Why Believe in a Creator?

by Loren Haarsma

Overview

Ever since Charles Darwin published Origin of Species, the theory of evolution has been a battleground for competing scientific claims and religious ideologies. Evolution is not the first scientific theory to suffer this fate. Over a century earlier, Isaac Newton's laws of mechanics flowered into a metaphysics of clockwork determinism. Darwin's scientific theory has been coopted to serve a variety of philosophical masters: social Darwinism, eugenics, moral relativism, a metaphysics of chance, and, perhaps most important, the claim that there is no longer any reason to believe in a Creator.
