The Origins Debate



Questions:


1)  Dr Lisle quotes Dr Lee Spetner as saying that "All point mutations that have been studied on a molecular level turn out to reduce genetic information not increase it."  Why do you think evolution is so widely accepted today regardless of the fact that it ignores what we observe in genetics and information science?

2)  Dr. Lisle describes a rescuing device as an objection designed to protect a particular worldview from outside objections.  Can you think of a time when someone employed a rescuing device while you were sharing the Biblical worldview with them?  When have you used a rescuing device when someone questions you about your faith?

3)  As we talked about in class the origins debate is a debate over competing worldviews.  What are some ways you can think of that we can challenge unbeliever's worldviews to make a case for Biblical Christianity?

Let's have some great discussion.
