The Work of Redemption

Evolutionary scientists like to picture themselves to the public as paragons of rational thought—cool, detached, careful observers and analyzers of the systems and processes of nature. Creationists on the other hand are pictured as ignorant, bigoted religionists, bent on destroying science in favor of ancient mythology.

A fascinating new book¹ has recently been published in England with the intriguing title, The Darwin Wars. The author, Andrew Brown, though himself an atheistic evolutionist, in 1995 won the Templeton Prize as the best religious affairs correspondent in Europe.

The almost incredible hysteria generated by the nation's evolutionary establishment over the recent Kansas decision is further indication that the creation/evolution issue is essentially a spiritual battle.

I realize this is a controversial subject—but aren't they all? And far be it from me to avoid controversy! I can remember when the only people using the word "millennium" were specialists in Bible eschatology.
