Many Christians struggle with the conflict between the scientific explanation of evolution and the faith-based affirmation of creationism. Initially, I too found it difficult to reject the theory of evolution I had learned in textbooks. At one point, I leaned on Francis Collins’ The Language of God to embrace theistic evolution, which posits that creation and evolution can coexist, seeking a reasonable compromise. However, through “Genesis Apologetics” and lectures by missionary Lee Jaeman, I was able to build conviction and a logical framework for creation science. I realized this long-standing debate ultimately connects directly to the essence of faith in God.

The Genesis account of creation reveals the process by which concepts of time, space, and matter were formed. The six-day creation sequence (light, sky and sea, plants, celestial bodies, fish and birds, animals and humans) possesses an extremely sophisticated and scientific structure. Notably, the ‘light’ created on the first day represented God’s life-giving power governing all creation even before the luminous body, the sun, came into being. On the third day, plants could grow without the sun precisely because of this invisible divine light (energy).

The Great Flood of Noah also provides astonishing geological insights. The flood that covered the world, caused by water pouring from above the firmament and springs gushing from the earth, was not merely rain but a massive catastrophe accompanied by tectonic shifts. During this time, countless trees and plants were buried and transformed into oil under immense pressure. This explains the concentration of oil fields in the Middle East, the presumed location of the Garden of Eden.

Above all, the ‘turbidity currents’ (high-density bottom currents) generated during the Flood solve the fossil mystery that modern geology has failed to resolve. The clusters of dinosaur fossils found in the Grand Canyon and the layered sedimentary strata are evidence formed instantaneously by massive water flows, not the result of long ages. Particularly, ‘multi-layered tree fossils’ embedded vertically through multiple strata directly refute the evolutionary timeline (the hypothesis that strata took millions of years to form).

Furthermore, creation science acknowledges ‘variation within species (microevolution)’ but asserts that ‘evolution between species (macroevolution)’ is impossible. If evolution were ongoing, humans with gills or new races specialized for cold climates should be appearing today, and countless intermediate fossil stages between apes and humans should be scattered everywhere. Yet even ‘Lucy,’ once touted as powerful evidence for evolution, was revealed to be an incomplete fossil assembled from fragmented bones.

We must remember that ‘experimental science,’ which allows for current replication and testing, holds greater reliability than ‘historical science,’ which infers past events. How many dinosaurs must have fallen off cliffs through trial and error for reptilian scales to transform into avian feathers? Such witty questions pierce the logical fiction inherent in evolutionary theory. It is ironic that believing in evolution actually requires greater ‘blind faith’. I look forward to the advancement of creation science, which proves the principles of creation based on scientific evidence, not blind belief.
