Not satisfied with the Biblical testimony of a Genesis Flood, the darwinites have come up with another explanation for the fossil record.
Rather than a record of the rapid and mass destruction of contemporary life forms, they say that the fossil record shows the gradual development of life from the simple to the complex.
Which theory best fits the data? Are there different and distinct life forms as in the created kinds that reproduce after their kind? Or is there a continuum of transitions and indistinguishable divisions between the different life forms?
Now ask the darwinites why their theory supports the Genesis Flood model. Can they offer an explanation that will not bring both laughter and sadness to the unbelievers; laughter in its sophistry and sadness that men could believe such nonsense?
Why does the whole world so easily turn away from truth to believe a lie? The Biblical view of man is lost as well as the Gospel that constrains his depravity.
John divides all that is in the world into the lusts of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life [1 John 2:16]. All men may be classified into these three ranks: some are proud and ambitious; some are worldly and covetous; and some are profane and voluptuous. It will stand with the ends of the profane man to broach errors so that he may more securely sin. Truth will not prevail with him to leave sin, and therefore his sin prevails with him to leave the truth. While he entertained the truth, it would not suffer him to live quietly in his sins; it was ever checking and reproving him. He could not sin without disturbance, and therefore he must either forego the truth or his sin; but his sin he cannot part with, and he now takes up such an opinion as allows him to keep his sin without disturbance and let him sin without trouble. [Bolton, Arraignment of Error]
