The Descent of a
Man
It is becoming increasingly common for Christians who
want to embrace evolution to accuse atheists like Dawkins of hijacking
Darwin for their own ends. Such people like to portray Darwin as a honest
man who was confused by his daughter’s suffering. At the end of 2009, which
was Darwin's double anniversary year, a Creation Research Evidence News
email update featured a collection of statements by Darwin and his friend
Charles Lyell, which highlighted their joint objective of undermining Christianity
in Britain. This is such an important summary of Darwin's views that we
circulated a printed version with our UK Update in May 2010 and it is that
version which is found here.

What type of
God would choose to use evolution?
The media very much made 2009 'Darwin's year' with its
double celebration of his birthday and the publication of his book. Evangelicals
who seek to shape the Bible to fit Darwin's theory were also hard at work
publishing books and speaking at events. This article asks important questions
of those who insist the God of the Bible did not create the universe in
six days through The Word, but used millions of years of death, sickness
and violence.

A film called "Creation" and which is being promoted by a
Christian organisation, actually promotes evolution. This page provides
a review, by John Peet of the Biblical Creation Society, of this film which

Atheists, especially those who frequent the media, regularly
claim that there is no evidence for God. However, do they know what criteria
evidence for God would have to meet to satisfy them? This article looks
at what the design of the universe tells us, not so much about the
absolute necessity for a designer, but about their nature and power. It
also considers the consequences of their creation being handed over to
people who wanted to run the world their way not God's!

In 2005 & 2006 the British media began to focus
its attacks on the Intelligent Design movement as well as creationism in
general. This article reviews some of those attacks and examines the differences
between Biblical creation, ID and alternative creation accounts.

One of the saddest facts about the debate over creation
and evolution is that it has not just to be argued with non-Christians.
In the UK the evangelical church considers itself to be "Bible believing"
but a large percentage of its leadership, perhaps the majority, choose
to argue against the historical accuracy of the Biblical account of the
origin of human life and the whole universe. This articles highlights what
else is being sacrificed in order to gain acceptance by a secular society.

When the BBC broadcast this programme presented by
Jeremy Bowen our phones began to ring. This short review looks at the content
of the programme and the poor quality of research and biased comments which
ran through it. Whilst the programme may now be no longer relevant, the
misguiding techniques used in its production are still in use.
