Creation Moment 11/16/2018 - Heart of the Issue

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Romans 1:20

"The theory of Darwinian evolution attempts to explain why life doesn’t require a designer or creator—in other words, God. Consider the following quotes:
  • Richard Dawkins, a world-renowned atheist, wrote in his book The Blind Watchmaker: Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a
    purpose
    ” (1996, p. 4).  
  • Francisco Ayala, an evolutionary biologist and philosopher, wrote in his book Darwin’s Gift to Science and Religion:The functional design of organisms and their features would therefore seem to argue for the existence of a designer. It was Darwin’s greatest accomplishment to show that the directive organization of living beings can be explained as the result of a natural process, natural selection, without any need to resort to a Creator or other external agent” (quoted in Signs of Intelligence: Understanding Intelligent Design, 2001, p. 146).
Both of these scientists agree that what we see in nature appears to be designed, yet they believe that it happened without a designer. This goes to the heart of the issue: Is there a master designer who created all things, or did it all come about by natural processes?"
