Real Life Witnessing Tips:

Recently I was doing some work with some Environmental Engineers. Four of them were in a room with me, and one of the Environmental Engineers asked me for a business card. The only card I had on me was one that said “Free Creation Vs. Evolution Lesson.”

I handed him this card and after he read it he bellowed “Creation vs. Evolution lessons? What is this?”

I replied: “I am really interested in the topic of Creation vs. Evolution.”

Tip #1: Bring up the topic, tell them you think it is an interesting topic, but let them ask the big question.

After I brought up having an interest in Creation vs. Evolution, he naturally asked: “Well which side do you take on the issue?”

I looked around and all of the Environmental Engineers were eager to listen in. I answered his question on my opinion of Creation vs. Evolution, “I take the scientific side of course……….”

I paused.

I expected a follow up to my scientific side comment, and when none came I repeated “I believe in the scientific side,….Creation.”

After a look of surprise, one of the Environmental Engineers chirped “there is no science that supports creation!”

I answered: “Sure there is. There is:

The First Law of Thermodynamics.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics.
The Law of Biogenesis.
The entire field of Genetics.
Zoology.
Taxonomy,
Paleontology.”

Tip #2: Be prepared with quick and simple answers, and be confident Creation can stand up to attacks.

Then I asked a very simple question. It is a question I hope someday you politely ask an Evolutionist:

“If the Theory of Evolution is true, why isn’t there even one living animal alive today to support the theory of Evolution? There are trillions of animals alive today, and none are evidence for being a transitional form.”

Tip #3 Ask simple questions. Ask questions you can do follow up questions. Sometimes people ask very complex questions that neither side understands. Keep it simple!

The Biologist instantly said “what about Darwin’s Finches?”

When Charles Darwin visited the Galapagos Islands in 1831, he finches at different locations had different shapes and sizes of beaks. Beak sizes do indeed vary in a population based upon food availability. Imagine you have 10 birds with different types of beaks. If birds with shorter beaks can not get food, they die and do not reproduce. Longer beaked birds live and reproduce and are more likely to make birds with longer beaks. Eventually that is the only type of beak you will see in that locale.

This is natural selection which is true. But finches make finches! This is no evidence that finches have bacteria ancestors. Creation vs. Evolution is not complex. Either birds only have bird ancestors (Creation) or birds have bacteria ancestors (Evolution).
