Evolution Evidence:

The Inescapable Evidence Supporting Evolution

I said on the home page that the evolution evidence is "abundant and overwhelming." Not everyone believes that.

This page explains why I tell you so confidently that the evolution evidence is indisputable.

I am gearing this page toward creationists who oppose evolution. A scientist would likely believe that the most significant evidence of evolution is the integration of all the sciences. There is no scientific discipline that is not impacted by evolution.

Evolution is a unifying concept for science &hellip because of its importance across the disciplines of science. Scientific disciplines with a historical component, such as astronomy, geology, biology, and anthropology, cannot be taught with integrity if evolution is not emphasized. (National Science Teachers Association, emphasis mine)

A creationist struggling with evolution and its implications, however, is not going to undertake a lifetime study of astronomy, geology, biology, and anthropology in order to recognize that this statement by the NSTA is true. So we will focus on the blips on the radar screen of science that are inexplicable apart from evolution.

Evolution Evidence That Influenced Me

I was a young-earth creationist for many years. These are the pieces of evidence supporting evolution that had the strongest effect on me.

"Creationists"

Not all creationists oppose evolution.

I, for example, am a creationist because I am a Christian who believes God created everything. All theistic evolutionists (link coming) are creationists who believe in evolution.

People are different. Other items on this page may matter much more to you.

The Bible tells us we can and should believe what nature teaches us.
Spiritual growth occurs through the same processes as evolution: the principles underlying natural selection.
Stars evolve over time, and supernovas produce organic molecules.
The Haymond Formation is direct, viewable, physical evidence that the earth is significantly older than 10,000 years.
No one, not even the strictest young-earth creationist, always takes the Bible's creation accounts literally.
