When you have questions about history or science you turn to the experts in those subjects, historians or scientists in related fields of study. Many Christians however will instead turn to Christian apologists for answers related to history or science but when you get right down to it apologists are essentially professional liars. If history or science supported their claims then apologists would not exist. Historians and scientists are perfectly able to speak for themselves as they do with all the topics that don't contradict Christian claims.

The image to the left is from a mobile phone background created by Not Of This World clothing. It quotes Charles Darwin mentioning that it's absurd to think the complex human eye could have evolved naturally. This is a favorite amongst apologists to "prove" that evolution is absurd and that Darwin himself agreed. Apologists however conveniently never mention the text that immediately follows this quote from The Origins of Species.

Darwin mentions the absurdity to point out that no matter how absurd an idea may sound it may still be true. He goes on to explain how the human eye easily could have evolved through natural means and even gives examples of the various intermediate stages which can be seen in organisms living today.

 

 

Apologists claim that evolution is "just at theory" and therefore is not actually true. In reality evolution is not a theory, it is a scientific fact. The explanation of how evolution occurred is called a theory.

In layman's terms a "theory" is just a hunch or guess. In scientific terms that is called a hypothesis. A theory in scientific terms is a well-substantiated explanation based on lines of evidence that enable valid predictions and have been tested through various means. The "theory of evolution" is the explanation of how life evolved. The "theory of gravity" is the explanation of how gravity works.

When physicists say that "nothing" existed before the Big Bang then mean nothing material. All matter came from energy and before the Big Bang only energy existed. No one knows yet if energy came from something else or if it always existed.

Time is simply the measurement of movement and the increments of such measurement (e.g. minutes, hours, days) are based off of how long it takes for Earth to move around the sun. During the Big Bang is when everything in our universe was set into motion making the start of motion and thus the start of time in our universe. Space on the other hand is, in simplest terms, the area within a container. Prior to the Big Bang our entire universe was condensed into a tiny fireball but then that ball rapidly expanded creating space within it. When scientists talk about the start of time & space they are talking about the start of movement and the formation of space within our universe, not the start of all time & space. The Big Bang that created our universe is believed to be just one of many Big Bangs that each created separate universes containing time & space.
