Armed with naturalistic assumptions, I would  almost assuredly come to the same conclusions as BioLogos and the  evolutionary establishment, or I would at least find evolutionary  arguments credible. But the most basic issue is, and has always been,  that of worldview and basic presuppositions. The entire intellectual  enterprise of evolution is based on naturalistic assumptions, and I do  not share those presuppositions. Indeed, the entire enterprise of  Christianity is based on supernaturalistic, rather than merely  naturalistic, assumptions. There is absolutely no reason that a  Christian theologian should accept the uniformitarian assumptions of  evolution. In fact, given a plain reading of Scripture, there is every  reason that Christians should <em>reject <\/em>a uniformitarian  presupposition. The Bible itself offers a very different understanding  of natural phenomena, with explanations that should be compelling to  believers. In sum, there is every reason for Christians to view the  appearance of the cosmos as graphic evidence of the ravages of sin and  the catastrophic nature of God\u2019s judgment upon sin.<\/em><em> \ufeff-<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/albertmohler\">Al Mohler..<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.albertmohler.com\/about\/\">If you&#8217;re unfamiliar with Al, you can read his bio\/credentials here. <\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>I found this quote <a href=\"http:\/\/unreasonablefaith.com\/2011\/01\/06\/al-mohler-on-why-he-doesnt-believe-facts\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>THOUGHTS? <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I have stated repeatedly, I accept without hesitation the fact that the world indeed looks old.
