Understanding Origins from a Biblical Perspective

Session 2 – Sept 18 – Overview of Biological Evolution

This session looks at the claims of biological evolution in light of observation and in light of what we can understand about biological variation from Scripture. This includes explanations of horizontal and vertical evolution, genetics, mutation and natural selection. The importance of information & evolution’s inability to explain the source for, or the increase of this information is presented.  There is also significant discussion on the biological model from Scripture & how this better fits the observable facts.

Key verses:

• “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds…” – Genesis 1:24
• "And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every kind into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female” – Genesis 6:19
