You Say You Want an Evolution?

I am interested in the evolution of evolution. Until the mid-20th Century, Creation was accepted fact, everything else was fringe belief. How did we move so quickly from Creation being the norm and Evolution being fringe to Evolution being the norm and Creation being the fringe? More importantly, what is the effect of this change?



It turns out that the beginning of the end for Creation was in fact in the 1840's. At that time the geologists began talking about an Earth that was far older than had been previously estimated--moving from a several thousand year old Earth to a several million year old Earth. A key player in arguing for a young Earth was Ellen White, who explained that the difference in estimates was due to the effects of the flood.



Now it seems quite intriguing to me that those items that are most dangerous physically, environmentally, and emotionally were all invented after the 1840's, after the beginning of the conversion from a young Earth to the general acceptance of an old Earth. Computers, Televisions, Radios, Airplanes, modern weaponry, and, most importantly, the car, all came about after this pivotal 1840's period. Even electric lights came about after the 1840's. Yes, everything that you are afraid to give up and feel that you cannot live without, were invented in a period following the beginning of the fall from acceptance of Creation to acceptance of Evolution.

Praise Him Daily and He will bless you abundantly. G-D bless you.
