Creation Debate

One News Now has a debate ongoing about evolution and creation, including the Vatican's stance on evolution

That article is on whether the Gospel really needs creation and Genesis.

I find Dr. Terry Mortensen's comments illuminating and accurate. I would add that the Bible defines the everlasting gospel. Revelation 14 verses 6 and 7 say "I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth - to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people - saying with a loud voice, "Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgement has come, and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water" ".

So the Bible says that the everlasting gospel is that God created, will judge, and we should worship Him.

Seems to me that creation is indeed central to the gospel.

And I have seven unsaved brothers who agree - by default. They get extremely angry whenever I bring up creation, or, heaven help me, say that science supports the Bible.

Why do the unsaved get angry about the facts of creation? Because they have evil in their hearts, and as the light of truth shines into their hearts, they reject the truth and the One who brings that truth. Just as I did for the first 24 years of my life. And just as the Gospel of John ,Chapter 1, says that do.
