Lesson 3 - Creation and Evolution

1. Theists think the creation story is very important because:

   1. The Earth didn’t appear out of nowhere.

   2. The creation requires an intelligent creator like God.

   3. It is in the first book of the Bible.

   4. God doesn’t make mistakes.

2. Atheists think that the theory of evolution is important because:

   1. In an either/or belief system, God is not necessary.

   2. It is “more scientific.”

   3. It at the very least, disproves the creation story.

   4. All of the above.

3. If evolution explained how nature was created and developed it makes a difference because:

   1. We would have no absolute morality.

   2. Our own view of right and wrong would matter most.

   3. We would still need God to create the universe.

   4. None of the above.

4. What is the relationship between evolution and creation?

   1. Evolution could be one of God’s ways of changing or managing his creation.

   2. The creation story could still be valid with evolution functioning on a “micro level.”

   3. Creation would still not be able to explain our own consciousness and the existence and development of our souls.

   4. All of the above.

5. Scientifically, the theory of evolution:

   1. Is not borne out in the fossil record.

   2. It is only an unproven theory and not a law.

   3. The fossil record has not shown a change in kind which is required by the theory.

   4. All of the above.

6. Who wrote a preface to “The Origin of Species.”
