Is evolution in trouble? For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

According to a recent article in The Guardian, the theory of evolution might be in trouble.

For the first time and a long time, scientists are bucking the so-called Neo-Darwinian synthesis,

which has dominated the sciences since the early 20th century. Now, this doesn't mean evolution is

finished as a theory, but it may mean the end of thinking of it as the only theory.

And there's a lesson here for Christians. Every new fad in science of the arts or government

or social issues comes with the temptation to capitulate or to end up on the wrong side of history.

When the past proponents of the death of religion, the looming population bomb, utopian Marxism,

and all kinds of other theories have made that claim,

only to be proven completely false as time went on.

As a theory of everything, neo-Darwinism has failed.

As a theory of the origins of biological diversity, it's failing.

Christians have no cause to abandon what scripture reveals,

just because an idea, lifestyle, or theory becomes popular.
