"At the far end of the world, there exists a strange and unusual chain of islands, resting above vast tectonic plates. This is the world of the Galápagos Archipelago, home to salt-spitting marine iguanas, flightless cormorants, and giant tortoises that can live to be more than 150 years of age. It is also the birthplace of Darwinism, for here in 1835, a young Charles Darwin began to formulate a theory which would turn the world upside down. More than a century and a half later, these mysterious islands remain at the center of a controversy that has shaped the way modern men perceive science, religion, and life itself. The unique ingredients found on the Galápagos have led many of Darwin's followers to describe it as Darwin's Eden — a "laboratory of evolution."
The creation week has been great attack for the past 150 years. Unfortunately much of this attack has come from not only within the members of the Church, but also the leaders of God's people. Many Churches have departed from understanding this week as cosmic and covenantal creation. This week describes how God created the heavens, the earth and their fullness. It also reveals how God structured what He created; instructing His creation how to view and shape life. Accepting Genesis on face value, as the Word of God, without bowing the knee to modern science is an act of faithful (covenantal) obedience to Christ. But what we must realise is that this faithful obedience is not blind faith. Reason stands upon the shoulders of faith; consistent, obedient Christian faith allows us to go out into the world and make sense of what we discover. This cannot be said for those who advocate unbiblical theories to maintain peace with modern religiosity, science!
