Darwinists and Creationists both agree that in order to be fossilized, the
subjects had to be buried completely and very quickly to keep the subject
from total decomposition so that there would be anything to fossilize! In
fact, the debate is not that flooding and rapid burial are critical elements
in fossilization; the debate is now whether there were hundreds [or
thousands] of small, local flood events or a single global flood such as the
Bible records.

Can a person believe in both Evolution and Creation?

John MacArthur, in The Battle for the Beginning said, “Absolutely nothing in the text of Genesis 1:1-
2:3 speaks of evolution or long geologic ages in creation process. The text itself is in fact a
straightforward refutation of all evolutionary principles. Theistic evolution, billion-year-old-earth
theories, and ‘progressive creationism’ are all refuted if we simply take the statements of Genesis at
34
face value.”

The foundational concepts of macro-evolutionary theory and the Biblical Creator God are mutually
exclusive.

Here’s why:

New Testament Verses Confirming the Creation of the Universe
