This article from the Creation Research Society Quarterly addresses the conflict between young-earth creationism (YEC) and evolutionary viewpoints, particularly within Christian circles. The author, Kevin Anderson, argues that majority opinion shouldn't dictate belief, especially when it comes to the origins of life and the age of the earth. He contends that evolutionary theory, often presented as irrefutable, rests on assumptions and interpretations of evidence that are frequently biased. Anderson highlights specific examples, such as the dating of fossils and the interpretation of evolutionary mechanisms, to illustrate how observations are "bent" to fit the evolutionary paradigm. He champions a critical evaluation of origins, encouraging Christians to avoid blindly accepting popular scientific narratives and to consider the YEC perspective.
