Objection
About This Series
Many people today dismiss the claims of Christianity outright because they believe the objections against it are self-evident and obviously unanswerable. The truth is that these objections are culturally conditioned rather than rigorously substantiated. Why not examine the objections objectively? What do you have to lose?

The Problem of Evolution
Part 4 of Objection
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
- 1. How should Christians respond to scientific theories which challenge our understanding of the bible?
- 2. What is your view of Neo-Darwinism and how it relates to the bible? What is the basis of your opinion?
- 3. What are the implications of atheistic naturalism for the meaning of reality and life? How should we respond to people who say that what we perceive to be true, (e.g. morality, free will or beauty) have no objective reality, but are merely the outcome of evolution (inherited adaptations that enabled our species to be positively selected by nature)?
