V1-32 Creator or Colonizer?
What are some reasons other than science that could explain why people choose to believe in evolution rather than creation? If God is not creator, then would that make Him a foreign invader? A colonizer with no moral right to rule and reign over us? Someone to fight against in the name of freedom? Is rebellion against God easier to justify if we deny His role as creator? These are just some of the questions to consider in this week's edition of the Walking Talking Bible Project.
