Faith and Creation
"One cannot help but notice that over one-half of the contents of Hebrews 11 is devoted to the book of Genesis. We can therefore see by this alone how relevant this chapter of the Epistle to the Hebrews is at the present time. The attack upon Christianity in our day centres largely in the culmination of two anti-God movements: (1) the embellishments of Hegelian philosophy and (2) the modifications of the thought of Charles Darwin. By the embellishments of Hegel’s philosophy I refer mainly to the emergence of the Higher Criticism of the Bible and Marxism. These forces, combined with a denial of creation ex nihilo, have done more to undermine faith in the Bible than anything else has done in recent times. The modern church has largely succumbed to this trend in the twentieth century, and as a consequence it is exceedingly difficult to find a churchman or theologian today who does not believe in some form of the theory of evolution. The conspiracy against the Bible has focused mainly in an undermining of the book of Genesis."

Actually, I think the equation works. The proper mathematical illustration is some say 2+2+0=4, but others say 2+2+God=4, therefore God=0. In your illustration, nobody thinks ... Read More
