Sometimes 2+2=5, sometimes 3. Sometimes all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy becoming sane. - 1984
Defining evolution is somewhat like the shell game. The definition moves around (changes) so that the creation denier always wins. In this episode of the Science Pastor, Steve tackles the definition of evolution. Is there a definition that accurately defines evolution? The answer is yes, there is. And it is important that we have a correct definition of evolution. If we can't correctly define evolution, how do we know we are observing evolution, if we see it. How do we know if we are seeing evolution, if we test for it? Correct definitions are critically important.
This episode starts with UFO and aliens, a topic we'll be taking on in a future episode of the science pastor. The Science Pastor then shows how muscles prove evolution is impossible, and then he takes a look at numerous biology textbooks in an effort to get at a true definition of evolution.

Before you get the good news, you need to know the bad news. It's about you. God says:
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. - Romans 3:23
Sin means disobeying God, aka breaking God's law. God is perfect and perfection is required to enter heaven. It's a standard none of us can achieve. We all fall short. For example, compare yourself with just one of the Ten Commandments. Have you ever told a lie?
All liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. - Revelation 21:8. Or what about:
Have you ever taken something that does not belong to you, no matter how small? Have you ever looked at another person with lust? In Matthew 5 Jesus said:
Everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.' Have you done that?
You have broken God's laws. You have sinned. There must be justice, and that means eternity in hell, the lake of fire, the second death. Unless...
Unless there was someone willing to pay that penalty on your behalf. Someone who will take on themselves the consequences you deserve. And there is. There is one person who can and will do that. That person is Jesus Christ. If you trust this is true (believe), and repent (turn away from disobeying God), Jesus' death is applied to your account and you are freed from the penalty of sin to be with God forever.
