Evolution theory, creation and the origin of the universe – Articles and analyses
This page gathers my writings in which I discuss evolution theory, creation, the Big Bang theory and atheistic origin theories. I examine the topic from the perspective of natural science, philosophy, logic and theology.
The goal is to help the reader understand:
-
the key differences between evolution theory and creation
-
why the Big Bang theory and atheistic origin theories are problematic
-
how the fine‑tuning of nature and the conditions for life point to design
-
why there is no convincing evidence for human evolution
-
how worldview affects the interpretation of scientific evidence
Evolution theory and creation – articles
Science in delusion
Read the article: Science in delusion Read how science has gone seriously astray regarding theories about the origin of the universe and life. The article thoroughly examines the weaknesses of atheistic origin theories. It is impossible to reasonably explain the existence of the universe and life without God. The text also shows how preconceived assumptions strongly influence what is considered “scientific truth” and how creation is excluded from the outset. If the evidence is examined as it is, without these assumptions, it clearly points to God’s creative work and the existence of God.
Images in the main role
Read the article: Images in the main role. People often assume that science has proven the spontaneous origin of the universe, life and evolution. These impressions, however, are based on falsehood. Storytelling is often more important than actual evidence. Evolution theory is defended with imaginary transitional stages and reconstructions that have never been observed.
Creation in review
Read the article: Creation in review. Creation or the spontaneous origin of the universe and life, together with the idea of evolution — which one is true? The evidence clearly points to creation.
Theistic evolution under inspection
Read the article: Theistic evolution under inspection. Theistic evolution attempts to combine God’s creative work with evolution theory. However, theistic evolution contradicts the Bible. In addition, practical evidence refutes the idea of theistic evolution.
Conditions for life – coincidence?
Read the article: Conditions for life - coincidence? Fine‑tuning in the universe and on Earth clearly points to God’s creative work. Life is not the result of chance but the result of God’s creation.
Questions about science
Read the article: Quesions about science. If God’s creation is rejected and evolution theory with its millions of years is accepted, questions arise that cannot be answered reasonably. These questions concern, for example, the origin of consciousness, morality, life and the universe.
Why has there not been an evolution of man?
Read the article: Why has there not been an evolution of man? Did humans develop from ape‑like ancestors or were they created? Evolutionists’ own findings contradict the idea of human evolution. The article highlights missing transitional forms and ambiguous discoveries.
How did everything begin?
Read the article: How did everything begin? We are repeatedly told about the Big Bang and the spontaneous origin of celestial bodies and life — but can everything really arise from nothing, by chance and without purpose? The article discusses how dead‑end these atheistic views are.
Is the theory of evolution true?
Read the article: Is the theory of evolution true? Read about examples of evolution and whether they can be used as evidence. Examples of evolution always point to variation within basic kinds and adaptation to conditions. Evolution theory relies on faith‑based assumptions that are rarely questioned.
“All species descent from the same stem cell”
Read the article: "All species descent from the same stem cell" The idea of a single original cell from which everything descended is based more on assumptions than observations, because the fossil record does not show clear transitional forms between species, nor is there a natural explanation for the origin of life. The complexity of life and the large differences between species point to creation.
Solar System series under review
Read the article: Solar System series under review. I review a secular TV series that discusses the origin and development of the solar system. I highlight how many of the claims in the program are based on assumptions rather than observations, and how creation offers a better explanation.
Artificial intelligence overturns the standard theory of the origin of the solar system
Read the article: Artificial intelligence overturns the standard theory of the origin of the solar system. Read how artificial intelligence reveals problems in the conventional atheistic model of the solar system’s origin. It is far more reasonable to assume that God created the universe and life.

❓ Frequently asked questions about evolution, creation and origins
🌌 The origin of galaxies and stars
Have galaxies, stars and planets really arisen from nothing without God? Atheistic origin theories that attempt to explain everything by chance and without a first cause are scientifically and logically problematic. The existence of the universe requires an explanation that chance alone cannot provide — creation offers a more coherent foundation.
🧬 The origin of life
Can life truly arise by chance from non‑living matter? The structural complexity of life, the origin of information and the required conditions strongly point to design. Natural science has not been able to demonstrate that life could arise spontaneously without an intelligent source.
🌍 Fine‑tuning
How do fine‑tuning and the conditions for life point to design? The extreme precision of the universe’s constants and Earth’s conditions makes chance an implausible explanation. Fine‑tuning fits far better with intentional creation.
🦴 The fossil record
Why does the fossil record not contain clear transitional forms between species? Fossils show clear differences between species, but no undisputed transitional forms have been found. This supports the view that species originated in basic groups, not through gradual development.
🧑🦲 Human origins
Why is it reasonable to question human evolution from ape‑like ancestors? Alleged transitional forms are often ambiguous, incomplete or later disproven. Evolutionists’ own findings contain contradictions that challenge the idea of gradual development.
🧠 Worldview and science
How does worldview affect the interpretation of scientific evidence? Atheistic naturalism excludes the supernatural from the outset. If evidence were examined without this restriction, many observations would point to creation.
📖 Theistic evolution
What is the problem with theistic evolution? Theistic evolution attempts to combine the Bible and evolution, but it contradicts the order of creation. Scientific evidence also does not support a model in which God uses evolution as a creative method.
🐾 Variation in nature
What does evolution actually show in nature? Nature shows variation within basic kinds and adaptation to the environment, but not the emergence of new genetic information or the transformation of species into different major groups.
☀️ The origin of the solar system
How has artificial intelligence influenced the evaluation of solar system origin theories? AI analyses have revealed new logical and physical problems in traditional naturalistic models. This has increased interest in creation as an alternative.
🧩 Creation as an explanation
Why does creation explain the universe better than atheistic theories? Creation provides a coherent explanation for consciousness, morality, reason and the complexity of life — things that chance‑based processes cannot adequately explain.
