Evolution Revisited:

I watched the new "Planet of the Apes" movie this summer and I thought it was the best sci-fi movie of the year. The special effects were great and the story was good. The difference of the new movie with the original was monkeys are given a serum that makes them smarter in this new movie. The future will be man against the apes. The original story line was simply monkeys evolved into apes which did not have a major part in this new movie.

I find it interesting that so many people put their faith now into science to solve all our problems and evolution is viewed by many as a fact and not just a theory any more. Many people have told me they did not want to see this movie because it was about apes. If evolution is a fact, why not go then? If many Christians have separated their spiritual life from their secular life, I can't help but wonder if many evolutionists have not done something similar? They believe evolution is true but live their life in such a way that ignores its implications?

While many modern Christians have no problem any more connecting science to their faith or making their faith very scientific, the problem of lack of discipleship and Christians living a disciplined life for the Lord seems to be really losing ground these days. One would think if science is really the solution, why are our spiritual lives not getting any better? Maybe surivival ethics versus a love ethic make strange bedfellows?
