Author: Creationist Mindset Fertile Soil for Moral Beliefs

(AgapePress) - A chemist for a Fortune 500 company says there is a strong link between the evolutionary worldview and moral decay.For years, Bruce Malone says he believed what he had been taught about evolution in public universities. But his viewpoint changed after he examined the scientific evidence for creation -- evidence he says is basically ignored by most media and educators.
Malone has just released a new book, Search for the Truth, which is composed of short articles that examine the evidence for creation and reveal the misrepresentations presented as truth by evolutionists. He says when it comes to the evolution debate, it is vital for Bible-believing Christians to have reasonable answers to honest questions.
He says the early chapters of the Book of Genesis explain things accurately. "[J]ust read what it says," he urges. "It talks about all the mountains under all of the heavens were covered with water -- all of mankind, all of the animals were wiped out except for those saved on the ark, which is symbolic of ... salvation [through] Jesus Christ.
"Those who want to deny and discredit Christianity [say] the Bible talks about a local, small, little flood. It clearly doesn't."
The author is also concerned that children in Christian homes are not being equipped to defend the biblical view of creationism. "They're going through school, they're going through museums, they're going through all the big, popular movies -- [all of which absolutely deny] that there's ever been a literal creation, that there's ever been a worldwide flood, that there's ever been a fall of man," he explains.
"In other words, all of the things that the Bible has to say about the physical world are being denied -- and these kids aren't connecting the Bible to the real world around them."
Malone is convinced that an evolutionary mindset results in moral decay because it leads to wrong ideas about the value of human life and how individuals should live their lives.
