Christadelphian Evolution Denialism
By Corky (Our Blog Founder)Why do anti-evolution people keep bringing up the big bang and the origin of life? Surely they know that has nothing to do with biological evolution. It is a known scientific fact that lifeforms have evolved (changed) over time on this planet. This fact is known by the fossil record left behind of those past lifeforms that no longer exist.The best explanation is that lifeforms changed over time by natural selection, mutation and environmental changes - evolution.

The Earth is around 4500 million years old. That's a fact, and anyone who asserts otherwise simply does not know what he is talking about. The evidence for this as I pointed out yesterday is considerable, and covers a wide range of areas from ice cores to radiometric dating.

Editor's Note: The Berea-Portal team's sinking faith has taken on more water with this latest article by Ken Gilmore. This is Liberal Christadelphianism taken to the Max. This is "Pick n' Mix" Christadelphianism where you decide for yourself what is or is not true in the Bible.

Dating Rocks and Fossils Using Geologic Methods
By Daniel J Peppe
Using relative and radiometric dating methods, geologists are able to answer the question: "how old is this fossil?"

Since January 2011, evangelical Christian and physical anthropologist James Kidder has been writing an excellent series of posts at BioLogos on the fossil evidence for human evolution. It's the sort of material that Christadelphians desperately need to read on the subject, particularly given that nearly fifty years ago, the then editor of The Christadelphian, LG Sargent acknowledged that:
Science - Not Fiction
By Credo Quia Absurdum
Christadelphians have sought to portray themselves as "A religion that makes sense" - as the old tract has it. In doing so they reject much of what mainstream Christianity includes, such as belief in the existence of malevolent supernatural forces - which certainly makes sense in the modern scientific world. And they go considerably further than the biblical authors who clearly understood that there were demons amongst the evil supernatural beings that were opposed to god.

The UK bans the teaching of creationism as science in all publicly funded schools

Excellent news indeed. Via i09
Back in 2012, the UK government banned all future free schools from teaching creationism as science, requiring them to teach natural selection. At the time, however, it didn't extend those requirement to academies, nor did the changes apply to existing free schools. The new verbiage changes this, precluding all public-funded schools — present or future — from teaching creationism as evidence-based theory.
Denial of Supernatural Elements of Scripture

One key aspect of Christadelphian theology which helps explain it is the denial of many supernatural elements in scripture that most of mainstream Christianity believes. Man to them is a physical being. He doesn’t have an immaterial soul or spirit. Neither does God also for that matter. Nor is there a devil. This simply refers to “sin in the flesh”. Nor are there demons. This simply refers to mental illness, epilepsy and other disorders.
