Is the creation/evolution debate taboo in our churches?

Gotta love being in quebec then!Around here the subject is certainly not taboo, first because everyone hs the same opinion: Young-earth creationist, with some variants to the gap theory, but still with supernatural creation.Furthermore, since it is atheist country, there is no debate as to teach it in schools or anything. In fact, there is a single scientist who 'fights' creationism in the whole province lol. And one creationist organizations with only two speakers. Any time there is a debate, it is between the said scientist and one of those two hehe.We discuss it regularly I would guess, even past sunday there was a short 10min video of a debate on the subject in front of the whole church, and since I'm pretty up-to-date in the subject, they sometimes ask me to go and talk about it in the teenager's classes at sunday school.As for teaching apologetics, we are in fact have a 2h30 apologetics course at church every week with the teacher being a PhD in theology professor at a nearby university.So I would guess that my fellow christians at my local church here could probably have better arguments to defend the christian worldview, all of it.

Yeah well the church I attend here is non-denominational. And in terms of the quality of teaching, I'm pretty sure it is bout the best in the whole province, we get a lot of meat.But I sometimes I go to other churches and they also try to sustain it on 'baby food', no rational thinking, no deep theological inquiry, just appeal to the emotional. I don't feel this is the way to go at all.Now yo useem to be very interested on the impact the Creation/evolution debate can have on the modern church. I would suggest that you go and buy the book 'already gone' which is a major study AiG conducetd and published this year. The results are simply jawbreaking, with the issue of evolution being the main reason why young adults leave our churches.I would even suggest that you go right now listen to Ken Ham' recent 'state of the Nation' which was held when the book was published, very enlightening and it will surely reaffirm your beleif that this issue isn't a 'side-issue' Godless in America Jun 26, 2009 | Answers in Genesis
