Evolution, Adam and Eve | Rev. Adam Hamilton | Church of the Resurrection

For centuries, people have debated the relationship between faith and science. In this sermon, Pastor Adam dives deep into the conversation, exploring how evolution and Biblical creation intersect. He revisits the historic Scopes Trial and unpacks how science and faith don’t have to be enemies—but rather, two ways of understanding truth. Through scripture and historical context, Pastor Adam reveals that God is not distant from the process of creation—He is deeply involved. Every moment of history, every change in nature, and even every genetic mutation is within His divine plan. More than just explaining how we got here, the Bible speaks to why—God created us with purpose, and that purpose is to love and care for others. By watching this sermon, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how faith and science can work together. You’ll discover that being human is more than just biological existence—it’s about living with compassion, serving those in need, and walking in the love and purpose God has given us. Don’t miss this powerful message from Pastor Adam! Watch now and be challenged to see both faith and science in a new light.
