Carl Wieland chats with environmental biologist Douglas Oliver.
Dr Doug Oliver was raised in a ‘liberal Christian’ home and church. He says, “I thought that being ‘good’ and believing in a vague, traditional God was probably good enough to get me into Heaven.” His adoptive mother had even lived with an occultist for some time, yet despite this, she thought that people being descended from apelike creatures was ‘stupid’.
Jesus, the Bible, and traditional Christianity and Judaism, clearly support a direct, six-day Creation.
This may have been one reason why in 8th grade, when his theistic evolutionist teacher held a class creation/evolution debate, he was the only student who decided to take the side labelled as ‘fundamentalist’ (i.e., in favour of biblical creation). He says, “In some vague way, I wanted to be good and to support God the Creator. However, this was before a lot of the modern creation revival, so I did not have much information to back up my position.”
