There are several proposals regarding the origin of the universe and the inhabited earth, the most prominent being Biblical creationism and naturalistic evolutionism. Biblical creationism proposes that the reality around us was created supernaturally by a personal and transcendent Being, who first shaped an earth that was disordered and then filled it with all kinds of life; At the end of the process, he created the human being to represent him visibly in the government or administration of other things. On the other hand, naturalistic evolutionism proposes that the reality that surrounds us is the product of a process in which, without any type of supernatural intervention, natural laws, acting on matter over time and at random, gave rise in a way gradually to the universe, to the inhabited earth and to organisms. Which of the two fits more with the evidence and the reality that surrounds us? Although it is true that trying to explain the origin of both have limitations, the reality is that Biblical creationism is not only more consistent with the evidence, but also with social reality. Furthermore, it is easier to explain how the creationist model harmonizes with the apparent difficulties or contradictions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Christian theism is not about paper, not about the senses, not about the reason for obtaining knowledge. Quite the contrary. On the one hand, it recognizes that God has delegated to human beings the task of knowing the natural secrets of the universe through empirical observation and experimentation. On the other hand, recognize the role of reason at the time of intuiting ethical truths that have been written in our hearts. But Scripture also emphasizes that there are transcendental truths that go beyond what our senses can perceive and what our reason can conceive. In addition, subray the noetic effects of sin that lead human beings to suppress and unfairly exchange the truth of God for the lie. These reasons make it necessary then a third epistemological source that guides the reason and the senses in its conclusions. This third epistemological source is known as REVELACIÓN, which reaches its climax in the persona and work of Jesus Christ, el Son of God. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
