On The Line Dr. Gordon Wilson: The Creation vs. Evolution Debate Isn’t What You Think
Jan 26, 2026
Dr. Gordon Wilson, a biologist and Senior Fellow of Natural History who creates science-theology resources, discusses how modern evolutionary narratives reshape culture and morality. He traces historical shifts from flood geology to uniformitarianism and Darwin. He examines fossils, molecular complexity, the flood as a rapid-deposition explanation, and the Riot and the Dance project celebrating creation as God’s art museum.

Episode notes
Choose A Coherent Origin Story
- Dr. Gordon Wilson rejects blending evolutionary narratives with biblical teaching because they produce conflicting worldviews.
- He argues one must choose creation or evolution because they lead to different theological and cultural outcomes.
Similarity Doesn't Prove Descent
- Evolutionists lean on anatomical similarity as evidence for common ancestry.
- Wilson counters that similarity can equally indicate common design rather than descent.
Mousetrap Analogy For Cellular Machines
- Wilson recounts learning from Michael Behe and adapting irreducible complexity into a cellular example: muscle contraction.
- He uses the mousetrap analogy to show multi-part molecular systems fail if parts are missing.
