The objection deserves a real answer rather than a dodge. Read the release laws, the fugitive statute in Deuteronomy 23, and the death penalty on man-stealing — then ask who was reading the book straight.
Materialism says nothing is for anything. Then it hands you a textbook that cannot be written without the word. Open
Apologetics · Creation and Science — a short scene in Genesis 2 that every reading of origins has to account
Ink means milk only because a mind reads it. Your thought needs no reader. Forty years of naturalist work on meaning has either smuggled in an interpreter or denied that meaning is real.
Natural selection can adjust a finished animal. The unanswered question is how it edits the early instructions that build one, when those are exactly the instructions that cannot be edited and survive.
Apologetics · Naturalism — if matter is all there is, there is no one left to blame A man reads

Science can describe every neuron that fires when you see red. It still cannot say why there is anyone home
Creation ex nihilo and the question underneath every other question: why is there a you at all? There are two
Apologetics — the question is not only “could God have used evolution?” It is “what does a real Adam cost?”
“I do not need God to be a good person.” Of course you can behave well without God. But that was never the real question. The real one is where “well” comes from at all — and matter in motion cannot sign the moral law written on every heart.
If everything is particles obeying physics, then no one has ever chosen anything — and every courtroom, apology, and repentance becomes theater. Yet no one can live that way.
Apologetics · Creation — where the seams show Of all the positions a Christian can hold on origins, theistic evolution
