HOW DID WE COME TO BE? CREATION OR EVOLUTION?
Many in our society are more and more rejecting God as their creator. When it comes to our origin and purpose on this earth, our educational system is teaching our young people, the religion of evolution. The basic question that evolution claims to have found the answer to is, how we came to be. Today young people are taught the Darwin theory of evolution. Charles Darwin was an English naturalist, he is best known for his theory of evolution. Darwin stated this theory in several books. He applied his theory to the evolution of man from a primitive monkey-like animal. Both books aroused world-wide controversy. Darwin studied wildlife while on a voyage and he noticed the variation in the appearance of the individual animals. He guessed that this variation, given enough time, would allow these animals to change to the point that they looked different. "Darwinism", teaches that all life started, randomly, without purpose, minus any intervention by God. This means that we're talking about life starting spontaneously and from a single organism came every type of living thing we see today - including germs, bugs, animals, fish, and all of the plants too. Romans the first chapter states, "20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen." It's sad, that many very highly intelligent individuals, (Such as Professor Darwin), would rather, credit their origin and existence to evolution and a wild beast, rather than give honor to a living, loving all wise God and creator.

Each of us must decide if we are going to agree with Professor Darwin, and accept an ape as our great great grandfather, or acknowledge God as our divine creator. One of the first things God established in his word, in the first book and chapter of the Bible, is the fact that he created us. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Gen 1:26-27. Each of us must decide if we are going to believe what the Bible says, or what man says. (compare below, click the next tab to advance to the next slide) |
THE RELIGION OF EVOLUTION----- EVOLUTION IS REALLY A RELIGION OF UNBELIEF IN GOD. And that's its whole purpose; to eliminate faith in God and to foster the false doctrine of devils that the creation created itself and God had nothing to do with it, so there doesn't need to be a God--it could have happened without Him! Today, much of the world's educated population has been persuaded that their universe was not put in place by a kind and personal God; rather, it is said to be the product of a cold and impersonal explosion some 15 billion years ago. Even many Christians today, frightened by the boasts of scientists, have succumbed to thinking that God played only a small part in the universe we see today. Academic science of today often does not abide by true scientific law, but propitiates slanted study that under its own scrutiny fails. Most studies on ultimate origins have been done with the intent of denying creation, treating the "Theory of Evolution" as fact even though it has been proven scientifically impossible. Without any real proof, the religion of evolution, tells us to believe. Though evolutionists adamantly deny that evolution is a religion, this is exactly what it is. Evolution does not deny creation; it attempts to take credit for it. You can hardly read a book or watch a nature program where it is not said that ?evolution created', or ?evolution designed' something. Compare what one nature show on TV, said about evolution's ability to think and create. "Pain is good". It helps keep us away from things that are invariably unhealthy. This is how evolution works. It designs systems to help us survive. Though the word ?create' was not used here, This TV program, is crediting evolution with the design of the nervous system. With the forethought of survival, evolution designed pain to help promote survival. Can evolution truly create? Does it have the power to destroy? If we look at the big picture that is being painted, we can clearly see that almost all the attributes of God are being attributed to Evolution. Evolution is a god. It has the power to plan, design, create, judge, and destroy. When arguing against creation, evolutionists argue that religion has no place in science. However, if we look at their own words we can clearly see that religion is dictating modern science. The prophets of evolution are fighting to promote their religion and attempts to suppress the true and living God, while at the same time glorifying their so called god and creator, evolution. While denying being a religion, evolution systematically undermines the Bible and paints a portrait of the god of Evolution. |
So why has Satan and man joined forces, in the developing the scheme of evolution? ON THE PART OF SATAN-To try get rid of God and the honor he is due as the all wise creator, to try and undermine the creative glory of God. ON THE PART OF MAN-- to try and rid themselves of their moral accountability to God. . |
If the Theory of Evolution can completely account for the observable universe, no belief in the supernatural is necessary, and we are accountable to no one but ourselves. If that is true, we might as well get all we can while we can. In this atmosphere anything goes; if it feels good, do it. This attitude permeates a significant segment of today's society. Many who have embraced evolution have a problem in rejecting evolution, because they have already rejected God. In the words one writer "EVOLUTION!- Is one of Satan's greatest lies, in these last day modern times. It has NO FOUNDATION IN FACT whatsoever; there's no evidence for it, no discovery yet has been made to prove it! As one of its top exponents, Margaret Mead, the famous contemporary anthropologist wrote in her own introduction to her textbook on anthropology: "We as honest scientists must confess that science has yet to discover one single iota (tiny speck) of concrete evidence to prove the evolutionary theory! The truth of the matter is, God created us, perhaps the single greatest category of evidence for supernatural creation is in the nature of the creation itself, which everywhere shows such intricate design that it could not have come by random chance.
USING OUR GOD GIVEN COMMON SENSE
The human eye can distinguish among seven million colors. It moves 100,000 times each day with automatic focusing. And the eye handles 1.5 million simultaneous messages. It is assumed that such random chance takes a great amount of time to perfectly assemble something complex. Let's say someone handed you a plastic bag filled with all the parts to a watch, where you were certain that all the correct springs, screws, discs are in that bag. How long would you be willing to shake that bag hoping that the pieces would fall together and the screws would each find the right hole and tighten nicely? There must be some possibility that it could happen. Picture yourself shaking that bag. You probably wouldn't shake it beyond 30 seconds. Why not? Because common sense tells you that no matter how long you shake that bag, the pieces will never align to become a working watch. It wouldn't matter if you shook that bag one minute or thousands of years. Just because someone argues that "maybe, someday, somehow, by chance"... should that line of reasoning supersede common sense? Ever since Darwin, evolutionists have searched in vain for the countless transitional forms (the missing link, which shows the transition from one species' to another) which were predicted to be discoverable, on the basis of evolutionary theory. Each basic type of plant or animal appears in the fossil record abruptly, fully formed, just as predicted on the basis of creation.
Mt. Rushmore, as you probably know, consists of the facial images of four ex Presidents on the side of a mountain. Suppose a tour guide told his tour group that those faces are "the result of billions of years of nature, such as glaciers, lighting and erosion." How long would the tour guide keep his job? What would the tour group think? He'd be fired by lunch time and his tour group would think he was insane! Those images obviously required planning, design and an artist. Suppose an anatomy teacher at your school taught that human faces are "the result of billions of years of nature, such as mutations, natural selection etc." How long would this anatomy professor keep his job? He would feel very secure in his job and might make Dean! The anatomy professor, who taught that the human body appears to be the result of an intelligent design, is the one that potentially would be fired. |
Look at your computer. Suppose I tried to convince you that a glass factory, a plastic factory, a metal factory, a paint factory, and a silicon factory all exploded, and became a fireball. The result of this explosion, combined with a chemical reaction and time was your computer. You would never believe it. Your intellect and logic would cause you to passionately deny an explanation that an explosion and mixing of chemicals and time could ever produce something as functional and orderly like a computer. Don't let anyone convince you that your body is the end product of an explosion, the mixing of chemicals and time. Your body is infinitely more complex than your computer, the reason being, it was made by a smarter designer, GOD! |
The human reproduction, hearts, lungs, livers, kidneys, eyes etc. The conclusion that these complex systems are result of an intelligent designer requires much less faith than the idea it arose by time and chance. I have read a lot of evolutionist literature, and I have never seen an explanation of how complex organs & systems evolved. THINK! How could something like human reproduction have evolved? How did half the population evolve male systems, and the other half evolve female systems that work together so precisely and in such incredible complexity to produce a baby? |
What an offense it must be to God our creator, when men examine themselves and comes the conclusion, they were not created, by the intelligent design of God. In spite of man's ability to express himself emotionally, to love, hate, to feel pride, joy, anger, sympathy, etc, as well as use his rational side, many today view themselves, as an unplanned accident of evolution. The Bible says that all who do this are without excuse. 19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Rom 1:19-20. There is something in each, which confirms the reality of our creator. In fact it is in him that we sense our being, (have an inward perception, of self). Paul said God our creator is not far from any of us, meaning it's not hard to sense, the reality of his existence, by inwardly examining our own. 26And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 27That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Acts 17:26-28. As Romans 1:20 says, "For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made (His Creation), even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse!" If the world and its inhabitants are God's creation, then they're His property--and if they're His property, then He's got the right to hold them accountable for their conduct. Men more and more don't want to perceive themselves as being accountable to God, the theory of evolution conveniently fixes this problem. "they did not like to retain God in their knowledge," in their education. (Rom.1:28)" Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. PROFESSING THEMSELVES TO BE WISE, THEY BECAME FOOLS!" (Rom.1:21,22) They got so smart they could do without God and the Bible, and so they became what?--FOOLS! Absolute fools, who "changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. ... Who changed the truth of God into a LIE, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator!" (Rom.1:23,25)

SOME THEOLOGIANS AND CHURCHES HAVE SOUGHT TO RECONCILE EVOLUTION WITH CREATION, BY SAYING THAT GOD USED THE EVOLUTION PROCESS TO CREATE LIFE. Theistic Evolutionscience of evolution. Many under this pressure sought ways to bring the Bible into harmony with evolution. Some saw Theistic evolution as a tailor made solution to the problem. They supposed they could hold on to both their belief in God and the teachings of modern science. God used the process of evolution to create life seemed to be a good answer to Bible critics. However, this opened up a Pandora's Box of serious problems. Evolution needed millions of years in which to function; the Bible said God created the universe in only six days. The Bible said Adam and Eve were the first man and woman, yet evolution taught man descended from primitive apes! In time, some in the "Christian" community abandoned their belief in the creditably of the Bible. They began to teach the Bible was only true in spiritual matters, but was not reliable in matters of science. Others within the church embraced, The Gap Theory. Some have made an attempt to bring the Bible accordance with evolution by proposing the "Gap Theory." This theory teaches that between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 a great deal of time lapsed, probably millions of years, and all of evolution's geological ages can be placed there. To explain the fossils of prehistoric animals and men, which science said was positive proof of evolution, they came up with a theory that there existed a race of men and animals existing before the earth that we see now and before Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden. They associated this pre-existing earth with the rule and fall of Satan. This gave them a convenient explanation to the discoveries of science that contradicted the Scriptures. This view was made popular by C. I. Scofield, in the Scofield reference Bible. It was a poor and unnecessary compromise. There is no Biblical evidence or scientific evidence to support this idea. Genesis 2:1, states, "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them." There is no reason to believe that the heavens and earth spoken of here are a different heaven and earth than God originally created. |
For those of us who believe the Bible, there can be no compromise with evolution. According to the Bible, God placed in man a soul, which in essence makes man responsible and accountable before God. 7And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Gen 2:7. According to this verse, God placed within man a soul. To now say that man came to be, as a result of a long evolutionary process, and somewhere in the process of evolution, God came along and inadvertently placed within man a soul, is a very foolish notion. If the evolution process, is the origin of man, then the so called "soul" of man, as described in the Bible, is also the product of evolution. The theory of evolution, undermines, the very thing which most binds man to God, in the areas of responsibility and accountability (the soul God placed in man, is what makes man accoutable to God). With the theory of evolution, we cannot say when man became responsible and accountable to God (of if he even is). To say that man evolved into being who he is, is to in essence reduce the soul of man into nothing more than a biological accident. If man is the product of evolution, then that which constitute his soul, is also nothing more, than the product of the brain and nervous system and their processes, developed over time by the evolutionary process. When theologians accept the theory of evolution as the process used by the God to create man, they must be willing to go all the way with the theory of evolution, and the direction in which it leads. Not only is the evolution process described as a orderly process, it is defined as a continuing one. Therefore even though God finished his creation, according to evolution, nothing was finished on the alleged seventh day. Those who promote the theory of evolution, say that the process of creation is still going on. Moreover, the creative process of evolution is not to be interrupted by any supernatural intervention Evolution is essence does not complement God as creator, it does away with God as creator. |
