The majority of scientist and biology teachers say the Universe came about from nothing, accidentally by random chance that everything evolved from a Big Bang and God was not involved. They insist that Evolution is more than a theory: it is a fact! Their authority comes from their having earned a PhD in some scientific field, which gives them a superior ability to make determinations.
The Creationist say that God created the Universe in 6 days and that He created everything there is; nothing exists that He didn’t make. Their authority comes from the BIBLE. You just read what it says. No spin, no interpretation needed, no seminary training nor theological degrees required.
We need to consider our human limitations. From our present position can we really know how something began about 6,000 years ago, as the Creationist would say, or billions of years ago according to the Evolutionist?
We are talking about our origins, how it all came about. Nobody was there as an eyewitness. There was one exception. According to the BIBLE Adam was created after the animals and he was a participant in seeing God bring forth a woman. Consider this was 6,000 years ago with a participating witness. Evolution progressed billions of years before the animal(s) evolved into man.
The Evolution side first. They have to admit that the ‘scientific experiment’ is not applicable to explain an advent that occurred billions of years ago. They can speculate that certain pools of something was struck by lighting and that began it all. But no experiment exists that can falsify or prove it. They have a number of theories: The Big Bang Theory, The Oscillating Universe Theory, The Static Universe Theory, The Steady State Theory, The Plasma Theory and the Cyclic Theory. Take your pick!
In Fred Heeren’s SHOW ME GOD it states, “Our solar system formed about 4.6 billion years ago, a date arrived at through isotope dating of lunar rocks and meteorites.” Does it seem reasonable that a rock can reveal this time frame? This sounds like ‘science fiction.’
The Creationist has only the BIBLE for his ‘facts’. The BIBLE tell us “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.” It also says “that truth about God is known to them instinctively; God has put this knowledge in their hearts. From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see His invisible qualities- His eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God.”
Albert Einstein said- “the harmony of natural law reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and activity of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection.” I believe that is exactly what the evolutionist is doing, uttering insignificant reflections and corrupting science in the process.
A recent article in the Wall Street Journal was describing how the world’s leading climate scientists were working in tandem to block freedom of information requests, blackballing dissenting scientist, manipulating the peer-review process and obscuring, destroying or massaging inconvenient temperature data that doesn’t support global warming. This is the near perfect description of the methods of evolutionary scientist. Their careers and funding are dependent on the acceptance of the evolutionary theory. The majority of people don’t accept it, it is unbelievable!
Of course, you have people who don’t believe the BIBLE and reject God. Creationism is unbelievable to them.
God said we were created in His own image. The evolutionist says we evolved from the monkey or some common ancestor.
The creationist says that after 150 years of searching there are no transitional fossils found; the evolutionist says yes there are.
The creationist says the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics disproves evolution, the evolutionist says no it doesn’t.
We, and they will never agree. It all boils down to do you believe in God or don’t you.
The BIBLE tells us ‘we know that there is only one God, the Father, who created everything, and we exist for Him. And there is only one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom God made everything and through whom we have been given life.”
You have the Christian who believes in God, the Creator.
The evolutionist doesn’t believe in God, he is an atheist as are the leading spokesmen for evolution. (Darwin, Huxley, Gould, Sagan, Hawkins and Dawkins)
In speaking of those who oppose the cross of Christ, God says, “I will destroy human wisdom and discard their most brilliant ideas.” The scripture continues-“So where does this leave the philosophers, the scholars and the world’s brilliant debaters? God has made them all look foolish and has shown their wisdom to be useless nonsense.”
“Useless nonsense”, a very good description of the “Theory of Evolution”
