FAITH AND EVOLUTION

We live in an age of misinformation parading around as useful and true information. To the uninitiated, this is gospel truth because some Doctor of Philosophy said so. One thing that man hates more than anything else is that he is a finite creature. He wants desperately to be the captain of his own ship and the world besides. The very thought that something transcendent above his repulses him at each and every turn.

Origins are of the upmost importance. They help us to build upon a solid foundation. The Lord Jesus Christ said in Matthew 7:24-27, "Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it." A rock is a solid foundation. Sand shifts with every wind that blows by. This is why it is wise to believe that the Bible is the truth.

God’s word states emphatically in Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." This should settle it for us. God is transcendent above His creation. He created it but is also separate from it. Also, in the book of origins, Genesis, it is stated in Genesis 1:11-12, "And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 12And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good." Here is the eternal law of likes beget likes. This is what happens in reality.

Evolution is the opposite of the Bible. In fact, in every fact and detail they are diametrically opposed to each other with one exception where they are exactly alike in all respects.. Its law is based upon the premise of unlikes beget likes. They profess that life came from non-life. It is an amazing thing that we do not see anything resembling this in our day and time. We do, however, see that if we plant tomatoes, we get tomatoes. We are yet to see any example of non-life all of the sudden becoming life.

Everyone knows that origins are neither verifiable upon observation, nor repeatable as a scientific experiment. It happened before any of us existed. Therefore, we must take origins by faith. There is no other alternative. We as Christians accept Hebrews 11:3 by faith, "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." This is the Christian doctrine of "ex nihlo," that is God created everything out of nothing. We do not believe that matter is eternal, but only God Himself.

To put it a blunt as is possible, evolution is a religion that has to be believed the same way that Christianity and the creation are to be believed, by faith. Evolution essentially makes matter as eternal that is it is god, in their scheme of thinking. Paul wrote of these people in Romans 1:19-25, "Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed 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: 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. 24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen." In other words, evolutionists are creature worshipers rather than the Creator who is forever blessed. They believe in only what they can see. They are blind to the spiritual world and eternity.

They believe that the world is governed by chance rather than by God and His absolutes. They choose to live in a world of fantasy rather than reality. They wish that evolution was true. They accept evolution by faith. They are probably more religious than any Christian could ever attempt to be. They seek to justify themselves by their works rather than by God’s grace. They are very zealous to prove evolution, despite the facts to the contrariwise.

They are willing to believe lies rather than the truth. They cannot prove evolution, no matter how hard they try. God created the world out of nothing in six literal days i.e. 24 hour days. They same that everything came into existence billions of years ago, give or take a billion years. A billion here and billion there and pretty soon you have some big numbers. Recently, I heard that scientists believe that 11 million years ago, some creature was extinct that they have found to be very much alive. What amazes me is that they can say with such accuracy the time of extinction when no record of history existed at the time and so many people accept their word as gospel.

They are continually looking for the missing link, when they themselves are the missing link. It takes an absolute imbecile to believe evolution. It is totally unprovable and does not comport to the present world that we find ourselves in. Farmers have to believe in creation to accomplish their living. They know that God created the world as it presently is. Living in God’s world is the only true faith. While evolutionists believe in it their philosophy by faith, it is a false faith.
