LOOKING FOR A SOURCE OF TRUTH GENESIS 1:1-31 1In Creation of Light, Gustave Doré the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. JOHN 1:3 3All things were made by him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. COLOSSIANS 1:15-16 16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Biological evolution, simply put, is descent with modification. Through the process of descent with modification, the common ancestor of life on Earth gave rise to the fantastic diversity that we see documented in the fossil record and around us today. Evolution means that we're all distant cousins: humans and oak trees, hummingbirds and whales. - University of California, Berkley website IF CHANCE IS REALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL LIFE MATTHEW 10:30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. WHY AND HOW DO WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT FINGER PRINTS? “Animals give the appearance of having been designed by a theoretically sophisticated and practically ingenious physicist or engineer.” - Richard Dawinkins The Blind Watchmaker (New York: Norton, 1987), p. 36. All of these schools of thought seek to combine a belief in God and the Bible with the ideals of evolution and the millions of years 2 PETER 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. Read “The Danger of BioLogos: Blurring the Line Between Creation and Evolution” by John Upchurch at AnswersInGenesis.com A SPIRITUALLY DANGEROUS COMBINATION The concept of evolution is completely contradictory to the Genesis account of a literal six day creation. The two ideas are absolutely incompatible! • There is no scripture to support this idea • It completely undermines the authority of the Bible • The gospel is totally diluted by this compromise • It is based on the beliefs of atheist secular scientists • It suggests a resistance to accept, or a shame in believing, the inspired word of God “Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” - Mark 8:38 YES. BUT WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO? ROMANS 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. JOHN 3:16,18 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. THE TWO IDEAS ARE CATEGORICALLY AT ODDS WITH ONE ANOTHER GOD CREATES, 6,000 YRS, MAN SINS, DEATH ENTERS THE WORLD BIG BANG, BILLIONS OF YEARS, DEATH & SUFFERING, THEN MAN TO TRY AND BELIEVE IN BOTH IS TO NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT EITHER BELIEF IS TEACHING YES. BUT HONESTLY ASK YOURSELF THIS… IF I HONESTLY BELIEVE, IN MY • DoHEART, I believe IN what teaches about ALLtheOFBible THESE Jesus being born by a Virgin? BIBLICAL TRUTHS, WHY • Do I believe what the Bible teaches about WOULDN’T WHAT THE Jesus livingIaBELIEVE perfect life? • BIBLE Do I believe what the Bible teaches TEACHES ABOUT JESUS about Jesus dying on the cross for my sins? SPEAKING THEthe WORLD INTO about • Do I believe what Bible teaches Jesus resurrecting from the dead? EXISTENCE AND CREATING ALL LIVING CREATURES IN SIX DAYS? ECCLESIASTES 7:25 25 I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness: 1 JOHN 5:20 20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
