Why We Believe The
Creation Story Rather than Evolution/Life Sciences
Belief in the Biblical account of where we came from, who we are, and where
we are going is a safer approach than a faith in evolution which hopes--dearly
hopes--that there is no God and won't be any Hell.
Think of it. What if a person lives a life according to Christian principles
and then it turns out that evolution was right? That at death there is nothing
but blackness--an end to sensation and no further existence?
That person will still have lived a life with a feeling of fulfillment that
the atheist and agnostic will not have had. He will under almost all circumstances
have lived a life free from sexually transmitted diseases, substance addictions,
materialism, and prolonged conflict. Maybe he will have missed out on a few
cheap thrills, but for the most part, he will not have missed out on anything
of much importance.
But what if the Bible is right? Where will the atheist and agnostic be when
he wakes up on the other side of death's veil? Several scriptures immediately
come to bear:
- 2Co 5:10 "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ,
so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body,
whether good or evil.
- 2Th 1:5"This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you
may be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are also suffering--
1:6 since indeed God considers it just to repay with affliction those
who afflict you, 1:7 and to grant relief to you who are afflicted as well
as to us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels
1:8 in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God
and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 1:9 They will
suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the
Lord and from the glory of his might, 1:10 when he comes on that day to
be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at among all who have believed,
because our testimony to you was believed."
- Mar 16:16 "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he
that disbelieveth shall be condemned."
- Rev 20:10 "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake
of fire and brimstone, where are also the beast and the false prophet; and
they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat upon it, from whose
face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for
them.
20:12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the
throne; and books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book
of life: and the dead were judged out of the things which were written in
the books, according to their works.
20:13 And the sea gave up the dead that were in it; and death and Hades
gave up the dead that were in them: and they were judged every man according
to their works.
20:14 And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the
second death, even the lake of fire.
20:15 And if any was not found written in the book of life, he was cast
into the lake of fire."
- Hebrews 10: 31--"It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the
living God."
Clearly, this is something we don't want to get wrong.
There are two main reasons why we do not believe the biological evolutionary theory. One, it is in contradiction of the Bible (Genesis 1, all the places where God talks about nature reproducing after its own kind). The second reason is that evolution has to violate so many of its own laws to arrive at an evolutionary theory. It's bad science.
"It is ten trillion times more logical that calculators evolved and not life, becuase life is ten trillion times more complicated."--Josh.
Two fundamental laws of nature make a flat contradiction of biological evolution:
- Life springs only from life, and
- Like produces like. Evolution has never been able to find a "transitionary form" where a tomato plant is producing a pod of okra or a lizard is producing a bird.
To get to evolution, people have to ignore one or both of those laws.
