Did We Evolve from Apes?

When one considers our beginning most people think of either one of two things, either we were made by our Creator, which the Bible states in the book of Genesis or man came by random chance, which is what the theory of evolution states. For those of us who seek truth there can only be one answer. Both of these theories cannot coexist or merge and be correct. But how does one determine which is correct?


Let us approach this from the place of reason. First let us examine who God says He is. In John 14:6 Jesus Christ says the following, "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man comes to the Father but through Me." What Christ is saying here is that all Truth resides in Him. If Christ is God as He claims, then God is Truth. Anything outside of what God proclaims to be truth, has to be a lie. The Bible declares in John 8:44 that the devil is the father of lies. Now if God states that He creates us, then either He is telling the truth or He is lying. Now if God is lying to us, then He has just corrupted Himself and He cannot be God anymore because He just went against His nature, which is Truth.


Thus, if the creation story is based in Truth, which I believe it is, then evolution and its belief in it has to be based on a lie. The Bible also declares that, "where light is, darkness can not be." Thus the two theories of creationism and evolution cannot co-exist or be merged together as some in the Christian community has done. With this being said, did we evolve from apes? The answer is a resounding, "NO!"
