The battle between Evolution and Creationism Heats Up

During this past week the birthday of Darwin was celebrated and it drew attention to the creation evolution debate as a result. My own personal journey on this as changed over the years as I have considered what science and the Bible have to say about the topic of how did we come to be.

After making Jesus Christ my personal savior and Lord of my life I had a most difficult time understanding how science and the Bible could co-exist. I was someone who thought that evolution and creationism could be the one and the same. However that began to change when a friend of mine named Keith was able to give me some creation material from a group called ICR( International Creation Research). The material spoke from a scientific point of view, but was using the Bible as it basis. It was through this time that I began to change my thinking to the place where I believed that creationism and a young earth theory is the correct one.

I know that many Christians out there are confused by this topic and have many questions that plague their thoughts as this topic once again comes to the forefront. I believe that it is the time for Christians to stand up and not back down off of what we believe. The article that I have linked to at the bottom of this post shows how Christians are fighting back. If we are wanting to change our society and the culture we live in, we must engage it at the foundation. The foundation of our culture belief in truth has been wrecked by this attack by the religion of Evolution. People are confused about topics like marriage, life issues like abortion and euthanasia. This is because our belief in absolute truth has been damaged. The christian has the truth, because Jesus Himself declared himself to be it (John 14:6). It is time for us to speak out and demonstrate to the world why He, Christ, is the only way. Church don't sit on the sidelines any longer. Let us be salt and light in a world that needs it more than ever.

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!"
