Creation? Or Evolution?

As it becomes more difficult to be a believer in our country it becomes more imperative that we as believers know the truth and live the truth no matter how unpopular it is with the greater culture. The Evolution-Creation debate is one of these areas. Why; because the greater truth behind creationism is a foundation the Christian beliefs.

Contrary to the opinion of many believers creationism and evolution do not mix. They are contrary to one another. First creationism and evolution are not science, they are world views. They create a prism by which a person will view all other things in life, including science. Many evolutionary scientists would have you believe that they are unbiased in their research, but they come at the research with the bias of evolution, just as creation scientists will view science in a creation prism.

The reason a believer cannot examine science in the evolution world view is because it is contrary to scripture. Romans 5:12 “Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death, spread to all men, because all sinned.” It was the sin of Adam that brought death into this world. It would be an incorrect assumption to believe by death and evolving man came to be, it was man that brought death to this world.

Lastly, the evolution world view is a danger to man, because it teaches that through death and mutation creation is improving. This is dangerous because man in the world today believes he has become enlightened and the enlightened man has no need for God. Evolutionary teaching is wrong because it is contrary to life in a fallen world. When we are born we begin to die. Sin is growing in this world; therefore death and rot are growing. The only enlightenment we need is creation. Psalm 139:13 “For thou didst form my inward parts; thou didst weave me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are thy works, and my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from thee, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth. Thine eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in thy book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them.”
