| Creation vs. Evolution
Introduction Creation or fact or fiction The missing link theory Theory of Uniformatarianism Dinosaurs; their place in creation The wonder of creation The dating process: Carbon 13-14 Conclusion : Scriptural insights and review Introduction: With the advent of the 2nd century and dating back even to antiquity there has been many who have tried to discredit divine creationism, despite scientific and conclusive evidence to the contrary, though there are many views and opinions, the one that bears the most credibility is the one based on biblical and archeological facts (empirical, logical, and experiential ) not suspicion or speculation . Creation fact or fiction: Of the varying facts or evidences in support of creation the most conclusive is the creation itself! For creation in all it’s wonder and splendor, all it’s intricacies, and enormous probabilities, could only happen not by chance but rather by divine providence! “ In the beginning God created the Heavens and the earth” Genesis 1:1 We cannot and should not, must not accept false facts, ideologies, concepts, theologies or hypothesies for that is just what they are hypothesies! These hypothetical situations and beliefs, from the Pansperm theory, to the Cosmic bang theory, or even the Day age theory, for even the very Theory of evolution itself is a farce and a misnomer, for all of these call for a faith in man’s wisdom and even go beyond the bible to the absurd imagination of men, we do indeed make monkey’s of ourselves, if anything in the area of our intelligence. One by one mans false concepts and findings have been proven to be not only inconclusive but totally false and erroneous, as well as contrary to the LAWS of nature itself! Let us examine some of these trumped up theories that evolutionist dare to assume. The missing link hoax : The alleged missing link theory: Known as the missing link in the chain of man’s evolution, which was reputed to have been found on several occasions only to be disproved by facts and qualified experts from both sides of the fence. Now mind you that these so called missing links are one of the primary foundations of the evolutionary teachings, so much rest upon the truth and credibility of these findings! 1. Pilt down man; In 1912 Charles Dawson in Sussex, England found what he claimed to be the missing link. But in 1955 it was found that his so called archeological bones were really a doctored jaw and teeth of an orangutan, falsely constructed for the sole purpose of miss leading the public. He was consequently discredited and left the field of archeology. 2. Nebraska man: In 1942 Henry Osborn received from one Harold Cook a fossilized tooth alleged as part of the missing link chain, but was later found to be the remains of an extinct pig, after being examined by experts. 3. Java man: In 1891 Eugene Duboise while excavating was said to have found a skull cap which again was thought to be the missing link, However it was later found to be only the remains that of a large gibbon of some sort. 4. Peking man: Between 1920-1930 fragments of 30 skulls 11 lower jaws, and 147 teeth, all found 25 miles from Peking China by Davidson Black. This missing link was surrounded in much controversy and later the remains mysteriously disappeared removed from the public domain .. 5. Cro-Magnan Man: At Glover,Wales, and Aurignac, France skeletal remains were found resembling that of man, but their cranial capacity was much larger and greater than modern man, thus disproving the so called theory of Uniformatarianism of evolutionist (explained more thoroughly in the following paragraph) and rather bringing into account the second law of Thermodynamics (the law of universal decay) Another scientific fact which the evolutionary teachers often like to ignore. Now lets examine this theory for a moment according to science and evolutionist and we agree with them, this law saids man and things, including the elements are decaying and degenerating gradually! As time goes on he gets older and weaker, frail and more fragile, Indeed man and the earth itself is decaying and degenerating, but however according to their recent teachings and what is now termed new age wisdom or mysticism, Man and mother earth? are supposedly evolving? not degenerating, they now say man must evolve to the point of Godhood, where he realizes the god within himself, sounds like confusion to me, matter a fact sounds downright like blaspheme; I remember someone called Lucifer who tried teaching and claiming this once, and he‘s trying it again this time through the human race? Isaiah 14:10 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? 11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave.. 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. Genesis 3:4 And the serpent (Satan)said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. They can’t seem to make up their mind and are always changing the terms and meanings? So much inconsistency, so much irregularities yet folks still believe such foolishness. B. UNIFORMATARIANISM: The theory which claims that existing processes occurring at their present rate and manner are sufficient to explain geological history by studying the present processes, thereby arriving at an understanding of the earth’s past, thus the present is the key to the past? Another crucial foundation upon which evolutionary teachings rest on. In other words nothing changes and everything remains the same therefore they conclude that there is no evidence to support catastrophic events as foretold in the bible despite several scientific, geological and historical indications to the contrary, that they are unable to excuse or explain for instance: 1. There has been more sufficient data made available to disprove this false claim of Uniformatarianism, For instance the Columbia Plateau, some 100,000 square miles of lava flow an immense lava bed explainable only through a catastrophic volcanic event, hence this plateau was created not through a process of time but instantaneously. 2. Or take the Sevier Orogeny: In the shape of a belt composed of supposedly older rock strata super imposed on younger rock strata, covering an area of Nevada, Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming. The problem with this is that according to the theory of Uniformatarianism the younger rock should be super imposed on the older rock strata? Evolutionist have tried to explain this through what is termed as thrust faulting, but this is not probable nor conceivable on such a large scale as this, hence without a catastrophic event there is no explanation for this to occur. Thus all these archeological facts actually explain away the theory of Uniformatarianism. 3. Dinosaurs: Evolutionist have also been unable to explain the strange and sudden disappearance of dinosaurs which have only been found in the period of the Permain, Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous ages. But they disappeared suddenly at the end of the Cretaceous period this is not explainable through anything other than a catastrophic event. Hence Only explainable through the flood? which evolutionist prefer not to believe because it disproves many of their claims based on hypothesis not facts. It is debated in some circles that this species was not on board the Ark and therefore non existent after the flood due to the fact that they were a product of amalgamation (hybridization) and not created through God’s divine will and plan. They were therefore destroyed with sinful man if not by the flood then possibly by some meteorite impact. Now lets take a look at the creation itself and see what it proclaims in silent whispers. 1. Niagara falls: Just imagine the beauty and splendor, the intensity and power of It’s constant flowing waters, the unending, unceasing energy that is generated from its thermo logical process, could have no other author but God himself. It is not a man made project but a God ordained work of creation! not powered by man but established and ordained by Gods spoken word. 2. The Rainbow: with it’s prism beauty and awesome color displays, truly a symbol of Gods covenant with mankind and a byproduct of the hydrological eco process as established by God after the flood. “ and the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it ... and I will remember my everlasting covenant with thee “ Genesis 9:16 3. The Sunset and Sunrise: Who could not gaze upon the such a colorful exchange of morning and twilight observing the serene tranquility and not feel the power & presence of God behind it all. “the heavens declare the glory of God and the skies show his handiwork “ Psalms 19:1-2 Just imagine no matter where you go or what you see, all around us the whole creation boldly proclaims his wonder and care, love and providence, the clear blue skies, the tall green grass, the placid lakes, the soothing sound of soft running streams of water along the brook side, the sweet and aromatic fragrance of blooming flowers, birds and animals of varied types and sounds, yea even man himself more complex than a computer. Yes all such colorful experiences and sights that this world gives us, all that our eyes may behold the glory of God! No! not by chance nor through some cosmic bang theory but through divine inspiration and planning. 16 For 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: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. “ Through faith we know that the world was created by him. ”So we see he spoke the world into existence! according to Hebrews11:13, Colossians 1:16-17 & Genesis 1: yes ” in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Now lets take a look at another area that evolutionist base most their conclusions and facts on: Most of the statements and assumptions, hypothesies and conclusions that the expert evolutionist come to, are based on time specifics. In other words in order to add weight to their conclusions, and in order to mask their erroneous theories, they have to base and presume a great and large amount of time had to take place between certain events. Thus the method of time dating is critical to their credibility. But the problem here is that there is no credible and proven reliable method of dating artifacts or evidence per se, you can only assume a starting point? Case in point the primary and supposedly most reliable method used is the Carbon 13,C-14 dating process, Now herein is where this practice is seriously flawed; in order to establish a date for a certain event or thing, you have to know how much Carbon and oxygen was in the air at the time of fossilization or when the process of decay took place. (But since the carbon and oxygen is being used up at a varied and inconsistent rate we cannot scientifically nor specifically conclude the exact amount to date that was in the atmosphere) Now since we cannot go back in time we can only assume the amount that was in the atmosphere, thus making the results and experiments flawed or skewed, but this is the only way they can get the millions of years needed in order to cover their mistakes and explain the unexplainables. So the evidence has been presented now you become the expert make your conclusions count. Evolution fact or fiction, fraud or faith.. Conclusion: Now lets review and examine some scriptures regarding creation As we concluded earlier man has claimed many a time to have found the so called missing link? the transitional form? from the monkey to a man, the lizard to a monkey, and the ameba to a lizard, yeah it sounds crazy huh? but that’s their theory despite the fact that every supposable finding of the alleged missing link has been disproved and discredited yet they still claim there is a missing link (transitional form) between man and animal, yet the bible says: And God created .. every living creature .. after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:21 The word after their kind medically and molecularly speaking means genetic purity thus there is no such thing as a transitional form, or missing link, the so called half-breed, a half man half monkey etc. For there was not and is not interbreeding between man and a monkey, a lizard and a monkey and etc. etc. In order to evolve as evolutionist claim from one link to the next you must have interbreeding take place between the species. Now common sense and Gods word lets us to know that this doesn’t happen. ( just try to get a cat and a dog together to make babies) And as for those infamous vestigial organs they too have been found to have a purpose and function and are not organs left over from another form or nature how ridiculous an assumption. Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, Evolution seems to take more faith to believe in it than it does to believe in God’s act of divine creation, It is becoming more apparent that something is wrong with the evolutionary apparatus even in high academic circles it is being discredited and disproved through science itself. And most evolutionary teachers and science professors are now changing their numbers, facts and materials in hopes that no one will take notice! They hope that others will not notice what is clearly observable to the eyes, Hence when we examine the facts, view the wonders, feel the powers, we can’t help but come to an awareness that this world cannot possibly be by chance? not coincidence, but by divine authority and ability, yet despite the evident facts and experiences some choose to reject and deny the divine, for the Atheist himself which denies the existence of God fights nail and tooth to disprove what he claims not to believe in, he curses the God whom he says does not exist, he constantly looks for opportunities to belittle those who believe in God as if to add credibility to his disbelief or could it be to sooth his guilty conscience? for someone who does not believe in God they sure spend a lot of time arguing and fighting about him. For the Agnostic who claims that God has no desire to relate to us as humans, yet in time of need like the Atheist they too cry out to him, they study about him, fight over him, and even acknowledge him without knowing it, think about it in the time of distress, despair, emergencies, sickness or death they cry out O God! or Jesus! why is it? because within us we have an innate desire to relate to God, we do not have to be taught this it comes naturally, it is within our nature to cry out to the God that created us, that’s why in time of need we automatically call on him, because inside of mankind there is a knowledge of God’s sovereignty and power or else why would we call on him? Look at the very name A theist the very name Theist means a belief in a god but not an awareness of who he is or what form he exist in, yet they claim no belief in God but they call themselves by a name that signifies belief in a god, talk about confused, for a God who wants nothing to do with mankind clearly we have received so much providence and protection, blessing and goodness from him, just think about it the very air we breathe and take for granted is a gift from God, the ground we walk on is stable only because of his divine decree, the fact that we are clothed and fed daily is proof of a God who cares! I know you probably want some scripture to back that! so lets look in Isaiah “ .. now thus saith the LORD that created thee.. and he that formed thee, 42:5 5 Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit (life) to them that walk therein: Hey your not in a hospital dying huh? your not in some third world starving are you? you haven’t been brutally raped have you? you have a job don’t you? you have friends and family who love you? hey You know what even if any of these events were to overcome you, you still have hope! healing! deliverance! God! for He is! the I am! “ In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God” “ and “ in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” “ the fool hath said in his heart that there is no God “ Prepared By : Rev.
