Creation Day 5

Genesis 1:20-23

20 And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” 21 So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.

In December, 1996, evolutionist and astronomer named Carl Sagan died. His perception was that life just sort of happened and he ended up his life with absolute emptiness – absolute hopelessness. And near the end of his life he was interviewed by Ted Koppel on television. Koppel asked, “Do you, sir, have any words of wisdom for the people of the world?” To which Sagan replied, “We live on a hunk of rock and metal that circles a humdrum star that is one of 400-plus-billion other stars that make up the Milky Way galaxy, which is one of billions of other galaxies which make up a universe, which may be one of a large number – perhaps an infinite number – of other universes. That is well worth pondering.”

In the end, the most brilliant evolutionist only knows that the universe exists. He doesn’t know how, he doesn’t know why, and mostly he doesn’t know who the creator is. This is the place we find our own society now and dare I say many in the modern church aren’t far from this either.

1 The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is none who does good. 2 The Lord looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God. 3 They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one. (Psalm 14:1-3)

Everything in the universe points to God, the Creator. Even Albert Einstein said, “Of course there is a massive intelligence behind the universe. A man is a fool who doesn’t believe that,” and then went on to say, “But we could never know him.” The humanistic evolutionist refuses to see what is obvious, refuses to meet the God who wants to be known.

The realization that: 1. There is a God who created all we see and know. 2. He is present and active in the world today. 3. He created you in His own image. 4.He can be known by you and desires a personal relationship with you. The realization of these absolute truths completely transforms your outlook on life.

Now, over the past several weeks, I’ve told you there are countless evidences of creation and that the earth was created around 6,000 years ago instead of the billions of years purported by evolutionist. Today, I want to take a few minutes to add to those evidences of God’s marvelous creation:

Some birds navigate by the stars when migrating. In fact, birds raised from eggs inside a building where they have never seen the sky can orient themselves toward home when shown an artificial sky representing a place they’ve never been

Moths have two ears. There are mites who live in a moth’s ear. But interestingly enough, mites occupy only one ear of a moth. If mites get in both ears, the moth can’t fly.

The Bombardier beetle has two chemicals in his little body which mix perfectly and at the right moment combine outside the beetle’s body, they explode. However, the two chemicals that create an explosion outside the body, never combine prematurely to blow up the beetle. How would a beetle evolve those explosives and keep them separate?

there are an average of 1,800 storms in operation at any time, and that those 1,800 storms in operation at any time expend energy at the inconceivable figure of one billion, three hundred million horsepower.

Rain of four inches over an area of 10,000 square miles would require the burning of 640 million tons of coal to evaporate enough water for such a rain. And to cool again the vapors and collect them in clouds would take another 800 million horsepower of refrigeration working 24 hours a day for 100 days.

Some have estimated there are five billion birds in America. Mallards can fly 60 miles an hour, eagles can fly 100 miles an hour, and falcons can dive at 180 miles an hour.

Fossil frogs look the same as today’s frogs. Frogs would have died before the dinosaurs if there was a global impacts of an asteroid millions of years ago
