"Creation Or Evolution? Your Decision!” Series

Take one protein molecule. We know that one protein molecule has about 100 amino acids linked together; all in the right places. The mathematical probability of that happening is about the same as taking a man and blindfolding him, taking him to the Sahara Desert and asking him to find one grain of sand that you marked in advance. That just doesn’t happen. That takes an awful lot of faith to believe. Now I know that creation takes lot of faith to believe as well. Believing in God and the fact that He created all of this takes a lot of faith and that is exactly what we are called to … a walk of faith. But don’t think for a minute that science has all the answers. Listen, every human cell and there are 1 trillion of them by the way in your body … every one of those cells has a 6 ft strand of DNA that as much information stored on it as an entire set of encyclopedias to tell the cells how to build protein. Now for this to be random it would be like taking every letter of the alphabet, multiple letters and placing them in a box and throwing it all into the air and expecting it to come down and form a set of encyclopedias. It’s impossible.

Listen, the Bible is not a book of science. It’s not intended to be. But it is amazingly accurate. Many prophecies have already been fulfilled. Hundreds. More will be as time goes on. In the 1400’s a debate began as to whether the world was round or flat. Actually, it was hardly a debate. Only a few were convinced that the world was round. Everyone else said it was flat. After all, look around and what do you see? It looks flat. But Christopher Columbus said otherwise. He planned to set sail to what is now the very land we live in. People warned him that he would sail just so far and then he would reach the edge and fall over. Because it was flat. Galileo was ordered to turn himself in to authorities because he taught that the earth revolved around the sun. Which it does. The Catholic church said that thought was heresy. The church said that the earth is the center of the universe not the sun. But the church was wrong. This happens to be an area where if we would follow scripture we would have known the answer. Now as I said the Bible is not a science book but in the areas that science has actually proven, the bible does not disagree. In the OT book of Isaiah written about 3000 years ago ….. 2500 years before Columbus showed us that the world is round, Isaiah said, “It is He who sits above the circle of the earth.” Isaiah 40:22. There are statements made on both sides that seem reasonable. For me my faith is the answer. All of this simply could not have happened by coincidence.
