Man Has Twisted, Contorted, Inverted, And Opposed All God’s Creation – Part 3 – Genesis Chapter 1 Series
Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 4, 2023 (message contributor)
Summary: We take a serious look at how man using evolution has inverted and twisted God’s creation. Man sets up his own idols and worships them. Man was created in the image of God not the image of an ape or Neanderthal. We follow more of the inversion of Genesis and look at gender distortions.

MAN HAS TWISTED, CONTORTED, INVERTED, AND OPPOSED ALL GOD’S CREATION – PART 3 – GENESIS CHAPTER 1
We have been considering our present time to see that at the end of the Church age, more and more evil is overtaking the world. This growing explosion of wickedness is according to 2Timothy chapter 3 where evil men will proceed from bad to worse.
The bible is the most hated book in all the world because the growing wickedness seeks to destroy it. In the 1800s began the attack on God’s established order and especially on the truths of Genesis 1, so that evil men and women have overturned the precepts set down by God for man’s wellbeing. Satan seeks to destroy mankind and if he can’t do that then he will corrupt all man’s thinking and bring about ruin that way.
We looked at how creation is now inverted and twisted with the demonic theory of evolution being the hallmark of a fallen society. Parts 1 and 2 looked at 5 aspects of this inversion and this time we look at another important few of these satanic attacks on scripture.
Remember that I am using irony and sarcasm here and there. After the genesis reference the opposition and sarcasm is contained in inverted commas and [[ ]] and italics.
THE SIXTH MATTER
{{Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “LET US MAKE MAN in Our image according to OUR LIKENESS, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”}}
[[“NO. That can’t be true. We know God did not make man because he evolved from an ape like creature and became eventually Neanderthals and Denisovans (another supposed ancestor of human beings) that interbred with early, primitive homo sapiens and eventually we became modern man. Have you not heard of Lucy? Your bible is wrong.”]]
Ahh, so you dare to contradict God? You promote yourselves over the God of creation because you are running after the lie and refuse the truth. You who are evolutionists, who worship your god Darwin, believe you are improving all the time because of your superior intelligence. Isn’t it wonderful to know that evolutionists have all the reservoir of truth! At least it shows the conceited nature of evolution. In fact modern man with his superiority and pride has even twisted DNA for his own purposes. Look at this nonsense from an article titled “Evolution of Modern Humans” - [[“Neanderthal and Denisovan ancestors. This shared DNA could have shaped our individual susceptibility to modern-day diseases or adaptation to new environments and climates. Scientists have found nine Neanderthal genes in living humans known to be associated with susceptibility to conditions such as type 2 diabetes, lupus and Crohn’s disease.”]]
Now listen to the cries of horror and rage and idolatry that rise from the evolution camp. God created man in His own image but sinful man was not prepared to accept God as creator, so he set up a long line of his own creators. Some were made of stone, others of wood decorated with silver and gold. There you are. Wood and stone created man in their own image! They were the gods of men. Aren’t they so clever! That must be why evolutionists have wooden heads when it comes to spirituality, and hearts of stone when it comes to God. {{Romans 1:23 “and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for AN IMAGE IN THE FORM OF CORRUPTIBLE MAN, and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.”}}
I found it most interesting recently when reading Diognetus (written somewhere 100 – 200 AD) where the letter sets out the vanity of idols – [[“Come and contemplate, not with your eyes only, but with your understanding, the substance and the form of those whom you declare and deem to be gods.
Is not one of them a stone similar to that on which we tread? Is not a second brass, in no way superior to those vessels which are constructed for our ordinary use? Is not a third wood, and that already rotten? Is not a fourth silver, which needs a man to watch it, lest it be stolen? Is not a fifth iron, consumed by rust? Is not a sixth earthenware, in no degree more valuable than that which is formed for the humblest purposes?
Are not all these of corruptible matter? Are they not fabricated by means of iron and fire? Did not the sculptor fashion one of them, the brazier a second, the silversmith a third, and the potter a fourth? Was not every one of them, before they were formed by the arts of these [workmen] into the shape of these [gods], each in its own way subject to change? Would not those things which are now vessels, formed of the same materials, become like to such, if they met with the same artificers? Might not these, which are now worshipped by you, again be made by men vessels similar to others? Are they not all deaf? Are they not blind? Are they not without life? Are they not destitute of feeling? Are they not incapable of motion? Are they not all prone to decay? Are they not all corruptible?”]]
