EVOLUTION: A FAIRY TALE FOR ADULTS
Questions People Ask
We need to know what we believe and why we believe it.
Take all the questions people in the world have, and they all boil down to one question… “Did God create man, or did man create God?”
In other words, “Is man created in the image of God, or is God created in the imagination of man?”
I Tim. 6:20
“science falsely so called”
Evolution: It’s really not science at all, it’s a philosophy, just as creationism is.
A creationist believes it just the way the Bible says it…God created all that is in 6 days.
Unfortunately, many Christians today are feeling the need to rectify the Bible w/ evolutionism. They think it’s possible to mix the two. “Theistic Evolution” is the name of that philosophy, and it’s dangerous!
They say, perhaps the 6 days of creation are not literal days. Maybe, since with God a day is like 1,000 years, maybe those days are really ages thru which things evolved.
Why do they think that? Well, because, after all, they’ve proven it…I mean, they date fossils and rocks and they find that they’re millions of years old!
Recognize one of Satan’s chief tactics in the lives of believers, compromise! Mix truth with error. He doesn’t mind you believing God started it all as long as you swallow the lie along with it. “Well, Satan says, I’m not gonna convince them there’s no God, so I’ll just get them to think that man is getting better and better, and eventually, they won’t need God!”
Take music: Satan knows that he can’t get some Christians to listen to worldly styles of music so he says, OK, I’ll compromise w/ you. I’ll clean up the words if you’ll still listen to the music. CCM
So, some believers (and/or professing believers) are buying into the
“day-age theory”. The problem is, it’s not Biblical!
1. Testimony of Language
Heb. “yom” means “one literal 24 hour period of time”.
“olam” is also trans. “day” and means an indefinite period of time… “in his day,” etc. That’s not the word used in Gen. 1.
Six times in Gen. 1 the phrase is used: “the evening and the morning” were the first day, etc. How clear can it be?
With simple faith in God’s Word, I believe that God created all that is in 6 literal days.
2. Testimony of Genealogies
Chapters 5-11 of Gen. The genealogies go back approx. 6,000 years.
If Evolution is correct and man is even 1 million years old, then you are forced to allow for a 50,000 year life span between each name in these chapters. That’s not reasonable.
With simple faith in God’s Word, I believe that God created all that is in 6 literal days.
3. Testimony of God
On Mt. Sinai. Ex. 20, God is giving Moses the 10 commandments. In commandment 4 God says, “remember the sabbath and keep it holy”. Obviously the sabbath is a 24 hour period of time which comes around once every week.
Ex. 20:11, “for in 6 days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea and all that in them is, and rested on the 7th day, wherefore, the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.”
With simple faith in God’s Word, I believe that God created all that is in 6 literal days.
That’s what the Bible says, now what does Darwinian Evolution say?
The Origin of Species, p. 523
“analogy would lead me to believe that all animals and plants are descended from some prototype. All organisms start from a common origin, from such low and intermediate forms, both animals and plants may have been developed. All organic things that have ever lived on the earth, may be descended from one primoidial form.”
He goes on at length to describe that billions of years ago there was a primitive protozoa, we don’t know where it came from. It became an unsegmented worm, which somehow eventually became a fish, and after eons of time go by, it somehow became an amphibian, which became a reptile, then a bird, then a mammal, which has evolved to monkeys, and eventually, man.
It is a fairy tale for adults.
The evolutionist believes that nothing + time + chance = everything!
“Frog becomes a prince” (headline) In the nursery, that’s a fairy tale, but in the classroom they call it science.
It’s not taught as a theory or a philosophy, it’s taught as a fact!
Time-Life books series, “The emergence of man”
Advertisement for the series: “today that creature that once began to raise himself above other animals no longer exists. He has become you. Unique and set apart from the 2 million other species living on the planet, by a thumb, which makes your hand a precision tool. By a knee, which locks you into a comfortable, upright position. By your capacity for abstract thought and speech. All this and more has enabled your species to dominate the earth. And yet, you share w/ every other creature that ever lived the same origin, the same origin, the same accident, that led to spontaneous generation of the first celled slimy algae that first appeared 3.5 billion years ago.”
Notice that w/ no stuttering, stammering, and no question about it, they say, this is how it happened, kids.
Kids, you are just an animal with thumbs, you are just an accident. No wonder they act the way they do today. The value of life is gone.
In 1963 the Bible was thrown out of public schools, and evolutionism was left to stand alone.
Teenage pregnancy has gone up 553%
STD’s has gone up 226%
Crime is up over 300% Is there a connection?
Going back to the Time-Life advertisement, it continues,
“how did it all happen? What was the evolutionary process which led man to his conquest of the harsh and hostile environment? You’ll find the amazing story in our new series, “The emergence of man.” Your introductory volume, “the missing link” shows the stranger than science-fiction world of the ape-man. You’ll feel a sense of immediacy, in visual venture. In incredible, life-like, pictorial, technical photo-painting.”
(figment of someone’s imagination)
If it were not for drawings and plaster-of-paris, evolution would die overnight! It’s all they have!
It’s not a fact, it’s faith…a whole lot of faith! (ill.—boy’s science project
Solar system, big bang!)
Ours is a reasonable faith!
3 reasons to reject Evolution:
1. Logical Reasons (intellectual reasons)
I’m not a scientist, and you don’t have to be a scientist to reject the theory of evolution. You don’t even have to be a Christian! Many non-Christian scientists have turned away and are turning away citing “no evidence.”
Dr. Newton Tomasian, scientist for the atomic energy commission,
“scientists that go about teaching that evolution is a fact of life are great con men, and the story they are telling may be the greatest hoax ever. In explaining evolution, we do not have one iota of fact.”
Dr. Ethridge of the British museum, “9/10th’s of the theory of evolution is sheer nonsense, not founded on observation, and wholly unsupported by fact. This museum is full of proofs of the utter falsity of the view.”
Sir Ambrose Fleming, president of the philosophical society, “the evolutionary theory is purely the product of the imagination.”
Dr. Cecil Wakely, a leading British surgeon, and late president of the Royal College of Surgeons, “when I was a medical student, I was taught the theory of evolution. I never believed it.”
Soren Luthrup, a renowned Swedish embryologist, “I believe that one day the Darwinian myth will be ranked as the greatest deceit in the history of science. When this happens, many people will pose the question, how did this ever happen?”
These are brilliant, honored men who are known to reject evolution. These men are unbelievers, as well. You don’t have to put your brain on the shelf to reject evolution.
Some creationists who were scientists include: Michael Faraday, Lord Kelvin, Joseph Lister, Louis Pasteur, Sir Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler, Sir William Ramsey, Lord Francis Bacon, Samuel Morse”. These were great scientists.
More recently, Carl Young, Max Planck, Robert Jastro, founder of Nasa’s Goddard institute of space study. Is this a list of fools?
By the way, when a scientist says he believes in the Bible, he doesn’t give me more faith in the Bible, that’s not the point! It gives me more faith in the scientist!
We don’t need science to prop up the Bible.
Sir Isaac Newton, “this most beautiful system of sun, plantets and comets could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful being.”
3 Bridges no evolutionist can cross: (have no answer)
1. Origin of life (where did that 1st amoeba come from?)
A bolt of lightning hit a puddle of scum and voila, life.
Dr. George Walt, professor emeritus of biology at Harvard Univ., who in ’71 won the nobel prize in biology.
He wrote in a magazine, “scientific america”,
“there are only 2 possibilities about how life arose. One is spontaneous generation, arising to evolution, the other is a supernatural creative act of God. There is no 3rd possibility. Spontaneous generation, the belief that life arose from non-living matter, was scientifically disproved 120 years ago by Louis Pasteur, among others. That leaves us w/ only one other possible conclusion, that life arose as a supernatural creative act of God…”
so far so good, right, well, don’t get too excited, here’s the rest of what he said…
“…I will not accept Creation philosophically because I do not want to believe in God. Therefore, I choose to believe in that which I know to be scientifically impossible, spontaneous generation.”
How’s that for science?
Evolution is indeed a philosophy, a bias, the next-best guess of a mind that chooses to reject God.
Sir Arthur Keith, an evolutionist, said, “The only alternative to evolution is special creation by God, and that is unthinkable.”
Scientist D.S. Watson, “evolution is a theory universally accepted not because it can be proven by logical, coherent evidence, but because the only alternative is special creation, and that is clearly incredible.”
He chooses not to believe in God, and takes the next-best guess.
2nd bridge no evolutionist can cross:
2. Fixity of the species
Gen. 1:11-12—“And God said, let the earth bring forth grass, and herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself…”
That term, “after his kind” is used 10 times in the creation story.
It’s the fixity of the species. It’s why you can cross-breed roses for hundreds of years and get all different colors, but you’ll never get a puppy.
Joke—man took his brother to psychiatrist, “he thinks he’s a dog”
“how long has he thought that?”… “ever since he was a puppy!”
Scientists have subjected fruit-flies to some unimaginable testing and mutation, and they’ve come up w/ some weird looking fruit flies w/ 9 eyes and such, but every result is some form of fruit fly!
You’ve heard of the Abaloney, a mollusk that lives off of the west coast. Once a scientist tried to cross the abaloney w/ a crocodile. If successful, he was gonna call it an abodile, but all he wound up w/ was a crock of baloney!
They have no transitional forms…in other words, this snail became this frog, but there’s no fossils of one in transition. This amoeba became this astronaut, but there’s no fossils in transition.
They’re not looking for a missing link…the whole chain is missing!
Smithsonian biologist, “there is no evidence that would show man developing step by step from lower forms of life. There is nothing to show that man was ever in any way connected w/ the monkeys. Man appeared suddenly and substantially in the form he is in today. There are no such things as missing links so far as concerning the major groups of animals, the creationists appear to have the best argument.”
3rd bridge no evolutionist can cross…
3. 2nd law of thermodynamics
simply says that energy can never be destroyed, but it becomes less available for further work as it unravels.
In other words, the universe is like a wound up clock that is slowly running down. Everything tends to run down and wear out. Even our sun, they admit, will eventually burn out.
A plot of weeds left alone will never become a golf course…but a golf course left alone will likely become a plot of weeds.
Pile of bricks/home
Curse of sin…all is marked by death and disintegration.
Rom. 8… “the whole creation groaneth, waiting for the day of redemption.”
Evolutionist says things are moving upward, getting better…from disorganization toward organization…time itself performs the miracle.
2nd law of thermodynamics says, “impossible.”
Disassemble a 2002 cadillac. Drop the parts from a 747 from 10,000 feet, will they come together again?
Evolutionist: “give it time, it takes a lot of time”
Ok, drop it from 20,000 feet, 30,000?
News flash, the more time you give it the more disorganized it will be!
Evolutionist: we started in darkness and end up in light, with only a boost from beneath.
Creationist: we started in light, plunged into darkness, and need a birth from above!
