Creation vs. Evolution

How did we get here? This is an all-important question, isn't it? If we came about by chance, and there is no reason we are alive, how can it expected of anyone to behave themselves? But you and I didn't come about by chance. We were created in the image of God:

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. (Genesis 1:27)

The Biblical account of Creation says that God made everything in the universe in six days. This can be found in Genesis Chapter 1

However, the Evolutionary "account" says otherwise. It is purely a theory made up by men who do not wish to believe the Bible:

Billions of years ago, a dot smaller than this one here (.) was spinning around in nothing. Then somehow it exploded into our huge universe. The earth was a large mass of soupy rock until it finally cooled down a few billion years ago. From this soup some very primitive forms of life developed and slowly evolved into all the different forms of life that we now have today. Sometime in the future we will all evolve into more intelligent life forms. The End.

"Hey, just minute there, what do you mean by The End."

"Well it's a fairy tale isn't it?"

"No, what do you mean?"

"It sure sounds like one."

"Well, the educated scientists believe it, don't they?"

"Well, some of them do, but does make it right? And a lot them don't either."

"It's in all the science textbooks!"

"It sure is, but does that mean it should be? Why is it always stated as a fact when there is no proof? It's a religion the same as the Biblical account of creation is! But the Biblical account is not supported in the public schools. If they have to teach it, couldn't they teach both sides? If a judge were only given one side of a case, he wouldn't be able to make a fair decision would he?"

"Well, obviously not, what are you getting at?"

"How can the children decide for themselves if they only know one side?"

"They only need to know one if it's the right one."

"True, and now we're getting back to our point, but that depends heavily on the person's opinion who decides which is the right side."

"OK, but which is the right side?"

"Well, as I was getting at, each person needs to pick for himself which theory he wants to believe, and I certainly vouch for Creation!"

"Well I sure don't! I'll pick Evolution because I still think it's more scientific!"

"I don't think that's the reason why you don't want to believe Creation."

"What is it then, Smarty?"

"I think the reason is because you know that if an ALL POWERFUL GOD made you, he might have some laws or rules for you to follow. Then you would have to obey them, and people like to be their own boss; so people have to make different theories to brainwash themselves into thinking that there is no God."

"OK, now it seems logical that there must be a god, but many people believe in a god. So which god would it be that made the world?"

"Well I believe the Bible, and it says that there is just one God..."

"What makes you think the Bible is true?"

"Hundreds of prophesies with complete accuracy have been fulfilled. No other book has so correctly prophesied happenings hundreds of years before they are fulfilled! And often people that don't believe the Bible say that it's wrong because it says that there was a town or city in so- and- so a place and that town is not there. And then some archaeologist digs a few feet deeper and they find that town or city, and they find it exactly the way the Bible describes it. Now that's the word of God."

"Huh, I didn't know that!"

"Now let me ask you a question, What makes you think that the Bible isn't true?"

"Well, everybody talks like there isn't one bit true in the whole book, and when I was in university no one believed it. I guess it just seems so unscientific; I never really gave it much thought: Maybe it's kind of like you said earlier, that I wanted to be my own boss."

"While you give that some thought, I'll give you some more to think about. If there's no proof for Evolution, and no one has ever seen things evolve into other things * , then why would people believe it? Is it just to be your own boss? Is that it? And you know, there is only two options: each leading to a different place after you die: Satan, who will lead you to Hell; and God, who will take you to Heaven when you die, if you accept his son, Jesus, into your heart.

You don't want to go to Hell; it is an awful place often called the 'Lake of Fire' in the Bible. Is that where you want to spend Eternity? I hope not. You should want to go to Heaven to be with Jesus and God forever: where the streets are made of gold and there are trees that give all kinds of fruit. That should be where you want to spend Eternity!

You are serving either Satan, who is the Devil, or God; for the Bible says:

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:18)

* Other than changes, for example, we haven't seen an ape turn into a human, or a fish turn into a bird; Why, because this has never happened!
