Colossians 1:15-20, Genesis 1:20-23
Evolution slide (progression of man not from ape to man based on science but based on watching as we try to get up and moving after a hard days work.)
Which came first the chicken or the egg? The question is a matter of identity for humanity. Are we the special creation of God or the fortunate masters of the universe by a random act?
The answer determines how we live. If we are a special creation then we have God to answer to. If not then we are free to do what we desire and want. The passage in Colossians tells us that God through Jesus has created us and through Him has done what is needed to redeem us from our sins. And He claims to have priority over our lives. If He created the world then we are under obligation to value life as He values life. If not then we are free to view all people through the lens of their value to society and our lives. Inconvenient then get rid of them. Socially, monetarily, ethically draining we can remove them because well survival of the fittest as long as it is ethically and socially acceptable remove them.
Struggles with the beginning:
How did it all get here? Something has to be eternal. Is matter eternal? If not then how did matter come to be that we might come to be? Something is eternal, either the creator, or creation. Something does not come from nothing unless you have a Creator who is overall.
Big Bang theory: (Special watch)
It just existed and came to be this way: (Special microphone)
Creation exhibits for us the reality of a special design. The intricacies of creation are too incredible for chance.
Romans 1:20 “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.”
F = Fossil Record: The fossil record does not support evolution, but does support creation of each animal after its kind. There are no transitional forms found in the fossil record. Dr. E. J. H. Corner of Cambridge University says, “to the unprejudiced, the fossil record of plants is in favor of special creation.” “Evolution in Contemporary Botanical Thought, eds. Anna M. Macleod and L.S. Cobley, Oliver and Boyd, for the Botanical Society of Edinburg, 1961, P. 97
“The evolutionary origin of birds is largely a matter of deduction. There is no fossil evidence of the stages through which the remarkable change from reptile to bird was achieved.” W.E. Swinton, “The Origin of Birds,” Chapter 1 in Biology and Comparative Physiology of Birds, A.J. Marshall, ed., Vol I (New York: Academic Press, 1960),p.1
But what about the fossils for early man?
A= Ape men Ape men have been proven each time to not be what they were initially considered. Consider Neanderthal man is now known to be human. Java-man, has been shown to be a fraud. They were average ape bones that had the teeth filed down and other special work done to them. Peking man was found in a cave along with some tools. At first we believed they were half monkey half man creatures that first used tools. After more study we know they were monkeys who had the tools used on them so people could eat their brains. Nebraska man was a great find that showed the missing link. Nebraska man was a tooth from an extinct pig. Lucy the famous little chimp/human cross has been proven to be a chimpanzee that had been injured thus the unique leg bones. The missing link is still missing.
C= Chance: The statistical probability of our universe forming as it is by chance is statistically impossible. Professor of Genetics at the University of Wisconsin James Crow writes: “…mutants would usually be detrimental. For a mutation is a random change of a highly organized reasonably smoothly functioning living body. A random change in the highly integrated system of chemical processes which constitute life is almost certain to impair it – just as a random interchange of connections in a television set is not likely to improve the picture.” James Crow, “Genetic Effects of Radiation” Bulletin of Atomic Sciences, 14 (1958) p 19-20
The evolutionist says billions of years were needed to develop our world. But is the universe billions of years old?
Evolutionists generally use five different methods in determining the age of matter: salt content in the oceans, deposition of sediments, rate of soil erosion, disintegration of radioactive materials, and Libby’s Carbon 14 experiment. Problems can be found with all of these methods the biggest problem is the method they ignore the study of half lives.
Consider the following information: The sun is continuously burning out at a rate of 5 feet per hour. This means that the sun would have been twice the size that it is now only 100,000 years ago! Only 20,000,000 years ago, the sun would have been so large that it would be touching the earth!
Interplanetary dust falls upon the earth at a rate of at least 14 million tons per year. Evolutionists claim that the planets are at least 4.5 billion years old. Meaning there should be a layer of space dust on the moon 500’ thick. However, less than three inches of dust were found.
The half-life of the earth’s magnetic field is believed to be less than 1400 years. 1400 years ago the earth’s magnetic field was twice as strong as it is today. 10,000 years ago the earth would have a magnetic field as strong as the sun! What it would have been like 4.5 billion years ago? © 1994 James L. Melton
It’s good chance it didn’t happen that way.
E=Empirical Science cannot be used to prove the theory of evolution. In fact many of the laws of the universe directly contradict what evolution teaches. C.S. Lewis said “In the whole history of the universe the laws of nature have never produced a single event. They are the pattern to which every event must conform, provided only that it can be induced to happen.” A billiard ball hitting another billiard ball follows the law of Physics, but those laws did not set the ball in motion; someone with a cue did. “The laws are the pattern to which events conform; the source of the events must be sought elsewhere.” “The Laws of Nature” in Undecptions: Essays on Theology and Ethics, ed. Walter Hooper (London: Geoffrey Bles, 1971) 53-54
In other words, the meaning of the universe can only be found outside of creation. Christians can have some understanding of its purposes only because of their knowledge in Christ, who is beyond creation yet within it.
Conclusion: The Bible says, God created the Chicken first not the egg and we can tell He created a mature universe from what He says at Creation; “be fruitful and multiply.” Only mature animals and humanity can do that. Reality is though we cannot prove either evolution or creation by scientific method. None of us were there and we are incapable of creating something from nothing and science has not been able to duplicate evolution either. The best we can do is see what exists and by faith make our choice. The issue is a matter of faith. Where do you place your faith? Is that faith in a loving God who created or in the by chance mutation of evolution?
