Evolution or Creation ... Which is Right?
What is Evolution?
The word evolution comes from the word “evolve.” The
dictionary defines evolve: to develop gradually (slowly); to unfold; by
natural process; to open out. Evolution means gradual unfolding or
developing; growth; the scientific theory according to which the higher
forms of life have gradually developed from simple and rudimentary
forms. Rudiment means beginning; germ; imperfectly developed; or formed
organs. An evolutionist is a person who accepts the evolutionary theory
of evolution. The evolutionary theory is a belief that man evolved from
a simple and beginning form of lower life. Evolution is a
scientific theory that man possibly could have evolved from a lower
animal form (as an ape or monkey). Evolution still remains an unproven
theory. Time periods are never stated exactly but evolutionists
use words as: possibly, perhaps, about, it could have been, maybe, it
is thought and approximately.
After hundreds of years, the basic source of evolution still remains
only in the mind and theories of man to explain the existence of life
without a Creator. An evolutionist denies creation and rejects
the Creator. Evolution presents the first man as a cave man. Well, men
have always lived in caves even until this day. Evolution presents
dinosaurs and large animals that no longer exist. The Bible states the
existence of several large animals which became extinct.
“Dinosaur” is a modern-day name given by Evolutionists, but
it is not the Bible name given by Adam. By the way, Noah did not need
to put full grown animals on the ark. Also evolutionists
continue to look for the missing link, and it is still missing.
What is Creation?
Creation is from the word “create.” The dictionary
defines create: to bring into existence out of nothing; to originate;
to make. The word “make” means to form things from things,
but create means to make things from nothing. Only God can create; man
can only make things from existing things. Creation was the act of
bringing the world into existence.
Creator means One (God) Who creates.
To believe in creation you must also believe in a Creator.
Without God there would be no beginning. The Bible is the
only source to find creation. The Bible does not defend or try to prove
creation. It simply states it as a fact, “God created.” The
creationist believes in a Creator who created life. A creationist
denies evolution.
Evolution vs Creation
Since evolution is “a theory” that states what could
have or might have happened, we do not have any proven evidence
to print concerning evolution, but we do have the Bible to prove
creation and disprove evolution. What does the Bible simply
teach?
Did Heaven and Earth Evolve? Bible: “In the beginning God
created (made from nothing) the heaven and the earth” (Genesis
1:1).
Did Day and Night Evolve? Bible: “And God saw the light, that it
was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called
the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and
the morning were the first day” (Genesis 1:4-5).
Did Land and Waters Evolve? Bible: “And God called the dry land
Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God
saw that it was good” (Genesis 1:10).
Did Grass, Trees, and Plant Life Evolve? Bible: “And God said,
Let the earth bring forth grass... and the fruit tree yielding
fruit...and God saw that it was good” (Genesis 1:10-11).
Did the Sun, Moon and Stars Evolve?” Bible: “And God made
two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser
light to rule the night: he made the stars also....and God saw that it
was good” (Genesis 1:16-18).
Did The Birds, Fish and Animals Evolve?
Bible: “And God created great whales, and every living creature
that moveth... and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that
it was good... And God made the beast of the earth ... cattle...and
every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw
that it was good” (Gen. 1:19-25).
Did Man and Woman Evolve? Bible: “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).
Bible Fact: God Created All Life. “And God saw every thing that
he had made... it was very good....the heavens and the earth were
finished...on the seventh day God ended his work. God rested on
the seventh day from all his work which he had made” (Genesis
1:31- 2:1-2).
God created all life. Without God there would be no life. God created
you with a living soul that will never die (Genesis 2:7). God created
Heaven and Hell. God created a way for you to go to Heaven (John 14:6;
John 3:16). You have the right to choose evolution (no God) or creation
(God). Choose creation and God!
