EVOLUTION 

OR

CREATION

My wife and I do not watch the news, unless very occasionally there is something of major significance at a local, national or international level.

    But we do borrows DVD's regularly from the local branch of the State Library. Over the years, we have watched many nature videos such as those presented by David Attenborough for the BBC, and also an excellently produced series from National Geographic called The Untamed Americas. Some of the photography in these programs is truly amazing. The amount of painstaking work in capturing some of the images of plants, animals and various events in nature are nothing short of incredible.

    However, we are constantly verbally assaulted and insulted on the vast majority of these video presentations by repeated statements presented as FACTS concerning the evolution of animal and plant species, to the point of apparently accurately defining the age frame of the evolutionary processes of such species. For example, a particular animal or insect or bird may be said to have evolved certain body characteristics over so many millions of years in order to survive or to successfully catch their prey or whatever. We do wonder how they managed to survive and to live productive lives during this process, WHILE they were evolving.

    Those who staunchly defend the theory of evolution to support the notion that we humans evolved from apes produce scientific evidence such as the fact that we share somewhere between 93% and 98.5%  of our DNA with chimpanzees, and maybe gorillas. INTERESTINGLY, however, did you know that we also share about 50% of our DNA with BANANAS? It's apparently true. Maybe that explains why some of us have a certain bent! 😜

    In Genesis, chapter 1, in the very first book of the Bible, we see God's creation plan for planet Earth taking shape. The Word of God says that plants - vegetation, seed-bearing plants and trees, living sea creatures, winged birds, land animals, livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals were created - EACH ACCORDING TO ITS KIND!! God uniquely designed and created every plant, tree, fish, bird, insect and animal to be able to live and multiply in its given environment.

    God's crowning glory of CREATION  was to create MAN or MANKIND, beings with similarities to many animals in physical structure, for example, we share many of the same kinds of body organs as many animals. HOWEVER, Genesis 1:26 reads: Then God said, Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.

    Evolutionary scientists and atheists are often mocking of Christians and Jews for believing literally the Bible account of Creation. Creationists and so-called Intelligent Design proponents are derided as presenting arguments which fly in the face of scientific evidence. How much of that EVIDENCE is really proven fact or just the product of a very clever ongoing campaign to keep the Creator God out of the picture? After all, if evolutionary supporters were to remotely consider the thought of a Creator God, they might have to also consider the fact that they are individually accountable to such a Creator.

    Romans 1:18-20 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood by what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
