Evolution Vs Biblical Creation

This document discusses the debate between evolution and biblical creation. It presents arguments against evolution and in favor of biblical creation. The key points made are: 1) There are only two possible explanations for how life arose - spontaneous generation or supernatural creation by God. 2) The theory of evolution contradicts established scientific laws like the law of biogenesis and the second law of thermodynamics. 3) The fossil record provides no evidence of transitional forms and instead shows examples of rapid burial consistent with the biblical flood. 4) A literal reading of Genesis indicates the days of creation were 24-hour periods, and dinosaurs could have coexisted with humans in early history.

Evolution

vs

Biblical Creation
Why should we care?

Is this really important?


1 Peter 3:15 “But sanctify the Lord
God in your hearts: and be ready
always to give an answer to every
man that asketh you a reason of
the hope that is in you with
meekness and fear.”
George Wald,
Professor Emeritus of Harvard
University and Nobel Prize Winner
 Only 2 Choices of how life arose

1. Spontaneous Generation from non-


living matter

2. Supernatural Creation by God


Spontaneous Generation
 Men and Women are just animals like
every other animal
 If we are all just animals, we are free to
live like all other animals
 No concern for any life but our own
Creation by God
 Genesis 2:7- And the LORD God formed man
[of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his
nostrils the breath of life; and man became a
living soul.
 Genesis 2:19- And out of the ground the LORD
God formed every beast of the field, and every
fowl of the air; and brought [them] unto Adam to
see what he would call them: and whatsoever
Adam called every living creature, that [was] the
name thereof.
How do we refute Evolution?
 ALWAYS use the Bible
 Never debate by science alone
 66 books
 40 different authors
 Written over a 1500 year period
 3 Different languages (Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic)
 3 Different continents
Why Should we Always use the
Bible?
 Basis of which our faith stands
 Holds all of the answers in life
Evolutionists and Faith only Debate
 Evolutionist will point out that Christians
go on faith alone
 Truth is everyone has faith in something
 Evolutionists have faith in a philosophy
that is unsubstantiated, contrary to what
can be proven in a scientific world
Evolutionary History
Established religious belief at the
heart of the occult before the
Greeks gave it “scientific” status
Goal- Journey through endless
reincarnation until union with the
Universal Mind, or All, has once
again been achieved.
W.L. Wilmhurst, Masonic Authority,
Declares in The Meaning of Masonry
This- the evolution of man into superman- was always the
purpose of the ancient mysteries (occultisms)…..Man, who
has sprung from the earth and developed through the lower
kingdoms of nature, to his present rational state, has yet to
complete his evolution by becoming a god-like being and
unifying his conscience with the Omniscient.

Notice: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism and witchcraft all hold


evolution as a core belief and the theories of reincarnation
and karma play key roles in this evolutionary belief system.
Charles Darwin

Theorized the first scientific view of evolution


accepted by man in his book, The Origin of
Species By Means of Natural Selection, or the
Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle
for Life

1859
Darwin’s book is hardly ever
published with its entire original
name. Almost always published as
only The Origin of the Species

RACIST MAYBE?
Roman Catholic Church
 Accepts Darwin's teachings on Evolution
 Evolution is “scientific”, and the Bible is
not infallible when it comes to science.
Decree made by Pope Pious XII and
upheld by Pope John Paul II in 1996
 Evolution taught in Catholic Schools
 This is how the false philosophy of
evolution has permeated “Christian” belief
systems
Modern Day Evolution

Defined As: All of today’s living organisms,


including humans, are the product of descent
with modification from common ancestors
and ultimately in all likelihood from a single
microorganism that itself evolved from non-
living chemicals.
Two Types of Evolution
 Macroevolution
 Microevolution
Macroevolution

Defined As: Major changes that caused


the appearance of new life-forms
(species)

Vertical Evolution
Microevolution
Defined As: Accumulation of tiny mutations
through Natural Selection of individual
organisms.

Horizontal or Linear Evolution


Naturalism (Three Types)
 Ontological Naturalism - World consists of
nothing but material particles in motion
and no God exists.
 Methodological Naturalism – Committing
to the belief in a set of methods of natural
sciences that determine how the world
works. (Maybe a god exists.)
 Metaphysical Naturalism – Belief that
nature is all that exists.
Law of Biogenesis
 Proven Scientific Law that states – Life
only rises from life.
George Wald of Harvard
 1860 – Louis Pasteur (Father of Modern
Day Biology) Disproved life could arise
from non-living matter. Scientific America
 “ One has only to contemplate the
magnitude of this task to concede that the
spontaneous generation of a living
organism is impossible.” Life: Origin and
Evolution
Second Law of Thermodynamics
(Entropy)
 Proven scientific law that states – All
kinetic energy in the universe is in a
process of running down. Organization
and Complexity is descending into
Disorganization and Chaos.
 Evolution contradicts this law by stating
everything starts Disorganized and
ascends to Organization.
Fossil Record
 Contrary to popular secular scientist belief
– not one transitional fossil has ever been
found. Darwin stated that for his theory to
be true, there must be millions of
transitional fossils.
Geological Column
 Breaks Earth’s “historical” eras down
 Dates the earth to be approximately 4.5
billion years old
 Must be supported by Darwin’s
Evolutionary Theory to make since
 Established by Charles Lyell, an attorney
in England who wanted to formulate a way
to disprove God existed
Geological Column
 Only five eras found in Grand Canyon and in
reverse order stated on Geological Column
 Oil rigs have drilled all over the world at a depth
of 5 miles each time and have never discovered
the geological column as demonstrated by
George Lyell
 This “fact” has only been disproved, yet is taught
as fact in every public school in America
Paleontology
 World Book Encyclopedia says this
2. Scientists determine when fossils were formed
by finding out the age of the rocks in which
they lie.
3. Paleontology (the study of fossils) is important
to geology. The age of rocks may be
determined by the fossils in them.
 This is what is called circular reasoning and is
solely based on the Geological Column by
George Lyell that has never been proven in the
scientific world.
What the Bible Says
Literal Days or Millions of Years?
 Firstuse of Day, translated from the
Hebrew word yom is established as a 24
hour day
 Anytime evening, morning or a number is
used with day (yom) in the Bible it always
means a literal 24 hour day
Genesis Chapters and Verses
 1:5 - …..evening, morning, first day
 1:8 - …..evening, morning, second day
 1:13 - …….evening, morning, third day
 1:19 - …….evening, morning, fourth day
 1:23 - …….evening, morning, fifth day
 1:31 - …….evening, morning, sixth day
 Do you think God is trying to get our
attention here? He pays attention to detail.
God rested on the seventh day.
 From a common sense standpoint, it
would not make sense for God to rest on
the seventh billion years.
 God created in six literal days and rested
on the seventh to give us a model for our
life as Christians as stated in Exodus
20:11
God could have created everything
in 1 second
 God is not restrained by time
 2 Peter 3:8 – But beloved, do not forget
this one thing, that with the Lord one day
is a thousand years, and a thousand years
is one day.
Adam was 1 billion years old
 God created Adam on day six and lived
through day seven
 Adam was at least a billion years old
right?
 Genesis 5:5 tells us that Adam lived 930
years
What about Dinosaurs?
 Called Dragons until 1850
 Dinosaur literally means Terrible Lizard
 Lizards are the only animal that will
continue to grow until they die
 First thousand years of Earth, man lived to
be > 900 years old (Adam = 930 years
old)
 If man had an extended life expectancy,
so did animals
Dinosaurs in the Bible
 Behold now behemoth, which I made with
thee; he eateth grass as an ox. Job 40:15
 He moveth his tail like a cedar: Job 40:17
 His bones [are as] strong pieces of brass;
his bones [are] like bars of iron . Job 40:18
 Behold, he drinketh up a river, [and]
hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw
up Jordan into his mouth. Job 40: 23
Behemoth
 Cedar of Lebanon: Can grow up to 40
meters tall (131 feet)
 Must be very big: “drinketh up a river”
Length: Apatosaurus
21.3
meters
(70 feet)

Height:
(15 feet)

Weight:
35 tons
Leviathan
 [His] scales [are his] pride, shut up together [as
with] a close seal. Job 41: 15
 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, [and] sparks
of fire leap out. V. 19
 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as [out] of a
seething pot or caldron. V. 20
 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out
of his mouth. V. 21
 He esteemeth iron as straw, [and] brass as
rotten wood. V. 27
Great Deluge (Noah’s Flood)
 Fossil Graveyards: Mass graveyards found
today that show mass deposits of plants and
animals all at once that fossilized rapidly to
prevent rotting.
 This is contrary to the teachings that over
millions of years rock layers were formed over
the plants and animals where they fell
 Examples: Kargo Formation in Africa; Flourisant
in Colorado; Agate Springs in Nebraska
Rock Formations
 Taught that it takes thousands of years for rock to form
 “Magic in the Marsh”, published by the eastern Daily
Press (Norfolk, UK) Oct 5, 1994 p. 7 disproves
aforementioned theory. Says “ Without any regard to the
laws of geology, mud on the marsh is hardening into
stone in a few years rather than the thousands of years it
usually takes…..Professor Coleman said the rock was
forming faster than anybody had ever believed possible,
with one stone creating itself in just six months…..They
often contain beautifully preserved fossils, where the
detail of the soft flesh of the creature is caught, as well
as, the bone, as it had no time to rot before the rock
formed around it.”
Heavens (Stars)
 Theistic Evolutionists – Date the cosmos at 15 billion
years old due to the fact that the farthest thing they can
see is a quasar that is 15 billion light years away. They
theorize that since it took 15 billion light years for the
light to travel from there to here the Earth must be 15
billion years old. This is based on the assumption of
evolution and the time it would have taken for the
galaxies, stars and planets to form after the Big Bang.
One light year is 6 trillion miles.
 Psalm 19:1 – The heavens declare the Glory of God; the
skies proclaim the works of his hands.
 God lets us know here that he created the heavens to
declare his glory.
Earth Shape and Suspension
 Job 26:7 – He stretcheth out the north
over the empty place, and hangeth the
earth upon nothing.
 Babylonians thought the Earth to be flat
and standing on pillars
 Pythagoras- 6th Century: First to advocate
spherical Earth
Cloud Formation
 Job 26:8 – He bindeth up the waters in his
thick clouds: and the cloud is not rent
under them.
 Time of Job around 1500 B.C.
 340 B.C.- Aristotle published
Meteorologica, first scientific consideraton
of cloud formation
Our Goal
 Not to debate
 Present the facts and the Gospel
 Point out we all have the same scientific
facts, it is how those facts are interpreted
which establish our basis for living.
 The Great Commission commands us to
go and teach the nations. We should do
so with understanding of others and love
and compassion for their eternal souls.
