WHY DO I
BELIEVE IN CREATION?
Without hesitation, I say that
creation is far more reasonable, logical, and consistent with science in
its truest forms than evolution. But the basis of our belief concerning
creation is neither science, logic, nor human reason. The only basis of our
faith, in all things, is the Word of God. The Word of God does not need to be
proved and supported by science, history, or reason. It stands upon its own
authority. It is written, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the
earth." Faith does not question the statement. Faith does not investigate
to see if it can be proven in a court of law. Faith simply bows to the Word of
God "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word
Of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do
appear."
Evolution, at its heart, is an attack of fallen men
upon the Being, Character, and Authority of God. There is no place of
compatibility between evolution of any kind and the Word of God. A man cannot
believe both: Evolution says that man was created in the image of an ape - The
Bible says that man was created in the image of God. Evolution says that man
started very low and got better - The Bible says that man started very high and
fell very low. Evolution says that man is the master of his own destiny - The
Bible says that all men are under the dominion of God. He has appointed our
bounds. Evolution says that man needs no Redeemer - The Bible says that man
without a Mediator is damned. Evolution says that when this life is over
nothing else remains - The Bible says that after a man dies he will stand
before God in judgment. In this, as in all other matters, we conclude, "LET
GOD BE TRUE, AND EVERY MAN A LIAR!"
