We have seen in the last blog that God exists, but how do we know He created everything? The Bible tells us He created it all in six 24-hour days about 6,000 to 10,000 years ago. However, those who reject the reality of God say everything just came about by chance. How can we answer the claim that everything evolved? Let’s look at proof from science and reason that believing God created everything makes more sense than believing it came by chance.
Evolution says the planet and stars are the result of a big explosion of compressed, rotating protons and neutrons. That is believed by faith, for there is no scientific proof (i.e., facts that cannot be interpreted any other way, eyewitness account, etc.). It still doesn’t answer the bigger question: where did matter come from to begin with? Evolution is a faith system based on ‘chance’ as its god. The Bible says there is a God who created all out of nothing, and that He completely finished creation on the 6th day; it is no longer going on. The Second Law of Thermodynamics agrees, saying that energy tends toward entropy.
Evolution says that life began by chance as a single cell from non -living matter. This, too, has to be accepted by faith. By ‘chance’ the necessary chemicals would have to come together with the right temperature and moisture so atoms would turn into amino acids and polypeptides which join together to become a protein molecule. The chance of this happening is one in 10 to the 321st power! Then, millions of these would have to occur in exactly the same way while somehow 150 different chemicals would have to be included in them, DNA would have to develop, etc. What are the chances of that? Evolution is a system based on ‘faith’ for there is no proof these things ever happened. The Bible says God instantaneously created life by speaking (Genesis 1). That makes much more sense.
Then what about the scientific ‘facts’ used to prove evolution? What about the fossil record and strata layers, disappearance of dinosaurs and these kinds of things? I believe there is a better scientific interpretation and explanation for these than evolution. During Noah’s time there was a worldwide flood where water a mile deep covered the earth for a year. At normal processes fossils are formed slowly, but with this cataclysmic activity (earthquakes, volcanoes, continents drifting, etc.) everything happened much faster. It is like Superman squeezing coal into diamonds in a few seconds instead of letting ‘nature’ do it slowly over thousands of years. When the flood came, smaller creatures died and sunk to the bottom first, creating the fossil record. All was compressed and formed into rock quickly due to the tremendous pressure of water a mile deep for a year. The canopy was gone (Genesis 7:11) causing the earth’s climate to change from tropical to that similar to what it is today. Ice formed suddenly on the caps of the earth and there was no longer enough vegetation for dinosaurs, so they died out. The Bible clearly says that God did this.
Why does man reject God as creator? Because if evolution is true there is no need for God or salvation. If man is descended from monkeys, there is no need of a Savior for there is no sin, no basis for moral values and no responsibility to anyone but one’s self; the Bible is untrue and Christianity is false and man can do as he wants with no accountability. In pride, man seeks to run his own life and destiny. That is the real reason evolution continues to be so popular today
What difference would it make in your life if everything evolved instead of God creating it?
What, to you, is the strongest argument for the creation by God in 6 days instead of evolution?
Pray now and ask God to bring someone into your life this week that you can talk to about God the creator.
The next blog in this series is about how we know the God we worship is the only true God. For more proof see my book “Why We Believe” at https://www.christiantrainingonline.org/download/india/Books/english_translations/Why-We-Believe.pdf
