Let’s get Personal…

The evolution versus creation debate is highly contested by scientists. Both are based on pure faith.
Evolutions believe what they propose because they cannot believe that God exists and that they must
answer to Him for all they do in life. As creationists, we believe that God demonstrates His awesome
power to us in the creation. Romans 1:20 says, “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible
qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has
been made, so that people are without excuse.” A person who espouses evolution has to become so
hardened to the clear evidence that the earth is filled with the evidence of a Designer that God says he
is without any excuse on the Day of Judgment.

It is like the investigators who were looking into the death of a man who was
squished to death in a room. Standing there is a large elephant. But they ignore
the elephant, looking for all the possible ways this man could have been smashed
on the floor. In their final report, while they are not certain what killed the man,
they are certain it was not the elephant. A person is a fool who will not clearly
see the evidence! How foolish it is when a man says there is no God, when the
evidence of creation declares His power!

If you know anyone who is an evolutionist, take time to pray for him. Perhaps the Holy Spirit can
enlighten his heart and mind to see the reality of our wonderful Creator.
