Chapter 1. 2
Evolution
In
the beginning God created the heavens
and
the earth and the earth became void. Gen 1:1
First
Word
As a Christian I believe The Bible is without error and is the final unchanging
authority. All Scripture is
God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.[1]
After reading Genesis 1:1; in the
beginning God created the heavens and the earth; I could close the book; short
study. This Word study was over in the first sentence, but I will press on.
The
Bible
Cannon
of the Bible: A collection of
books (over 2,800 manuscripts from the
9th century) The Greek term cannon means straight rod, rule or measure and
was “THE RULES” upon which manuscripts were chosen to be
included or excluded from our Bible. [2] In Christ’s day there were writers of highly
imaginative and fantastic stories about Jesus, His family and His childhood;
the authorship of some of these stories were often falsely attributed to His
disciples in order to get acceptance.
The
Council of Nice came together to settle the disputed issues. The majority of the OT writings had already
been settled and they were just dealing mostly with the NT writings. The Greek word Biblia means book or “The Books” and later came to be known as THE BOOK and
finally Ta Biblia; The Bible.
The ordinary reader couldn’t read Hebrew
or Greek; it became evident there was a need for different versions in order to
be an effective Christian. The KJV Bible
is still the standard to which all the different versions are compared, notwithstanding
the Original Manuscripts.
The Old Testament is divided up into 39
books and the New Testament has 27 books for a total of 66 inspired books. The Bible is not a book of mysteries. All the so called mysteries are unfolded,
unpacked and revealed in the 66 books; precept upon precept and line upon line.
The Bible is only a veiled mystery to
those that are perishing.[3] It’s in the Book
The
Apocrypha contains some 14 books with writings that were excluded from the
KJV Bible because of their high imagination and silly stories. Only six of these are found in the Catholic
Bible. I do not discount these additional books, but use them for “seasoning”
of my own thoughts to get an insight into the cultural mindset and thinking of
men of that day.
Josephus
the Jewish Historian discounted the books of the Apocrypha stating that the only
inspired writings are the books we have now.
The
Bible is not a book for a
specific age; but a book for all ages and all times. It shows how God deals with man Past, Present and Future. It does not just CONTAIN the Word of God; it IS the word of God; all of
it. God spoke forth his powerful message
through Holy men of old; not by their own thoughts, but as they were moved by
the Holy Spirit to speak.[4]
I
count some 24 writers both old and new testament spanning some 4,000
years of history; all writing about the same God who reveals himself in both
the OT and NT. Jesus Christ is interwoven from Genesis to the
Revelation. Old Testament history and
prophecy is foreshadowed and realized in the New Testament. The OT and the NT are actually one book.
Side
Bar
The first Bible translated from the Latin Vulgate was around 700 A.D. and has progressed over the
past 1200 years. The first English
version Bible was printed in 1535 by Miles Cloverdale. The Geneva Bible was
produced in 1560 A.D.
King James in
1604 authorized 47 men to come up with a translation of the Bible from the
original language of the Aramaic, Hebrew and Greek. It took about 7 years and in 1611 they produced what became known as
“The King
James Version” of the Bible, which is still the most accepted Bible.
Evolution
101
Evolution
is made up of conjecture, theories and deep thoughts of “enlightened man”,
all of which have not presented any hard proven factual evidence that has
withstood the testing of its own scientific community.
Wikipedia;
Evolution is the change in the inherited characteristics of biologic
populations over successive generations. Evolutionary processes give rise to
diversity at every level of biological organization, including species,
individual organisms and molecules such as
Simpler said; all forms of life come from
modifications of earlier simple life forms moving to more complex forms. Things
that are complex were developed from something that was simple. A progression
from lower forms to higher forms. That is evolution.
Creationism;
I present the Bible which records 6000 years of history beginning with Adam,
documenting the supernatural creation of the universe by the hand of God which
of course evolutionist reject. Evolution is a rejection of God. You can’t have some of both.
Supernatural; Evolution denies the existence of God
and the “supernatural”
documented in the Bible. If you can
remove the supernatural from the Bible; you make the resurrection null and
void. If Christ was not raised from the
dead then the Bible is only a history book and our faith is useless[5].
There would be
no sin, no hell, no heaven and no Messiah.
Evolution says the Bible cannot be taken
literally. Man was not made in the Image
of God, but was made in the image of a Monkey.[6]
The man Jesus was merely a product of
evolution.
Quoting Dake/Huxley; “It is clear that the
doctrine of evolution is directly antagonistic to that of creation… Evolution, IF
consistently accepted makes it impossible to believe the Bible”.
Interestingly;
Evolutionist accept that some molecules and their laws of operation were
present in the beginning for everything to start the evolution process, but
they ignore where these molecules came from. Evolution shouts at God saying; “Hey,
we know how to make a man out of dirt too”, and God responds by saying; “fine, BUT GO GET YOUR OWN
DIRT”.
Cosmic/Organic - Finis Jennings Dake
Evolution
- Nothing and Nothing bumped into each other and made something.
Cosmic Evolution claims that from
lower units of matter (atoms and molecules) the vast material suns, moons,
stars, planets and universes were formed by themselves.
Organic Evolution teaches that the
vegetable and animal kingdoms evolved from lower forms of life to what
they are today.
Some say the earth is no more than 10,000
years old; others say millions of a year old, which is what I embrace, but
that’s another study called “The Other Flood; Lucifer’s Flood, The Gap theory”. If you are a student of the Word, I would
suggest Dake’s Annotated Reference Bible.
The Bible in
its entirety condemns the theories of both cosmic and organic
evolution. It declares in no uncertain
terms that God created (brought into
existence) all material and moral creations; the animate and inanimate
things[7]
and that He is the first and the last cause of all existing universes and the
things there in. Those in the Church who
try to harmonize evolution with the Bible rule God out in spite of themselves
and are enemies of both God and the Church. Finis
Jennings Dake
Big Bang
The
Bible says God spoke and then BANG it happened.[8]
The first scripture in the Bible says
that God created the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth. [9] Then evolution started; took about six days
to “evolute”
and on the seventh day God rested from “evoluting;” It was finished.[10]
Degeneration:
The law of nature PROVES that nothing reproduces anything
greater than itself. If left to its self
all nature will degenerate; not evolve. Without the Word of God, man will degenerate;
which is witnessed by Noah’s Flood. “Every inclination of the thoughts of their
heart was evil all the time” and TODAY by the removal of prayer and the Ten
Commandments out of the schools, look at where we are. When
the soul is neglected, man
reverts to a worse and lower type of man, to ruin and depravity.[11]
If you would consider for a moment that
the Cave man; the Peking man and the Neanderthal man could have de-generated
because of rebellion in a pre-Adamic world millions of years ago. It’s referred to as “Lucifer’s Flood”, a flood that happened
before Noah and Adam. This law of nature
is fixed, it has not changed in 6000 years. Every one of the millions of things created
“reproduced after its kind”.[12] No amount of un-intelligent matter can
produce intelligent matter. Intelligent
matter must start with intelligence. Dead matter cannot
produce live matter.
Quoting
DAKE again: “The sponge is still a sponge and has not become an oyster,
octopus, a turtle, frog, fish or crab.
None of these have ever reproduced anything except their own kind. No lowly earth worm has ever turned into a
tortoise, snake, or crocodile; no bug, bird or animal has ever changed from its
own kind or reproduced another kind which was fertile and could produce a new
kind. No monkey has ever produced a man
and the missing-link is still missing and always will be”.
Transmutation
I want to mention transmutation, which
in theory is a slow and gradual change or alteration in nature of mutation of
one lower species to a higher species which is opposite of the Bible. All life is dependent on other life. Reproduction is a higher condition to
evolution.
An egg
can’t reproduce another egg; you have to have a “Higher”
parent form to produce the egg. Nature
has demonstrated that there is over 1 million variations within the species of the insect world, but they have never
produced something different other than what they are; only a VARIATION.
So if you don’t get a new species you do not have evolution.
The theory of NATURAL
SELECTION and the SURVIVAL
OF THE FITTEST
has failed. No single example
of evolution from one species to another can be cited
The MULE
is the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse;
this crossbred mule is born sterile, it
cannot reproduce itself.
MONKEY
Evolution: If you check the scriptures you will
see that God made Man FIRST before He ever made the monkey, therefore
in evolution[13];
that would mean that Man “dis-evolved”
to become a monkey. He went from a higher life form to a lower life form. If
the LAW OF
EVOLUTION is true, then why do we
not see evidence of it working today? Because it’s
Heavens,
Earth, Man
God created and founded the earth to be
inhabited[14]. Then He created man both male and female[15]. He
created all the flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the
air including eagles and buzzards[16],
and the fish of the sea including whales[17]. He created the heavens, sky and the sun, moon
and the stars.[18]
He
put it all in motion with a circuit of night and day and provided warmth from
the sun.
Literally
& Supernatural
God literally made man in
Jesus Christ was literally supernaturally
born.[21] He
literally supernaturally rose from the dead[22]
and literally and supernaturally appeared to men.[23]
He’s literally and supernaturally coming
back. The Bible is literal and
supernatural.
Deception
Satan cannot create; all
he can do is corrupt;
he disguises himself as “Enlightened Intelligence” and after all,
everyone wants to be thought of as enlightened and intelligent. Satan was thrown out of heaven and became
bent on blinding the hearts of man; God’s greatest creation.[24]
In the end times, many will run to and fro with their ears itching for “new knowledge”
and “enlightenment”
but will still not gain the knowledge of the truth.[25] Satan rebelled against God… he sinned without a
tempter; he has no excuse; he is doomed. Man sinned because of the tempter and has the HOPE
of the redemptive Messiah.
There is evolution; those who
accept Christ will evolve from mortal to immortal, those who are blinded by
Satan and DO NOT receive Christ are evolving to God’s wrath and anger.[26]
You cannot be
neutral; Neutrality is a rejection of Creationism; a rejection of God.
Editorial; we enter into every discussion with a
load of BS;
our Belief
System, our Worldview; the most progressive
man is the one who sees he is on the wrong road and turns back the soonest, he
changes his BS;
his worldview. Jesus seeing the children
with believing
open minds told His disciples to
allow them to come to Him, for such was the Kingdom of Heaven.[27] The natural man cannot receive the things of
the Spirit of God because they are spiritually discerned. God sent the Holy Spirit to enable man to
change his BS;
to come with an open
mind; otherwise it is just foolishness to him.[28]
The Take
Away
Evolution is the belief that in the beginning,
“something” already existed and somehow “something” with its laws of operation
bumped into “something else” that was different and they had a baby. This “new something” evolved over millions of
years into its highest final form which today we call a “man”. This man was made in the image of a
monkey. Life forms evolve from lower
forms to higher forms.
Creationism is the belief that in the beginning there
was “nothing” and God supernaturally made something out of it. He formed it all; the heavens, the earth,
vegetation, man, animals, birds, fish and insects and they were commanded to
“reproduce after their kind” and that’s what they have been doing ever since. Since that time there have been thousands of
variations within the individual species, but no new species.
It further teaches that if man is left to
himself he will revert or degenerate to a lower life form to depravity.
Life forms
degenerate from higher life forms to lower life forms.
