God never changed His eye witness report regarding creation but science on a regular basis changes their views about the beginning of earth.
There is very good science being practiced today and many Christians are actively involved serving mankind with their inventions and discoveries. Everybody accepts what operational science offers without question, science that can be tested, verified and demonstrated.
When, however, it is about the creation and beginning of heaven and earth that it is no more about science against religion but one religion against another. Many are deceived by the media with titles such as “Religion against science debate”. This is false propaganda convincing Christians to compromise about the history as clearly described in Genesis.
Those saying that an explosion created everything from nothing billions of years ago, have to believe that. Just as I do believe that God created heavens and earth from nothing about 6000 years ago. They cannot prove their views with current natural processes and experiments, neither can I.
Therefore both are religion, nothing else. Atheists and evolutionists, like Huxley, are right now actively busy taking their views over the world. The church can no longer ignore this very important issue.
Like Huxley of old, atheists and evolutionist, are now diligently busy taking the message of evolution across the world. No longer can the church claims this to be an unimportant issue, especially as atheist are asking the church to be part of the celebrations and to endorse evolution.
It is very important that we know exactly what it is about when evolution versus the Christian religion is talked about. Christian creationists (Christians taking the creation report of Genesis literally) do not have any problem with what is understood by modification/change over time and that different species can appear over time. Remember the Bible says God made the different kinds, not species.
However, evolutionists use this scientifically observed phenomenon in nature to make an unbelievable jump in faith, to declare:
- Everything originated by itself through an accident (the big bang),
- Life also accidentally originated by itself on earth (abiogenesis ) en
- That over millions years primitive single cell organisms changed into complex multi cell life (bacteria into biologist / the frog into the prince).
Therefore, ensure that you understand correctly what the other person means when he/she says that they believe in evolution and that evolution can be married with the Christian religion without a problem.
Anything we can observe in nature is not a problem, the problem arise when we talk about the origin thereof, it is then that there are two world views:
- The Christian Bible founded world view:
- God created the heavens and earth, the original kinds of plants and animals, as well as humans.
- It happened all in six days approximately 6000 years ago.
- The creation had a cause, and men are on earth to honour, praise and worship God.
- One day all of mankind will appear before God to answer on his/her life on earth.
Evolution – The materialistic / secular humanistic world view:
- What we see start all by itself. There is no God.
- Everything happened over billions of years.
- Nothing has a cause, everything is only the result of pure natural processes.
- There are no absolute moral codes, based on man’s circumstances and his own judgement man creates his own ethical standard.
- There is no life after death, when the body dies, it is the end of your existence
