3. THUMBNAIL SKETCH OF BIBLICAL CREATIONISM

IN A SOCIETY AWASH IN EVOLUTIONARY FAITH

DR. EARL PARVIN, December 8, 2020, March 2022

INTRODUCTION: Our society is schooled by respected teachers in our public & private schools, universities, colleges as well as seminaries. Most of these indoctrinated ones have been trained by those who are avid Evolutionists. It is shocking to discover that even some Christian institutions do not teach Biblical Creationism. [Answers in Genesis publishes a list of Christian Colleges which teach Creationism].

It is considered very bad manners at the least and at worst, politically incorrect or totally naïve [i.e. have you lost your mind?] to challenge these, we have been taught are ‘in the know’ and ‘experienced in these things’. Tragically some Christians too quickly admit they have little ability to defend a position considered at best ‘Bible based’, or at worst, ‘totally devoid of any scientific proof’. The truth is that Evolutionists have hijacked “Evolutionary Faith” and packaged it as “Scientific Fact”, to unsuspecting recipients who accept it as true. Thus, effectively nullifying God, [Ro 1:22, 25] or relegating HIM to an insignificant place, as outmoded. He is allowed to create the Primeval Ocean or Singularity or Quantum Fluctuation, but then must bow out for natural causes to take over. This is called “Theistic Evolution”, which is tragically popular in too many seminaries. In so teaching, they are unwittingly accommodating the Evolutionist’s supposed scientific need for billions of years. This is a tragic capitulation for the unproven & unprovable.

It would be unkind to point out that it was God who created the Natural Laws, which are indeed “natural” and everywhere self-evident. God’s created cosmos was so carefully crafted that the scientist imagines that natural laws are able to create, when they are in reality only *displaying meticulously planned, careful craftsmanship*. The fact of “similar DNA” across various Kinds seems to display an evolutionary relationship of growing complexity. However, in reality, the so-called missing links seemingly showing a relationship are found to be fraudulent, and therefore, nowhere to be found. It is most logical that similarities of DNA are but a logical, efficient use of similar            effective design. But it is also necessary to note the multitude of differences  between Kinds, which requires new design and additional “directed knowledge [Ps.136:5], versus trial and error over eons of time. Even the supposed 98% similar DNA of Ape & Man, upon careful examination is now known to be less than 85% similar. {What a waste of time, energy, life, involved pain & death. Just to deny a Super Intelligence directing}. It is just too simplistic to believe that God could just “command and they were created” [Ps 148:5]. Or “By the word of the Lord were the heavens made” [Ps 33:6], and “He spoke, and it came to be” [v.9], versus: Gravity made it all happen!

However, in these enlightened days early in the new millennium, quietly and without great fanfare, there has arisen an army of highly educated and respected scholars in various fields who are willing to put their reputations on the line, and loudly proclaim, there is little “scientific evidence” for evolutionary speculation, and a rapidly growing mountain of evidence CLEARLY proving that evolution cannot scientifically explain anything about *origins* coherently. In fact, science is continually proving that “random selection” is always devolution [i.e., everything is running down, not up = Entropy], as propounded by the natural laws of thermodynamics.

The Biblical a/c of the creation of this world and its cosmos is trustworthy and scientifically accurate in everything it addresses. God designed the Hebrew language of the Biblical account such that it is amazingly flexible, lending itself to clearly explain cosmology [origin of U.] at any time in history, [i.e., when it was written] & including the 22nd C.  The Bible is not a science textbook; however the amazing advances being made in scientific investigation in the 22nd century have only verified the accuracy of the Biblical Model and revealed fatal flaws in the possibility of the “Evolution Model”. Scientists are painfully honest when they always put a caveat on their latest “Theory of Everything…[ToE]”, about origins explaining, theirs is a “work in progress”. [But, “God saw all that He had made, and it was very good” [Hebrew = Superlative] G.1:31. Christians have no argument with “Scientific Investigation”. They actively encourage and pursue it, but may well challenge the “Premise” with which Evolutionists begin, [i.e.: no Architect needed] and the “Conclusions” which they are seeking to “Postulate” [the efficacy of natural causes]. I am so glad that now, versus when I was a young student, at least I know what questions to ask! I am no longer overwhelmed by the Scientist’s ‘educated statement of current Cosmology, [which he loudly proclaims as fact], versus the “Archaic Biblical A/C”. Not so fast… the Bible truly is archaic [it has been around a long time & still very relevant]… AND *right up to date*and not challenged by their discoveries. [They are only discovering God’s architecture, not ancient trial & error & trail of death].

The Evolutionist is driven by his denial of an “Architect” and the wholesale adoption of “Natural Causes” as the under pinning of all things. The more “scientists” discover about the complexity of everything thought to be ‘from simple to complex’ [i.e.: one-celled bacteria which can have numerous flagellum or motors], or the 8% of Sequenced DNA, [i.e.: so little DNA produces Protein. They don’t know what 92% of DNA does; therefore they postulate that it is leftovers from the evolutionary past]. Nor can they explain why there is so little ordinary matter called baryonic matter in the U. [The rest or 68% of the missing mass/matter in the U., they call ‘dark energy or dark matter’]. The Cosmological Principle mystifies. [Why the U. has only Matter and not equal Anti-matter]. They keep discovering the impossibility of “natural causes” being anywhere near representative of the facts. [There are too many factors which need to take place simultaneously and with specific timing, for accumulative natural causes to make it happen]. Thus, the evolutionist is appealing to Evolutionary FAITH = no proof required!]. Thus, we proceed to present our Biblical Model based on FAITH, while recognizing the opposing Model of Evolutionary FAITH. Now we have a level playing field. The question before the house is: which FAITH model more accurately represents the current observable reality. [May I draw attention to the fact that Faith is not a Biblical Term per se, as they would like unsuspecting Christians to accept? It is a secular term, which Biblical authors use as defined in the dictionary very clearly stating: “Belief which does not rest on logical proof or material evidence” [p.486, 2^nd College Ed. The American Heritage Dictionary, Houghton Mifflin Co., 1985]. The issue is not: Science versus Bible. The Big Bang is not Scientifically provable… it is Faith in the Big Bang theory, for no one was there to observe it, nor have scientists been able to reproduce it for Peer Review. I readily admit that Creation teaching is by Faith, based on an Ancient Book, the Bible. I only ask the Evolutionist to be honest with the facts. He too is operating by Faith. This includes Mr. Nye, the Science Guy… he operates by Faith too, which he insists on calling science.

 I further note, the seemingly impregnable or near universal position of the Evolutionist is facing some rather unsettling defections in their highly educated ranks. This is called the “Third Way” [www.thethirdwayofevolution.com]. Fascinating, their followers are stressing over the fact that current research is proving quite embarrassing to their belief system. AiG Magazine has a nice article which concludes: “Today this debate has gotten hotter than ever. This HUGE Dissenting Faction of evolutionary scientists believes they need a new ‘_extended evolutionary synthesis’_…they are dumping their textbook version of Darwinian evolution…the latest biological discoveries are doing nothing to help their cause…” [Answers Mag. July-Aug.2018, p64].

Genesis 1:1. “In the *BEGINNING* God… Our *Eternal* God, who has no “Time” Framework, must first establish a “Time Reference” for His cosmos to be created. Think about it. Everything we know and do references time. God would create a body with trillions of cells, each one of which would have its own time schedule or clock! Science demands Time. In fact, Einstein defines Gravity as a “Space-TIME Continuum”. Don’t ask what that means, for even scientists have difficulty with that Wise Old Fellow’s, definition. They can explain what gravity does, but not what it IS. [Gravity for most of us is still: two masses attract one another]. Note: God spoke and it happened in a flash [Heb 11:3; II P3:5]. The fleshing out as happening in 6 days is for our benefit & understanding! God is so patient with us mere men.

GOD. Is it not amazing that the Bible reveals God, but does not proceed to prove His existence! [Gen. 1:1; John 1:1] We accept the fact by Faith. Now we have left Evolutionary Scientists behind, for they reject that which they cannot subject to scientific investigation & explain via a Mathematical Formula. So much their loss, for they are left to their own limited knowledge enhanced by Computer technology made possible by Exploding Memory capacity. However, since they cannot prove scientifically their Big Bang Theory… they too are operating by Evolutionary FAITH and won’t admit it. The Hebrew word for “God” here is “Elohim”. This is a plural noun always used with a singular verb. It is a Hebraism revealing a “Godhead”.[KJV- Acts17:29; Ro1:20; Col 2:9] We understand our God to be a Trinity or Triunity of personalities, all of Whom are active in the Creation a/c. God the ‘Father’ is the ‘Architect’ of the creative process. In Heb 11:10 [NIV], Paul calls God the architect. In [Prov 3:19-20] “By wisdom by understanding, by knowledge” He laid the EARTH’s foundations. [Prov 8:27-29 “marked out” {NIV} can be translated “blueprint” {as in Living Bible}. God the “Son”_ is the Agent or Builder of the creative process. [Note 1: the noun: “son” comes from a Hebrew verb which means: “to build”. Obviously a son is to ‘build a family’ but here it fits as the builder of the cosmos. Note 2: [Jn 1:3 & 10] “Through Him all things were made…”; [Heb 1:2] “through whom He made the U”; [Prov 8:30] “…Craftsman at HIS side” [H = master craftsman BDB. (Ex.28:11) “Gem cutter”]. Note 3: fascinating, Jesus earthly father was a carpenter who taught HIM the trade. Note 4: We know that Jesus was before the beginning of time {II T.1:9; Titus 1:2}].

 CREATED THE HEAVEN: Heaven in Hebrew is “shamayim”. It may also be translated “Space”. Space is defined in the dictionary as a place to put something. Space is not “nothing”, like the space between two words in printing. It is “something”. God is desirous of making a cosmos. Where will HE put it? He must create “space” a place to put it. Since God is a Spirit, He needs no “space”, but His cosmos does. Job notes that “God stretches out the heavens” [9:8].NOTE: First – God establishes time. Second - space. It makes perfect sense. Even science starts out with Space-Time Continuum. Note: we will see later that God organized this “space” with “planes” [Latin: Firmament, Hebrew: rachia = Expanse] in which the stars & galaxies would orbit. Space is Organized! [Speculation… is it possible that the missing ‘dark’ matter may well be somehow involved in the “planes” which God created as places for Him to PLACE his spinning Stars, Planets and Galaxies? [ There are lots of things scientists have not been able to discover yet. Astronomers are still finding Galaxies out there with their ever more powerful, complicated & well placed above our atmosphere [for clarity in viewing] in their “planes” for orbit.] Dark Matter is now considered special gravity, or the “HALO” of hot plasma they have discovered surrounding the Milky Way Galaxy.

Next GOD CREATES EARTH. Earth is “eretz” in Hebrew.”‘Earth” is an accurate translation of the term, but it does not convey real meaning here, for God is creating far more than Earth [terra firma] where we live. What about all the Galaxies with their hoards of stars? Another option is matter which of course is what the earth will be made of [as well as everything else] in the proper sequence of “Time”. Matter is defined by Webster as, “that which occupies space”. The “Space” God has already prepared! All matter has been cataloged as elements [IIP.3:10,12] which God has designed and scientists have recognized & recorded in the Periodic Table of Elements. *This “table” is possible because each element is made up of Atoms. Each element will have an Atomic value or number; therefore, they are placed in their detailed & perfect sequence by “Atomic Number”. [Now how did that just happen?] At this point the elements are either in Solution or Suspension in a globe of water. NOTE: Water is called the universal solvent. The Biblical record indicates “And the elements [earth] were without form & void: [Hebrew: tohu & bohu] v.2. This indicates that the”‘elements” [earth] had no recognizable shape or form at this time, which by the way is accurate. They are in suspension or solution; therefore, without any recognizable form. NOTE: Heb 11:3 “By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible”. [That would be logical if the elements were in solution or suspension. It could be speaking of ATOMS, because they are invisible.] Continuing the analogy of the Architect and Builder… the Builder would order the materials to be used in the construction, following the Architect’s drawing, having them delivered & put in place in the Space prepared for the building. It makes perfect sense to realize the delivered materials have no recognizable shape or form at this “Time”, before they are arranged according to the Architect’s blueprint. NOTE: the writer of the Hebrews in ch 1:10 says the Lord “laid the FOUNDATIONS of the Earth”. That is where a Builder would begin, with preparing the foundation. [Here the foundation is a sphere of water. Later it would be a “plane” in space, located in the Milky Way Galaxy spinning in its “plane”.]

We further note in this verse that “darkness was over the surface [face] of the deep”. Darkness is “the absence of light”… which we note has not yet been created. [Again accurate]. The surface of the deep reveals the Elements [earth] were in a sphere of water, as mentioned later in the verse. Water is critical for life to be on planet earth yet to be constructed. Water is an amazing substance with the mathematical formula of [H2O]. Could this be the Primeval Ocean of many mythologies? Or better the “Prebiotic Soup” for it is amazing that current science still looks to “biological metabolism coming from an early ocean [Wikipedia].

The verse continues, “THE SPIRIT OF GOD” was hovering over the waters. At this point God reveals the 3rd Person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit-Enabler’ or ‘Energizer. What is the Spirit of God doing? The word hovered  in Hebrew is [racaph]. It is a pictogram of an “eagle sitting on its nest”. Why does an eagle sit on its nest, but to hatch the eggs. Hatching eggs requires the input of body “heat” which is a form of ENERGY. The laws of thermodynamics declare that energy can neither be created nor destroyed in this world; therefore, God the Holy Spirit is at this point putting ALL the energy ever to be used, into the cosmos. Consider ALL the energy being consumed by our Sun and all other suns and stars converting Hydrogen into Helium. God put it all here to be used. Note 1: God at this point is creating all the Natural Laws which will rule the U. Note 2: These are the same laws Evolutionists believe are the sole creator of the U! Note 3: The Second Law of Thermodynamics indicates that ultimately everything is becoming less orderly = Entropy. We rejoice that this U. is not our ultimate home even though God is sustaining our universe. [Heb. 1:3; 2:8; Col. 1:17;Job 38:33]. He is preparing a place [In another world?] not of this world.

Let us summarize these two verses. God has established: 1. His existence as Godhead, with the Trinity active in the creation of the cosmos. God the Father = the Architect. God the Son = Builder [Jn 1:3; Col 1:16]. God the Holy Spirit = Energizer. 2. God created SPACE, a place to put His creation. We have yet to begin to comprehend the vastness of galactic space [measured in Light Years = the distance light can travel in a year at 186,000 mps] in which “planetary bodies” will exist in their prescribed orbits or planes, the numberless stars located in their vast Galaxies, such as our own Milky Way Galaxy in which is located our Solar System. 3. God created MATTER, ELEMENTS or ATOMS… all the building materials needed for the SON to build His cosmos according to His Father, the Architect’s plans. 4. God created ENERGY as supplied through the aegis of God the Holy Spirit. Scientists continue to perfect amazingly elaborate equipment to explore the minuteness of “Subatomic Space which we call the “nano world”. They seek to understand the unimaginable electromagnetic energy locked in the nucleus of the atom. Consider the horrible results of a nuclear explosion caused either by fusing two atoms together, called fusion or splitting an atom called fission. All that destruction from something so small you cannot see it by the naked eye. Energy which God packed into the Atom is far greater than the Energy of Gravity holding Galaxies in place or you and me on the face of the earth.

In verses 3 - 5, God creates LIGHT. Light is a form of energy as seen in the Electromagnetic Spectrum. This ES is a many splendored thing for “visible light” is a very small portion of the ES. It includes radio, TV communication & Smart Phones we all enjoy. The micro waves that empower the “electronic ovens”. Ultraviolet light is involved in “sun-tanning”. Gamma rays empower “electron microscopes”. X-rays are used in the medical field. Wow, What a God. There are those scholars who believe that God used Light in all that was created. NOTE: at this point, the source of light is God Himself [1 Jn 1:5; Ps 84:11; Rev 21:23], for the Sun is not created until v.14.

In these verses we learn that the sphere of water, including all the elements, is spinning such that there is day and night or 24 hour blocks of Time: “evening and morning” v.5 Heb. ereb & boker, 39x}. [This denies: 1. the Day Age theory of eons of time elapsing between each “Yom” [Hebrew for day]. 2. the Gap Theory…which postulates a block of time between verses 1 & 2]. It denies: 3. Theistic Evolution… that God created the elements in some primeval ocean and left development to [Evolutionary Natural Law]. {Note: God “left the development alright, but to His Son, the Builder!} These ideas are all a useless effort to “Accommodate” the blocks of time needed by Evolutionary Faith, which is a poor excuse for science. Shame on the faithless theologians, who at best are Theistic Evolutionists, who are indeed living by faith, Evolutionary faith, which will not save their souls as does Creation Faith in Jesus Christ.

In verses 6 – 8, God creates a FIRMAMENT OR EXPANSE. The Hebrew word is [raqiya]. The verb form means “to pound out plane” such as rolling out a pie crust. The shape of the universe or cosmos seems to be in an infinite “plane”. [The earth is obviously a sphere in spite of the Flat Earthers]. We note in verses 14 – 19 that this same term “plane” [raqia] is where God SETS the Sun, Moon and stars in their Galaxies and Constellations [Job 9:9]. Each in its own “plane”. In other words there is complete order where everything was placed by God in the Space & Plane/planes He created. These “creations” [not ‘accretions’ of space debris] are not helter-skelter or scattered about, as by a Big Bang or Explosion. In fact, the earth, its moon and the other planets in our solar system are in very specific places or positions in THEIR planes’ orbiting. The Psalmist suggests the earth was “set on its foundation, it can never be moved” [Ps 104:5]. The “foundation” would be that Expanse or Plane. The Expanse is a special creation of God for the Earth and each of the planets/stars & galaxies. [One wonders if these “planes” might be the “Missing mass, scientists call Dark Matter or Dark Energy?’  The distances between the ‘planes’ are absolutely critical or we would either freeze or be burned up by the sun. We read that God created the earth to be inhabited [Is. 45:18; Ps 115:16]. This suggests to me that it was designed by God to be where He would SET those with whom He planned to be in a relationship. I see nothing in Scripture which would indicate that there may be other extra-terrestrials out there to be found in any possible “green zones” of other worlds or universes. The postulate that man evolved on planet earth; therefore, why not others evolving on other earth-like planets, is flawed from the outset. Even so, the US government has [and is spending] millions of dollars with space probes to seek out other potential worlds and possible terrestrials. Such is the Mars space program in progress [consider SpaceX, etc] as we speak, seeking to put man on Earth’s Moon or Mars. [So much for life in gravity-less environment]. NASA is also seeking to put new generations of giant space telescopes [Webb 2018, 21’- 18 segmented mirror, one million miles at Lagrange 2 location above Earth, costing $10 billion] into orbit in space beyond earth’s atmosphere which distorts the light from distant objects in space.

In verses 9 – 10, God establishes GRAVITY. This is expressed in the statement, “Let the waters…be gathered to one place He called seas”. It would appear that some of the elements have congealed into the “earth’ [now the word assumes its normal meaning] which appears as the waters of the sphere assume the shape of the earth [before gravity], gathering in the lower lying areas which are called seas, allowing the higher areas to become dry land. At this point there are no mountains. The period of orogeny [mountain building] would come after the flood. The Hebrew word for gathered is [qavah]. It is according to /Brown, Driver & Briggs Hebrew Lexicon/, a primitive root meaning ‘to bind’. This is an excellent way to explain what Gravity does. According to Newton, he formulated the Law of Gravity stating two masses attract [bind] each to the other. [Scientists still have not figured out what it is, only what it does]. This came about by the “wisdom of the Lord, understanding & knowledge” [Pr 3:19-20].

In verse 14, God has the land produce VEGETATION. We notice that the vegetation is GIVEN LIFE to be able to reproduce after its own KIND. A lot of diversity is possible within the KINDS, but no possibility of all life kinds proceeding from one primeval pair or “Most Recent Common Ancestor” [MRCA] from which evolutionists propose as a Universal Common Descent [UCD]. Nor is it possible for non-living inorganic molecules to become living or “bio” molecules [Abiogenisis].

Proceeding to vs. 20 – 25, God creates all other life forms: fish, avian, animal also after their own KIND. [Again denying Evolution which would demand the adding of knowledge to enable a new kind]. Note: Involved with creating KINDS is the CREATION OF KNOWLEDGE as expressed in DNA. Each KIND has its own “genome of knowledge” to reproduce after its kind and within its boundaries. The Psalmist expressed the source of this knowledge: “How *man*y are your works, LORD! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures” [Ps 104:24].

NOTE: DNA is three different languages: DNA, RNA and PROTEIN. [Note: DNA is locked into the nucleus of the cell. However, Protein is made outside of that nucleus in the cytoplasm; therefore, RNA is a second language to make that transition. Protein is a third language and all three must exist at the same time]. NOTE: The human cell can have 1 to 3 billion proteins, some exist only 1 to 2 days and are degraded by apoptosis or cell suicide. But everything in the body is made of some kind of Protein including bone matrix. What a God we serve.

Finallyin vs. 26 - 27 God said, “Let US make man in OUR image, in OUR likeness”. It is clear that the Trinity was involved, especially in the capstone of their creative fiat. In ch. 2:7 “He breathed into him the BREATH of LIFE. Perhaps the most astounding aspect of God’s creation is the subject of DNA* The double helix which contains the DNA in which is all the information necessary for every KIND to be made. Within the six foot long strand of DNA which is folded and packed precisely into a cell so small it cannot be seen with the naked eye, is all the genetic info for each genome to reproduce itself, the 20,000 necessary proteins and its blueprint for the making of every kind. It is amazing how it can unpack itself, start replicating at exactly the right place, both backward & forward, and stop at the right place. Amazingly it can start in the middle and work both ways. Then it must check to see that everything is an exact mirror image of the parent. God is very precise! There is no possibility that this could have happened  by Mother Nature’s trial and error.

CONCLUION: I am overwhelmed by this study of our GREAT CREATOR. He has built into everything an amazing redundancy [which Evolutionists consider to be “no longer needed leftovers or Junk DNA” from Evolutionary Trial and Error]. It also has the ability to repair itself. DNA includes the ability to track environment and self-adjust to changing conditions as made obvious by the science of “Epigenetics”. God’s own personal attention to sustaining His creation is outstanding. Most amazing of all, is His indwelling the believer by His Holy Spirit, empowering the believer to do HIS will, including resisting temptation & Satan’s traps, and to be “being transformed” into HIS likeness. [Ro 12:2; II Cor. 3:18].

IN CONCLUDING this Thumbnail Sketch of the Genesis account of creation, I draw attention to those writers of the N.T. who verify the veracity of the Genesis account by speaking of “the beginning of creation”. The Gospel writer Mark makes two references. In Mark 10:6 he states, “But at the beginning of creation God made them male and female”. How do the Theistic Evolutionists handle that? In Mark 13:19, he speaks of: “days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now---”. Then Peter adds about scoffers saying: “Where is this “coming” he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the “beginning of creation.” [ II Peter 3:3-4]. John speaking to the church at Thyatira speaks of Christ: “the faithful and true witness, thebeginning of the creation of God; [ KJV], “the ruler of God’s creation [NIV]. Paul also mentions that God is seen in the creation of the world [Rom. 1:20].

 May I repeat this observation, that both Models of Origins are based on FAITH, which means that they do not require observable peer review evidence. The Christian readily admits that he accepts by Faith a Creator Architect. The Evolutionist adamantly denies an Architect and by Evolutionary Faith postulates that it all happened by Naturalistic Means. There is no conflict between Bible versus Science. It is Creation Faith or Evolutionary Faith, for neither is based on scientific evidence. The Evolutionist will present his position with Evangelistic Fervor that he calls ‘

“Scientific Fact”. That is Spin, but tragically accepted by a disinterested world who do not really want to be interrupted from their texting or Pokémon. There are so many unknowns for the Evolutionist… what is Gravity?, Strong Force? The God Particle? Where did Knowledge/Data come from or life itself? Are we only ‘stardust’? No, Job of old said it well, “…man was SET on the earth” 20:4. [‘Placed;’ KJ & NIV, NOTE: God ‘set’ stars & planets & man in their place.]

Creationists accept by faith that the Bible tells it like it is from the Beginning forward as history. While the Evolutionist works from the present backward to propose how things could have happened by Natural Laws. Since he has no scientific evidence for his proposal, he is also operating by Faith, which he adamantly denies. The reason for his denial of operating by Faith seems to be his misunderstanding of the definition of Faith, hoping the Christian will not understand his spin that it is only a Biblical Term.

The Evolutionist has nothing but his own intuition and denies any need for an Architect.  Creationists not only predict how things happened, but also what is predicted to happen by means of a Faith in Biblical Revelation.

It is fascinating to note that not all Evolutionists are in agreement that the Big Bang from a single Proton is reality. Consider Dr. Page’s statement: “There is no mechanism known “as yet_ that would allow the Universe to begin in an arbitrary state and evolve to a present highly ordered state”.

Or Dr. Tyrone’s comment: “I conjectured that our Universe had its physical origins as a quantum fluctuation or of some pre-existing true vacume or “state of nothingness”, or collision with “another universe” from another “dimension”.

Hosea said it well: “…people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. Because you “rejected knowledge” [Hosea 4:6]. That is of course, the knowledge of God! They rejected God.

Is it not amazing that in the Garden, God warned Adam and Eve not to eat of the Tree of “Knowledge”. Here in the 21^st . Century we see the full blown reality of why God sought to protect humanity from the ravages of 21st Century “Knowledge”… which is in reality EVOLUTION = which is a capitulation to KNOWLEDGE THAT DOES NOT SEE ANY NEED FOR GOD. God knew the wiles of the Evil One, the Great Deceiver, the Devil in sheep’s clothing. The Apostle Paul put it this way in Romans 1:25 “They changed the Truth of God into a lie” In verse 28, “…they did not think it worthwhile to RETAIN THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done”. He continues in verse 32, “…they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them” _[Romans 1:25,28,32]. NOTE: the Greek term for depraved mind [adokimon] is defined in the Gk dictionary as “unproved, Rejected as Spurious”. Evolutionists not only propose another option, but have Rejected the knowledge of God as “Spurious”. How tragic.
