The Giant of Unbelief

I have few friends who have good faith in the evolutionary theory of existence. One friend told me "Your belief in the creation theory just shows how naïve and gullible you are". This statement just proves the unflinching faith of evolutionists, a faith that even Christians cannot muster. The "great minds" of the world such as Professor Paul Davies, Professor Andrew Knoll etc all succumb to this giant called Evolution.

Growing up I was taught how humans evolved from apes and I humbly believed. But I just wondered where the first monad or that amoeba had evolved from. It gave me distressing wanderings and the only reasonable response could have been the flawed theory of spontaneous generation. I only realized this theory hinges on chance. It still baffles me how people can have such immense faith in something that only relies on chance.

"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear" (Hebrews 11:3). This is possibly the first exercise of a living faith - a staggering belief that the world was created by the word of God. Science says "I will believe only if it can be empirically proven". Science needs evidence which can be seen or tested. Faith says "I will believe if only God has said it". That is the difference. In fact, no human was there when the world was created. In the same vein, no human was there when the cells were mutated and subsequently evolved into something else. None of the theories can have huge bags of empirical evidence.

My only evidence is in the word of God. I only believe if it's coming from God. The wonders and amazing results of creation could not have been evolved. Even beautiful cities and finest technological developments have designers. It's not of so much surprise, sin has very much emboldened the human race. It's rightly not surprising people are strong adherents of evolution - how can you be rational when you evolved from apes. The story is simple, we are too denigrating, too degenerated and it is only unfair humans still believe in a flunked theory. "When consideration is given to man's opportunities for research; how brief his life; how limited his sphere of action; how restricted his vision; how frequent and how great the errors in his conclusions, especially as concerns the events thought to antedate Bible history; how often the supposed deductions of science are revised or cast aside; with what readiness the assumed period of the earth's development is from time to time increased or diminished by millions of years; and how the theories advanced by different scientists conflict with one another,--considering all this, shall we, for the privilege of tracing our descent from germs and mollusks and apes, consent to cast away that statement of Holy Writ, so grand in its simplicity, "God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him"? Genesis 1:27. Shall we reject that genealogical record, --prouder than any treasured in the courts of kings, --"which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God"? Luke 3:38." {Ed 130.2} The greatest demonstration of faith is the belief in a created world. Like the Psalmist said "Know ye that it is the Lord who made us not we ourselves" (Psalms 100:3). God made me. God made you too. How beautiful!!!
