There are reasons to doubt what you
have been taught by the educational system and the media about evolution.
There are reasons to believe what the
Bible teaches about creation.
When I grew up, evolution was one of my
favorite topics to read about. I had a Time-Life book called, Evolution.
The World Book encyclopedia and books on fossils were also my references
for this interest.
When the Lord Jesus got a hold of my
life at the age of 23, and I believed on Him, I was vaguely aware that
evolution-creationism was going to be an issue. But I put it on the shelf,
so to speak, trusting that my Lord Jesus would sort out this and any other
question for me according to His timing.
Eventually I began to learn about
evidence for creation and reasons to doubt evolution. I found out that the
fossil record has very little evidence for transitional species. I went
back and looked at my Time-Life book, Evolution, from my childhood
and realized that it did not even hint at the gaps in the fossil record. I
realized it was more propaganda than objective scientific reporting.
The day after I began to write this
article, I became aware of a new fossil find heralded as another
"missing link". The fact that, after almost 300 years of looking
for fossils, they are still having to call them "missing" links
is very telling! It is my view that each of these finds are not
"links" but simply additional (possibly) extinct species created
at the same time all species were created.
It reminds me of how the mass media so
hyped the alleged find of signs of possible life in Martian meteorites in
Antarctica. This was trumpeted on the front pages of newspapers. When the
find was later discredited, the articles were buried deep inside the
newspapers.
The World WANTS evolution to be true.
They DO NOT WANT there to be the God of the Bible. If evolution is true,
there is no God, so that they can be the gods of their own lives.
Evolution is a fervently held religious belief system.
More to come...
Jesus
the Creator
