TRUTH: Man was
created by God
TRADITION: Man evolved from super-slime
The battle of traditional Evolution vs. Creation is definitely not a new
subject. However, Darwin's THEORY of
evolution is relatively new as it has only been around a little over a century
and a half.
In essence, traditional evolution says we are all kin to the monkey and
have evolved from some type of pre-existing super-slime all the way through
monkey-hood to manhood over millions of years of time!
Now, it takes a whole lot more faith to believe that 'story' than it
does to believe that there is a supernatural God Who created us from:
"The
dust of the ground and breathed into our nostrils the breath of life" (Genesis
2:7).
The major problem man has with believing God created us is the
accountability factor. If God created us
He owns us and we must then be accountable to Him as He is revealed in His Holy
Word the Bible. Our sinful actions must be dealt with in view of the Truth of
the Word of God which clearly states: "All
have sinned and come short" (Romans 3:23).
Repenting of our sin and receiving Jesus Christ by faith as our personal
Saviour is God's simple and only answer to the curse of sin:
"For the wages of sin is death, but the
gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23).
Yes, God's great love for His creation was demonstrated through His only
begotten Son Jesus Christ when He paid the penalty for our sin. Only He, the
sinless Son of God, could pay the price, by lovingly shedding His Blood and
dying on the Cross in our place.
When we receive Him by faith we are "born
of the Spirit" [born from above]
(John 3:1-16) becoming
complete, fulfilled, children of God worthy to spend eternity with Him in heaven
instead of an eternity in the torturous fires of hell!
Being born of the Spirit causes us to instantaneously become new
creatures in Christ:
“If
any man be in Christ, he is a new creature [creation], old things are passed
away behold, all things are become new!” (II Corinthians 5:17) thereby
supplying us with a clear, unclouded vision to see and understand the Truth of
Creation and wisely reject the 'Slime to Super-Monkey' farce of traditional
evolution. We can then truthfully sing with the song-writer these somewhat
comical but very truthful words:
"I'm no kin to the monkey
The monkey's no kin to me
I don't know about
your ancestors
But mine didn't swing from a tree"
