The Biblical description of Creation as part of the Scriptures
Christian Creation vs Evolution Theory

Christians have the Bible as their touchstone.
Most believe that Jesus died on the Cross at Calvary to pay the price for their sin
and that Jesus rose again from the dead and is seated on the right hand side of God.
Most believe that the Old Testament is the history of God's people up to the birth of Christ.
So why do many Christians apparantly not accept the Genesis 1-12 description of Creation? None of us were there at the time! But many Christians feel that they can choose not to accept what God has allowed to be put in His Bible?
Is it simply that Christians can accept spiritual things that they cannot see
and choose to overrule the Bible when their natural senses appear to contradict
what the Bible says?
People are taught evolution at school and in college and university.
The media print anything that is claimed to prove that evolution is true.
One thing that most evolutionists do is to mock Christianity at every opportunity.
Even some Oxford professors would prefer to mock Christianity rather than prove Evolution scientifically!
Perhaps most Christians know so little about the theory of Evolution that they are simply
unable to answer those who talk about Evolution or those who mock Christianity from their
limited knowledge of the Bible?
If you believe that Darwin's theory of evolution is a scientific explanation of life on earth
then you need to understand that it is just a theory and that the science does not support it.
In fact one needs more faith to believe in evolution and that we exist simply by pure random chance and that there is no purpose at all in our lives,
than one does to believe in a Creator God!
Does it matter if Christians do not accept Genesis 1-12 as the way the universe and the earth were created?
I think that it does for several reasons:
1. Genesis 1-12 is written as factual. If God made this up and it was not true then why would we be
expected to believe anything else in the Bible?
2. Genesis 1-12 explains the fall of Man. Man was designed to be in the image of God.
But the first man and woman chose to follow their own way. They thought that they did not need God.
Their nature became corrupted and this corruption was passed on to subsequent generations.
But even at this stage God had provided a way for restoration.
Jesus Christ fulfilled that prophecy.
Without the fall of Man why do we need Jesus Christ at all?
As Christians we should not be concerned about Darwin and evolution. Their worldview excludes God and evolutionists are simply attempting to promote their own religious beliefs.
There is no difference between the theory of Evolution and the other major world religions. They are all opposed to Christianity and they all have their own doctrines that may be similar to Christianity or may be radically different. As Christians we should be more concerned about Christianity than we should be about the other religions.
Note how the theory of evolution changes almost every five minutes because it is based on a visual perception of the world. The 'scientific' statements that are made to support evolution are not absolute truths, they change continually with new discoveries.
Evolution as a rational scientific theory is in it's death throes now anyway. Only where evolution is akin to a religion or where people have simply accepted it but never bothered to check the evidence for themselves, is it still thought to be credible.

How can any species be living today and be identical in form to fossils that are supposed to be millions of years old?
