*Did God Create Man or Did Man create God?*
*Creation or Evolution?*
February 12, 2005 and February 13, 2005
*Introduction*
If we were to reduce the questions of the world down to one, the question would be this; *DID GOD MAKE MAN OR DID MAN MAKE GOD?*
* *
1 Timothy 6 NIV
*/20 /**/Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care.
Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge,(Adrian Rogers-“oppositions of science”) 21 which some have professed and in so doing have wandered from the faith.
/*
*/Grace be with you.
*[1]*/*
*/ /*
1 Timothy 6 Message
*/And oh, my dear Timothy, guard the treasure you were given!
Guard it with your life.
Avoid the talk-show religion and the practiced confusion of the so-called experts.
People caught up in a lot of talk can miss the whole point of faith./*
*/ Overwhelming grace keep you!*[2]* /*
-I want to look at where man came from and why it is important that you belief Scripture.
-We are often led to believe that there is a mountain of evidence to support evolution and we are just laymen and worse yet, Christian laymen who believe myths and fables about God creating the world.
-I am not a scientist but there are tons of people who can discuss any aspect of it you would like.
This is creation for the mainstream.
*READ “Flew the Coop” from world*
* *
-When a scientist tells me he believes the Bible it doesn’t inspire more faith in the Bible just more faith in the Scientist.
-It is very common to pick up a child’s book about dinosaurs and they will all begin with something like; “Millions of Years Ago”.
-Back when we still had PBS we sat through so much nonsense about evolution that we would laugh out loud at them.
-Evolution is a *fairy tale for grown ups*.
*Dr.
Criswell says; “Once I was a tadpole beginning to begin.
Then I was a frog with my tail tucked in.
Then I was a monkey in a banyan tree, now I’m a professor with a PHD.”*
* *
* *
-The issue is can you kiss the frog and turn him into a prince?
Of course not, according to evolutionists it takes the kiss and millions of years.
* *
*1. **What does God say about creation versus evolution?*
* *
*Genesis 1:1* pretty much sets the stage for all that follows.
*/In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
*[3]*/*
*/ /*
Hebrews 11 NIV
*/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.
*[4]* /*
*/ /*
Psalm 19
*/1 /**/The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
*[5]*/*
-According to the Bible God is a creator and He desired to create man in His own image and also a place uniquely fashioned for this man to live in.
-God created us because He was motivated by love and that creation and love gives us meaning.
-If we just evolved we have no meaning or purpose.
We are just transitory forms of science and we got here by chance and our existence is just a mystery of the universe.
-This is so fundamental that I heard in China when you become a Christian they say; “So you have rejected Darwin?” (evolution)
-God says I made you and breathed life into you.
2 Corinthians 4 NIV
*/6 /**/For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” a made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
/*
*/7 /**/But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us/*.
[6]
-God’s creation is intended to give Him honor.
Instead some of it is crying out; “WE MADE OURSELVES”.
(PEPSI CAN EXAMPLE)
*2.
**What do the scientists say?*
*Charles Darwin**: “I was a young man with unformed ideas.
I threw out queries, suggestions, wondering all the time over everything, and to my astonishment the ideas took like wildfire.
People made a religion out of them.”*
*Dr.
T.N.
Tahmisian** (Atomic Energy Commission **USA**):*
*“Scientists who go about teaching that evolution is a fact of life are great con-men, and the story they are telling may be the greatest hoax ever.
In explaining evolution, we do not have one iota of fact.”*
-This isn’t a pastor saying this.
It is an eminent scientist.
-Some of the most famous scientists in history believed the Bible and creation rather than evolution.
· Michael Farraday
· Louis Pasteur
· Lord Kelvin
· Joseph Lister
· Isaac Newton
· Kepler
· Lord Francis Bacon
And many others……..
-We are led to believe that all scientists agree about evolution.
We are led to believe that they have the evidence but that it is over our head.
*Dr.
Etheridge from the **British** **Museum** of Science**: “Nine-tenths of the talk of evolution is sheer nonsense, not founded on observation and wholly unsupported by fact.
This museum is full of proofs of the utter falsity of their view.”*
*George Bernard Shaw, perhaps the most renowned free thinker and liberal philosopher said in some of his last writings**: “The science to which I pinned my faith is bankrupt.
Its counsels, which should have established the millennium, led, instead, directly to the suicide of **Europe**.
I believed them once.
In their name I helped to destroy the faith of millions of worshippers in the temples of a thousand creeds.
And now they look at me and witness the great tragedy of an atheist who has lost his faith.”*
* *
*3. **What does the fossil record say?*
* *
-I know all of us know a few people that we think could be the missing link between man and but despite that…the missing link is still missing, along with the chain.
-If you have visited the St. Louis zoo you have seen an elaborate display of the evolution hoax that contains models that have been proven to be false and in some cases even hoaxes, yet they are still there.
-Amazingly we have seen these pictures of the transition from ape to man and they are artists renditions…not fact.
*VHS-FOSSIL RECORD*
-You can study this as deep as you want to go.
-You hear about a great discovery that proves evolution and then it disappears.
-Contrast that with a recent discovery of the Biblical town of Edom.
It was called fiction because it wasn’t found.
It was discovered recently and dated to the exact time when David and Solomon lived.
-Real Science has never disproved the Bible and actually real science is a great supporter of the Biblical text.
*4.
What does the second law of thermodynamics say?*
-I am not a scientist.
-I remember walking once in California and God used an unusual example to teach me something that science already knew.
-I noticed the deterioration of the area I was in.
It was a 50’s area in L.A. Everything was deteriorating.
-Evolutionists say if something is left to itself it evolves upward and gets better.
-If you have ever had a garden you know if you leave a garden to itself it doesn’t get better.
-Park a car in the woods and come back in 20 years to see if evolution or the 2nd law of Thermodynamics is working.
*THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS SAYS SIMPLY THAT EVERYTHING WEARS OUT AND RUNS DOWN*.
