CREATION
1. God's plan or random chance.
God's Word explains how the universe and life on earth are a part of
God's eternal plan. The only alternative to divine creation is
evolution, a sequence of randomly operating processes. To an
evolutionist, these random physical and chemical processes replace
God and carry out their own creative acts. The forward of the 1971
edition of Darwin's Origin of the Species states "[The theory of
evolution] forms a satisfactory faith on which to base our interpretation
of nature." Having replaced God with natural processes, the
evolutionist concludes that there is no accountability for sin.
1.1. God's plan.
1.1.1. God existed before creation (Ps 90.2; Col 1.16-17;
1 Pet 1.20; Jn 17.24).
1.1.2. God designed His entire plan for the ages in
eternity past (Ps 104.1-5, 31-35; Job 38.4; Rev
13.8).
1.1.3. Creation was designed to bring glory to God (Ps
104.1-4, 31-35; Ps 148.5; Col 1.16-17; Rev 4.9-11.
1.1.4. God's plan included man (Ps 8.3-6; Acts 17.23-26).
1.1.5. Jesus Christ created the heavens, Earth, and
all life forms complete in 7 days (Gen. 1; Ex. 20.11; Neh
9.6; Job 38.4, 31-33; Jn 1.1-3; Col 1.16-17).
1.1.6. The promises to Israel are backed by creation (Is
40.1-14).
1.1.7. Creation was cursed because of mankind (Rom
8.12). (Entropy follows this principal and applies to
all systems).
1.1.8. God's plan continues beyond creation (Ps 102.26;
Mt 24.35).
1.1.9. God will have a Big Bang and new creation (Is
65.17; 2 Pet 3).
1.2. The evolutionist is left to natural processes.
1.2.1. Common physical and chemical phenomenon (gravity,
magnetism, molecular forces) are not understood
(Col 1.16-17).
1.2.2. The evolutionist has nothing but these forces to
appeal to without God.
1.2.3. Faith is placed in these processes (Rom 1.18-
22).
1.2.4. Starting with the assumption that there is no God,
the evolutionist concludes there was no creative
act: No God ---> No creation ---> No Adam --->
No original sin ---> No accountability for
sin ---> No Savior.
1.3. Scientific facts will demonstrate that creation is
much more reasonable than evolution.
2. Seven days of creation.
Execution of God's eternal plan started in the 7 literal days of
creation. All matter, energy, an
