Unlocking the Mysteries of Evolution

Title for the essay

It’s important that we understand the impact of a concept called GRADUALISM

“Gradualism” is a term often used regarding biological evolution in place of uniformitarianism, but the intended meaning is usually the same.  Slow processes of genetic change, gradually going on generation after generation, through immense spans of time, are assumed to be the ultimate cause for virtually every living thing in nature.  As a modern zealot for Darwinism insists:

“Gradualness is of the essence.  In the context of the fight against creationism, gradualism is more or less synonymous with evolution itself.  If you throw out gradualness you throw out the very thing that makes evolution more plausible than creation”

In other words, you don’t want to accept the miracle of God creating so you accept the miracle that gradual, slow, long processes, drawn out for millions and billions of years can somehow perform miracles. That’s what it amounts to.

Days of Creation – How Long?

How long were the days of creation? You might wonder why some people would even ask that question after reading the first chapter of Genesis. Each of the first six days described there is clearly separated by the phrase, “the evening and the morning were the first day… second day…” and so on.  Those descriptive boundaries certainly make sense to us. Is there any reason to suspect it wouldn’t have been quite clear to Moses as well?  But what is the condition that makes an evening and a morning?  You might say “the sun.”  But on day one the sun wasn’t created yet.  And reading the text of Genesis, we discover that God didn’t create the sun until the fourth day along with all the other stars.  Here’s a question for you.  Even without a sun, how would you determine the length of a day?  Is it not by the rotation of the earth?  If you were on another planet the length of your “day” would be determined by the rotation speed of your planet, right?

Of course, with only a modest knowledge of Bible history, the implication of this idea would lead any reader to very naturally conclude that God said “let there be light” for the very first time only about six or 7,000 years ago. Well, that’s quite a thought.  But, some find this far too implausible. But why? Is it because of their pre-conceived idea that the universe must surely be much older than that? If that’s the only kind of information about earth’s ancient history you were ever taught, well then naturally we would expect that kind of reaction.  But, to follow it up, if they’re trying to show agreement with the Bible, you might hear them ask: “Isn’t there some place in the Bible where a day is described as a thousand years long?” Do you suppose they might be thinking they have to find a way to help the Bible get itself out of trouble with its credibility?

Unlocking the Mysteries of Creation the story behind the book  #384

What’s the backstory of the book that is like no other? Have you ever thought about what God’s direction for you might be for this stage of your life? You might be like many people…

Will You Leave a Legacy of Confidence in God and in His Word?

Does it matter what you believe about origins? The devil hopes you don’t think so. Maybe you’ve heard people say… “It doesn’t matter what you believe about Genesis.” “Beliefs about origins are not really important to my life.”
What do you suppose is the Number One Thing that causes God’s own children to suffer unnecessary losses, frustrations and destructions in their lives?
Remember What Jesus said about why He came?
The enemy disturbs people’s lives for a reason, why?
It’s … “to steal, kill and destroy.”
Jesus came to give his children what?
“…that you may have life and life more abundantly.” John 10:10
Abundant Life? Would you say that deception and destruction should be a part of that?
Notice what the prophet Hosea says about the one thing that affects God’s people destructively.
“My people are destroyed for a lack of… what? … Knowledge! Hosea 4:6
So, who do you think is the one who wants you to stay dense (stupid)? … in other words, do you think you should just remain ignorant about what God and true open investigation have to say about any fundamental knowledge like the topic of origins, creation and evolution?
How high of a Priority do you put on Truth? Where do you find the truth?
Remember what Jesus said? “…for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” John 18:37
And what was the sarcastic comment of the one man to whom Jesus spoke these words?
Remember what the Roman Governor Pontius Pilate said?
“What is truth?” John 18:38
So why are so many people so mixed up about the truth?
Paul’s letter to believers in Rome said: “They did not like to retain God in their knowledge.” Romans 1:28
Do you think that’s why many people say… we don’t talk about religion and politics around here? They don’t want to think about God and what He has to say about the vital issues of society that everybody’s talking about.

Thanksgiving in America – a legacy worth reclaiming #316

Is Thanksgiving in America a legacy worth reclaiming?
We all know the traditional Thanksgiving story of the Pilgrims, but have you considered the little-known experiences of the his-story that COMPELLED those humble believers to take such risks, posed by tyrants, to make the choices they did?

Can you expose the top 3 absurd assumptions of evolution?

You have probably seen evolutionary charts like this… but you might not have seen how to expose the faulty arguments behind them.  Those arguments have deceived many students into thinking the Genesis record is unscientific. …
