A question for fellow Christians who also adhere to the creation truth?

I’m not concerned so much about what Non-Christians believe about Creation, but its Very disappointing to hear so many professing Christians say they believe in evolution, Because it is Shear UNBELIEF in Gods Written Word, and as Dan has stated, it has Numerous ramifications that Many, Many Other Biblical Doctrines are Based on. In-Fact the 4th Commandment is even based on the Creation story, According to Exodus 20:8-11, the Sabbath is the seventh day of the week, on which we are to rest, in remembrance that God created the universe in six days and then “rested” on the seventh day.

One Reason why this wasn’t a debate in Biblical days is because God Never tries to Argue for his existence. Its Just Stated as Fact because it his Existence and Works are CLEARLY Seen in Creation (Romans 1:19). If they Don’t believe, God Simply says The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God'” (Psalm 14:1; 53:1). The Bible also proclaims that people are without excuse for not believing in a Creator God. “For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—His eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse” (Romans 1:20). According to the Bible, anyone who denies the existence of God is a fool. Why, then, are so many people, including some Christians, willing to accept that evolutionary scientists are unbiased interpreters of scientific data? According to the Bible, they are all fools! Foolishness does not imply a lack of intelligence. Most evolutionary scientists are brilliant intellectually. Foolishness indicates an inability to properly apply knowledge. Proverbs 1:7 tells us, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.”

Hi Primo. Actually, the theory that man evolved from lower creatures was well-known to the anciant Greeks, and was the subject of debate between Platonists and (I think) Epicureans. Indeed, the teaching was well-advanced at least four centuries before Christ's Incarnation (see 'After the Flood', a book featuring details of the arguments of atheists vs. creationists -- not Jews or Christians, but believers in the greek gods, as well as evidence of an earlier belief in One True God -- by Bill Cooper. Link: http://www.creationism.org/books/CooperAfterFlood/...

As this is the case, it is telling indeed that Jesus emphasised Adam and Eve were made "from the beginning of the Creation" (Mk. 10:6), and not "Actually, the account in Genesis is a parable, and the Greeks have got it right".

Hope this helps: God bless,

A.S.

Most theories that are not Biblical started showing up in the 18th century. However, they still have problems with them since there are other galaxies that seem to be young like the earth, however, there are some that seem to be older than the universe it's self. And in the Big Bang Theory, the universes and the galaxies should all be the same age.

So up until the 18th Century, the Biblical Account of Creation was NOT considered to be false or inaccurate.

Darwin published Origin of the Species in 1859, about the same time the Civil War began. Funny how modern atheists rest their case on 19th century science.

However, you may be interested to know that early Christian writers did not believe God created in literal 24 hour days (see link). They recognized that a day for God (whose time is not governed by the rotation of the earth) may be a thousand years for us.

Cheers,

I totally agree with you. Darwin lived from 2/12/1809 - 1882. I believe it was in 1858 that he made public his theory of evolution and it took awhile for it to catch on. ALL scientists believed in creationism up until 1860. Since then as man has fallen farther and farther away from God, man has adopted evolution over God because of the existence of sin and delusion from Satan. They don't want to believe there is a God who will judge them one day.

From Wikipedia, and I agree.

"Evolutionary thought, the conception that species change over time, has roots in antiquity, in the ideas of the ancient Greeks, Romans, and Chinese as well as in medieval Islamic science. However, until the 18th century, Western biological thinking was dominated by essentialism, the belief that every species has essential characteristics that are unalterable. This began to change during the Enlightenment when evolutionary cosmology and the mechanical philosophy spread from the physical sciences to natural history. Naturalists began to focus on the variability of species; the emergence of paleontology with the concept of extinction further undermined the static view of nature. In the early 19th century, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck proposed his theory of the transmutation of species, the first fully formed scientific theory of evolution.

In 1858, Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace published a new evolutionary theory that was explained in detail in Darwin's On the Origin of Species (1859). Unlike Lamarck, Darwin proposed common descent and a branching tree of life. The theory was based on the idea of natural selection, and it synthesized a broad range of evidence from animal husbandry, biogeography, geology, morphology, and embryology."

Believing in Evolution (As a Christian) Has Very Serious Repercussions…

If Evolution is True, then Where does death come from? According to evolution death is a part of life. However, According to the Bible, death was the result of Adam's sin: 1 Corinthians 15:22, teaches unambiguously that death was the result of Adam. Adam's sin caused, Adam we have death. Also in Romans 5:12 Paul Says: “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned”, Paul goes on in Romans 5:14 in teaching the Doctrine of Original Sin where he States that “death reigned from Adam to Moses” and he not only compares and contrasts Adam with the Lord Jesus Christ, but he also compares what we have spiritually in the Lord Jesus Christ with what we have naturally in Adam. Logic dictates that just as Christ is literal, so Adam is literal. Read Romans 8:19-22, Paul Specifically says that All of Creation Suffers Because of Adams Fall. So the Apostle Paul Certainly Believed in a Literal Adam and Eve.

the first ten chapters of 1 Chronicles consist of genealogies beginning from Adam (Chapter 1:1 Starts with ADAM).

The Gospel of Luke traces Jesus' lineage back through Abraham to Adam (Specifically see Luke 3:38).

Jude, accepted a literal, historical Adam when he wrote concerning Enoch (in verse 14 of his epistle) that he was 'the seventh from Adam'.

the Apostle Peter revealed his belief in a literal universal Flood when he wrote in his second epistle that 'the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water' (2 Pet. 3:6).

1 Corinthians 11:9 -- Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.

1 Corinthians 11:12 -- For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God.

1 Corinthians 15:45 -- And so it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

1 Corinthians 15:47 -- The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven.

1 Timothy 2:13-14 -- For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

The References are Numerous, But Jesus Christ Himself Often referred to both ADAM and Noah, Along with Creation accounts. In Matthew 19:3-9 and in Mark 10:2-9. The Lord Jesus Christ answered the Pharisees by referring them back to the first two chapters of Genesis. He told them that 'from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female', and he then quoted verbatim from Genesis 2:24, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife' - something which Adam said when he first saw Eve and realized that she had been created from him. It can be seen therefore that the Lord Jesus Christ interpreted this part of the Genesis story of creation literally.

Jesus also believed and accepted the story of the Flood at the time of Noah as a literal historical event. We see from Matthew 24:37-39 and Luke 17:26-27, that Christ accepted that Noah was a real historical person and that the Flood was a real, historical, universal event. He did not consider Noah to be a mythical being, nor did he believe that the flood was a legend or a localized event.

If Evolution were true, then The BIBLE (GOD’S WORD) Is Chalked Full of UNTRUTHS and We are Left with Hen-Pecking and Choosing What Ever we want to believe! Because If I Can't Believe what Paul States as to Why Jesus Died and How Jesus Death Saves me by My Faith in Him, then you have Utterly Destroyed the Gospel Message! And You have removed the Authority of Gods Written Word.

If You are a Professing Christian you Need to ask yourself… Do You Really Believe MANS ‘THEORY’ of Evolution Over Gods Written WORD?

Please Read Romans 1:18-25

Edit:

Belief in Evolution Began when Unbelieving Men who are Specifically Described in Romans Ch 1 started Spreading their Lies and because Christians who were NOT Grounded in their Faith started Doubting God's Truths.

uh no. it is 6,000 years old not 10,000 darwin and dawkins made it all up because they were upset at God because of trials like with darwin, it was when his daughter anne died. he used to be a Christian but he converted after that happened and wouldn't even set foot in the church building. do you know how the Bible has those little genealogy sections saying so-and-so died when so-and-so was born? well my church used that during a service once and we did it all the way through the old testament to get bc and the we added the ad. after adding it up, we got 4003 years bc and we added ad to it so now it would be 2010 so it is around 6013 years old but that is just an estimate. nobody knows for sure the exact time but we do know it was around 6000 years old

Wow! LOL

You got a whole bunch of people in here telling you to get an education, yet looks like they don't know how to read, clearly you said this question was for "fellow Christians" and you got a bunch of non-Christians answering. Ironic isn't it?

Primo,

I believe as you do. Noticed you got a bunch of nasty replies from atheists you weren't even addressing your question to. They are drawn here to us (the light through Jesus). So it's actually a good thing!

I don't know the answer to your question but wanted to give you encouragement!
