When it comes to how everything above us, below us, and around us came into being, we really have only two choices. We believe in the Genesis account of creation; or we believe in man’s theory of evolution. We either believe Genesis 1:1 that “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth”, or we believe that everything evolved over billions of years. Make no mistake, we cannot believe both and it is futile to try and harmonize the two. It has to be one or the other.
Evolution is a theory that was invented to eliminate the God of Genesis who gave us His Law which we have broken. Society embraces evolution because it eliminates the God to whom we are accountable. If there is no creator there is no judge, if there is no judge we can live as we please. Evolution fits perfectly into the predominant ideology of the day, humanism. To me it is much more reasonable to believe the eyewitness account of the Creator than to believe a theory of someone who was not there when it happened.
The Christian’s argument against evolution is Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created….” It all boils down to the issue of “authority.” What is our authority? It is either the Bible or scientific theory. Everyone must choose whether they will appraise Scripture by science or science by Scripture. It is just that simple when it comes to evolution- what is our authority? The origin of everything that science can observe is explained in one succinct verse, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
