People today mostly believe in the theory of evolution. Why they believe in the theory of evolution is because they tell themselves that it is the most evidence-based explanation of how life arose on this earth. What people don’t seem to understand is the havoc believing in such a theory has on the faith of a person. Having never believed in the theory of evolution myself, I can easily identify this as a major proponent for atheism in these end times,
But my question is this. Did the Bible evolve upwards? Evolution is applied to many things in life; should the Bible be one of them? The Bible teaches that at the beginning of the creation of man, people’s longevity of life was far beyond that of what it is today. Methuselah, one of our oldest forefathers, lived for nearly a whole millennium. This comparison to the age of which we live today means we have not evolved, but that entropy is a more plausible explanation.
Why do people believe in the theory of evolution? Is it really a better explanation for the development and origin of life than that which the Bible teaches? I believe in microevolution because this can be observed. I do not believe in macroevolution which is an upward, beneficial increase in complexity as evolutionists claim happened millions of times between bacteria and man. Macroevolution cannot be observed. What would normally be considered a ridiculous idea (like a worm becoming a man) can seem credible by expanding the amount of time. The theory is wholly inadequate. The fossil record express a complete lack of transitional fossils showing one kind of animal changing into another. The amount of damage this theory has done to faith is insurmountable. And for what? Believing in the theory of evolution can only be described as a blind faith.
All you’re doing when believing in the theory of evolution is trusting in man, rather than Yahweh as
Jeremiah 17:5-6 states:
"Cursed is the one who trusts in man,
who draws strength from mere flesh
and whose heart turns away from Yahweh.
6 That person will be like a bush in the wastelands;
they will not see prosperity when it comes.
They will dwell in the parched places of the desert,
in a salt land where no one lives."
This scripture tells us those that trust in man are cursed. The theory of evolution is a man-made theory. I think it was either in 2007 or 2005 when the Presbyterian Ch-rch passed a resolution by a lopsided vote of 353-150 if memory serves, reaffirming its support of evolutionary theory and encouraging the teaching of ‘reliable scientific knowledge’ in public schools. Many religious organisations are selling out because they don’t take the Bible literally. How could anyone squeeze the theory of evolution in to the Bible? It doesn't work.
Atheists will call Creationists blind, but isn’t the reverse true? There is no observable evidence for macroevolution. Further, macro-evolution requires millions of just-right mutations. On the contrary, there is plenty of visible evidence of Intelligent Design. To prove something by the scientific method it must be repeatable, measurable and observable, none of which things the theory of evolution is. And if anyone thinks they can simultaneously believe in the theory of evolution as well as Yahweh you are mistaken. Yahweh created all life on earth within 6 literal 24 hour days and rested on the 7th. Yahweh did not wait millions of years for man to evolve out of meagre creatures. How ridiculous. Yahweh sets clear bounds even within the animal kingdom. Man was never anything other than man.
There was a theory quite popular in the 1970’s I hear that said ‘G-d is dead’ or ‘Yahweh is dead’. This would be an easy theory to believe in if one believed in the theory of evolution because it shows that Yahweh doesn’t care about human kind. That he has left us all to our own devices without instructions, vision or clarity. That all things will eventually get better, they’ll evolve.
Did the Bible evolve upwards? No, the message of the Bible is the same: fear Elohim and keep his commandments. Rather I would have to conclude that this world has degraded downwards.
Romans 1:25 says:
"for that they exchanged the truth of Yahweh for a lie
and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever.
Amen."
