The Logic of Creation #1

The Biblical account of creation is ridiculed by atheists, patronized by liberals, and often allegorized even by consevatives. The fact is, however, that it is God’s own account of creation, corroborated by Jesus Christ (Mark 10:6-8, etc, who was there!

We are well advised to take it seriously and literally, for God is able to say what He means, and will someday hold us accountable for believing what He says! Furthermore, the account is reasonable and logical, fully in accord with all true science and history. The following chain of logic, while not compelling belief on the part of those who refuse to believe, at least demonstrates the reasonableness of Biblical Creation.

It is axiomatic that there are only two possible basic models or origins –that is, of the origin of the universe, of the earth, of life, of human life, and of all the basic systems fo the cosmos. These are in simplist terms, evolution or creation. Either the origin of things can be understood in terms of continuing natural process, or they cannot–one or the other. If they cannot, then we must resort to completed supernatural process to explain the origin of at least the basic symtoms of the cosmos.

Evolution and creation thus exhaust the possibilities, as far as origins are concerned.

This necessarily means that if we can “falsefy” (that is, demonstrate to be false) either model of origins, then the other must be true. There is no other option. By definition, evolution should still be occurring now, since it is to be explained by present processes.

PRESENT PROCESSES:

If there is anything certain in this world, however, it is that there is no evidence whatever that evolution is ocurring today–that is, true vertical evolution, from some simpler kind to a more complex kind. No one has ever observed a star evolve from hydrogen, life evolve from chemicals, a higher species evolve from a lower species, a man from an ape, or anything else of this sort.

Not only has no one ever
observed true evolution, no one knows how evolution works, or even how it might work. Since no one has ever seen it happen (despite thousands of experiments that have tried to produce it), and no one yet has come up with a workable mechanism to explain it, it would seem that it has been falsified, at least as far as the present world is concerned. This does not prove it did not happen in the past, of course, but the evolutionist shouild recognize that this means it is not science, since it is not observable. EVOLUTION MUST BE ACCEPTED ON FAITH
