Strength For The Journey New Creation People Part 1 August 4, 2005 Is Evolution A Fact?
READ: Genesis 2:1-7, Hebrews 11:1-3
By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God. —Hebrews 11:3The theory of evolution is not without its problems. One scientist says this about life starting on its own: "Amino acids would have to be arranged in an exact sequence to form a protein . . . just like the letters in a sentence. Mere laws of chemistry and physics cannot do that. The probability of a protein forming by chance would be 1064 [10 with 64 zeros after it] to 1!"
Many people assume the theory of evolution to be true. But can it be scientifically proven? Something is considered scientifically true only if it can be repeatedly verified under laboratory conditions. The claim that life sprang up on its own out of a long impersonal process cannot pass this test of truth. That is why evolution remains only a theory.
So if you're ever tempted to doubt the Genesis account of the creation story, consider the alternative. The odds against even a simple protein creating itself are astronomical. How much more reasonable to believe God and His Word: "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible" (Hebrews 11:3).
Isn't it more reasonable to believe that God designed and created the universe? (Genesis 1:1). — Dennis Fisher
All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful— The Lord God made them all. —Alexander
All creation points to the almighty Creator.
So you can’t show us any religious notions in his observations either.
Is this how you truly view Christianity?
“So you can’t show us any religious notions in his observations either.”
If we’re going to post quotes, let’s go right to the source: The bible tells us that pi=3, yet we know that pi is an irrational number that is equal to 3.14 rounded to 2 decimal places. Could the bible be equally wrong (figurative, that is) regarding Genesis?
“Is this how you truly view Christianity? “
No. That’s how many people who practice Christianity competitively conduct themselves. I know many of them. To them, each utterance of the name “Jesus” brings them closer to salvation. It’s almost as though they calculate a “Jesus” density in their speech: Number of times “Jesus” is spoken divided by total number of words spoken. The higher the density, the more likely they are to be above the rapture cut-off line.
And I know far too many waitstaff who have been stiffed by churchgoers with a tract.

You’re going through quite some gymnastics there to avoid the question!
What a shame people are going to churches that say homosexuality is normal, that the way to salvation is by saying Jesus x number of times, and what a shame people think this is what Christianity is all about.
A Christ centered church is the way to go.
It sounds to me like you have a profound teaching opportunity there! Have you pursued any of these avenues open to you?
In looking over this thread I’m relieved to see it’s all science, so far.
The way it was used, the poster was expressing his own opinion (right or wrong) - not speaking for you.
“Sorry, but I ascribe grander powers to God than you do.” [excerpt]But not so grand as to speak everything into existence in the space of six days, like He said He did...
I assume that your statement derives from a belief that every word of the bible is literally true.
“I assume that your statement derives from a belief that every word of the bible is literally true.”LoL!
My assumption is verified. Have a nice night.
“My assumption is verified. Have a nice night.”Exactly how Evolutionists do science!
Are you around any more?
