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.
God hasn't spoken to me, has he spoken to you? Or if you mean that long tome that was written by sandal wearing sheep herders and fishermen, then I stand corrected.

Calling me hateful is hateful.
“Belief gets in the way of learning.”
Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough for Love, 1973
Hate to tell you this, buddy boy, but that’s a sword that cuts both ways.Because of what you BELIEVE (not prove) you Evos are the most close-minded people on planet earth.

The word ‘evolution’ can be used to describe change at different levels or divisions of animals.
I for one believe that there is evolution, change, within each species. Men can even do this by breading dogs, or cats, or flowers, or very hostile bees with honey bees and creating a Killer bee.
I do not believe in evolution from one species to another.
I think I hear you saying that there are no hateful comments in the RF.
I must disagree.
I think we need to look at it to be able to fix it.
“I think I hear you saying that there are no hateful comments in the RF.” [excerpt]Not what I said, not what I meant.
“As I say, not what he says, but how he says it and how he does it.” [excerpt: #47]In my book, thats pathetic.
I commend to your attention Alexander Kalomiros's "The Six Dawns", which can be read here.
Variation within species is a fact since we’re clearly not clones of each other.
But nothing will ever make evolution a fact no matter how much some people wish it to be. All it is is extrapolation and deduction based on the remains of some long dead specimens.
The Lord works in myterious ways. If he decides he wants to use instant creation of kinds as his method, who are we to argue with his intentions?
What did the first cell evolve from then?
It MUST be; for EVERY media outlet claims it to be so.
But science is faith. It assumes that the laws that we observe in our little niche of the universe are the same every where for (almost) all time.
Scientists are in no position to sneer at faith.
Evo scripture....There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him.
-Professor Bernardo de la Paz, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
If you don't believe all of the Bible, why believe any of it?
If you're going to pick and choose, on what basis do you make the determination of what to call true and what to call a lie?
