Regardless of what you believe, there is only ONE truth about creation.
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. - Genesis 1:1
I do believe that there has been an evolution, but it’s not the one involving the belief in the “big bang”. The true evolution that has taken place in our world is the one that began with God creating the universe and winding up where we are today - a society so fragmented that “unity” in any belief is almost impossible.
What has happened is that the societal belief system has spiraled out of control, due to people making things up as they go along. Everyone believes in something different. Everyone has their own idea of what’s what, their own way of doing things, and people just accept these new beliefs - no matter how outlandish they may be - out of fear of being some sort of “phobic”. Collectively, this has been referred to as “living your truth” and the “you do you” movement.
What’s REALLY behind everyone demanding that their beliefs be recognized and accepted?
Well…to answer that question, consider who was first guilty of pride - Lucifer, who not only wanted to be like God, but also wanted God’s authority. When he became corrupt and rebellious, God cast him and his angels out of Heaven, and gave him the earth as his domain. From then on, his sole mission has been to turn God’s children against Him, starting with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. God gave man free will so that we could choose Him freely, out of pure, genuine love. Satan exploits that free will in a multitude of ways.
Truth does not change. It cannot change because then, it becomes a customizable concept, making it impossible for anyone to know where they stand. Would that not be the best possible scenario for the father of lies? Watching everyone assert “their” truth, while THE truth becomes so obscure that nobody knows what it is?
Science has become a separate belief system within the realm of God’s creation. Science in its current form, is based on an event that nobody in the history of the world observed. Nobody observed the big bang or the evolutionary process of life from a single-celled amoeba to the human form. The amoeba didn’t sit around, taking notes of the changes in its form over time, passing the pen to each new life form to continue the documentation. Without observable proof, it takes more faith to believe in the theory of evolution than in the belief that God spoke the universe into existence. The gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are a collective documentation of Jesus’ life, His miracles, death on the cross, resurrection, and ascension into Heaven. They were THERE. They witnessed everything firsthand. They died for their beliefs. Ask yourself: would YOU die for a lie or something you doubted?
We only need to look around us to see God’s intelligent design in everything. We only need to look into our hearts and know that the love we feel was put there by God.
To summarize:
God is our Creator.
Science is the study of God’s creation, not a separate belief system to be added to or subtracted from.
God’s Word - written down by man - is THE TRUTH, which cannot be changed to suit us.
We must obey God’s law because it is the only law by which we will be judged to determine where each of us will spend eternity. See my separate posts listing the 10 Commandments, the 7 Deadly Sins.
Every belief that goes against God - the Father, Jesus Christ - the Son, and the Holy Spirit is an attempt, by Satan, to take people away from God. He will lie, deceive, and offer empty promises, but deliver nothing but pain, misery, and separation from God.
Blaspheming the Holy Spirit - willfully denying the gospel after hearing it - is an unforgivable sin.
The ultimate test of this life is to find our way to God, by seeking and recognizing His Word as the only Truth. We must repent of our sins, ask for God’s forgiveness, accept that Jesus is our LORD and Savior, receive the Holy Spirit to guide us along a righteous path, and focus on our future and rewards in Heaven.
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. - John 14:6
