Huge is the debate about how mankind came into being!
Right here in Kentucky a magnificent Creation Museum opened in 2007. Ken Ham, a science teacher in Australia was greatly disturbed by the constant statements in classrooms that evolution was how we got on this earth. His research had shown that there was no scientific evidence to support evolution and he was burdened that so few were speaking out against it. So he began showing the scientific evidence, which supported the Biblical account of creation in the book of Genesis. This would lead to a ministry called Answers in Genesis which has become a worldwide organization that tells the true story of man’s origins. That ministry built the Creation Museum. Not far away, they also built an exact replica of Noah’s Ark; with the aim of showing the scientific evidence that there was a worldwide flood, just like the Bible says.
Is there scientific evidence that the Biblical account of creation is more reliable than the theory of evolution? Consider this: Evolution says the earth is millions, maybe billions, of years old. Since we know the population doubles every so often, why aren’t people standing back-to-back all over the earth? There were only 300 million people on earth when Jesus walked here 2,000 years ago; today there are nearly 8 billion. If the population would increase that much in just 2,000 years, what would have happened in millions of years? Where did all those people go?
But notice who raised the most opposition to these museums which attest to the truth of the Bible: The liberal media and education elitists screamed that these were a ‘dangerous’ idea that threatens to undo their stronghold on education throughout America. In my opinion, their very outcry is the strongest evidence that the Creation Museum and The Ark are teaching the truth—since truth is what they fear like nothing else!
Up until the early 1900s, Americans believed in the Genesis account of creation. Our nation was founded on the Biblical teaching that God had created us as individuals and had a very specific plan for our lives. Likewise, we believed, as the Bible says, that God created “…all nations of men…” (Acts 17:26, emphasis added). We believed that He birthed America for His own purpose of taking the Gospel to the world. Our Founders gained their wisdom from the Bible and thus created the greatest nation in world history. That great work began with them believing that God was both Creator and Judge of men and nations.
George Washington identified this belief when he stated:
“It is impossible to account for the creation of the universe, without the agency of a Supreme Being. It is impossible to govern the universe without the aid of a Supreme Being. It is impossible to reason without arriving at a Supreme Being.
“…A reasoning being would lose his reason, in attempting to account for the great phenomena of nature, had he not a Supreme Being to refer to.”
(Washington, George. James K. Paulding, A Life of Washington, 2 vols. (New York: Harper & Brothers, 1835; 1836), Vol. II, pp. 208-209 | William J. Johnson, George Washington – The Christian (St. Paul, MN: William J. Johnson, Merriam Park, February 23, 1919; Nashville, TN: Abingdon Press, 1919; reprinted Milford, MI: Mott Media, 1976))
Wonder why man will go to all the time and expense to teach the theory of evolution, when neither the scientific evidence, nor the beliefs of the wisest men in history, support it? Funny isn’t it, how the mind can justify anything it wants to in order to avoid facing our Creator, to Whom we owe our lives, at the great Judgment Day?
Think about it; because if you don’t, someone else will do your thinking for you—and for your children! And you won’t like what that brings to you. I’m Don Pinson; this has been Think About It.
