Creation or Evolution?

By Jesse Jenkins

Benchley, November 23, 2008

  • Whichever you accept, you accept by faith.
  • Evolution is deceptive because it proclaims itself as a single theory when in reality it is a multitude of theories.
  • Unbridged chasms:
    • How did matter come into existence?
      • The evolutionist must start with something, but he has no answer for where that something came from.
      • Theistic evolutionists would say that God created matter.
    • If lifeless matter existed, how did inorganic matter become organic life?
      • Genesis tells us how!
    • If inorganic matter did become organic life, how did this amoeba become complex man?
      • There is no record of one species ever changing to another species.
    • If matter had become life and that life changed from one species to another, one genus to another, etc., where did the soul of man come from?
  • I accept the Bible because it is a much better basis of faith than any or all theories of evolution.
