Excuses

- The Corinthians had to be:

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?
- How did matter come into existence?
- I accept the Bible because it is a much better basis of faith than any or all theories of evolution.
