Faith In God Or Evolution?

• Which is fact and which is fiction

3
Faith in the Existence of God

• Cause and effect gives evidence.
• Hebrews 34 Psalm 191-32.
• Man is moral creature, has within self likeness
  to God
• Genesis 126 James 393.
• Man is a worshiping creature.
• God has revealed Himself.
• Through "natural" revelation, by things which
  He made. Acts 1417 Romans 120
• Through "special" revelation, the Bible.

4
Faith In Evolution

• Religion - "A cause, principle, or system of
  beliefs held to with ardor and faith." (Webster's
  New Collegiate Dictionary)
• That matter is eternal
• That lifeless matter accidentally stirred around
  and brought forth life
• That first accidental life survived and
  multiplied in self-reproduction
• That the accidental life survived,
  self-multiplied, and evolved itself into bigger
  and better life forms
• That the accidental life survived,
  self-multiplied, evolved itself into bigger
  and better life forms which brought forth humans
  with intelligence
• That some of these intelligent humans are so
  ignorant that they imagine there is a Higher
  Being.

What are the Implications?According to leading
evolutionists

• Richard Dawkins, Oxford "alleged human bones in
  the Carboniferous coal deposits. If authenticated
  as human, these bones would blow the theory of
  evolution out of the water." (Free Inquiry, V.21,
  No.4, 10/11/2001)
• Richard Dawkins, Oxford "there are certain
  things about the fossil record that any
  evolutionist should expect to be true. We should
  be very surprised, for example, to find fossil
  humans appearing in the record before mammals are
  supposed to have evolved! If a single, well
  verified mammal skull were to turn up in 500
  million year old rocks, our whole modern theory
  of evolution would be utterly destroyed.
  Incidentally, this is a sufficient answer to the
  canard, put about by creationist and their
  journalistic fellow travelers, that the whole
  theory of evolution is an 'unfalsifiable'
  tautology. Ironically, it is also the reason why
  creationist are so keen on the fake human
  footprints, which were carved during the
  depression to fool tourist, in the dinosaur beds
  of Texas," (The Blind Watchmaker, 1986, p.225)

What are the Implications?According to leading
evolutionists

• Steven M. Stanley, Johns Hopkins University,
  "There is an infinite variety of ways in which,
  since 1859, the general concept of evolution
  might have been demolished. Consider the fossil
  record--a little known resource in Darwin's day.
  The unequivocal discovery of a fossil population
  of horses in Precambrian rocks would disprove
  evolution. More generally, any topsy-turvy
  sequence of fossils would force us to rethink our
  theory, yet not a single one has come to light.
  As Darwin recognized, a single geographic
  inconsistency would have nearly the same power of
  destruction." (The New Evolutionary Timetable,
  1981, p.171)

What are the Implications?According to leading
evolutionists

• NOVA TV Special, God, Darwin And The Dinosaurs,
  "...dinosaur footprints, side by side with
  humans. Finding them would counter evidence that
  humans evolved long after the dinosaurs became
  extinct and back up...the claim that all
  species, including man, were created at one
  time."
• Ernst Mayr, Harvard, "Creationists have stated
  that humans and dinosaurs were contemporaries in
  time...Were this momentous statement true the
  names of its discoverers would thunder down the
  corridors of time as individuals who made one of
  the most outstanding discoveries of the twentieth
  century." (Gish-Mayr Debate, Evansville,
  Indiana.)

What are the Implications?According to leading
evolutionists

• Niles Eldridge, American Museum of Natural
  History., "We have been looking at the fossil
  record as a general test of the notion that life
  has evolved to falsify that general idea, we
  would have to show that forms of life we
  considered more advanced appear earlier than the
  simpler forms." (Monkey Business, p.46, 1982)

Now The Facts

• Official World Site Malachite Man
• Skeletons of ten perfectly modern humans have
  been excavated from fifty eight
  feet down in the Dakota Sandstone, over an area
  spanning about 50 by 100 feet. This formation is
  a member of the Lower Cretaceous, supposedly 140
  million years old. It is known for its dinosaurs
  and is the same formation found at Dinosaur
  National Monument. At least four of the ten
  individuals are female. One is an infant. Some of
  the bones are articulated. Some are not,
  appearing to have been washed into place. No
  obvious tools or artifacts were found associated
  with the bones. The bulldozer driver who
  uncovered the first bones in 1971 expresses
  certainty that there were no tunnels or cracks in
  the extremely hard overlying layers of rock. The
  bones are partially replaced with malachite (a
  green mineral) and turquoise, thus appropriately
  named "Malachite Man".

Now The Facts

• Max Han found a rock with wood protruding from it
  When rock was cracked open,
  this octagonally shaped
  iron hammer was exposed
• Wood handle is partially coalifed with quartz
  and calcite crystalline inclusions. Tests
  performed at Battelle Laboratory document the
  hammers unusual metallurgy, 96 iron, 2.6
  chlorine and .74 sulfur (no carbon). Density
  test indicate casting of exceptional quality. A
  unique coating of FeO, which does not readily
  form under present atmospheric conditions,
  appears to inhibit rusting
• Enclosing rock contains Lower Cretaceous
  fossils. It is a concretionary sandstone nodule
  from the nearby cliff which is made up of
  concretionary sandstone nodules
• Cliff is part of Lower Cretaceous Edwards
  Plateau which evolutionists tell us was formed
  140 million years ago, when dinosaurs roamed
  earth. Of course, coexistence of humans and
  dinosaurs would destroy evolutionary theory

Now The Facts
Fossilized Hand PrintThis fossil of a perfect human handprint shows astounding detail. Even print of thumb nail is seen. Found in Glen Rose limestone, designated as Middle Cretaceous, supposedly 110 million years old and contemporary with dinosaurs!
Taylor Trail Series of 14 human footprints with
at least 134 dinosaur tracks in the bed of the
Paluxy River, near Glen Rose, TX
McFall Trail Recently discovered series of 15
human footprints on Upper Taylor Platform in bed
of Paluxy River, near Glen Rose, TX
13
Now The Facts
Ryals Track Human footprint across dinosaur
footprint, about 30 from the Taylor Platform in
bed of the Paluxy River, near Glen Rose, TX
 
 
New Mexico Track One of several very shallow but
almost perfect human tracks found in the
mountains of New Mexico in the Permian
(supposedly before the dinosaurs)
 
Large Cat Track Just as devastating to
evolutionary theory, this large mammal track is
from Cross Branch, a tributary of the Paluxy
River, near Glen Rose, TX
14
Now The Facts
Coal Is Not Old This small iron pot was imbedded
inside a single lump of coal.
Wood embedded in "110 million year old
limestone Radio carbon dated at 890 years old!
Mt. St. HelensNew Mt St. Helens lava dome formed
in 86. 1997 - 5 specimens taken from dome at 5
different locations subjected to conventional
Potassium-Argon dating. Results indicated ages of
less than 1/2 to almost 3 million years, all from
11 yr old rock
We know when this dome formed. When we date rock
of known age we test the claims and we see
obvious failures. But, when we date rock of
unknown age, we are assured that the results are
accurate.

If Evolution Is True

• There is no such thing as right and wrong.
• Anything from murder to adultery is permissible
  because man is not accountable to anyone.
• All laws are self-imposed by whatever any given
  society or government decides.

16
Man manufactures his own god

• Some modern-day views of God are
• The god of my health and wealth.
• The god of my emotional needs.
• The god of my gender.
• The god of my sexual preference.
• The god of my religious preference.
• God should never be made to conform to our ways
  ideas
• He is changeless. Heb 138
• He is beyond our comprehension. Job 117-9
• His power is infinite. Rev 196
• His revelation reveals His will. Eph 31-5
• All men accountable to Him. Heb 413 Rom
  1411-12

17
Conclusion

• Bible spends little time in proving existence of
  God
• God's existence stated as fact from very
  beginning e.g., "In the beginning God" Gen.
  112. Rom. 120-22 says that the things which are
  made prove the existence of God, and for one to
  claim otherwise only proves him to be a fool and
  without excuse.
• Evolution is a system of faith just as
  Christianity is
• If evolution is true, there is no right from
  wrong.
• Don't like laws of land, change to please
  yourself
• Many believe in God, they dont truly know Him
• Have fashioned God into what they think He ought
  to be
