EVIDENCES

• The Theory of Evolution is widely believed and
  defended
• A few billion years ago - back when Earth was new
  - rivers rolled down from barren mountains into
  great dead seas. Rain-storms squalled and
  lightning flashed. Lava hissed and spewed from
  giant volcanoes.
• Nothing lived on that long-ago Earth. But the
  oceans were astir with promise - they swirled and
  simmered a primordial (all the elements) soup
  that held the raw materials of life.

3

• Somehow, probably in the first billion years of
  our world's existence, that promise was
  fulfilled. A nondescript glob of chemicals
  crossed some vague and wondrous boundary to
  become the first living thing.
• From such unfeeling chemicals, Earth eventually
  filled with a teeming diversity of life, from
  microbes to Men.
• "In the beginning," Robert Locke (Ft. Wayne
  News-Sentinel, 1/26/80)

4

• Gen.11
• In the beginning God created the heaven and the
  earth.
• Neh.96
• Thou, even thou, art LORD alone thou hast made
  heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their
  host, the earth, and all things that are therein,
  the seas, and all that is therein, and thou
  preservest them all and the host of heaven
  worshippeth thee.

5

• Psm.336
• By the word of the LORD were the heavens made
  and all the host of them by the breath of his
  mouth. 7 He gathereth the waters of the sea
  together as an heap he layeth up the depth in
  storehouses. 8 Let all the earth fear the LORD
  let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe
  of him. 9 For he spake, and it was done he
  commanded, and it stood fast.

6

• EX.209-11
• 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy
  work 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of
  the LORD thy God in it thou shalt not do any
  work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy
  manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle,
  nor thy stranger that is within thy gates 11 For
  in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the
  sea, and all that in them is, and rested the
  seventh day wherefore the LORD blessed the
  sabbath day, and hallowed it.

7

• EX.3117
• 16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep
  the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout
  their generations, for a perpetual covenant. 17
  It is a sign between me and the children of
  Israel for ever for in six days the LORD made
  heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he
  rested, and was refreshed.
• MK.106
• 6 But from the beginning of the creation God made
  them male and female.

8

• THE ACCURACY OF ACTS
• Luke, the physician/historian mentions
• Thirty-two countries
• Fifty-four cities
• Nine Mediterranean islands
• He alludes to ninety-five different people,
  sixty-two of which are not mentioned by any other
  New Testament writer
• Twenty-seven of these are unbelievers, chiefly
  civil or military officials
• The book of Acts will definitely stand the test
  of historical examination.

9

• THE ACCURACY OF THE BIBLE
• It doesnt begin with
• In a land far, far awayIt doesnt use
  mythical characters
• It doesnt talk about Never, Never Land
• It gives names, places, dates

10

• EXTERNAL EVIDENCES
• Psm.191 The heavens declare the glory of God
  and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 2 Day
  unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night
  sheweth knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor
  language, where their voice is not heard. 4 Their
  line is gone out through all the earth, and their
  words to the end of the world. In them hath he
  set a tabernacle for the sun

• THEORIES OF THE ORIGIN OF MATTER
• 1. NEBULAR A huge spinning blob began spinning
  faster and faster and chunks began breaking off
  until we have what we have today
• What question doesnt this answer?
• Where did The Blob originate?

21

• THEORIES OF THE ORIGIN OF MATTER
• 2. PLANETESIMAL - An intruder star from
  somewhere else in our galaxy came near the Sun,
  and as it did, the gravita-tional forces that
  were generated produced tidal forces that tore
  material out of the Sun which became the solar
  system
• What question doesnt this answer?

23

• THEORIES OF THE ORIGIN OF MATTER
• 4. ANCIENT ASTRONAUT All we see and are is the
  result of astronauts from other galaxies or other
  parts of our galaxy whose creative activity is
  revealed in us
• What question doesnt this answer?
• Where did the Other Galaxies Astronauts
  originate?

24

• THEORIES OF THE ORIGIN OF MATTER
• 5. CONTINUOUS GENERATION Matter is constantly
  being generated in the cosmos. The process by
  which this creation from nothing is taking place
  is not identified. They dont know!
• They realize it has to have an origin
• But like the Missing Link youd think they
  would have solved the problem by now.
• But anything is better than believing in God
• We know where we originated IN THE BEGINNING

  die. 21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall
  we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
  22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the
  LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass,
  that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken,
  but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously
  thou shalt not be afraid of him.

31

• FULFILLED BIRTH PLACE OF JESUS
• Mt. 21 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of
  Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold,
  there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2
  Saying, Where is he that is born King of the
  Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and
  are come to worship him. 3 When Herod the king
  had heard these things, he was troubled, and all
  Jerusalem with him. 4 And when he had gathered
  all the chief priests and scribes of the people
  together, he demanded of them where Christ should
  be born. 5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem
  of Judaea for thus it is written by the

  shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things
  of him from the creation of the world are clearly
  seen, being understood by the things that are
  made, even his eternal power and Godhead so that
  they are without excuse

39

• A MODERN LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION

40

• I dont have enough faith to be an atheist
• To believe that it was dead, lifeless matter over
  mind that created heaven and earth
• To believe the human body is a matter of
  evolution
• Psm.13914 I will praise thee for I am fearfully
  and wonderfully made marvellous are thy works
  and that my soul knoweth right well.
• Gen.11 In the beginning God created the heaven
  and the earth.
