CREATIONISM VS EVOLUTION (2)

 

    

By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi 
     The biblical records of creation forms the bases for the gospel and during His earthly ministry Jesus made ample reference to them ( John 5:46,47,Matthew 19:4,5) . The universe was created and is sustained by God’s com.ken word (Hebrews 1:3,11:3,Ps.33:6,Col.1:17) 
      God owns and rules the universe and can do whatever He desires  (Psalm 135:5-7) He is sovereign.The scientific ' law of cause and effect ' says to every effect there is a cause. Logic does not allow for multiple causes to an effect just as two women cannot be pregnant with the same baby .The universe is the effect of God's creation and God is the cause therefore He cannot be created.  There is no other God above Him and none besides Him (psalm 95:3, Jer.10:11-13) therefore He demands recognition and deserves reverence from His creations ( psalm148:5,Isaiah 48:12-13 ) because He has rights of ownership (Psalm 50:10-12) . It is therefore an exercise in futility to strive or disagree with God ,the scriptures says in Isa.45:9 "Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker!  Let the  potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to  him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no  hands?" Atheism is an exercise in futility , it is the devil's grandest deception, with the intent of denying Satan's  existence, if God does not exist it therefore follows that Satan, evil  and demons do not exist and if that be the case we are left with the moral problem of knowing what is good and what is evil ,since there is no transcendent authority to enforce and define meanings. .That is what atheism teaches.
         The creation process was a supernatural event that involved the manipulation of matter , time and space .Scientifically, time can be manipulated by altering displacement (space) and speed variables. For example, by speeding up the video camera, a two hour movie can be viewed  in less than fifteen minutes with all its qualities intact,  likewise, God is all powerful and all knowing and could speed up or reduce the geological time process while maintaining the qualities of the elements involved. It is against this backdrop that the days of Genesis chapter one aren't necessarily geological ages given that plants were created on the third day and they need sunlight to survive meanwhile the sun was created on the fourth day(Gen.1:11-19). Plants cannot stay without light for more than 24 hours which rules out the application of geological ages in the creation process. Scientific discoveries agree with creationism  from the fossils of giant prehistoric animals (Gen.1;21,Job 41:1-34,40:15-24)to biodiversity (Gen.1:11,12,21,24,25) Jet stream (Ecc.1:6)hydrological cycle in meteorology  (job36:27,28) and the earth's axis of rotation (Job26:7)

   Doubt for God is as not believing in His existence Heb.11 6 " But without faith it is impossible to please  him: for he that cometh  to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that  diligently seek him." Through Jesus Christ ,a personal relationship with God is achieved through a logical and living way.
