MY RESPONSE TO AN OBJECTION TO MY CREATION POST
I wrote this comment at Virginia Right to a nice comment on this simulblogged article. I do not have permission to quote the comment; you may read it at Virginia Right.
I do not accept that macroevolution from one group of species to another is supported in the fossil record. I do suggest that the only way adaptations can manifest themselves is through mutations. Heredity cannot produce natural selection. Only mutations can. I cannot look at the remarkable things in the natural world and suggest that it aroise by chance forces. That seems less reasonable than creation. Creationism is the belief that God created the world in six literal days. I agree He did it is six lateral days as He measured time but Einstein’s time dilation effect shows that the measurement of time is relative (hence the name “Theory of Relativity”) thus it is possible that what the scientists measure billions of years is six literal days for the God of the Bible. The Bible even says in II Peter that a day with the Lord is as a thousand years. I suggest the laws of physics support creation; it shows a orderly universe created by an orderly God.
Ultimately, I cannot prove the existence of God or Creation. I don’t want to: Faith is the substance of things UNSEEN. (Heb 11:1) I do suggest in my blog that people should ask the question that the Discovery Channel will not: Were we created? If so who is right? I suggest the Bible is reliable having survived for thousands of years and has some archaeological support. Thus people should turn to Christ Jesus as Lord.
Finally, one more thing: A review of Revelation suggests that John saw a prophecy of future events 2000 years ago. How did he know the Mark of the Beast could be used to control buying and selling. We see the possibility of that even now which is why I criticized Sen. Graham’s idea for a biometric ID card. It makes it more likely sooner that the Mark of the Beast will occur. Revelation also suggests an asteroid will hit the Earth in the end times: “The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water – the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.” Rev 8:10 (NIV) There was no certain proof of meteorites hitting the earth before 1803 in France. How did John know 1700 years earlier?
Thanks for coming by and your well-written comment.
