It would be amazing how anybody could believe in Evolution after reading Grant Jeffrey's book "Creation". There are so many scientists and professors who have given up on the Theory of Evolution due to the surprising lack of evidence, and it makes you wonder why museums, books and schools are still pushing or teaching Evolution.
Consider the miracle of the human brain, which is the most complex structure known to exist on earth, consisting of about 10,000 million nerve cells. Each nerve cell puts out between 10,000 and 100,000 connecting fibers by which it makes contact with other nerve cells in the brain.
Consider the eye, which has a million microscopic optic nerves growing from the eye through the flesh toward the optical section of the brain.
Consider the wonder of conception and birth, and how the creator has designed us so only one single sperm out of millions is permitted to penetrate the ova (which is the size of half-a-grain of salt) to produce a new baby.
How can any sane person say, in just these three cases alone, involving the brain, the eye, and conception and birth that we somehow have evolved from a piece of slime? And now, add the discovery of DNA, which I believe in time, will be the final bomb to fall on Darwinism and Evolution.
But still, many people will not accept the fact that Evolution is dead – or at the very least, dying. Why?
The answer is simple: if Evolution is false, then maybe the Bible is truth!
And that can be frightening for some people. If they are forced to acknowledge that Theory of Evolution is false, then what are they forced to acknowledge as truth? Could it be that the Bible is truth? So many Bible prophecies have found fulfillment during the past two centuries while so much of what Darwin proposed is falling apart during that same period of time. Where does that leave the people who put their faith in Darwin’s theory?
Consider this: for a non-believer, it is less scary to believe that we are descendants of primordial slime then it is to believe that the Bible truly is the word of God. How else do we explain why people continue to put their faith in the Theory of Evolution, when so much evidence has come out against it, even during an era when so many Bible prophecies have found clear, visible, fulfillment?
The fact is that with the recent wave of discoveries involving human biology, plant life, animals, insects, DNA, our solar system and universe, etc., Darwin and his theories of man-from-monkey are fading while at the same time the Bible’s prophecies are finding undeniable fulfillment.
If a non-believer is forced to give up his faith in evolution, what greater fear would he have than to have to accept that maybe the Bible is truth, that there really is a God, that there really is a Jesus Christ, and a Holy Spirit? That person then would have to accept the Commandments, the Sermon on the Mount and the preachings of Jesus.
If a non-believer accepts these preachings and Commandments, then how can he continue to live his lifestyle, his beliefs, in adultery, abortion, pornography, foul language, drugs, larceny, homosexuality, drunkenness, etc. No, he wouldn’t want to give up all this fun because just Evolution is dead, so he would turn his head and close his eyes and ears to all this scientific data and Bible stuff and go on his merry way. Yes, he would continue to listen to all those great liberal talk show hosts, entertainers and politicians that tell him that he is Number 1 in this world, that he can live like a jackass if he wants to. And to do this, he'll sweep all this Creation stuff under the rug.
Because, if he can force himself to believe that the Theory of Evolution is true, then he can convince himself that Creation has to be false. If Creation is false, then the Bible is false. And if the Bible is false, then there is no God. And if there is no God, then there is no Heaven or Hell. If there is no Hell, what does he have to worry about? He could then live his life any way he wants.
Thank you Mr. Darwin, and your pet monkey. My only question is this Mr. Darwin: Did you evolve from your pet monkey? Or did your pet make a monkey out of you?
