A war of words exists between those who believe in evolution and those who believe in God. The evolutionists say that all that we have evolved from some nondescript matter which propagated lower forms of life and evolved into higher forms over millions of years. Those who believe in God say that God created the earth, nature, animals, and man, in six days. Whichever one is correct means that the other one is wrong. One requires nothing from man and the other requires obedience to a set of principles higher than man’s ability to create the guiding principles.

Mankind is the highest order of living beings in the universe. Mankind alone has the ability to think, reason, and perform tasks on a level that far exceeds that of the lesser forms of life. It is true that animals can perform tasks and also have some form of thinking at some level, but they are still limited in ability to reason and solve complex problems. If evolution is true then the ability to think, reason, and solve problems would be a natural growth with movement up the evolutionary chain. It appears that the ability to think and reason are two of the reasons that evolutionists fear open discussion of the issues surrounding their belief and God. If a reasonable person examines the facts, it is hard to believe that  inanimate objects came to life and turned into mankind. Yet that is what the evolutionist tries to make everyone believe. Since they can’t explain it, they don’t dare allow any challenges to their belief with the idea that God created us as found in the first chapter of Genesis.   

No matter how fervently the proponents of evolution believe in the process, they still can’t explain a difference that exists between man and animals. It is the knowledge of right and wrong which is the basis for developing a healthy set of moral values. It is again true that animals can be taught rudimentary concepts of right and wrong and will act accordingly, but they can’t reason it out for themselves as do humans.

The evolutionist is hard pressed to explain the moral principles and the associated concepts of right and wrong. If mankind evolved into higher beings that developed abilities to do more complicated tasks due to higher order thinking and reasoning, along with skill development, then it stands to reason that behaviors that aren’t commensurate with higher level development shouldn’t have appeared. But they did. As man evolved up the evolutionary ladder, the behaviors that man possesses to maim, kill, pillage, and destroy multiplied.

The answer for the backward evolution of man’s behavior is found in the book that evolutionists want everyone to ignore. The Bible reveals that, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:23. Sin (deliberate misbehavior known as disobedience to God) is the explanation for the condition of mankind that the evolutionist can’t explain. If they admit sin then they have to admit that evolution is a failure and that it can’t answer the questions of our existence and consequent behavior. Therefore, evolution has no solution for improving behavior and neither does it give any reason for changing it for the better.

There are two verses in the Bible that fit those who believe in evolution instead of God. First, the Psalmist wrote, “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.” Psalms 14:1, and second, “Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool. Ecclesiastes 10:3

No more needs to be said about evolution and those who believe it.
