Genesis 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. 23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. 24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
It's clear that all life was created by God. All the sea and air creatures, all the animals which reside on land and man himself! If God created all life and did that on this planet, how, then, did it come from Mars on a rock? Either God is a liar or science is a fraud! I propose that science is "fraud" and that belief and confidence in science requires as much faith as belief in God. The creation story is more plausible, the "Mars Rock Theory" could never be; based on entropy, probability and lack of evidence that there are intermediate life forms; those aberrations not quite one species, but not another either!
Whereas, science requires air, water and carbon to create life. God created air, water and carbon! For those who believe in spontaneous life, where did the building blocks (air, water and carbon) originate? Scientists would have you believe that cosmic gases accumulated to the extent that gravity from one big black hole compacted the gases and made matter. After extreme gravity collected and compacted the universe into one small massive black ball, a discontinuity occurred, and a "Big Bang" expelled all the matter in the universe and created the constellations with their suns as well as millions of unseen black holes. No attempt is made to determine where the gases originated.
What is a discontinuity? That word of camouflage and deceit means that one time and one time only, the laws of physics and quantum mechanics cease to apply and a scientific miracle occurred! Something happened in spite of science telling us it couldn't! What a claim! What "faith" those scientists have!
Yes, scientists do believe in miracles! However, when it comes to real miracles they turn their deaf ears. Few scientists believe that Jesus was born of a virgin (without the intervention of man) and that Jesus raised the dead again and himself defeated death forever, but they believe a scientific miracle occurred with no intervention whatever, not even by God. The true miracle is not that God could create all things, but that he did just that! The creation is a miracle, but a miracle of God. Is it more plausible to say "It all just happened." or "God made it happen." I submit that the latter offers more credence than the former. Chance is without meaning, God is all meaning!
Some have created a new religion. This false religion believes in a creator God, but one that is limited by scientific thought. Where differences exist, the adherents of this new religion accept the word of science over the word of God. Hence, due to the lies of the scientists, God becomes the liar and those in this new religion have reverence for their idol, the scientist. This is called syncretism and the Jews were punished for thousands of years for accepting two Gods. This belief violates the First Commandment, written in stone by God's own hand. Israel and Judah were destroyed because they accepted syncretism! What does God say about this new religion?
1 Timothy 6:19-20 "O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen."
By the way, this "new religion" is just a repackaging of the religion of old. As the most early idolaters bowed to the sun and stars (astrology) so does the scientist (astronomy). The only difference between the two being that astrologers take it one step further; they believe that astrology influences behavior! Guess what? So does astronomy! Christians behavior indicates that whereas that at one time they had an uncomplicated belief in God, after indoctrination, that belief becomes doubt! Doubt is damning.
Isaiah 47:13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee. 14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.
Isaiah warned those who turned to science, let them save you! (Yes, astrology was accepted as science and there is no doubt that "stargazers" were astronomers). In effect Isaiah was saying "You have turned from God, now let science save you!" He knew that science had no power to save because he added "the fire shall burn them"! Science is the enemy of God when faith is stolen from God and given to the God of chance; fate as it's called. My God is real! Fate is undefinable and irrational. In fact wooden idols have more credibility than does mere chance!
What did God do to the early scientists? He confused them and they still are. Archeology has shown that the Tower of Babel was a zigurat. Extant zigurats have 12 levels with colors of the zodiac on each level and all the signs of the zodiac on the top level. Here's God's dealings with those idolater scientists in that day:
Genesis 11:3 "And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city."
The Tower of Babel was primitive version of today's Hubble Telescope. The scientists wanted to get closer to the heavens so they could learn more about the expanse. That's the very things scientists are doing today with their technology. God was right! "Nothing will be restrained from them!" In effect the scientists at Babel were repeating the sin of Adam. They sought to be as God. They were eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil! Scientists are still doing that, but due to the good things coming out of science, naive Christians accept science carte blanche. Confounding evil with good is the devil's way. He can only deceive you into accepting evil by tempering it with good.
God only slowed the scientist by confounding his language and proximity to one another. Over time technology has brought them back to their original state. That of one language on a small planet. Scientists continue their quest to be as God and unfortunately, even Christians have bowed to their God of Fate!
The inquiring mind might say "What about archaealogical evidence that life evolved?" First off, there is no proof that life evolved spontaneously (chance). It's a theory. Theories can never be proved! Secondly, God is omnipotent! He isn't constrained by the scientific laws which he created. If God is God, and he is, then he has the power to set life in any milieu he wants. God didn't create a world with primordial ponds, he created a world already teaming with life! Yes, God set man in a world where dinosaurs roam (and still do) and giants walked the earth!
Genesis 6:4 "There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."
Deuteronomy 2:20 "(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;"
Not only did giant people roamed the earth in past days, likewise many giant animals did as well! Just as humans are now smaller than giants, likewise today's dinosaurs are too. I propose that alligators are dinosaurs as are anacondas. Elephants, rhinos, ostriches, turtles, and whales are also smaller versions of dinosaurs. The down-sizing of life is what Darwin proposed: evolution of life, not evolution to life! The latter is misappropriated theory. We know that living organisms adapt, but when they mutate, it's toward a more elemental creature, not toward a more advanced. However, it is obvious that the healthier of the species are the ones who "make it". That's "survival of the fittest' and is God's way of maintaining a world with mutations kept to a minimum. That's God's plan!
My suppositions are also theory. I admit that! However, I use God to guide my conclusions. Fate has no place in my understanding of creation! My theory is based on faith just as science is! My theory places man above the animals. Science doesn't! My theory provides eternal hope! Science offers only determinism and despair. Scientists, deceived in their knowledge, will enjoy this mortal life only. Their rejection of God will let them verify eternity, but from a real place called hell. God help them in their unbelief!
