CREATION VS. EVOLUTION
In The Begining
Stop and imagine for a moment nothing, not outerspace or the solar system, but a viod
of light and even darkness. This was supposedly the beginning before the Big Bang. The Big
Bang, as evolutionists call it, is the beginning of all life or matter. The Big Bang is an
understatement. I don't understand why it is called the Big Bang when the actual bang was
supposedly the size of a pinhead.
What caused this impossible, unimaginable bang? And even more impossible is the
fact that something formed out of this bang. It is a known fact that an
explosion destroys matter and any matter that would have been formed, would in like manner be
destroyed. There is also a problem with the ignition factor. There is currently no oxygen in
space, let alone the void of space and light. It would have been impossible for the bang to be
ignited in the first place.
Let's go back to the size of the bang. Scientists speculate on the size of the bang. They
assume it was very small, one of the smallest sizes visible to the human eye, the size of a
pinhead. Why did they just pick a pinhead? Most likely because it is one of the easiest ways for
us to buy into their theory. That this tiny bang created a tiny, tiny thing called the cell. It is easy
for us to lump these two things together. One of the most complex things, the basic building
block for life, the simple cell, as scientists call it, just appeared poof like magic. That's a joke,
the simple cell. Why call it the simple cell when it is one of the most complex things in the
universe?
Now the whole process leading to humans. Let's just assume that the cell or molecule
somehow evolved or formed into a solar system. That thought alone would take faith. More
faith is needed to believe that than to believe in a creator. But, this is the theory that we are supposed
to buy, and millions blindly do. This matter formed Earth and the solar system and millions of
galaxies. If this bang sent all of this matter, cells, or debris flying out away from the center of the
explosion, what would ever slow it down in a galaxy void of gravity? All objects would be
moving away from center and in the same direction, right. Then answer me this question, why are 11
of our solar systems 60 known moons spinning in opposite directions? Two planets in our solar system have
their moons spinning in opposite directions of each other. Why are all the planets, for the most
part, a sphere and able to orbit in exact traceable paths? Wouldn't an explosion cause the
opposite effect? The planets would be anything but in traceable patterns and in a sphere shape.
They would be in disorder and everything would be shaped more like an astroid.
Here is another proven interesting fact. The Royal English Examitories and many other
science groups have been examining the sun for approximately 300 years. Their findings are a
known fact in the science community. The sun is shrinking at a rate of five feet per hour. That's
8.3 miles a year. This is not enough to effect our climate or our current lives. This would mean
thatat only 4 billion years ago, the sun would have been knocking on Earth's door. It would
have disinagrated the Earth right in the beginning before it could evolve.
According to the evolution theory, humans would have had to start evolving at one point. Have
you ever thought about the chances that two human beings of the opposite sex, accidentally
evolved to a perfect stage to procreate at the exact same time? In the same way, mammals
would have had to do the exact same thing. This makes absolutely no sense. Scientists say
that everything went from less to more complex and intelligent. If humans evolved so
unintelligent to begin with, how would we have survived in an ice age with no technology and the
brain capacity of an ape. We would have had to begin created intelligent in the first place to
have survived. Very few people today could live in the extreme cold without protection for more
than a few hours. We are told that these primative men that couldn't even walk upright survived
and flourished. That concept is very hard to swallow.
Now we have to believe the animals evolved in the same way. That would mean that
flowers, birds and insects would have all had to evolve at the exact same time to be bale to
pollinate and feed and use eachother for existance. The odds of that happening would be like
taking a billion piece jigsaw puzzle and dropping it off the Empire State Building and having it
land perfectly put together.
Many people educated in medicine know what a complicated process blood clotting is. It
involves 16 steps. It is not merely blood drying up and scabbing. If you were to take away any
of these critical steps you would surely bleed to death. An evolving human would only evolve
one step at a time. Not all steps would be intact at once. If one step hadn't been there a human
would have bled to death instantly from any little cut. Mothers would have blead to death apon
giving birth. People are told to believe in evolution as a fact, and if you dont believe this lie you
are less intelegent of closed minded. The reality is that the person who investigates and believes
through their own discresion are les easily lead, and are more confident in their creation choice.
To better understand the following paragraph you need to understand the Second Law of
Thermodynamics, a major law of science. This law states that every system left to its own
devices tends to move downward, towards simplification and disorder. This law of science
totally defies the evolutionary theory that we went from simple to complex, from disorder to
order.
Knowing this, let's look at the human eye. It is the most complex part of the human
body. If evolution were true, the most complex part, the eye would have evolved last. There we
are with a full grown evolved man whose eyes, the most complex eyes, are not evolved. How
would he have survive? Darwin himself, in his book, Origin of Species, states on page 239, "To
suppose that an eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different
distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and
chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems I freely confess,
absurd in the highest possible degree." He had hoped for the future to prove his theory and
science has only truthfully disproved it. Darwin also states that he still believes in some way
natural selection had to have taken place.
Another major slam against evolution and Darwin's theory of Natural Selection is the
Trilobyte eye. Trilobytes were insects. The eyes of the Trilobyte have been around, science
claims, for 530 million years and have undergone no evolutionary changes. These eyes rival the
human eye and are so complex they would never have evolved before humans, during the
supposed Cambrian period. This is the same eye system dragonflies use today.
Why so many fossils?
National Geographic has found fossils of animals exactly as they are today that have
undergone no evolutionary changes. Why would these fossils be exempt from evolution unless
the theory is wrong. A grasshopper was supposedly found to be aged 40 million years. The
common ant, supposedly 100 million years old. The common cockroach, was 300 million years
old. The shark was 400 million years old with no changes. This totally goes against the theory of
evolution. Wouldn't it make more sense that there was no change because they are not
hundreds of millions of years old. Instead, they were buried in different soil layers that were
deposited there in a world wide flood,and that many animals are extinc Fossils now because of
this climactic change!
Speaking of fossils. These fossils under our earth along with vegetation trees ext.form a
layer of earth rich in minerals that we use for fuel such as oil and coal. Despite what most
people think coal does't take millions of years to create.Scientists can creat coal in only a little over one week
with the right amount of water natural minerals and pressure. The conditions needed are
verry verry simular to the conditions of a flood.Decomposing garbage can be turned into
oil in the right conditions as well.What makes a fossil a fosssil? the preservation right. It takes the right elements to
create a fossil. what hapens today when something dies it creates topsoil or is eaten it is not
preserved. Think about it, today if we were trying to make millins of fossils quicly what would
have to happen.............. it deffenetrly wouldnt be natural death or our current system of burial
..... it would HAVE to be a world wide flood enoufh to bury life before composing. The flood
would naturally burry fossils in mud clay and silt. its the only real way. it only makes sense that
the Biblical Noadic flood hapened and the evedence is overwelming.
Wooly Mamoths"ICE AGE"
As student we are taught many things that are not proven facts but are let to
believe them you may remember being taught about the woolty mamoth,s or even seen a display with
a petrified +ammoth in a museum. or maybe you seen pictures of them. The w vary fact
that these mamoths are preserved enoughf that we can se a real almost untouched frozen.
many of the mamouth were found not decomposed at all completley flash frozen ith food
still in their teath and undijested food still in their+stomachs. It doesnt take a scientist to
figure out that the mamouth would have had to be frozen very very quickly in a mattter of
minutes. science claims that the mamouths wer from a arctic climate, but yet they were
vegatarians. now if i was a vegatarian the last place I would like to be located is
an arctic region. also the claim that hey had a fat layer under the skin that protected them
from the cold witch is a wery week fact . think of the fattest animals you can maybe the
hippo or the elafant boyth of these animals are in africa with temperatures above 80 deg
every day.So why dont we see elafants or hippos roaming the arctic regions ,becaus it
doesnt make sense. Another fact is that the mamouths have a large coat of hair all over
their body so they figure it was for keeping them warm in fact the mamouth hair was
very very course and was use mor like a radiator. Just beacause an animal has allot of hair
doesnt mean it was from a cold area millions of years ago. Think about it and picture
some of the hairiest animals where they live. for example the lion with its main, the north
american bear, tigers, gorilas ,apes. Archeoploigist have estemated that aprox five million
mamoths were frozen. the mamoths are found still standing upright some with food plants
still in their mouths.You've probrebly heard of the Ivory Mines of Siberia. The romas used to
go up to northern siberia and dig in the ice and unearth mamoths and cut out there tusks.In
one year the romans have record of taking aprx 20,000 pairs of tusks out of these mines.
scientists date these mamoths to be aprox.eight to ten thousand years old very close to the
biblical time line of the flood. if we look to the Bible for the explanation of life it becomes vary
clear and understandable. The bibles states that the earth was in the begining a very lush earth full of vegitatiin
and plants that was watered from a mist over the land a precipitation much like a tropical rain forest .
in the New sibearian Islands they find many animals frozen and incased in ice animals that are in no way suited
for a arctic climate.animals are found such as,Bobcats,Jaguires, camels,and rinos.all thes animals were frozen
and preserved. Arguments are that the island slowly drifted to the polar region and the animals froze. well
that might be possible that the island might have moved but how would all these animals that are not souted for
the cold live and then suddenly freeze on day in a matter of minutes. wouldnt it make more sense to believe a
history that has been written down for us already and is without flaw. It makess more sense that a natural
disaster and a suuden very quick climate chang caused great world climactic changes flash freezing those to
the north and south and drowning and covering with silt and mud others. Believe it or not the arctic regions get
less than ten inches of rain a year and by rainfall it is considered a desert. So how can we account the
thousnads of miles and mountains of ice.Could it posssibly be some remnants of a world wide flood and a
sudden climactic change that left the poles with a freeesing climate.The Bible states that there were three
sources of waater for the flood.thefirstform of water is found in is found in Genisis 7:11.
The first waters The fountains of the great deep were broken up: sounds allotlike our plate theory huge cracks
in the earths crust around all falt lines millions of fosilized diatoms
are foud as well as fish and othetr marine life, at this time the earths crust proke apart and steamig boiling
water shot out of the earth raising all the waters.
The second form of waters came from the windows of heaven were opened up. Creation scientists allong with
a growing nomber of scientists believe in a canopy theory that the earth had a layer of water around it a canopy
that made the earth like a great big green house and equlized the earths temps. the canopy would also allow
for greater oxygen content on earth as well as filtering out harmfull solar rays such as uv rays. there for the
enhabitants of earth would live much longer animal life would get much larger and live longer as well.the bible
says God caused the canopy or windows of heaven to open up and
many belive this was at the polar regions that were hit first,and with the removing of this canopy the earths
climate would drastically change.
The third waters mentiond are the rains.And the rains were apon the erth for fourty days and fourty nights.
All this water at one time would make for a major global restructuring mountains would push up
through the wet soil from Earth,s plate movement.The soils would be very saturated and when the lands would
move or slide it would bens rock layers there are thousands of rockformations all overthe earth that are bent
and twisted forming almost rainbo shapes or even neinty degree angles. If the flood is true you could easily
explain these rockforms that latter dried and formed soilid rock. West verginia has allot of this bent rock
formations and has an interstate highway cut throug this v shaped bent rock.
Grand canyon
Have you ever looked at the grand canyon and wondered how in the world this tiny little colrado river
formed this grand canyon,science explains that over millions of years the colorado river wound it way and
carved out the Grand canyon through solid rock. the problems posed with that htheory iss that the rock is all
sedimintary witch means that it used to be mud, and not pure rock it doesnt show millions of years through the
strata it shows sedimentary deposits left by the flood and the high volume of receding flood waters could have
easily cut throuh these layers forming the grand canyon in a matter of days or even hours.The colorado roiver
area is mostly rock and doesnt erode easily and the only real explination is a major flood.another problem with
the millions of years that it supposedly took to form this canyon is that the begining elevation of the colorado
river is lower than where the colorado river enters the canyon. that would mean that that river would have had
to flow uphill for millions of years before it finally was able to begin flowing downhill again. when you hear the
idea that it the earth is 5 billion years we cant begin to comprehend this number we just take sciences word for
it when in fact the world is realy only around ten thousand years old.science does not allow for natural
catastrophies.If you oignore the flood entirely ya it might look like it, but when you throw the world Flood and
the true written and recorded history in it is much easier to Believe the bible than mans "theory that is taught as fact".
Mt ST.HELLENS "NATURAL DISASTERS"
A perfect example of a natural disaster that rearanged the face of the land in only hours.
Mt. St. Hellens 1980 erupted blowing out the side with a blast equivelent to 20,000 atomic bombs going off at
once inside the mountain.The melting boulders of ice formed huge mud slides running for 10 miles and
blocking the turtle River. The river stopped flowing for five days. After five days the river flooded over the top
and began forming canyons on a smaller scale almost identical to the Grand Canyon, but on a smaller sacale.
One canyon that was washed out of the mud was one hundred and fourty feet deep one thousand feeet wide
and twothousand feet long. The water had so much pressure and force it cut through soolid rock onehundred
feet deep.all thew walls of these canyons naturally sorted themselves out into strata layers and hardened.The
blast blew giant trees down by the millions. Truckers after the blast tried to log the area and remove the trees.
The truckers took out ninehundred loads off trees out everyday for six years and had removed less than ten
percent.You could actually walk across spirit lake on a solid floor of trees.Loggers noticed that all the trees in
the lake were missing there bark and limbs from rolling against eachother. These trees were almost identical
with the trees seen at <specimins ridge>. a team of divers found that in a short time a layer already three feet
thick of bark and leaves was alredy forming.It makes sense when you reed the Bible and it says that whith the
flood the forests of the World were uprooted. Can you imagine these trees that would grow in this perfect
environment that would make Giant redwoods look small. There must have been huge masses of trees floatin
around the watters being slammed into eachother and droppinf off bark. There were probrebly floating logg
masses the size of contenents. Eventualy decomposing and being covered in mud and creating coal and
minerals. allong with the trees thre would have been even more deposits with dead plant life and
animals.scientists obsurved these trees after awhile began to float upright for a period of time and thenfloating
in the upright position root end down would sink and become lodged in the soil. These trees if we didnt know
any better looked as though they grew there. ther are an estimated twenty thousand trees standing upright at
the bottom of spirit lake. Today these trees are barried in 15 feet of mud. scientists have found thousands of
petrified trees throughout the world and they are shooting straut up through many layers of strata
the layers of rock are supposedly around trwelve milllion years old.Now either that tree grew vary slowly or it
was set there wile those strata layers were forming.there are many petrified forests in the world some are in the
us, such as in arizona ,texas,florida Mississippi,and callifornia.Man doesnt want to believe in the truth's of the
Bible because it will mean that they will have an eternal fate and everyone wants to live for the moment and
except everything. In all reality we all are under the thumb of God weather we want to be or not.
comprehend because it makes total sense.
SPECIMINS RIDGE" PROOF OF EARTHS AGE?"
Contrary to what most people think true science not guess science actually proves the
Bible. Many of sciences biggest finds support fully the biblical acount of creation.You may have
heard of Specimin ridge well, sciense calims this ridge of rock that shows layer apon layer of
trees is evedence of evolution that the earth is millions of years old. If you look at this evedence
it does show tree apon tree. When have you ever seen tree upon tree upon in nature???????
NEVER not today. Thats the problem with this ridge it shows no decomposition. Today a tree
dies and it decomposes.Also most of these trees in specimins ridge are totaly striped of bark. The
lack of bark shows that these trees had been slammed around violently.There is no reason that
these trees didn't decompose unless thy were all deposited there at one timeand then coverd
with caly or soot and being preserved... What other major ingredient do trees need to survive ??
dirt right.Well the other problem with the claim that these trees grew and died over time is that
there is no dirt layers burried on specimin ridge only a complete casing of dirt as a whole. these
trees were more likley carried to this piont and deposited there in layers as the water receded.Geoligists have
found that by taking the sedemetary deposits of the Nile River"cradle of civilization"at a specific rate
of deposit per year can acuratley estimate the earth at aprox 10,000 yrs old witch matches the Biblical
Genisis account of creation.
Whats wrong with Evolution
A famouse Quote that fits evolution to a tee."If you tell a lie enoughf people will believe it."
Adolph hitler....Adolph Hitler was a major evolutionist and wanted to sped up the evolutiaonary
process by creating a superior race. He was also practicing Euthanasia a process of killing the
elderly when they slowed society down and became a burden this concept took the world by
suprise and lead to his demise. Since his attempt people have slowly been warming up to the
idea of destroying those whos "Quality of life is not acceptable" Mentaly retarded elderly
termanly ill.
I am always shocked when i hear of a woman right activist that is an evolutionist it makes you
wonder what there thinking when Darwin himself said that any man that has a wife is worse off than
a slave. Darwin married late in life and the only one he could find was his first cousin.
People who blindly follow Darwins belief or evolution are excepting the fact that they as whites by the
way Darwin was white who are evolutionists are supperior and if you are a black evolutionist you are
saying that you are close to ape and the same with native americans mexicans and other dark skinned
races. Thats very sad to think about after all many of our ancestors dark or light skinned died for our
freedoms.
THE ONLY WAY
There are many religions out there to try and believe, and a lot of confusion But trust what you
know.. The Bible has been tested and foud true, and if there is truth total truth in this book than why wouldnt it
have the truth for life eternal.Heres a fact for you to study and look up.Many other " RELIGIONS " claim the
truth, almost all say they are the only way to Eternity, but the bible's true teachings are truley the only way.
People miss the big picture all therse so called religions all teach you can work your way to u -topia or heaven
but the Bible offers a gift if you only recieve it Ephesians 2:8-9 Salvation is not of yourselves it is a gift lo god
not of works lest any man should boast ... The fact that all these other faiths offer little or no prophecy of the
future. The Bible is 1/4 PROPHECY that has to the exact detail come true.
The Bible tells of the wold being round. Not all that long ago man thought the worl was flat,while
the bible told the truth long before man discovered it was round.
ISA40:22 It is he that sittith on the circle of the Earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as Grasshopers;
The Bible tells of how the rains will evap and then go throught the cycle.For more than a thousand
years people didn't know about evaporation and why the rivers didnt run out and the ocean didnt
overflow.The Bible had the answer long ago.
ECCL 1:7 All the rivers run into the sea yet the sea is not full unto the place from where the rivers come
there they return again.
Outer space and the concept of the vastness of the universe was unknown untill the last 100 yrs
or so. Many other religions thought that the earth was carried on the back of a Turtle floating in a mistic sea,or
held upon the back of a Greek God.The Word of God stated over two thousand years ago what science is
just now figuring out.
JOB26:7 He stretches out the North over the empty place,and hangeth the Earth upon nothing.
The Bible is different from every other belief Christianity is not something you're born into or make
yourself good enoughf to be in, So we look to the Bible for the answer HOW MUST WE BE SAVED,and
live in eternity. Well the apostle paul answerd that question,
ththe story is in ACTS16:25 It starts at midnight With paul and Silas singing to god in prison.Suddenly there
was a Great earthquake and the prison doors alll opened and all the prisoners including Paul and Silas were
freed from there chains. Then the Keeper of the prison awoke out of sleep seing the prison doors open and
suposing all the prisoners fled. The Guard was afraid and drew his sward to kill himself Paul cried out in a loud
voice "do thyself no harm for we are all still here. The jailer then came in to Paul and silas trembling. Then he
said sirs "WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED"
Acts 16:31 And they said"BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED"
