The Word of God teaches that everything was created (earth, universe, mankind, animals, etc.,) within the six days of the creation week, as first recorded in Genesis 1-2; Exodus 20:11 and 31:17. God “hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all things that are thereon, the seas and all that is in them, and thou preservest them all.” (Nehemiah 9:6)
Those who hold to the theory of evolution claim that man has evolved from some lower (non-human) form of life. Those who hold that man owes his origin to the creative act of the infinite God agree with the Biblical account, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1)
The Evolutionary theory is faulty at every turn, but is relentlessly held to in spite of the fact that it cannot be observed or proven in the laboratory. Dr. Duane Gish has commented: “Evolution in this broad sense is unproven and unprovable and thus cannot be considered as fact. It is not subject to test by ordinary methods of experimental science-observation and falsification. It thus does not; in a strict sense even qualify as a scientific theory” (Evolution: The Fossils Say No!, Creation-Life Publishers, San Diego, California, 1979, p 21).
If evolution is true we should find a multitude of living forms which shade one into another; monkeys for example into men? One evolutionist says he rejects the concept of creation because it cannot be verified scientifically. Therefore, he automatically rules out the very possibility of creation. It could not have happened because he cannot subject it to scientific tests. Oh really; if that be the case, then the believer in evolution that stays with the scientific tests principle, he must abandon evolution. Dr. Robert A. Millikan, Nobel laureate in physics, has well said: “The pathetic thing is that we have scientists who are trying to prove evolution, which no scientists can ever prove” (Quoted in: Nashville Banner, August 7, 1925). Organic evolution is not a “fact” of science. It is no wonder that evolutionists admit that evolution is a matter of faith which cannot be scientifically proved. God asked Job: “Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?” (Job 38:4) No scientist was there to observe the origin of the universe, the solar system, and our earth. Therefore, it is impossible for any statement concerning ultimate origins to be based on observations by a scientist.
The General Theory of Evolution teaches that the living evolved from the non-living by natural processes. Dead matter created living matter. The evolutionist John Tyler Bonner acknowledged that there is no scientific confirmation of the origin of life. People, there is no scientific evidence which proves that non-living created the living. Evolution can give no answer to the question of how matter came to exist in the first place. The General Theory of Evolution cannot be established scientifically.
Man has existed from the beginning of the creation (Genesis 1:26-27). Jesus Christ Himself confirmed this truth in Mark 10:6 and in Matthew 19:4. He taught that Adam and Eve were made; they were made male and female; and they existed “from the beginning of the creation.” This is the true view of man’s origin!
Isaiah understood that man had been on the earth from the beginning; as he put it, “from the foundations of the earth” (Isaiah 40:21). Paul stated, “For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, (even) his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse” (Romans 1:20). The apostle stated that since the creation of the world the invisible things of God have been: clearly seen; and perceived. Please tell me, who has clearly seen and perceived the things that were made from the beginning of the creation, if no man existed on this planet for billions of years? Paul in this passage without a doubt was teaching that man has existed since the creation of the world.
Now in Luke 11:45-52, the account is recorded of the Lord rebuking the rebellious Jews of His day. But the thing I want us to notice is this: Jesus, in these verses, placed the murder of Abel near the "foundation of the world." Yes, Abel's death occurred some years after the initial creation, but it was close enough to that event for Jesus to state that it was connected with "the foundation of the world." Now, if the world came into existence several billion years before the first family, how could the shedding of human blood be declared by God's Son to extend back to the "foundation of the world"? Man is not a billion years younger than the origin of the universe. Man has been on the earth “from the beginning of the creation” (Mark 10:6); “since the creation of the world” (Romans 1:20); and “from the foundation of the world” (Luke 11:50).
The Bible is not silent regarding our origins. God Almighty created the universe (and everything in it) simply by speaking it into existence. He said, “‘Let there be light’; and there was light’” (Genesis 1:3). By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth... Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast (Psalm 33:6, 8-9). The Bible plainly teaches that God, by the word of His mouth, spoke the universe and everything in it into existence in six days! “O Lord, thou that didst make the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is” (Acts 4:24). “I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalms 139:14). Therefore, man is not the result of evolution; man is the result of creation: “whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yea, whom I have made” (Isaiah 43:7). “Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God” (Psalm 90:1-2).
