A Case For Creation

Perhaps you've heard about the opening, this week, of the new "Creation Museum." It is an effort to show people how scientific evidence shows creation to be the truth. There has been a lot of controversy about this opening. There are some saying that this museum is dangerous, because it ignores science, and could confuse children, and make them think that evolution is not true. Well, the truth of the matter is that believing in creation is not ignoring science, it is taking a different look at it. One of the biggest arguments that is made against creation is the age of the Earth. According to the Bible, the Earth is about 6,000 years old, while, according to science, it is several billion years old. As odd as it sounds, they are both right. Just as God created Adam as an adult, from the first moment, he had the appearance of age, the same is true of the planet, and the rest of the universe, God made it all with the appearance of age. Just as God did not make Adam and Eve as infants and wait for them to grow up, He also did not make the Earth as a newly formed planet, and wait for it to "grow up." This is why science shows the earth to be older than what it really is. The fact is that science has not been able to prove evolution, just that scientists have decided to accept it as the truth, regardless of what the truth really is. You see, it's not really about finding the truth, it's about taking God out of every possible aspect of life. As one of the founders of the museum pointed out, if people realize that God did indeed create all of us, then he owns us, and we need to live according to his rules. This is one of the biggest reasons why people don't want to think that God had anything to do with it, if they admit that God exists at all. I also heard someone ask the other day why we can't just compromise and say that God started it all and then it evolved, the answer to that is, because it's not the Truth. We believe what the Bible says, and the Bible says "In the Beginning GOD created the Heavens and the Earth." And, of course it goes on to tell us how the rest of creation went, and like it or not, honest science will show this to be the Truth.
