your Bible and turn to the book of Genesis in chapter 1. We’re going to cover the entire Bible this morning. You laugh. When I was in school and I did go to school for some of you all that didn’t know that, I remember in say 7th, 8th grade or so where they would teach in us things that I think they’re still teaching in the school about evolution. I remember they talked to us about the Crow man young, the Heidelberg man, the Pitt the Cantapassie rekdis man, the Austro-Lepitthicane man.

And I learned all those words. And never remember the teacher telling us that this is what scientists tell us. And scientists, of course, they were evolutionists. And somewhere down the line, we had this common ancestor and we kind of broke off and you know the apes went one way and we went another way. But we had the common ancestor down there somewhere. Now my relatives, my song by the neck but not by the tail and I remember listening to this and thinking, am I understanding her correctly?

Because remember I wasn’t religious. I didn’t know the Lord. I didn’t go to church and thinking if what What she says is true, I came from a monkey, I came from a monkey. And I’d look in the mirror and say, no resemblance. Of course I was prejudiced. I’d ride home on the school bus and I’d look out on the hills and everybody’s talking to the bus but me, I’m in deep thought. You know, I’m going back a million years and I could see these eight men hitting their and wise over the head and dragging by the head and through the cave, you know.

And I could picture them on the hillside. I could see them. And I used to think, man, that sure would be nice to be there. Man, I love to live back then. Fighting off these great big monsters, you know, these big dinosaurs and all that stuff. It wasn’t long before I started hearing things about the Bible and whether or not it was true. I wanted to know the truth, and I know that I had to come from somewhere. I mean, here I am.

I didn’t make me. Kind of like these two boys that was in school, and they were always in trouble. They were always having to go to the principal’s office. I kind of liked myself. I spent so much time in the principal’s office. They thought I was on the faculty. But these two boys had to be called in because there’s nothing but trouble. And the principal thought, I need to put the fear of God in these kids. So they’re sitting there and he’s talking to them about different things and of course the kids deny everything.

He says, do you fear God? Naturality talked to him some more and he said, do you know where God is? He talked to him a little bit more. Do you know where God is? He finally dismissed the boys and they started to cross the park in London. He says, whew, man, we’re really in trouble now. He says, I know it. God’s missing and they think we did it. Some people think God’s missing and we gotta find God. Like I’m supposed to reach up there and get ahold of God and bring him down here and say, but there he is.

Well, I don’t have any miracles. Somebody who doesn’t want to believe in God, I can’t change your mind. If you want to believe in God, I can’t change your mind. You will believe what you really want to believe. Now here in the book of Genesis it makes the statement, in the beginning there was a blob of protoplasm floating around in the use of an owl. And all of a sudden there was a big bang, bang! And life began. Is that what your Bible says?

No, my Bible says, in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. It’s just God, it doesn’t go into an explanation of who’s God. It just tells you He did it. God, in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now you know what? I believe that. I really do. Take your Bible and turn to the book of Colossians in chapter 1, the book of Colossians. The book of Colossians in chapter 1, and look there in verse 15.

Now we know that the world is here. Now the world was either made by somebody or somebody made it. It was either made by somebody, or I guess you should say it made itself. Now if the world is here and there There is no God. There’s nobody that can take credit for making it. Then it had to create itself. Does that sound logical? Does that sound reasonable? To a reasonable thinking man. That the world created itself. Have you ever seen anything create itself?

You never have. Why would you start now? Just because some Lulu in a school says there’s no God. and that you were just an accident that you might have been. But you are here. Did I say that? Look at verse 15, who is the image of the invisible God talking about Jesus Christ, the firstborn who is the architect of creation. For by Him were all things created that are in heaven and that are in earth. Well it says in Genesis chapter 1, God created the heavens and the earth.

Here it’s saying Jesus Christ created. Everything has been made. Heaven or visible, invisible. Whether there be thrones or dominions or principalities or607, get that all things were created by Him and for Him. So if you ever wondered who did it, I got the answer. He did it. God created the heavens and the earth. In the first Peter chapter 3, it talks about the people saying, well all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation. Doesn’t say evolution.

It was created. God created the heavens and the earth. The Bible says that He created man. And I’ve told you this before, but whenever God was able to take the dust of the earth and breathed into the man’s nostle he formed a body and man became a living soul. Well, their scientists today think they can duplicate what God has done. They can make a man. They can clone a man. So they told God, we don’t need you anymore because we can make a man too.

God says, let’s have a contest. So God says, okay, we’ll have a contest. So he took some more dirt and he made another man And just like he did the first time. So the evolutionists got ready and they’re Santa, they got ready to make their man. So they took some dirt and God says, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, get your own dirt, get your own dirt. Well, we can clone a man from what? Nothing? Try it.

They can’t do what God did. God created the heavens and the earth. And he says here in verse 17, And he is, get it before all things. And by him, all things consist or held together. God doesn’t spend much time arguing with a fool. He states it, and that’s it. I don’t spend much time arguing with the fools either. Because the Bible says a fool have said in his heart, there is no God. So when a man says there is no God, he is a fool.

And I don’t really like to spend a lot of my time arguing with a fool. Now somebody who really wants to know truth and they’re searching, that’s one thing. But some people are just too smart for their own good. Now we say that a belief in God, we call it theism, means that I believe In God, atheism don’t believe in God. The world is here. Either evolution is true and the world made itself or somebody made it. And since I believe in God, I can believe that God did it.

And because I have faith and the evolutionist has faith. He has the belief that it came from whatever. He hasn’t had it in the story. with. At least I have faith in something that was here that claims to have done it. So I ought to at least listen to the testimony of the one who claims to have been here. And that was God. So it’s good that sometimes let God speak. See what he says. What are the evidences that God would use to convince a person that he is for real, that he really did do it?

And I think those those things are revealed. God has given to us His Word and the world. So with the world, we believe that we can use reason. The power of a man’s mind is conscious to think because of what he sees. There must be a God. And so by the very nature of the fact that the world here, God has given to us a world that reveals there must be a God. And God has given to us His Word by revelation.

So one is by reason, one is by revelation, where God reveals to us in His Word what God hath done. So if God made the world and God made the Word, then the world and the Word ought to agree, and they do. When it doesn’t agree, it’s because there’s false science that doesn’t agree with true science. True science and the Bible agree perfectly. We call that biblical theism means that I believe what God says from the Bible. And I believe in naturalism, or I should say, is naturalistic theism because it deals with the world that God has made.

See in nature itself and see in the laws, or nature’s laws as we call them. We know that somebody had to make all these things and it didn’t just happen. So whenever you want to start at the very beginning, where would you really start? Back there where there’s a lot of protoplasm floating around in the ooze of the Nile. Suppose of this year, big bang theory and the gases came together. Okay, where do gases come from? Well, they don’t know.

Were they there? Oh, no. How do they know that’s why I started? Well, they don’t know. So they’re guessing that’s why it’s called a theory. It’s not fact. Evolution is not a fact. It’s never happened, never will happen. It is not happening. There is no such thing as evolution. Now when we talk about the evolution of the telephone, the evolution of the car See this evolution, it is not. It’s the development of a telephone. The development of an automobile did the telephone create itself?

And when it got into a different did it do it all by itself? Then that’s not evolution. There is a man behind it, an idea, somebody designing. It didn’t happen by itself. It wasn’t random chance. It was done with a design in mind. There’s a purpose. Now, won’t you take your Bible looking the book of John chapter 1, the Gospel of John and chapter 1. John chapter 1, just look what God said in His Word. And John chapter 1 says, in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.

Now if you have a Bible that says anything else, throw it away. Throw it away. If it says, He was A God, throw it away, throw it in trash. That is not the Bible. That’s a translation of somebody who has an ulterior motive in order to make money by copyrighting it, and that’s not in the book. I just thought I thought that that there was no extra charge. Now get it. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him and without Him was not anything made that was made.

This time I’m at the Lord. And look what he says here in verse 10. He was in the world. And the world was made by him and the world knew him not God, made the world, and then came into the world and took upon flesh. And it says in verse 14 where it makes the same and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Jesus Christ created the heavens and the earth. Jesus Christ in the beginning it was God and He came into the world that He made and took upon flesh. Jesus Christ is God. Now if people do not believe that, I can’t help that, but I believe it. There was a time when I didn’t know any of this, but there’s something inside of you that says, you know, this is truth, this is truth, this is truth, and I can’t make people believe truth.

Even God doesn’t make people believe the truth. God will allow a person to believe a lie. So many times, whether you want to do right depends upon what kind of a God you have or not. And so your morality in many cases dictate your theology. You’ll We’ll figure that out after a while. But God created the world. Now the world is here. And let’s go back to the beginning. Back to the beginning when there wasn’t anything. Now if I believe that in the beginning God, in evolutionist in the beginning zero, now which requires a greater miracle?

nothing to create something or for somebody to create something, which is easier. There’s require a greater faith, requires a greater, greater miracle than the miracle of creation because at least we believe there’s a create per that created it. They believe it happened all by itself. Now that taxes my imagination that somebody could think I’d be so naive is to believe that slop. And that’s what it is. That’s humanism. Because see, if you don’t believe in God, you’ve got to explain where you came from.

Well, if there is no God, then there’s no law giver. There’s no designer. There’s no planner. There’s no life-giving force. Or explain it. Here we where do we come from? And they have no answers. They have no answers. They go on nothing but a little geological circle. And the biggest thing they have in their favorite they think is these bones that they find. Bones. Bones. They can do more than what God did. God at least took dirt from the ground and formed a body and breathed in his life the breath of life and name him a living soul but now evolutionists can take the tooth of a wild pig and call it the Nebraska man and make a whole family and put it into the textbooks.

What if he’s me? I will swallow. Oh and many people do. Take your Bible and turn to the the book of Job, the book of Job, all the way back there in the Old Testament. Job chapter 38, it’s easier to believe that somebody made this world. You say, why? Because it’s here, I didn’t make it, did you make it? Well, if I didn’t do it, you didn’t do it, what somebody had to? You said, well, it made itself. Have you ever seen anything make itself?

No. Why How would you believe that? What would be the evidence that you would use as the foundation for your faith? Here in Job in chapter 38, I want you to look there in verse 3. He says, good up now, by loins, like a man. In other words, when he sends act like a man. For I will demand of thee and answer thou me guts. And I got a couple of questions I want to ask to Job. He says, where was thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?

Declare if thou hath understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? What holds the earth together? What holds everything together instead of it flying off into the space? What holds all these, you know, the orbits of the sun and the moon and the stars and everything, the earth? What holds everything together? He said, where were you when I did all of that? Okay. At least we have the testimony of an eyewitness.

And that’s the law. So as we read the evidence, we ought to at least consider it. And whenever you consider it, when you come up with one conclusion, God created the heavens and the earth. Only a fool would believe otherwise. A person that’s something’s wrong upstairs, they can’t see it and understand it. They all try to make you think Christians are the ones that are uneducated, living in the dark ages, believe it or not, old book. Yeah you disprove this old book, double dog barrier, they can’t do it.

The book is true, historically, scientifically, prophetically, medically. The book is God’s Word, and this is true as the world. And the world gives evidence that there is a God, and so does the Word, and they both work together. One by reason, one by revelation, and we can know and understand it. So we go back to the very beginning, and there has to be something that calls it to but let’s just pretend for a moment. Because they work on the premise that everything just gets better and better and better and better and better and better.

You know it was a little one sale to me when they did multiply and blah blah blah and then here we are. Let’s just pretend that this little blob of protoplasm, whatever it might be, wants to develop something wonderful like an eye. An eye. I’ve got one, but I got two. Y’all have two, I guess. My mom, I had one in the back of her head. She could see everything I ever did. But you have an eye. Now where did this eye come from?

A light sensitive spot like a freckle. I saw a girl one time. She could have eyeballs all over her face. She had freckles all over. But I don’t believe that. Aren’t you glad that those two little freckles happened to develop right there? What if they had developed in your seat in your pants every time you sit on you go blind? But you think about this. You have the eye. Where does the eye come from? Well remember in evolution there’s no purpose, no plan, no design because that means a purpose, somebody got a plan, a planner, a designer, a logist, but there’s no, it just happened.

How do you know to develop an eyeball that has no purpose if there’s no light waves. If there’s no light waves, you can’t, this has no purpose. Well, who came first? It’s stupid how that something without a brain could develop an eye and hear all of you are here with a brain and you can’t do it. But something without a brain did. Explain that. See, that’s why every step in evolution requires a greater miracle than God created. Because there’s a, it’s impossible.

Impossible. Can you happen? Take your Bible and look into book of Psalms 94. Psalms 94. 94th Psalm 94. Psalms 94. And look in verse 8. Understand Yibruch among the people and Yifu’s. When will you be wise? He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see? In other words, the Word of God tells us, God said, I made the eye and I made the ear. Well, of course, He made the light waves and He made the sound waves.

So we have evidence that this is true because how is a blob of protoplasm without a brain going to develop an eye and yet you doesn’t even know ahead of time that there’s light. How does they even know there’s something to see? Well it would come first. It’s impossible. Well what about the ear? What came first? The ear or sound waves? How does it know there’s something to hear? There’s no brain. How can something that has no ability whatsoever can create something as wonderful as the eye or the ear.

Just those two things along defeats evolution. So it just happened. No, it doesn’t just happen. Have you ever seen a new ear come along? Nothing just the ear. How long has it been since you woke up in the morning and you look on the countertop and let me know a new eye disappeared? Well, if it happened billions of years ago, how come we still don’t see them happening today? See, I have an inquiry mine and I want to know what demands the faith of an evolutionist because the only only way to do it is to alternative is God.

The only alternative is God. And if there is a God, then there’s creation. If there’s creation, then I’m responsible. And they don’t want the responsibility. They want to live like an animal. I think for a moment. There is no God. There’s no Creator. we are animals. You are an animal if there is no God. You’re just the highest form of life on some evolutionary ladder. And if there is no God, then what is right and what is wrong? Everything’s a dirty grace.

Whatever you want, power will make right. And this This is why some people will live like an animal and they think like one. And it doesn’t matter what they do or who they do it to because there’s nothing to restrain them so people can do whatever they want to do and control everybody else if they want to, murder anybody they want to. But I happen to believe that there is a God. How would you explain the immaterial part of man?

You know the soul of man or the life that a man has. His emotions that he has, his will, his intellect. Things you can’t touch, put your finger on it. Where did it come from? Am I supposed to believe that four gases developed this? You see there’s a few laws. One is called the law of biogenesis. The law of biogenesis state that life must come from life and exist on previous life. That’s a law. Life must come from life.

Nothing comes that’s alive from something that did not live. You are here because you came from life and we have a problem. You see, they can’t break or cross the bridge, the barrier between non-life and life. can’t do it. And yet we’re supposed to believe that’s where we came from. They can’t do it today and they’re the highest on the evolutionary ladder and the scientists today cannot produce life from non-life. Can’t do it. They talk about how can we can split the DNA and all these wonderful things that are able to do.

Yeah, take it all away. Now produce one. You see what it’s called the survival of the fittest. It’s not the survival of the fittest. It’s the arrival of the fittest. How did it arrive? I’m not talking about where they can shuffle the genetic factor within the chromosomes and all that and try to create. That’s what’s already here. But they are not creating anything.
