But then, look at the next statement. In Psalms 94, look over there. Psalms 94. I’ve used this many, many times, especially in when I was going to different schools and speaking and look there in verse 9. And verse 9 says this, he that planted the ear, shall he not hear, and he that formed the eye, shall he not see. Don’t make sense that if somebody is going to make an ear they ought to know what it’s for. Somebody makes an eye.

Well, what’s it for? So how can a brain develop something that it didn’t know there’s a purpose for it? Now they often talk about the vestigeal organs that it eliminates from your body. The organs that you no longer have need of or have a purpose. Well you can understand the natural selection. It eliminates something that’s unfit. So nature eliminates the unfit. But it can’t explain the fit. the arrival of the fittest. They can’t explain that. They try to talk about the survival of the fittest.

No, it’s not the survival of the fittest. It’s the arrival of the fittest. How did they ever arrive? How did they ever get here? How did it good get here? And the bad get here, that it was eliminated. Just have a few questions like that. But here in Psalms 94, he says in verse 10, he that chastises the heathen shall not he correct. He that teetheth man knowledge shall not he know. The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man that they are vanity.

See, God knows everything, and there’s things that man does not know. Now, in the middle of that statement of number six, there’s a little statement I have called, how or why should a blob produce an ear without knowing if there is sound. Or why should a blob produce an eye without knowing that there is light? You see, something without a brain I’m supposed to believe produce something like the eye. And like I said before, where did the eye come from?

Well, a light sensitive spot like a freckle. But what if those light sensitive spots had developed in the city of Every time you said, I, you go blind. Isn’t it wonderful that just happened to be right there? My mother has one back here. She has an eye in the back of her head. We knew it because mama saw everything. Nothing to get away from my mom. And next thing you know, she’d be walking up and laughing me upside the head.

You see, your mother slapped you. Yes, she did. I had to mean his mother in the world. No. I had a mother who didn’t put up with no foolishness. And when she said, scat, she meant scat. So look at the next statement. Number seven, after a few thousand years, let’s say that the blob wanted to evolve an eye, which came first, the light or the eye. Because see, an eye has no purpose unless there’s light waves. How does this thing without a brain know there’s anything else to see?

Why develop an eye when it doesn’t even know it’s going to work when you start? And how does it make it work? How does something without a brain start even to develop an eye? Does he know there’s something else to see? Well, who told it? There’s no brain. There’s no plan. There’s no designer. You see, there’s no God. There’s no intellect. Just random chance for a person to be an evolutionist, you’d have to be a fool. A literal fool to believe that evolution is true.

Because see, they can’t answer these things because there are no answers for them. But we can believe because see, we believe there’s a God. And God says, He that made the eye, shall He not see? And He that made the ear, shall He not hear? So what came first? The ear or the sound? Why develop an ear if you don’t know their soundways? Now soundways and lightways are two different things. I can see something and I can hear something, but they travel at different speeds.

And I can really mess you up sometimes. Especially if you’re trying to keep in step in the beats, you know, what you’re seeing in your… So you have something without a brain developing something like an eye or something like an ear. And yet if it has to be developed over years and years and millions of years, if natural selection is true, why doesn’t nature select to eliminate that unfit organ from your body? Because it’s not finished and if it’s not finished it has no purpose.

It’s incomplete, can’t be used. So it would be detrimental to the teaching of evolution in order to eliminate anything that has to be produced over millions of years. And not a little heart of mind that pumps blood through my body. How does it know to pump blood through my body? What came first, my body or my heart? Is it possible that maybe I got them at the same time? See, if I believe in God, it makes sense. But if I believe in evolution, did I get my body?

Did it made first before I got my heart? But the body can’t live without the heart. And the heart has no purpose if there’s no body. And then you break the scientific law of biogenesis. By all biogenesis state that life must come from life and exist on previous life. Now evolution is not scientific because it breaks scientific laws. But when we believe life came from life, we believe God is life. He is eternal life. I am the way that life, that’s who He is.

So life can come from life and we came from life. Everybody in this room, we came from previous life and we eat and live off of that which is alive. We don’t eat wood. Oh, maybe some of you do. But we have to live off of something that is alive. but that’s just the way it is. Now take your Bible-looking Hebrews chapter 3, the book of Hebrews and chapter 3. Now this is just something that’s reasonable for us to understand.

We’re supposed to believe that which is reasonable. God even expects that. When He says in the beginning God created the in the earth? God wasn’t looking for an argument. He assumes you know that. He assumes you know that there’s a God. So when he says in chapter 3, look there in verse 3, for this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses. And as much as he who had built the house had more honor than the house, for every house is built by some man.

But he that built all things is God. But that’s an assumption. If you see a house, you know somebody built that house. I told them one time in Ranch. I says, I was walking down the road one day and low and behold, there was this old dirt laying out there, just laying out there in the field. Just laying there. Next day I came by there and the dirt just started kicking himself out of the ground. And then I saw these blocks coming down the road.

And they, well, apparently, formed the footing, the foundations. I said, but there was no plan. There’s no design. All of a sudden I saw walls going up, but it did it all by itself. And I said, what was really neat is watching those electric wires go up the things and calls over it. And they were making places for lights to be in. And even the thing that developed doors, I mean, all of it had windows in it. But it just happened.

Did nobody planned it? It just happened all by itself. And I said, now, if I keep talking like this, you’re gonna think, I’m either nuts, or I had a vision, or something happened. But there’s no way you’re gonna believe what I’m telling you. Because every house is natural to assume somebody built that. And so when God shows us His world, it’s only natural for us to believe He did that. and God’s going to hold you accountable, He doesn’t have to prove to you and me anything.

He don’t owe us an explanation. He just simply says, I did it. You prove I didn’t. Thank you. Thank you. And I ain’t gonna take and waste my life trying to do that. Number 12, Hebrews chapter 3 verse 4, for every house is built by some man, but he that built all things is God. God assumes that we believe that he made all things, just as we assume someone built the house. Second Peter chapter 3 in verse 4, we don’t have to turn there, but just look at the notes here and saying, where is the promise of his coming?

for since the fathers fell asleep all things continue and in your Bible you ought to underline these three words because this is what they did as they were. If they continue as they were and that is not true because God has brought a flood and things have changed so God has intervened but they did nothing’s happened nothing’s changed. Well, that’s because you’re ignorant and God keeps His promise. God keeps His Word. And what I have here in bold, evolution and creation are opposites.

If you believe both, now get this, it’s a very important statement. If you believe both, then it’s because you don’t understand either one. Because you cannot be, well, God could have created by the process of evolution. No, he did not. So how do you know? He says he took dirt from the ground and he formed it into a body and he breathed into the nostrils and man became a living soul and that’s how he said he did it and that was the first man.

There was nobody else before him. So God’s already said how he did it. And he says on this day he created this and he created it and created it. Now either he’s telling the truth or he’s lying. I believe God tells the truth. Now, down to the the bottom of the page. Romans chapter 1 and verse 20. Look at this because this is so important, a powerful verses here in this book. Chapter 1 is really an awesome chapter in the book of Romans, but he says, for you to understand the gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God under salvation to save whosoever believe it.

But the Gospel in verse 17 and 18, it reveals the wrath of God and the righteousness of God so that people know God is upset. God is angry. He’s angry because of the sinfulness of man, but he sent his son into the world to take care of the sin problem. And he would give us his righteousness. So the gospel includes that. Verse seven, for there is the righteousness of God revealed from heaven. And then in verse 18, for the wrath of God is revealed.

So the righteousness and the wrath both revealed through the gospel. And here’s why God is so upset with the world because he says, I made the world. It’s my evidence. You know it’s true. You ought to believe that it’s true. And he says here in verse 19, because that which may be known of God that you can’t see is manifested by those things that you can see is manifest in them for God, had showed it unto them. The evidence that man needs to know that there is a God is is the world itself.

Look in the mirror. You say, man did that. You know you could have done better, but you look in the mirror and what you see is what you get, but don’t worry about it. It keeps changing. We’re all getting older and some of us, you know, that’s one of the, we’re just gonna die. We’re gonna die. But what is so neat about this verse is it says like in verse 20, for the invisible things of him from the creation of the world or evolution of the world.

Creation. Now you’ll hear some people talk and they’ll even mention it on television about the evolution of the telephone. The evolution of the automobile. Well one I think it’s a misuse of the word. I think it’s the development of a telephone or the development of an automobile. But when you say evolution, did it evolve on its own? Did it create itself? And did that phone, you know from the time we used to dial and then now we walk around with it in our hands?

Did it do it by itself? Or was there an intelligent person at the beginning who designed that thing and made it work? over time they kept developing it and adding more things to it until now we got it that little bitty thing and we can walk around with it and get messages from everywhere. Now that is the development of a telephone but that is not the evolution of a telephone. It did not evolve on its own by itself without purpose, without plan and we’re supposed to believe it did.

You wouldn’t believe that. No more than if I was to take this watch off later up here. And if I were to take all the pieces apart and they all laid over the desk up here, how long would we have to wait before these pieces all by themselves without any outside help? How long did they be before they came together all by themselves? And then they wound itself up and keep perfect time. How long would we have to wait?

Now the evolutionists say, if you have enough time, anything’s possible. But that’s not true. Because the second law of thermodynamics teaches that everything runs down toward randomness and disorder and decay. It’s gonna rust fall apart and it’ll never come together. It’ll never happen. Time is against the evolutionists, not for them. So this watch, it will never be. There is a designer of this watch. Somebody had a plan when they put it together and somebody made it happen. just like these bodies of ours.

Somebody designed these bodies to work. And for all of it to come together, it had to be at the same time. I’m kinda glad. And I don’t know how evolution explains the sex life of the amoeba. How to split up and stay happy at the same time. I don’t know how they can do this. Or at what point did they say, let’s stop doing it this way and let’s do it another way. You be the male, now be the female.

Now how did they determine who got to be the male and who got to be the female, and how did they make it happen? And it had to be happening over millions of years ago, but they died. I have a thought, he dead. I got a thought, he dead. How do they make anything happen? You can’t do it, you’re on the top of the evolutionary and louder. Can you buy a thought? You know, I think I’ll play in the NBA.

I need another two feet. I think I just, I want to like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Phone. No, no. Okay, James Hayslitt. Okay. You can’t do it. There’s just things you’re limited. But anyway, this verse, evolution and creation are opposite. If you believe both, you don’t understand either one of them. And then in Romans chapter one and verse 20, where we just read, these things are clearly seen. being understood by the things that are made. There’s things you cannot see about God, invisible things.

But you know it’s true because of the things that God has revealed. And God says, that is enough evidence. So when it gets down to it, I don’t try to spend too much of my time trying to convince an atheist that there is a God. Cause I don’t believe you really believes that there is no God. I believe that they’re most in time looking for a way to dispel guilt from their mind and sin from their life so they can do whatever they want to do because every man wants to do that which is right in his own eyes.

So let’s just all believe, and they have to teach themselves to believe that there is no God, but there is a God. And I’ve led some of these so-called atheists to Christ, and they weren’t real atheists at all. Now there probably might be somebody who believed that, that’s fine with them. But now looking verse 21, because when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God. They were thankful, but became vain in their imagination. Their foolish heart was darkened, and they became evolutionists.

Now that’s what it says. Now last statement, I’ll just do that in there for you. Now, looking back of your page. Top of the page of fair number 16, by what stretch of the imagination would evolution be considered scientific when it breaks scientific laws? Number 18, evolutionists or atheists must believe that matter gave life to itself because where did life come from? They have never demonstrated that life came from anything. They say they can create life and all they’ve done is take something that is life and split it and try to make it to you.

See, there’s two of them. I made one of those. Everything happens by chance they say. That’s why they need lots of time and yet it’s just the opposite in helping them. Number 19, does a duck have web feet because it takes to the water or does he take to the water because it has web feet? But you know you usually if you make a ship and you design a ship and then you look at it and say now what is this for?

What does it do? Well generally you have an idea this is They go into water and you put it in the water and it works. And a duck has web feet. But that’s because he took to the water. Now he had that before he went to the water. Somebody designed it that way. I believe God designed. Look at the next statement. Number 20, when we are taught that we are just animals, we act like animals, dress like animals, think like animals, and have morals, and I’ll put a few little question marks in there, but what are those?

Like animals. This will eventually be the consequence of following the belief in evolution to its logical conclusion. When we are taking everything that is good, righteous, just, and holy away from the young people today, they are not going to have any moral grounding standing. Nothing to hold on to. There’s no anchor for them. And so they’re all adrift. They’re just drifting. And that’s why they go from one crisis to the next, and they have no stability in their life, and they can be corralled like animals and so forth and manipulated because they don’t think for themselves.

And you have a few people that go in and can stir up a whole crowd and sort of, I just can’t see myself being part of something like that. I see something happening, and I can see what’s going on, I can reason. Why aren’t they getting all excited about this? Just because if even if some policeman did something wrong, how does me going into a building and burning it down and stealing something justify, Well, they shouldn’t have done that.

Well, what did you just do? Hippocretts. And then we have some leaders that justify all of this junk. But you see, you and I are supposed to believe God. And we have something that helps us to restrain ourselves, to give us an anchor. And therefore, we have a rock that we stand upon. So I believe this makes sense. can foregasses give birth to conscience and intelligence and a free will? And if we did come from a one-celled amoeba, what is the product of evolution?

Why are they believing in a God if there is no God? Evolution caused us to believe there’s a God and there is no God. You see, why do we have intellect? What is morality? Who says what’s right and wrong? If there’s a God, we have accountability. Somebody made us. Put us here for a short period of time, and we’re leaving, and we got, as the Bible says, a day in court, and after this, the judgment. So I just wrote down here the last three things here.

Does your life reflect the belief in God or no God? Here you are, you and I, we believe in God. We believe that God’s in His Son, Jesus Christ, down on the cross, paid for our sins. We know that, we believe that, we’re going to heaven. But in your life, does your life reflect the life of an atheist? Who doesn’t know God, does have no God, and does whatever he wants to do with his life? Is it possible that God’s children can have that same basic philosophy to do their own thing and go their own way as though God has nothing to do with it and live a life like an atheist?

Is it possible? You think about that. Do you live as a believer or an unbeliever? How do you live? Do you worry or do you trust? you pray? Does it really matter? I remember some woman making this day but what does it matter? She would have put her over there and said, well what does it matter? Some of you all know what I’m thinking. I can’t believe y’all. Does it really matter? Yes or no. Do you think like a believer or do you think like an unbeliever?

What guides your life? believe the Bible is true? Do you go by? We should. Look up here. Today after the service is over there, I checked the internet. What was on my phone? We had about two or three that indicated the trust of Christ as Savior, the date from the internet. And somebody a couple days ago it was in Sweden, in Sweden to trust the Lord. Then in somebody else, someone other place I don’t forget where it was from.

This hand represents you and me. The wallet represents sin. We all have sin upon us. God loves us. I don’t hear what a person, where they stand. I want them to, God loves you. Despite everything, God loves you. This little message is the most powerful message in the world. It can bring down the most hard-hearted individual. God loves us, hates our sin. The Bible says that we have to be perfect to go to heaven and we’re not. Because we’ve all sinned, we’re all condemned.

God says you cannot earn eternal life. You cannot work your way to heaven. It’s not by your good work, your good life. It is a gift. It is totally free. This hand represents Jesus Christ. He’s the Lord God in the flesh. He came into this world because He loves us but He hates our sins. See our sin separates us from the Lord. So Christ took the sin, paid for on the cross and came back from the dead. And God said if we believe He did it for us, He’d put this payment to our account.

We get to go to heaven, or what Jesus Christ did for us. I have eternal life. And when you trust Christ as your Savior, you are joined together with the Lord. And that is a union that cannot be broken. There is nothing that can ever separate you from the love of God. Once you are His, He said, I’ll never cast you out. I’ll never lose you. I give them eternal life and no man shall pluck them out of my hands.”

That’s the best news in all the world. Let’s pray shall we? With head bow, night, close, and no one looking around. If you’re here tonight and you never trust the Christ as your Savior, would you do that? Would you trust Him right now? And if you will, I’d like to know I’d like to have prayer for you. So I’m going to ask if you will right now. If you’ll trust Christ as your Savior, just to let me know by slip your hand up and put it right back down.

Is there any word at all? Yes, I will trust Christ as my Savior. If you’ve already trusted the Lord, you don’t have to do it again. But if you never have, do it right now. If you’re watching by the internet, right where you are, yes, you can trust Christ as your Savior. That means you’re trusting Him to take you to heaven when you die. You cannot save yourself. This church cannot save you. This preacher cannot save you. Only Christ can save you.

You can’t save you. Your good works cannot save you. You must trust the Lord. Will you believe that when he died, he died to pay for your sins so that you wouldn’t have to do it? And he only says, will you believe it? For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believe it in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Our Father, we thank you again for your blessings. Thank you for our church.
