For example, did God literally say "Let there be light"? Does God literally breath literal air from a literal atmosphere, and pass it through literal tubes in his literal chest, and make literal sound with a literal voice box, and make literal syllables with is literal tongue and literal lips? Is that what it means when it tells us that God "said" something?
Matthew 19:4
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
It is the supernatural power of God that created the natural.
Since no man was there and knows anything about the supernatural that took place to create the natural, then you have the only true witness that is the Genesis account.
However today prophesying Christians unwittingly deny the past, present and future supernatural power of God by trying to apply naturalistic causality to what was immaterial to begin with.
God is Spirit (John 4:24) and is omnipresent and when his Holy Spirit put into action the natural processes that operate as clock work yesterday, today and tomorrow, then we need to agree that the immaterial brought about the material. So if the immaterial brought about the material how then can you use the material equation of naturalistic and deterministic approach to arrive at the truth of the matter?
It is obvious the material, naturalistic view that is dependant on a deterministic approach cannot not venture into explaining what is immaterial, because as far as the naturalistic equation is concerned the immaterial does not exist if it cannot be weighted and quantified according to atoms, molecules and sub molecular particles.
Therefore to deny the Genesis account is to unwittingly deny God's past, present and future power and to side with the materialists.
This is a wake up call to awaken the senses to the futile direction materialists are heading with this deterministic approach to God's supernatural power that created the heavens, stars, earth, beast and man.
Next thing they are going to say is God created everything using evolution. This is a lie!
You can't use the equation for a circle to prove a square.
The affirmation of creation according to the Genesis account is conveyed clearly by Christ.
If Christ says that male and female were made AT the beginning then there is no significant time gap between when the earth was formed supernaturally to when the first man and women were created. Simply they were made AT the beginning and not some millions of years after in a primal evolved state requiring millions of years to be perfected.
Every day that God creates something it is confirmed with a good meaning perfect for it required no perfecting with time as the equation of material evolution suggests.
The fact is that the world is deteriorating and not evolving as we see mass extinctions around the world before our eyes. Are the evolutionist scientists going to come up with devolution. Notice both EVILution and DEVILution have one thing in common they originate from the author of evil, the father of lies, Satan.
Revelation 14:7
Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
Satan has found his way into our schools by educating our children to worship the naturalistic material world called MOTHER NATURE rather than FATHER GOD who created the heavens, stars, earth, man and beast.
It is a form of idolatry on a global scale. This is Satan's doing and those who support evolution and do not believe on faith alone the Genesis account, then how can they believe the remaining witnesses testimony from God in all of the Old and New Testament scripture.
It flies in the face of truth that only a hypocritical mind would believe the contents of a book and any book in that matter published by an author without believing in its introduction.
How could a prophesying Christian in their rightful mind NOT ENDORSE THE GENESIS ONE ACCOUNT as the introduction to the SUPERNATURAL author of the book called the Holy Bible.
It is a hypocritical lie in believing the content of the book but not the INTRODUCTION OF THE SUPERNATURAL author, God the Father, that authored it. The statement that is unwittingly been made by a growing number of prophesying Christians is that we do not believe to the truth of the GENESIS one account on faith value alone, but we believe the content of the Holy Bible thereafter.
If you can't believe what God who is the author of Genesis account testified of himself, then how can you believe the contents of the remainder of the Holy book that is written by the same SUPERNATURAL author. What a confused and mixed up society this Luke warm Christian generation has become in not giving credit to where it counts and that is to God who made the heaven, and the stars, and the earth, man and beast.
No wonder the end day point of contention will be the QUESTION OF WORSHIP:
I am running into more and more people that believe in both the theory of evolution and Christianity, or at least a form of Christianity. But I am having a difficult time seeing how the two coexist. It is almost a logical conclusion that Genesis is discarded, for the most part, in an evolutionary mindset. So then where does Original Sin come from? And what about the many New Testament references to Genesis?
It is not difficult to adopt this mindset. We are bombarded with evolutionary teaching at every turn, including children's programming on TV. In fact I even had my doubts. But then I started looking into the origin of life itself. What I discovered was that to believe in life "just happening" in millions, billions, or even trillions of years takes a lot more faith than I could ever muster. Google "Intelligent Design" and "The Discovery Institute" for more info. Then, I found many difficulties with Darwin's Theory itself. It was eye-opening to learn that the very man that co-discovered the structure of DNA, Francis Crick, believed that the first life arrived to earth from outer space (Theory or Panspermia)! My final conclusion was that if God can create from nothing (which I believe), then God is not under any time constraints. Thus a 6-day period is not unreasonable. Evolutionists will scoff at this last statement and ridicule it - but I am finding more and more that it is not science that fuels this scoffing, but rather the principalities we read about in Ephesians 6:12. Here is an interesting tidbit: The book "In Six Days" documents how 50 scientists with advanced science degrees from secular universities believe in 6-day creation!
Is evolution science?
No it isn't and this is the misconception held by a few scientists
that say evolution is science. Evolution is a theory that cannot be proven not disproven because of the premises that it makes to safe guard its theory from those who try to disprove it.
It is impossible to believe in evolution and the Bible. The Bible says, for just one thing, that the sun was created after the plants!
Evoultion is how things change, not how they started.
Adaptation is how things change and is scientifically observable.
Too many evolutionists (or believers in the 'time fairys'* as i call them) try to use adaptation to prove evolution.
* Time fairy = nothing can become something all on it's own (despite the fact it doesn't yet exist) if you just wait long enough.....![]()
There are also many art works around the world, and accounts from ancient hstorians, strongly indicating that men and dinosaurs once lived together.
It all boils down to who you want to place your faith in.
I choose God (and therefor His word).
He is either always right, or He doesn't exist at all.
If Genesis is not correct, Exodus might be wrong too, how about Leviticus......
Occultists back in the time of Moses were able to many things to nature, why should I trust anything that contradicts my Lord God today?
