The Miracle of Creation

By David Brandt Berg

People can’t help but believe in God if they just look at creation. All they have to do is look at the creation to know Somebody had to design it, pattern it, put it together, and make it work like it does. God’s beautiful creation works so beautifully, so systematically, so perfectly, it’s obvious that all that didn’t just happen by accident. Creation, so-called Nature, is not just natural. It’s God-created. It’s supernatural. It’s miraculous!

If you don’t know whether God exists, just look at the sea, the sky, the clouds, the mountains, the valleys, the trees, the flowers—everything. They’re all virtually shouting, “There is a God! Look what He made! Look what a beautiful world He made for you to live in!”

The greatest proof of God’s existence is His creation. The Bible says that God’s “invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made” (Romans 1:20). The existence of our invisible God is proven by His visible creation. It’s “clearly seen” through the beautiful world He made.

Evolutionists try to explain away creation by saying that it just happened by accident and God had nothing to do with it, that it somehow just threw itself together. Dr. Robert A. Millikan, winner of the 1923 Nobel Prize for physics, had a good answer to that: “Just as there had to be a watchmaker behind the synchronized perfection and order of every watch, so there had to be a Creator behind the synchronized perfection of the universe.”

Yet evolutionary doctrine has become the general theme of modern science and is now referred to as the “great principle” of biology. But a principle, according to the dictionary, is a foundation truth or fact; the basis of other truths—and evolution has never been proven to be either a truth or a fact, much less the foundation or basis of other truths.

There is no proof for evolution. It has to be believed; therefore it’s a religion. Even the founding father of this false faith, Charles Darwin himself, confessed, “The belief in natural selection [evolution] must at present be grounded entirely on general considerations. When we descend to details, we can prove that no one species has changed, nor can we prove that the supposed changes are beneficial, which is the groundwork of the theory.”

So evolution is really a religion of unbelief in God. That’s its whole purpose: to eliminate faith in God and to foster the false belief that the creation created itself; God had nothing to do with it, so there doesn’t need to be a God.

The first verse of the first chapter of the first book of the Bible says, “In the beginning, God—not chaos, not some nebulous cloud of gases—created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). And a few verses later, “God created man in His own image; He created him in the image of God; He created them male and female” (Genesis 1:27). God formed man out of what?—Previous life forms?—Apes?—Beasts? “And God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Genesis 2:7). This is the truth of God’s Word!

Even if you don’t believe the Bible, reasonable scientists concede that if the world’s two or three million species of animal and plant life came about by evolution, we would be ten miles deep in fossils of evolutionary “missing links.” Instead, the evolutionists search the world over trying to find one! Nearly every one of those fossils that evolutionists claim to be missing links have now been debunked, and some are confessed fakes, like Piltdown Man.

Evolution has no foundation in fact whatsoever. There’s no evidence for it. No discovery has been made to prove it. As one of its foremost proponents, Margaret Mead, wrote in her introduction to her textbook on anthropology: “We as honest scientists must confess that science has yet to discover one single iota of concrete evidence to prove the evolutionary theory!”

Do you believe in God?—Look at the world; look at the beautiful trees; look at the flowers; look at the sea; look at the sky. Does God love you?—You can see it and feel it in the beautiful world He made for you.

God created this wonderful world for you to live in and enjoy, and He is the only One who can give meaning to the universe and purpose to the planets and love to our hearts and peace to our minds and health to our bodies and rest to our spirits and happiness to our lives and joy to our souls.

Have you ever wondered how the theory of evolution measures up to basic laws of physics and other findings of true science?

Amazing Facts

By Anthony Mizrany

 
The laws of thermodynamics

The first law of thermodynamics states: “Matter cannot be created or destroyed.” So how did everything get started? Evolution has no answer to this whatsoever. Creation says simply that God made it all by outright miracle, and He made it so that it couldn’t be added to or destroyed. This answer fits perfectly—and it’s the only one available!

The second law of thermodynamics states: “Everything tends toward disorder.” In other words, if you leave something alone long enough, it doesn’t get better, it gets worse (e.g., decay, corrosion, “wear and tear,” etc.). This is the absolute opposite of the theory of evolution, which says that everything is getting better and better all the time, evolving into higher, more complicated life forms. The Bible agrees with the second law of thermodynamics. “You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the Earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but You remain; and they will all grow old like a garment” (Hebrews 1:10-11).

 
The law of conservation of angular momentum

This law states: “If a spinning object explodes, the pieces that fly off will spin in the same direction.” In other words, if an object spinning clockwise explodes, all the fragments will spin clockwise. This is a law. It always happens. This is bad news for the “big bang” theory!

If the big bang had actually happened, then everything, by law, should be spinning in the same direction—but it’s not! According to evolution, all the planets in our solar system came from the sun, but Venus and Uranus are spinning backwards! There are 60 moons in our solar system, and many of them are also spinning backwards. Several are even orbiting backwards!

 
The age of the solar system—6,000 years, or billions of years?

With the advent of lasers and atomic clocks, measurements of time, size, and distance are far more accurate than ever before. Did you know…

The sun burns off 5 million tons of gas per second. That means, of course, that the sun used to be bigger. If the biblical account of Creation is true, the universe and everything in it is about 6,000 years old. At the rate the sun is burning up, the difference between its size 6,000 years ago and its size now is negligible.—Good news for life on Earth! But at that same rate, the sun would have been so much bigger and therefore so much closer to Earth as “recently” as 20 or 30 million years ago that no life forms—not even bacteria, much less dinosaurs—would have been possible. Meanwhile, evolutionists contend the sun is about 4.7 billion years old, and that life on Earth began forming in the oceans about 3.4 billion years ago.

Newton’s law of universal gravitation tells us that the bigger any two heavenly bodies are, the greater the gravitational pull between them, and as those bodies come closer to each other, the gravitational pull between them increases by the “inverse square” (e.g., at half the distance, the gravity is quadrupled). So a significantly older and larger sun would have exerted a significantly stronger gravitational pull, and Earth and the other planets could not have existed except in far more distant orbits. This fact creates more problems for the theory of evolution, because as the sun decreased to its present size and its gravitational pull diminished, the planets would not have been pulled in to smaller and closer orbits, but rather would have drifted into larger, more distant orbits.

Earth’s magnetic field is getting weaker. Archaeological measurements show that Earth’s magnetic field was 40% stronger 1,000 years ago than it is today. If Earth’s magnetic field is caused by a decaying electric current in Earth’s metallic core—the most plausible explanation—Earth could not be much older than about 10,000 years, or else that electrical current’s original strength would have been large enough to melt the planet.

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are cooling off. Jupiter, for example, radiates about twice as much energy as it receives from the sun. Saturn radiates about three times as much as it receives from the sun. If the solar system were billions or even millions of years old, these five planets would have been dead cold a long time ago.

Saturn’s rings are expanding. In other words, the “clouds” of particles (thought to be a mix of rocks, frozen gases, and water ice) that make up Saturn’s rings are becoming larger and less dense. At the rate they are expanding, they would have dissipated long ago if the solar system were anywhere near as old as evolutionists contend it is.
