Creation Vs Evolution As World Views

The following in a quote from UTEOTW and CalvinG

That’s right UTEOTW, the key word is science, real science. Real science is able to observe and repeat.

The canard that evolution is science and creation is religious is obviously false, since it is impossible for scientists actually to observe or repeat unique events in the past. Evolution is based upon the premise of naturalism not actual science.

The following example shows that the world-views of both creation and evolution are basically philosophical or, better, religious.

Creation
Self-existing external Creator
Cosmos created by divine fiat
Basic systems completed in the past by supernatural processes
Net changes in created systems ‘downward’ toward disorganization

Evolution
Self-originating or self-existing cosmos
Cosmos organized by itself.
All systems developed by still-continuing natural processes
Net changes in evolving systems ‘upward’ toward higher organizations.

 

Lets examine the different world Religions that are based on the two world-views of Creation and Evolution.

Creation
Bible-believing Biblical Creation
Orthodox Judaism
Orthodox Islam

Note: Only Biblical Christianity acknowledges that the Creator must also become the Redeemer & Savior. Islam and Judaism relies on Human works in addition to faith in the Creator.

Evolution
Non-Biblical Christianity (Liberalism, esoteric cults, etc)
Non-Orthodox Judaism
Non-Orthodox Islam
Ancient Pagan Religions (Babylon, Greece, Rome, Egypt, etc)

Note: The Greeks believed that the many gods they worshipped evolved and thus they themselves would eventual evolve into gods. This practice is what prompted Paul in writing to Timothy to end his letter to him the way he did. See 1 Timothy 6:20-21.

Hinduism
Confucianism
Buddhism
Taoism
Shintoism
Animism
Humanism
Atheism

 

Our Creator Jesus Christ in Matthew 7:18 stated that a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit and neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

The following is a list of harmful philosophies and evil practices of evolution that will shed some light on the evolution “TREE” which is certainly corrupt for its “FRUIT” has been uniformly evil. The leading advocates of these philosophies have in every case based their pseudoscientific rationale on evolutionism.

First lets examine the ‘FRUITS’ of evolution.

Harmful philosophies:
Communism, Nazism, Racism, Imperialism, Atheism, Humanism, Occultism, Social Darwinism, Scientism, etc…

Evil practices:
Abortion, drug culture, Promiscuity, Pornography, Genocide, Euthanasia, Chauvism, New-Agism, Bestiality, Homosexuality, Satanism, Witchcraft, etc…

Now lets examine the ‘FRUITS’ of creationists.

Wholesome Human Social Relations:
1. Monogamous Marriage established by God with the first literal human couple (Gen. 2:21-25 & Matt. 19:46).
2. Dominion mandated established human stewardship of man under God over the physical and animal creation, viewing every honorable occupation as a service to God (Gen. 1:26-28, Col. 3:23).
3. Human government ordained to maintain order in society as a service to the Creator (Gen. 9:1-7; Rom. 13:1-7).

True Science:
1. Founding fathers of modern science were creationists ‘thinking God’s thoughts after Him’. Newton, Kepler, Boyle, etc.
2. Uses scientific methods based on premise of orderly creation, capable of being understood and described rationally, because designed by an intelligent Creator.

True education:
1. Transmitting truth learned via obedience to dominion mandated from one generation to another, thereby ‘subduing’ the earth.
2. Centered and controlled in the home and family, stressing, first of all obedience to God and His Word (Gen. 18:18, 19; Eph. 28:19, 20).
3. Transmission of truth through God’s people (Matt. 28:19, 20; 1 Tim 3:16).

True Americanism:
1. Founding fathers of American system, though not all Bible-believing, were for the most part creationists.
2. The Declaration of Independence assumes American freedom required by obedience to our Creator (All men CREATED equal).
3. The Background of the US Constitution is based on English common law, which was derived mainly from scripture and efforts of many Bible-believing founding fathers of this country.

True Christianity:
1. Christology – Christ as Creator (Hohn 1:3; Col. 1:16; etc.).
2. Gospel founded “everlastingly” on God, first as CREATOR, then as incarnate saving the word (Rev. 14:6,7).
3. Saving faith centered first of all on God’s work as CREATOR (Hebrews 10:38 – 11:3).
4. Sound evangelism, see Johns Gospel
5. Sound Missionary efforts, see Paul’s examples in Acts.
6. Fellowship (Eph 3:8-12).
7. Christian Life (Col. 3:10; 2 Cor. 5:17).
8. Christian home and family (Matt. 19:3-6).
9. Biblical evelation and Inerrancy (Psalm 119:89,90; Hebrews 1:1-1,2).
10. Redemption (1 Peter 1:18-21; 2 Tim. 1:9; Titus 1:2)

 

What part of And God said don’t you understand in Genesis?

What part of Genesis 2:1-3 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day Godended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. don’t you understand?

Hence the keywords: MADE, CREATED, FINISHED, ALL HIS WORK…How much simpler could God had explained it? God is DONE creating, He’s FINISHED, ALL THE HOST OF THEM…

Boy, my 6 year old nephew can even comprehend that.

God isn’t the author of confusion! But man is WILLINGLY IGNORANT of God’s Word!

 

So John 6:63, what’s wrong with an allegory view of Genesis?

Great Question John, some people here will say, "The book of Genesis is a myth and legend and a fairy tale, allegory and tradition, and it doesn't really speak about real facts to the real world."

In Fact John it does, for the Word of God is to be taken seriously when it speaks to the real world on any and every subject. If we avoid dealing with what the Bible says about the creation of the material universe, then there is a tendency for our religion to be disconnected from the real world. There's a tendency to put Scripture in to some mystical category, to put Christianity in to some stained-glass closet.

You start out with the book of Genesis, tampering with the literal nature of that text and you have created a mystical approach to Scripture at the very launch point. You can't pick up the book of Genesis, take chapter 1 and say this is a fairy story, this is not real history, this is not reality, this does not reflect a real understanding of the real world, without severe implications to the rest of the message of Scripture. The doctrine of creation as identified in the book of Genesis is foundational; it is where God starts His story. And you can't change the beginning without impacting the rest of the story and the ending. In the Bible God speaks and He speaks in Genesis 1:1 and says He created the heavens and the earth. He is the one who spoke in Genesis 1:1 and who speaks right through Scripture till its very end.

When you tamper with Genesis 1 you are tampering with the Word of the living God and you are taking the divine account of real creation and you're saying...It is not accurate, it is not legitimate, it is not the truth. That is a serious assault and it loosens up the Scripture from reality and divorces religion, the true religion, from reality.

So evolution would love to ungod God, it would love to strip Scripture of its veracity. It wants to reject God as lawgiver, judge, Savior. It wants to destroy the dignity of man as created in the image of God.

 

PETA and Evolution

According to evolution man is quantitatively better than the animals, that is, he has some features that animals don't have, but he's not better. He has a bigger brain, but, he was not created in God's image. Therefore it is ethically wrong to violate the rights of other animals who are our literal brothers, evolutionarily speaking.

PETA and their national director, Ingrid Newkirk will agree she stated

No difference. All higher forms of life, a rat being a higher form of life in her view, are to be considered equal.

There’s even an organization called The Church of Euthanasia, which believes that animal rights are superior to human rights. A representative from that organization, told a national TV audience,

Even some animal rights groups maintain that eating meat is murder. Man is the tyrant species. Killing cows is murder. And there was one who said that killing chickens is equal to the holocaust, perpetrated by the Nazis on the Jews.

This kind of idiocy comes because these people really do believe that man is simply the end of an evolutionary series of chance occurrences that has no purpose and has no destiny and is not made in the image of God. He is not bearing any dignity beyond any other along the line in that evolutionary process.

If evolution is true, you can't argue with them. We're just animals. We have just evolved. All of these animal rights advocates, who have expressed themselves publicly on the subject are evolutionists. According to evolution it's merely the luck of the draw that man has evolved the big brain had certain mutations not happened in our ancestors and instead happened in the ancestors of the chimpanzees we might be where they are, in the zoo, and they might be where we are. (Planet of the Apes ring a bell?) Animal rights advocates will state

If man is only a animal, an accident of nature, a collection of chance mutations, then where is his meaning? Where is his dignity? Where is his absolute value? What is his purpose? Obviously he has none.

And YOU believe this TRASH SCIENCE?

 

Well UTEOTW, let’s look at HISTORY shall we?

What Hitler saw in the evolutionary theory, was the scientific justification, (just the same as social Darwinists of the nineteenth century did for their terrible abuses, which was followed by Joseph Stalin ) For his attempt to preserve the pure race.

There's no question that evolution was behind all Nazi thought from beginning to the end. Evolution is the survival of...the fittest. Hitler was just playing out the evolutionary role. He was the fittest and so he massacred everybody else under the evolutionary thesis that he was perpetuating the strongest and he was aiding in the development of the super race. That was all born out of evolutionary theory. In the biological theory of Darwin, Hitler found his most powerful weapon against traditional, against religious and Christian values. He singled out the idea of biological evolution as the greatest weapon he had against traditional religion and he repeatedly condemned Christianity for its opposition to evolution.

Hitler hated Christianity. In fact he said:

And Hitler’s Mein Kampf (My Struggle), was basically Hitler's evolutionary theory working its way out politically and was the justification for the destruction of the masses who threatened the continued evolution of the super race. In Mein Kampf Hitler wrote,

And so he destroyed the Jews, he destroyed the blacks, he destroyed the Gypsies and he was aiding natural selection and fulfilling the evolutionary biological dream.

The head of the Nazi Labor Front said that Hitler's massacres expressed

Julian Huxley, a biologist and evolutionist wrote Essays of a Humanist in 1964, said,

Julian’s right. It is the single, greatest, satanic lie the world has ever known, because it eliminates the need for a Creator. People can avoid God all together, particularly the biblical God.

 

Evolution as Philosophy

 

I agree, BUT look at it in this light

Jesus Himself addressed the issue of "Christians," performing evil deeds in a rather chilling prophecy in Matt 7:22-23:

So, Jesus says MANY will think they are His followers, but will be REJECTED at their judgment!

If you examine the atrocities perpetrated by atheists who believed in EVOLUTION, you find that they have killed more people in the last century than all of the crimes of 2000 years of "church" history combined. Joseph Stalin killed 20 million Soviet citizens between 1929 and 1939 because they were not politically correct. Mao Tse-tung killed 34 to 62 million Chinese during the Chinese civil war of the 1930s and 1940s. Pol Pot the leader of the Marxist regime in Cambodia, Kampuchea, in the 1970's killed 1.7 million of his own people.

The FRUITS of EVOLUTION!

 

Show me in SCRIPTURE where God uses evolution to create, please.

Oh…be careful not to TWIST SCRIPTURE!

I’ll wait patiently for your answer.

The TRUTH hurts huh? I can slander evolution and what you believe and expose it FRUITS all day.

But YOU OTHO, can’t slander what I believe b/c it’s from the LIVING GOD and HIS WORD.

The only ammo you have is science falsely so called, which neither has ever been observed nor repeated.

As I said before, there’s more to evolution than biology, people need to understand how the thoeories of evolution governs the way they think, instead of the Word of God. Example, Homosexual marriages!

 

And one can open the Word of God and quote scripture and scripture after scripture, but you can’t make him comprehend it. It just shows man is WILLINGLY IGNORANT.

 

I will repeat, Hitler used the theory of EVOLUTION as an excuse to strengthen the pure race. Only the FITTEST survive, huh?

Again I refer you to Matthew 7:22-23, concerning those hiding behind the curtain of Christianity.

Furthermore, the book Hitler's Secret Conversations 1941-1944 published by Farrar, Straus and Young, Inc. first edition, 1953, contains definitive proof of Hitler's real views concerning Christianity (some thought he was Roman Catholic). The book was published in Britain under the title, Hitler's Table Talk 1941-1944, which title was used for the Oxford University Press paperback edition in the United States.
