Last week we summarized the true history of the origin of life and of the human race, noting that it is far shorter than evolution's revisionist version. Biblical truth refutes evolutionary lies at every turn. After God created the universe very good in every way, the sin of mankind brought a dreadful curse upon it (cf. Romans 8:20-22). Through Christ the Savior, the curse is being removed. The Gospel is the way of entrance into Christ's kingdom and its ongoing work. The consummation of His kingdom work will include a perfectly restored, deathless, and eternal heavens and earth.
But when someone has gullibly swallowed evolutionism, Biblical truth appears as foolishness to that one. It becomes a stumbling block to those who might be coming to Christ for the gift of forgiveness of sin and everlasting life.
The salvific piercing and discerning mentioned in a verse cited in part one (Hebrews 4:12) might begin when an ordinary Bible believing disciple becomes the very first person ever to question or challenge evolutionary thought in someone's mind. How often has this writer observed the incredulity not only in the words but by the shocked facial expressions of someone steeped in this reigning mythology!
In Acts 17:16ff we have good precedent for "creation evangelism" in the example of the apostle Paul. In that passage we find him proclaiming the good news to philosophers and others gathered in the ancient city of Athens on Mars' hill.
Mars, a.k.a. Ares, was among false gods having a place in the fantastical myths of cosmogony (the origin of the universe) and cosmology (the large scale properties of the universe) which darkened the hearts of men in that time and place. On Mars' hill was a monument to an "unknown god." Apparently the idols Mars, Jupiter, Athena, Artemis and the rest were inadequate to address the lost condition of their worshipers, who inwardly realized that was the case.
Paul started his address to them by affirming the one true God as Creator and Sustainer of all things. He was mocked. When we imitate the apostle, insisting that the creation of the universe and all it contains was by the word of God, that it took place in six days of ordinary length about six thousand years ago, and that the first human being Adam was formed of the dust of the Earth and brought to life by the breath of the Almighty, we will often be mocked as well. When we challenge this great lie, the philosophical idol of today, those who honor it will scoff. So be it.
Like many heroes of the faith over the ages, we must stand strong for truth come what may. The Gospel itself stands on the bedrock of the Biblical account of divine creation and the subsequent history of mankind and this world which the Bible provides. Here we must stand, our consciences are bound by the infallible word of God, we can do no other.
