Okay,
I aint gonna beat around the bush. I am a Christian. I believe in creationism. Although, I once was in your shoes, I searched and found the answers I was looking for. I don’t know your name or I would address you personally. Number #1, Either the Bible is true or it is false. If it is true, then we must believe in creation. If it is false we believe whatever we want and stick to our postmodern viewpoints that there is no absolute. There is a book in the Bible called Matthew and in chapter 24 verse 5. The verse is Jesus talking; He says "For many will come in my name claiming, 'I am the Christ." Well, David Karesh has come claiming to be the Christ, The Unification Church teaches that Myung Moon is the Christ, Jehovah's Witness say that Christ returned in 1914. None of which here is true, yet the Bible said these things would take place. Look at Matthew chapter 24 verse 6: "You will hear of wars, and rumors of wars..." I am guessing you are an American, and if so, if you are like me you are getting sick of hearing all this stuff about Iraq. There are things going on in Afghanistan too, and other civil wars that we hear nothing about. Verse 7 says there will be "famines", right now there are many famines amongst third world countries. (I am still on Number 1 here) In the book of 2 Timothy chapter 3 verse 2-5, it says that in the last days "people will become lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love.....the list goes on." I don't know about you, but I know someone that would fit everyone one of those, I even know Christians that would fit some of those. The bible recorded these things about 2000 years ago, and we are now starting to see them fulfilled. Also, still looking at point 1, look at the physical evidence for the Bible. There was a man by the name of Josephus, a Jew at the time, who is not mentioned in the bible, but who accounted for Jesus being more than just a prophet. IF you don't believe me search the net. Also, look at the artifacts they have found. One of them is a false artifact, the box that said "James: The brother of Jesus" ended up being a fake artifact. But there are many real ones. I will only list them here There is The Caiaphas Ossury, Moabite Stone, Pilate Inscription, the theater in Ephesus, and the Merneptah Stele....All of these artifacts have mention of either characters in the Bible or Bible events and history proving that the bible is not only a story. I believe you have all the evidence you need right there before your eyes, but let us continue. Number 2. The Bible claims in the book of Genesis in Chapter 1 verse 27 "God created man in his own image." The Bible claims we were created. So once again either the Bible is true or false, it is impossible to be both, for it would have no ground to stand. Evolutionists believe that fossils take thousands if not millions of years. Well, it has been proven over and over that it doesn't. Look at
http://www.creationevidence.org/...ic_evid/coal/se_coal.html. In this site it talks about laboratory experiments being done to make coal in a few days rather than a few thousand years. The Bible also says that God is "the alpha and Omega" In Revelation 1:8. God is claiming to be the very beginning and the very end. He is claiming to be the creator and not something created. If you look at a house, who created it? Man, right? Who created man, God? Evolution doesn't work because there is no begging or end. For example, if you think we come from monkeys, well where did the monkey's come from? And if we believe they came from and ooze on the ground...where did the ooze come from...and if the ooze came from a great anomlie..where did it come from? Okay on to number 3. Number three is about the proof that will blow the proof I have out of the water. The proof is called God. Look, I don't need $50.00, but it'd be nice. But God will answer you if you ask Him. And if you have asked Him, don't give up. I pray this helps you in your search for truth. To be honest, I am going to come back to your website in a few days and see your reply to this. In some respects I am expecting you to say something that will adhere to evolution and prove something I said wrong. However I am believing and praying that God would use my reply to help you know the truth and nothing but the truth. Thanks for the opportunity to share.
