Lakeview Baptist Church

Phil and I are going to take you through a journey through the book of Genesis! Last week we talked about Creation and this coming week we will discuss the creation of man.

One thing that was brought up this past week in Sunday School was the issue of evolution and the reason WHY it is forced on us a society, but especially on young people in school.

The main reason why evolution is crammed into the ears of young people by teachers and researchers is this: if man can discredit the creation account, then he feels he can dismiss the notion that he NEEDS Jesus Christ.

It always comes back to Jesus Christ. Men do not want Him, so they look to void Him. One way is to attempt to use "science" to prove man's origin was not from God but from goop!

Steven Hawking, a well known professor at Cambridge University, said this past week that, "Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing." He went on to say, "It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going."

In essence, Hawking is saying that since there is gravity, matter can exist and be formed without any assistance. The big problem with that is this: Who created the law of gravity? Other laws of physics demand an initiation for movement to begin, thus to believe that gravity always existed would take a great amount of faith to believe!

I will never be as smart as Steven Hawking (he is a smart guy...) but at the same time it is apparent he has faith, though misplaced... in science and theory. It takes faith to believe and say what he declared about the inexistence of God. Therefore, we see the evidence in his folly. Steven Hawking doesn't want to accept that he is a sinner and he must depend on Jesus for salvation.

There is the reason why we have evolution - not because of science but because of sin.

Have questions or want to discuss???

See you in Sunday School!
