As I gaze into the face of a newborn babe, I have great difficulty believing in evolution. I don't believe for one second that this beautiful child developed over millions of years of evolution from an ape-like creature. This perfect little being with ten fingers and ten toes is, according to the Bible, created in the image of God.
Open your Bible to the very first book, Genesis, and turn to chapter 1, verse 26: "Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.'" It doesn't say to make man from an ape or an organism that will crawl up out of the sea onto the land. It clearly states that man will be made in the image, or likeness, of God. Verse 27 continues, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."
Creation or evolution--which will you believe? Regardless of which you choose to believe, they must both be accepted on faith. There are no hard facts on evolution--that's why they call it the theory of evolution. It's based on man's opinion of how it all started without any hard evidence. Creation, on the other hand, has a strong foundation based on scientific evidence.
Archeological research has proven that what is written in the Bible is based on fact. History also supports the evidence of creation, through the life of Jesus Christ as told in the Bible. Man has been provided with this written history, yet still he tries to fabricate the origin of the species and support the theory of evolution.
By definition, faith is belief that is not based on proof. If we choose to accept the Bible by faith as the historical record of creation, it gives us all the proof we need to support that belief.
Evidence of creation vs. the theory of evolution--which will you choose to believe?

The thing is...there is quite a bit of evidence for evolution just as as there is for creation. And you can't use the Bible to prove creation is the way things were. Because using a Christian object to prove Christianity doesn't make sense. If a Mormon tried to prove to you that Smith was right by using the Book of Mormon, what credibility would that hold for you? Or if the government tried to prove that something they did was good and right and true based on documents THEY produced, would you buy it?
Someone once asked me something along the lines of, "Can you prove the theory of creation without using the Bible, EGW, or personal opinion?"
Think about it.
PS - I'm not saying I don't believe in Creation, I'm just playing devil's advocate. :)
I believe if a person honestly looks at the scientific facts there is much more hard evidence for creation than for evolution. Science can disprove evolution, but it can not PROVE creation. Science will give you so much fact, then faith takes over. I believe it takes a whole lot more faith to believe in evolution than it does to believe in creation. Lots of science proves that evolution is not correct. No science proves that creation is not. Though you can not PROVE creation without the Bible or EGW, you can not disprove creation with science.
There, I thought about it.
Whoa! Controversy on the internet. Who'da thunk it?!
