[The 1st point] Unbelieving people will clutch at anything which will ease their conscience.

Evolution states that the environment creates change.
So if we believe in the whole Evolution concept then, we would believe these things:
That natural selection happens
and the fittest and best adapted creatures and plants increase.
That there were multitudes of chance happenings over millions of years,
and all these wonderfully diverse insects, mammals, fish, and plant life
have evolved from simple molecules, without God.
By promoting evolution then God is removed from the picture.
The world around us is no longer created by a Superior Being, but it is self contained, and self sufficient.
Everything to create life, and sustain life (so they reckon) is already here.
By removing God from our world, we remove any requirements and expectations that God puts upon us.
Then there is no need for us to surrender to the great Creator, the all sustaining God!
Evolution attacks the main witness for God:
|
This witness speaks 24 hours a day, and in every country in the world and has borne witness to the Creator God, ever since the world began.
What is this witness?
|
 |
The created world: Psalms 19:1-2 (NIV)
"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge."
This witness says "All this is made by God!"
So man has torn down that witness and has replaced it with:
"All this, by chance."
It is an outright attack on this main witness for God.
For 1000's of years this witness has stood, proclaiming the Truth about the Creator and Sustainer of all things.
Suddenly that witness has been challenged, and many people have judged it to be a false witness, and they have torn down that witness!
That's how important this subject is!
