The creation around us did not, and could not, evolve from an imperfect beginning as some claim. On the contrary, it required perfection and completeness when created. Nothing was left to chance, for chance always results in falling away, rather than building up. Nature abhors all that is strange to it, as we notice among wild-animal mothers who produce imperfect offspring and immediately abandon them. Evolutionists conveniently overlook this fact in their unsound doctrine.
There is great satisfaction to those who believe the Bible in recognizing the supreme power and wisdom of God, the divine Creator, who through His Son, the Lord Jesus, made all things "visible and invisible" complete and perfect when brought into being and who now is "upholding all things by the word of His power."
Typical of opposition to God's order of things, in July 1985, a newspaper printed this question: "What makes people cling to creationism with such tenacity?" (Or, put another way—why are there people who won't give up believing in creation and a Creator?) Then the article answers its own question: "It is a linchpin (a bolt that keeps a wheel from falling off its axle) of fundamentalism which insists that every word in the Bible is literally true."
Well, that was a good answer, even though the writer indicated he isn't one who believes the Word of God is true. Our divine Creator built a "linchpin" into everything He created to keep it from wandering away on an "evolutionary course," like a wagon smashing into the ditch when there are no linchpins to keep it in proper order.
In the same article, the writer said, "The issue of evolution vs. the Bible will not go away," and added, "They [who believe in creation] show no signs of giving up." May all who love the Lord and believe the Bible story of creation, thank Him that this is so.
Surely Satan, who in the Bible is referred to as "the god of this world," is pleased to have teachers follow the pattern favored by the newspaper article. It is always his purpose to turn hearts and minds away from the true God of heaven and earth. Those who follow his wicked doctrines are described in the Bible as "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.... who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator." Rom. 1:22,2522Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, (Romans 1:22)
25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (Romans 1:25).
Do not fall into their snares. Rely, instead, on a firm foundation—the precious truth of God's Word, the Bible.
