Evolution, Theory not Fact
Scripture
Genesis 1-3
Observation
How easy it would be for people simply to take this account at face value, but, like Eve, we want to question everything and come to our own conclusions. We want to be "like God". I recently read how the feminist movement is attempting to create a world in which there is no room for God. It angers me to hear the "theory" of evolution spoken of to our children as a fact. It has so little support, even scientists are embarrassed that it is being given the current credit in schools. But there seems to be no reversing this, because people would rather believe a lie, than submit to a God who might require something of them. How ironic, when he created them. What will judgement day be like, when EVERY KNEE WILL BOW?
Application
I made it my mission to train our sons to stand in awe of the wonders of God, to have no choice but to believe in God in light of the evidence around them. I did not give them arguments for the existence of God, I simply drew their attention to the evidence. Countless times God worked miracles on our behalf and they were witnesses of this.
My personal belief is that the motivation to live, to love, to do right and the ability to hope and have faith is God's imprint on our lives. If I truly believed there was no God I don't think my regard for my fellow man or life would keep me from evil and death. The most coveted things in life still result in emptiness without God. I have seen enough of life to know that if I could have anything I wanted in life, any lifestyle, any home, live any place on earth, have any position of influence or any relationship, I could still imagine myself feeling a dreadful void without God.
Why would someone who has explained God away still have a reason for living? My only conclusion is that they have created in their minds something they perceive worth living for, in other words, other gods. It may also be that by the grace of God, they still have hope within them.
Prayer
Father, open blinded eyes to see the reality of your existence, your love and your eternal plan.
