Unit One: What's wrong with Evolution?

Lesson two Objective: To present the biblical response to the theory of evolution.

Key Verse: "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." Hebrews 11:3

Lesson Text: Genesis 1:1-8

Many books have been written on the topic of evolution. The purpose of this lesson is not to provide a thorough overview of the issue, but to present some basic facts regarding evolution is just a theory, not a scientifically proven fact.

Why the Hang up about evolution?

Read the Following scriptures in your Bible and answer these questions:
Psalm 19:1 What are some specific ways the heavens declare the glory of God?
Psalm 104:1-30 How involved is God in His creation?
Psalm 148 How does creation praise God?
Romans 1:20 How does creation leave men "without excuse?"

Ultimately, evolution removes key elements of life, including God, who is the original Designer of the world. The theory removes any purpose that man may have for existing and removes him from have any responsibility to a higher being or to his fellow man.

THE BIBLE IS ONE AWESOME SCIENCE BOOK!

It is interesting that Charles Darwin himself is quoted as admitting that he may have devoted his life to a fantasy when trying to prove his theory of natural selection. Sadly, his false facts have endured long. But the facts in the Word of God will edure forever. Look below at some of the scientific facts recorded in the Bible.


Our Commitment
If we acknowledge God as Creator, then we must acknowledge that we are answerable to Him. This week in focused prayer, consider whether you are living like you truly believe God is Creator or do you live as if you are answerable to no one. Surrender all things unto the Lord!
