The Bible vs Evolution

Did you know the Bible and the theory of evolution stand in total opposition to each other?

The Bible says plants were made before the sun. Evolution says that the sun came first.

The Bible says marine mammals were made before land mammals. Evolution says the land mammals came first.

The Bible says that birds were made before reptiles. Evolution has birds evolving from dinosaurs.

The Bible says the earth’s atmosphere was created between two layers of water. Evolution says the atmosphere was above the water.

The Bible says man brought death into the world. Evolution says death brought man into the world.

The Bible says God created man. Evolution says man created God.

There’s no way these two can be reconciled, although the Catholic Church among others tries with a theistic version of evolution that says each day of creation was composed of millions or even billions of years. Right away you realize it still doesn’t work because if plants were created first as the Bible says, they couldn’t have survived for millions of years without the sun.

The idea that God created the universe and then let evolution take over is ludicrous. Anyone who knows the God of the Bible would realize the fallacy of this idea immediately. God would never condone such a cruel mechanism as evolution which calls for the death and suffering of millions in order for the ‘strongest’ to survive. God created everything there is and then declared it good. Evolution is certainly not good.

The bottom line is that you either have to believe God created the universe exactly as it says in the Bible or you have to believe in the godless and totally unproven theory of evolution.

I find that a no-brainer.
