Creation Calm versus Evolution Chaos

 

Have you ever noticed how chaotic the theory of evolution is? Everything takes hundreds of millions of years to progress. I guess that is because trial and error takes a long time to get it right. But then, on the other hand, how did anything survive through all of the trials and errors?

Logically every time a trial turned into an error whatever was trying to evolve would have had to die in the process because it kept getting it wrong for millions of years, therefore it couldn’t survive. This couldn’t survive until that survived because this needed that in order to be able to survive and become this. (Are you confused? Me too.) And so on, and so on. It wouldn’t take very long until everything would be dead because it had all died trying to figure itself out.

Is your head spinning now? Yep.

Now let’s see what the Bible says about how it all started. The first four words get us off to a very good start are, “In the beginning, God.”

God is the only being who had no beginning. He is the beginning. He also has no end. That tells us the basis for everything always was, and always will be God. It doesn’t get any better than that.

Whereas evolution is nothing but total random chaos, God on the other hand, is peace, and logic, and order. Genesis 1:1 says, “1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”

Notice how creation is logical right from the start because it includes an intelligent creator. The Bible doesn’t say God created the earth and the heavens. He created the heavens first, otherwise the earth would have had no place to dwell.

Notice how evolution didn’t start out by making a place for everything to live. It just tries to make some kind of being, (with no place to live). OOPS! I guess it smothered.

Next the Bible tells us:

 “2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

 3 And God said, “Let there be light”: and there was light.

Now everything could be seen.” But who would see it? Well, the angels might have already been created, and if so I am sure they were very interested in watching it all happen.

 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

⁵ And God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

⁶ And God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”

⁷ And God made the firmament and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

⁸ And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

So why did God divide the water and raise part of it way up, and leave the rest of it on and in the earth? The water that was left on and in the earth would be to drink or to live in, depending on what type of being you are. The water that was raised up high was to protect the earth and it’s atmosphere. The space in between was for air to breathe. It also made the atmosphere into a hyperbaric chamber. For all the animals and humans who would be living on earth that would make it possible for them to live a very, very long time. When the great flood happened God broke the barrier that was holding the water above our atmosphere and it rained for the first time. That destroyed the hyperbaric effect and suddenly we had a shortened life span.

⁹ And God said, “Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear”: and it was so.

¹⁰ And God called the dry land earth; and the gathering together of the waters called the seas: and God saw that it was good.

Now God has made a solid ground for creatures and plants to live on.

¹¹ And God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth”: and it was so.

¹² And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

¹³ And the evening and the morning were the third day.

Now there was plenty of food for every creature. I remember my father telling me that when God created humans and animals with the need for food, being the perfect and loving being He is, He obligated Himself to provide us with the food He created us to need. His love and perfection would not allow Him to create something with a need and not provide what it needed.

As always, He prepared everything that would be needed before it was needed. Another example of God’s perfect logic.

¹⁴ And God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

¹⁵ And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth”: and it was so.

¹⁶ And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

¹⁷ And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

¹⁸ And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

¹⁹ And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Up until this time, the light in the universe was God’s light. He now gave us a source of light we could understand, and both the sun and moon provide many benefits for us. I don’t have the time here to go into detail but look it up. You will be amazed.

So why would God divide the day and night? Because He knew what He was going to create, and that it would have the day to enjoy God’s earth with all it’s warmth, and the night to rest and refresh itself in the cool of the evening. He was preparing everything to be ready for what He was going to make next. It all would now have time to grow and time to rest.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.”

²⁰ And God said, “Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.”

²¹ And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

²² And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.”

²³ And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Now that God had created the waters, land, and sky to have exactly what the different animals needed, He created all the animals. Again, totally logical. Everything is ready and waiting for the next thing that God created. No creature had to struggle while waiting for God to make a suitable place for them. He made everything in exactly the right order.

²⁴ And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creatures after his kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

²⁵ And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and everything that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

Now for the finale.

²⁶ And God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”

²⁷ So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.

²⁸ And God blessed them, and God said unto them, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”

²⁹ And God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

³⁰ And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat”: and it was so.

³¹ And God saw everything that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Once God had created all the animal life He was ready for the finale. He created mankind in His own image. This was someone He could commune with and give His love to. This was what creation had all been about.

The Bible says, “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth His handywork.” This all was a gift to us, designed to tell us about God so that no one could ever have any excuse to not realize His existence.

If you pay attention as you read the first chapter of Genesis you will notice that every time God created something, He looked at it and saw that it was good. However, when He created human beings He looked  and said it was very good.

How could we not love God who would create an entire universe and everything in it to show us who He is and how much He loves us? How could we not love God who created us in His image so we could commune with Him and be His companion?

Of course, God could have just thought about it and the whole universe and everything in it would have popped into existence fully complete. However, He chose to prepare a place for each living thing before He created it. Nothing happened randomly. God is all about order.

So, what makes more sense, and would you rather have been formed out of chaos, or created in love and calm?

Now this is just my opinion, but in looking around at everything, it seems to me that God loves to watch things develop. Every person, animal, or plant life starts out as an infant and matures over time. Even as Christians we begin as new born babes in Christ and hopefully never stop maturing spiritually. I think even though we will be perfect in eternity as far as being sinless goes, we will continue to mature everyday forever. We will never run out of things to learn about God. That thought is exciting to me.

John 14:3 says, “ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” If God prepared the earth and the entire universe in six days, just imagine what our new home will look like. After all, He has been preparing it for two thousand years. I can hardly wait to see it.

Think about it.
