CREATION VS EVOLUTION


                 Biblical Creation versus Humanistic Evolution


Biblical Creation:
===================

GOD:
  He is a personal being who exists apart from His creation.  He designed,
 created, and now maintains the universe by His almighty power.  

PURPOSE IN LIFE:
  To receive forgiveness of sins and come into a personal relationship
 with God.  God has a plan and a purpose for each individual.  

RELIGION:
  Christianity is not man trying to reach God.  Christianity is God's
 intervention in human history to save lost mankind.  

SALVATION:  
  The Lord Jesus died on the cross and paid for sin and purchased a 
place in heaven which He offers as a free gift.  Anyone may receive it.

HELL 
  ...is for those who reject God's love gift of forgiveness and choose 
to pay the penalty for their sins themselves.


 Colossians   1
  16  For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and
 that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be]
 thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things
 were created by him, and for him:
  17  And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.



 
Humanistic Evolution:
=====================

GOD: 
  He does not exist.  Chance is the creator and designer of the 
universe.  Matter always existed or came into being from nothing.  

PURPOSE IN LIFE:
  Live and love for today and enjoy life now because after death the
future is uncertain.  The goal is personal fulfillment and
satisfaction in life.  

RELIGION: 
   Religions are created by man to satisfy social, environmental and 
emotional needs.  Only the weak need it.  

SALVATION: 
  Sin is not a problem.  Salvation is not needed since God does not 
exist.  Each person is responsible for his own life and does not have 
to answer to a 'God'.  

HELL 
  A place of eternal torment does not exist.  There is no Holy God who 
demands punishment for sin.


 Romans   1
  20  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world
 are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made,
 [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without
 excuse:
  21  Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as
 God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations,
 and their foolish heart was darkened.
  22  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,



 "...THE FOOL HATH SAID IN HIS HEART, THERE IS NO GOD...." (Psalms 14:1)

 Colossians   2
  8  Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain
 deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the
 world, and not after Christ.

The Bible says:

ALL HAVE SINNED: 

 Romans   3
  23  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

SIN HAS A PENALTY:

 Ezekiel  18
  20  The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear
 the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the
 iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be
 upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

 Romans   6
  23  For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is]
 eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

JESUS PAID THE PENALTY:

 Romans   5
  8  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were
 yet sinners, Christ died for us.

YOU MUST RECEIVE THE LORD JESUS:

 John   1
  12  But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become
 the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:

                    SINNERS PRAYER

     Lord Jesus, I admit that I am a sinner and I ask You to come into 
my life to forgive and save me.  I now receive You as my Saviour 
(trusting in You ALONE to save me) and my Lord (making You my Master and 
comitting my life to You).
