Something to Think About




Is evolution science or religion? Nothing about evolution belongs in the category of science. It's a religion just like Creationism. However, Evolutionism is a dangerous religion. You see, ideas lead to worldviews. Worldviews result in actions. Consider the different actions an atheist might take in various situations in life as opposed to the actions a Christian might take in the same situations. Their religions determine their actions.



What to Watch For




As we begin the series, watch for the evidences of a young earth and universe and for the answers to the questions in life that logically follow from the Evolutionary standpoint as opposed to the Creationist standpoint. In this world, two major worldviews exist: Evolutionism and Creationism. Both views are religious, and both seek to answer life's questions. Scientific evidence supports a young, created universe -- the opposite of the Evolutionary model. Evolutionism calls for an old, accidental universe. These contrasting worldviews have entirely opposite consequences. Notice throughout this lesson how the consequences of Evolutionism clash with the ramifications of the worldview of Creationism. Satan has tried to deceive man from the beginning, attempting to tell man that he can become as a god. This lie has not changed. Observe how Satan's lie has worked its way into science in the form of Evolutionism and notice the lack of evidence for this worldview. True science, in fact, contradicts Evolutionism, as we are about to see. God's truth is manifest in every facet of His creation.




Discussion Questions

1. What are the four basic questions of man? Are they still relevant in our society today? If so, why?

Who am I? Where did I come from? Why am I here? Where am I going when I die? The way we answer these questions is related to our worldviews, which have ramifications in any culture or society.

2. Do you believe that your view of the age of the earth affects your everyday life? If so, how?

If someone holds the Evolutionistic worldview, he must live his life according to his own will. If someone holds the worldview of Creationism, God is the final authority, and he must conform to God's will.

3. Do you believe evolution is scientific or religious? Why?

Evolutionism contradicts fundamental science and is supported only by faith -- not by evidence.



Application




We should strive to affect the worldviews of those around us. According to Matthew 5:13, we are to be the salt of the earth. Many are ignorant of the lack of scientific evidence for the Big Bang, and even fewer realize how their worldview affects their answers to life's questions. We should spread the truth of God's creation. The debate between Evolutionism and Creationism is important because it governs every major decision and action we execute in life. Where is the basis for a moral authority if we are mere accidents of chance whose sole purpose is to please ourselves? How is society to function without a lawgiver? If we really came from a cosmic burp 20 billion years ago, we have no purpose and no authority besides ourselves. If we are truly made in the image of God, He is our authority, and He has laid out some rules for us to follow. Are we ready to face His judgment?



Challenge




Ask an elementary school-age child if he knows where everything in the world came from. If his answer involves the Big Bang, ask him where the original matter came from. If he doesn't know where this original matter came from, consider sharing the Biblical account with him to explain how everything came into being.

This is a joke? i hope so, because this gay has no idea of the thinks he is talking about

[slaves4christ]

@MrShayana1412 Are you implying there's something wrong with being gay? What is a think?

[nerodemp]

bravo bravo this is science!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ButterOnCorn]

our jaws were designed to hold all of our teeth. impacted wisdom teeth= lie from satan

[RocknForJesus]

I love woodpeckers. :P Because there is no fossil evidence for why they're the way they are, but Atheists say "Evolution did it!"

Using the ol' "Evolution of the Gaps." Argument. And they say Christians are arrogant.

Some people were just born to be serfs...

[slaves4christ]

@slaves4christ Prove that God doesn't exist. Then we'll call it a false assumption.

[slaves4christ]

@OptimalElement You're makiing a false assumption. God made us with free will to choose right or wrong, to love and obey him or not. If you program a robot to say "I love you" it means nothing. He gave us a choice so the love and relationship he has with his children would be real. But of course it is just to hold us accountable for our sin.

I agree that when the Roman Catholic religion ruled Europe, they killed millions of Christians.

[OptimalElement]

@slaves4christ

But there is the problem you see in these fairy tales. If God created us, why did he create us so rebellious? Is it justice for him to blame us for his own mistakes?

I am amazed how to this day people still believe in this nonsense. Let me tell you something, there was a time when religion ruled above the law. We call those days the dark ages.

[slaves4christ]

@OptimalElement Of course! That's where you see God's justice and incredible mercy! But I can see how if you hadn't read the whole thing in context, you might question God's justice because of his supernatural patience and mercy. It's amazing he didn't wipe millions of wicked people off the face of the earth. What great mercy he has in giving you and I all these years to come to repentance when you could justly kill us and throw us into hell the 1st time we rebelled against him!

@slaves4christ
