This is a paper I wrote last year in high school, for no real reason, and probably in Geosystems class. I think it's worth reading.
I would say to you, "So the world just came to be on its own, who's going to belive that?" But you would reply, "You believe that everything was just created by God. What foolishness."
What foolishness indeed. What a fairy tale. What ignorance! What wishful thinking. That's what they say. We don't haveGod to explain things anymore - we have science. Who can name anything science accepts as wrong? Who is anyone compared to the great institution of science?
Science and Evolution- I think people get these two terms mixed up alot. Let me explain. I respect science, but I reject evolution. Evolution is not necessary to science. Science figures out how things work, and gives us innovation and technology. Evolution is speculation- a theory. The theory of evolution has not produced any beneficial innovations or usable concepts.
Evolution is a way for people who don't believe in God to justify their existence. There are only two options: creation or evolution. There is no middle ground. And people will believe what they want to believe. It is rare that a person looks at either side's credentials and decides which one is more feasible.
Science leaves no room for creation. In our universe, all we know are natural things, physical laws and cause and effect. A miracle- something impossible happening- is irrational. We say to ourselves, "If something is impossible, it can't happen." 'Impossible' is always according to the laws of this universe. When a miracle happens that breaks the laws of this universe, then that is irrational because the physical laws can't be broken. But if God created this universe, he could break the physical laws, and do miracles. Science rejects this possibility.
Miracles can't be tested, proven, or reproduced. Likewise, God can not be percepted or proven. Therefore, science is useless when it comes to this.
But then somehow the institute of science accepted the notion that God simply does not exist. And if God does not exist, then he did not create us. So there needed to be an explanation. Also, consequently, all of scientific theory was based on non-creation. Darwin proposed the theory of evolution, which explained the diversity of species, but did not explain the origin of life. (When someone is dying of thirst, they'll drink whatever they get.) People might put aside the origin of life as not a big deal, but it is very important, and also very flawed.
Life was supposed to have "occured" on its own, in unknown circumstances. But scientists have been trying their best for decades to reproduce the formation of a cell out of matter. They give the matter the most ideal conditions and arrangement, but they have never created a cell. Indeed, nobody has ever created something alive out of something that's dead. People try to make it happen, and it doesn't happen. And it's supposed to have happened by chance... and by heat and by quantity and volume and by millions and billions of years.
This is, I must admit, obsurd in the highest degree.
A stark evolutionist thinks that a Christian creationist is dim-witted, at the least, and ignorant in the face of scientific theory. A creationist should realize that an evolutionist is just misled by what they've heard or what they want to believe. (misled and possibly ignorant) But a good Christian will not litter their speech with the term 'ignorant,' because it is a sort of insult, and that only breeds separation and dissention.
People always demand proof. I hear some people on YouTube saying, "If you think there's a God, then prove it!" Well, there is no proof. I think to myself, why would I prove it to you, in the state you're in? What good would it do for a person, to have proof? What, would they be forced to believe it then? And love and serve God? To Jesus, the Pharisees demanded a sign from Him. He said, "A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it exept the sign of the prophet Jonah" -Matthew 16:4
Jonah spent three days in the belly of a whale. Likewise, Jesus was crucified and was dead for three days, but then God raised him from the dead. Witnesses confirmed this, preached about it, and suffered for it. 1 Corinthians 1:23 - "We preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness."
People don't rise from the dead. That's impossible. That can't happen. But it did happen. What are you going to do about Jesus Christ?
