The lie of evolution

I was reading Romans chapter 1 this morning. When I came to verse 23, 

Romans 1:21-23

21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,
23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man -- and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

what flashed across my mind was that of a typical human evolution chart, one such as this:

In denying the existence of God and embracing evolution, has the mind of man not descended into the worship of himself and animals?

Evolution denies the existence of God and replaces the Creator with a man-made theory which essentially teaches that man evolved from apes (animals), and are thus in the same class as animals.

Watch any Discovery Channel or National Geographic programme that talks about evolution and the discerning believer will see the worship of "corruptible man -- and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things". Where is God? Where is the credit due to our Creator?

Evolution has been called by many Christians who believe in creation (instead of evolution) as "the lie". Verse 25 of the same chapter says that man "exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen." Man is worshipping and serving the created rather than the Creator whenever he teaches and preaches evolution.


Disastrous results 

What are the consequences of exchanging the truth of God for the lie of evolution? Look at the rest of the chapter.

Man becomes a fool

22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,

Man dishonours his body

24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,

Homosexuality and its penalties

26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.
27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

A debased mind to do all things evil

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,
30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;
32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practise such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practise them.

When man does not believe in the existence of God, let alone the truth that he is created in God's image, what is there to stop him from practicing all these evils? As long as he can get away with it, why not do it? After all, he is no different from a wild animal and is only responding to his natural "animal instincts".


The limitations of sense knowledge

I will end this thought with an excerpt from the fifth chapter of EW Kenyon’s book, The Two Kinds Of Knowledge.

… In the scientific world, man's body has become a laboratory, his brain is absolutely dependent upon his Senses.

He can only know what he has experienced through these five channels [the five senses] from the outer world to his brain.

When he comes to problems like the Reason for Creation, the Origin of Life, Man, Motion and Matter, he is beyond his depth. He can only speculate... here he is passing beyond the range and the reach of the Senses, consequently he must speculate.

It is a suggestive fact that no man becomes a philosopher until he attempts to know something that the Senses cannot interpret.

Hagel’s philosophy of the non-existence of a personal God was formulated because he could not find God with his eyes, hear Him with his ears, nor contact Him with his other Senses.

He was driven by Sense Knowledge limitations to leave the world an orphan, without a Creator, without a Ruler, for he had denied God's existence.

The philosopher is always dangerous when he leaves Sense Knowledge facts and begins to speculate.

Nowhere does Sense Knowledge seem so utterly helpless as when it begins to discuss God, spirit, and the beginning of things.

It cannot see man as a spirit being.

It cannot understand God as a spirit being.

Yet, it recognises that there is a hunger in man after God, call it a God hunger, that is ever searching, ever reaching out for something it cannot obtain through the Senses.

Because of this, we have Sense Knowledge religions beginning in idolatry and ending in philosophy and metaphysics. They all, like Hagel, deny the personality of God…

Beloved, the theory of evolution is a guess, a speculation -- "the lie" -- invented by a man, who in reaching the limitation of his sense knowledge, turned philosopher and attempted to answer, with disastrous consequences to mankind, the question of the origin of life.

Put another way, evolution is like microwave "science" presented by a scientist who studied microwaves using, of all tools, a magnifying glass, and wrote down what he could not see.
