TRUE HISTORY OF THE COSMOS

The slide below is taken from a FREE PowerPoint presentation available from http://www.answersingenesis.org which addresses the issue of the decline in Christianity in the Western World due to the teaching of evolution and billions of years in our schools and universities.

Ken Ham calls it the Seven C’s of History: Creation – Perfect at the beginning. Corruption: Sin and death entered the world because Adam and Eve disobeyed God due to deception by an evil spirit being, Satan. Catastrophe: God judges an evil world with the worldwide flood of Noah’s day. Confusion: God confuses the language of the post-flood population resulting in the nations of the world speaking different languages. Christ: God’s Son steps into history as the Saviour of mankind. Cross: Jesus was prepared to pay the price for our rebellion against God. He rose from the dead and promised to raise to eternal life all of those who believe and submit to Him as Lord. Consummation: Jesus will return to earth to fulfill the covenants He made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob for God’s nation, Israel to rule and reign over the nations of the world for 1000 years: Jesus Millennial Kingdom (www.millennialkingdom.net).

God has allowed Satan to rule this world for 6,000 years. When Jesus returns to Earth, Satan is bound in the Abyss for most of the 1000 years that Jesus rules the nations with the resurrected Saints. At the end of the 1000 years, Satan is released and he raises an enormous army to come against Jesus and the Saints. “And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.” Revelation 20:9. God then destroys this world with fire. Next is the second resurrection and Jesus’ White Throne judgement. Then, John sees a new Jerusalem descending out of a new heaven onto a new Earth where only the righteous dwell.

When Darwin came up with the Theory of Evolution by natural selection, he did not know the incredible evidence for design in the Cosmos. As Dr. Dean Kenyon (former Professor of Biochemistry at Stanford University and author of two Evolutionary Biochemistry textbooks) states the discovery of DNA and the electron microscope rang the death knell of evolution. Imagine how difficult it was for Dr. Kenyon to come out and say that what he had been teaching for many years was nonsense.

DNA is the complex information in every living cell that controls all the functions of the organism. Information is only derived from an Intelligent Designer who is separate from His creation.

The electron microscope reveals that inside each cell are manufacturing units making all the complex chemicals required for life and transport devices to take them to where they are needed.

The DNA, and the factories and functions that the DNA controls must be perfect on day one; they could not have evolved. They were created by an omnipotent designer just as the Bible, God’s Word states. The opening words of the Bible state “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

In other branches of science such as geology the paradigm of slow gradual change over billions of years is also being challenged as the evidence in the rocks is of catastrophe not slow gradual change. Billions of dead things all over the world including fossil fuels are evidence of a catastrophic global flood.

Make sure you are equipped to give an answer when you are asked about the faith you hold in Jesus Christ. You can get the resources you need from http://www.answersingenesis.org and http://www.creation.com.

THE TRUE HISTORY OF SCIENCE

The true history of science that is never taught in our schools and universities is that all of the early eminent scientists were not taken in by the master deceiver, Satan, and his demons. They believed in God and the history He provided us of the Cosmos He created (God’s Word/Bible). Not only our world’s beginning, He even tells us how the story ends, to show us He is in total control of what He created, even time itself.

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.Ephesians 6:11-12

BRIEF HISTORY OF SCIENCE

The great Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) whose idea that the earth revolves around the sun laid the foundation for our understanding of the solar system, wrote: “For who, after applying himself to things which he sees established in the best order and directed by divine ruling, would not through contemplation of them … admire the Artificer of all things, in whom is all happiness and every good.”

The famous Italian astronomer, mathematician, and physicist Galileo Galilei (1546-1642) whose astronomical observations revolutionised our view of the universe, noted, “When I reflect on so many profoundly marvelous things that persons have grasped, sought, and done, I recognize even more clearly that human intelligence is a work of God and one of the most excellent.

German astronomer and mathematician Johanne Kepler (1571-1630) who laid the groundwork for understanding the laws of planetary motion, saw divine order in the movement of heavenly bodies that reflected the existence of a Creator.

English physician, anatomist, and physiologist William Harvey (1578-1657) discovered how the circulatory system of the human body functions. His work pioneered the scientific method. His studies of human and animal anatomy led him to conclude: “We acknowledge God, the Supreme and Omnipotent Creator, to be present in the production of all animals… All things are indeed contrived and ordered with singular providence, divine wisdom, and most admirable and incomprehensible skill.”

The brilliant mathematician and physicist Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) wrote: “This beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being.”

Newton also stated: “There are more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible than any profane history, and I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God written by men who were inspired. I study the Bible daily.”

German-born British astronomer Sir William Herschel (1738-1822) discoverer of the planet Uranus, said, “All human discoveries seem to be made only for the purpose of confirming more and more strongly the truth contained in the Sacred Scriptures.

More recently, Werner von Braun (1912-1977), rocket scientist and father of the U.S. Space program, said, “In this age of space flight, when we use the modern tools of science to advance into new regions of human activity, the Bible… this grandiose, stirring history of the gradual revelation and unfolding of moral law … remains in every way an up-to-date book.

The understanding of our planet, solar system, the universe, and the human body rests on the foundational work of scientific giants like these. They saw no conflict between God, science, and the Bible. The only possible reason we have departed from it is that mankind has been deceived to accept the great lie that evolution (goo to you via the zoo) can explain it all. Blame Ken Ham of Answers In Genesis (http://www.answersingenesis.com) for “goo to you via the zoo”. It is one of the two websites I urge all Christians to use and support. The other one is http://www.creation.com. They are the go-to websites for all the information you need to equip you to overcome the evolutionary origins delusion.
