Which came first --the chicken or the egg? And then why did that chicken have to cross the road? Science fills in some of the questions but faith covers all.

The fact of the matter is there is no "scientific" way to prove how the world was created. Dating methods are unreliable. It can't be reproduced in a laboratory. There are no living eye witnesses. Essentially you could argue for hours and not come up with a solid answer.

But what does the evidence that we have point to? Here are some things to consider:

1. Every year, the earth accumulates so much dust from meteors/asteriods/etc. disinigrating in the atmosphere. Scientists have measure this amount. If the earth were a few thousand years old, it would just about match up with the amount we have now. If the earth were a few billion, then we would be buried in dirt right now.

2. 2nd law of thermodynamics (established by old dead white guys) states that things move from order to chaos. Evolution states the exact opposite; it claims that simple, lifeless organisms had to reorganize themselves in a complex manner to turn into us. Not even close to logical.

3. Evolution, led to its conclusion, would mean that you are an accident of nature with no worth or value. Creation teaches that someone who loves you made you unique and special and has a plan for you. Which sounds better?

Any questions, email me.

In Asia, Africa and Australia lives a remarkable creature the
archerfish that shoots down its prey from the air above it with a burst of
water. It uses its tongue and the top of its mouth to form a groove simiilar
to a gun barrel. Then by compressing its gills it squirts water up to
six feet with deadly accuracy -- in spite of the distortion caused by
seeing the target from below the surface of water.
Evolutionists still don't know how the
archerfish got its amazing abilities.They can only wonder. Viewid through
the distortion of evolution they cannot explain how the archerfish
gradually learned to not aim where its eyes see but to aim instead at a
different spot where the target actually is.
Without its binocular vision it couldnot see
the object with such precision and without the special shape of the
upper mouth and a specialized tongue it could not make the groove it needs
to shoot lthe concentrated jet of water. Many factors have to appear
together and be perfectly formed for this shooting mechanism to work.
This of course goes totally against Charles Darwin's evolutionary theory
which is based on a gradual step by step process.
Darwin wrote in (The Origin of Species)--
"If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could
not possibly have been formed by numerous successive slight
modifications my theory would absolutely break down"(1859, p. 171).
The archerfish offers precisely such an
example since several complex systems must all appear at the same time
perfectly and not gradually formed--binocular vision,a specialized mouth
and tongue, specialized gills to compress and expel water and an aiming
system based in the brain and not in the eyes. If any of these parts is
missing the mechanism will not hit the target and no survival advantage
is created.
When you get down to the facts the
archerfish with one squirt of its gills shoots down Charles Darwin's entire
theory of evolution and that by Darwin's own admission!!!
So evolution doesn't have the answer to this
mystery. But the Bible does. Genesis 1:20-21 says that God created all
the creatures that live in the water. He created a great variety of
perfectly formed fish including the archerfish with all its special
features such as binocular vision other specialized organs and a built in
ability to compenste for the distortion of the water

There is a television program that addresses this very subject called "Creation in the 21st Century". It is on the Trinity Broadcasting network (www.tbn.org) on Tuesday Evenings. Creation in the 21st Century Hosted by Dr. Carl Baugh, the foremost doctor on creation science. Presenting scientific evidence for creation and design by a personal creator. You can visit the website at www.creationevidence.org. This is a very interesting 30 minutes. Dr. Baugh shows proof of the truth he speaks from the museum in Glenrose Texas.

It's kinda wierd becasue the Garden of Eden was near Africa and God created the planet features first then the lower life forms then the higher ones then lastly he created man.

Its the ultimate question. And you live in a country where the debate rages on between science and secular belief structures and those from the camp of divine creation. Its something that has not been proven one way or the next which is in itself quite handy for us as humans since it is in our nature to believe in what we want to believe in. As far as that Africa thing; that group of historians chummed around with scientists with backgrounds in carbon dating etc. etc. (you know, figuring out how old them bones are). I guess they figured the oldest came from the African continent. Good luck in your quest for knowledge (don't let it warp your soul).

Look around. This world is a very beautiful place. Everything has to have a creator. A house just doesn't evolve into a house. Someone has to create it!

See it is all conspiracy. Whatever the historians / bible say about creation of man etc is all guess work. They are only fooling us. Anything to which there is no reliable eye witness can be safely taken to be false.

Man wasnt there to see creation, God was. Who are you going to believe?
Putting faith in the Bible telling the truth is the same as putting faith in man for telling us that we evolved. One requires a creator, the other says man can do it by himself.
