Creation Versus Evolution

Evolution Contradicts The

Bible

Creation versus Evolution Feb. 1, 2009

2

Introduction

• Is it possible for a Christian to

believe in evolution and still be

pleasing to God?

• Evolution = the idea that all living

things came from a single cell

• All living things developed by natural

processes from a single cell


3

Introduction

• The Bible teaches creation by

the power of God

• Which is correct?—is it evolution

or Creation?


4

Why Be Concerned?

• 1. Evolution denies God and the

Bible

• 2. It is taught in schools

• 3. It is Anti-biblical---Anti-Christ

• Evolution strikes at the heart of

inspiration and the Deity of

Christ


5

Why Be Concerned?

• 4. Because of its influence

• It is driving God from the hearts

and minds of men and women

who come under its influence

• Leads to materialism—

immorality—more crime—less

self discipline—leads to atheism


6

Evolution

• Atheistic = life came from a

single cell which was produced

by accident


7

Evolution

• Theistic = all things came from a

single living cell, but the cell was

created by God . This theory

contends that God used this

method to bring life into

existence


8

Evolution

• Evolution contradicts science

and more importantly

contradicts the Bible.


9


Bible

• Evolution says

man developed

over millions or

billions of years

as he evolved

from one cell

into what he is

today

• The Bible

teaches God

created a fully

grown man and

woman within

one day

• Gen. 1:27, 31


10


Bible

• Evolution says the

one cell or simple

matter was neither

male nor female

but slowly evolved

into sexes at the

same time-then

became able to

reproduce

• The Bible teaches

that from the

beginning there

was male and

female-with the

capability to

reproduce

• Gen. 1:28

• Mt. 19:4


12


Bible

• Evolution says

man gradually

evolved the

ability to think,

understand, talk,

choose

• The Bible says

Adam and Eve-the

first man and

woman were able

to do these things

when created

• Gen. 2:16,17

• Gen. 3:10


16


Bible

• Evolution says

man has never

been perfect---

but is getting

better and better

by the process

of evolution

• The Bible

teaches that the

first man and

woman were

perfect----but fell

by the sin of

disobedience

• Gen. 3:6,7


19


Bible

• Evolution

teaches all

things evolved

from the same

cell

• The Bible

teaches all

things were

made to

reproduce “after

their kind”

• Gen. 1:12, 24


20


Bible

• Evolution teaches

that the earth came

about by a slow

process—without

God and purely by

a materialistic

process

• The Bible teaches

fiat creation =

creation by the

command of God

• Gen. 1:3,6,9,14,24

• Ps. 33:6


24


Bible

• If evolution is

true there was

no first man, no

fall, no sin, no

punishment and

no redemption

• This does away

with God’s plan

to redeem man

by the blood of

Jesus Christ

• 1 Jn. 1:7


26

Theistic Evolution Is Most

Dangerous

• Evolution does away with the

inspired, infallible, inerrant Word

of God

• Evolution and Creation cannot

be reconciled

• Those who teach evolution are

false teachers and deceivers


27

Conclusion

• We must stand against the error

of evolution---what ever form it

may be presented in

• 2Jn. 9-11
