GENESIS 1:1\u20132:7<\/b><\/p>\n
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being<\/i><\/p>\n
(Gen. 2:7)<\/i>.<\/p>\n
The activity of the Spirit bursts onto the scene from the very dawn of history. The Scriptures tell us that the Spirit of God hovered over the darkness, over the chaos that would be fashioned into this universe we now call home. The drama of human history began by the power of the Spirit in the creation of life.<\/p>\n
This is a fact that has been denied by today\u2019s secular educational system. Because so many Christians are educated in government schools, we must be on our guard against the lies of the world. Evolution as a theory<\/i> has been replaced, ever so blatantly, by evolution as a fact<\/i>. From preschool to college, the theory that the universe exploded into being without cause or design is propagated in nearly every subject. God as creator, as the sovereign, personal Being who made everything according to its own kind has been left totally out of the picture. Creation is considered contrary to science and therefore unaccepted in scientific discourse.<\/p>\n
But creation is the truth. The Spirit of God created life. He set the stars in the heavens, established the boundaries of the sea, raised the dry land, and inhabited it with animals of all kinds. God breathed His life-giving Spirit into man and fashioned him in His own image. Job 26:13 says, \u201cBy His Spirit He adorned the heavens,\u201d and Psalm 104 says, \u201cYou take away their breath, they die and return to their dust. You send forth Your Spirit, they are created; and You renew the face of the earth.\u201d<\/p>\n
God, the first cause of all things, created the universe by the power of His will. He gave life through His Spirit and endowed man with his intellectual, moral, spiritual, and emotional qualities. He alone is the source of all life, knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. Without the Holy Spirit, all is dead and devoid of meaning, but in Him we have life and a foundation for existence. Let us not deny Him His due by espousing such philosophical and \u201cscientific\u201d atrocities as evolution. This man-centered theory robs God of His glory\u2014glory that He shares with no one. Like the saints of old, let us not be ashamed of the Word. In the face of scoffing and scorn, let us hold fast to the revealed Word. Rest on its truth, not on the changing notions of human intelligence.<\/p>\n

Read Genesis 1. How is this account of creation irreconcilable with the theory of evolution? If you are unclear on evolutionary theory, look it up in an encyclopedia and compare what you read to our text. Darwin\u2019s theory claims to be scientifically formed, but fails empirical testing. How is it, therefore, \u201creligious\u201d in nature?<\/p>\n
