It also teaches that mankind &#8220;evolved&#8221; over eons of time separating the initial &#8220;big bang&#8221; from the commencement of the human family. These two ideas can easily be refuted by the following biblical evidences:<\/p>\n<p>In Romans 1:20, the inspired apostle Paul states, that the &#8220;world&#8221; (Grk. kosmos &#8211; universe) was &#8220;made&#8221; (cf. John 1:3,10). The Greek word translated &#8220;made&#8221; is the word ginomai, to begin to be, i.e. to come into existence, or into any state, as implying origin either from natural causes or through special agency; hence, to become, come to pass (Bullinger&#8217;s Lexicon To The Greek NT, 1982, p. 473).<\/p>\n<p>Paul is saying that the universe is not eternal (2 Peter 3:10; cf. Psalm 102:25-26; Isaiah 51:6; Matthew 24:35); it was not self-generated. The cosmos (that which is ordered) is an &#8220;effect&#8221; which points to a Supreme Being.<\/p>\n<p>The Creator of the universe (Christ &#8211; John 1:3,10; Ephesians 3:9; Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 1:2) Himself declared in Mark 10:6 that man and woman (&#8220;male and female&#8221;) existed &#8220;from the beginning of the creation.&#8221; Thus, you can point out to folks who believe in the evolutionary theory the following facts from the above biblical evidences:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An orderly creation demands a Designer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Mankind has existed since the beginning of the creation (Matthew 19:4; Mark 10:6; cf. Genesis 1:27; Genesis 5:1-2); there is no evidence to substantiate evolution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Related Articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Big Bang Theory vs. God&#8217;s Word <\/li>\n<li>The Age of the Earth <\/li>\n<li>Our Universe  A Great Machine<\/li>\n<li>The Creation Week  Reflections on Genesis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evolution teaches that the creation of the universe was self-generated; that it just &#8220;happened&#8221; (Big Bang Theory).
