In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:1
Once upon a time was a king who fancied nice clothing. He wanted the best and was willing to pay the highest price for it. An unscrupulous but enterprising man came upon the scam for the ages. He convinced the king that he had a team of weavers who could make him a garment out of a thread that only the discerning and pure in heart could see. Conversely, the foolish and ignorant man would not be able to see it.
The day came when the unscrupulous man presented to the king the garment that did not exist. The king could not see it. The king's attendants could not see it. The king's court could not see it. The king's subjects could not see it. But because they believed the weaver's claim that only the wise and pure in heart could see it, they all said that they could indeed see that which did not exist. It was not until a small child, obviously pure in heart, stated the obvious: The Emperor has no clothes!
We live under a similar scam today. Unscrupulous men who neither want to believe in God nor live by His rules have come up with a lie: There is no God! Further, the world was not made by intelligent design, it was just the result of a random accident. As a matter of fact, the world started when some gas blew up and formed "stuff". Where did this "gas" come from? The evolutionist believes, by faith, that it was always there... and he feels sorry those who cannot "see" it! Anyway, that "stuff" after many years formed things like DNA, cells, organs, blood and flesh. Then that "stuff" went in a bunch of different directions and formed other "stuff".
And, viola! After a few billion years all of that "stuff" evolved into the world that we all know and love. You can see that, can't you? Or are you too "stupid"?
When I look at this year's Cadillac and see that it has amazing similarities to last year's model, I don't think that one "evolved" from the other, nor do I think that the first one was a product of millions of years of "evolution". What I see is that the two models shared the same designer. When I look at a monkey and a human, I see similarities, but I do not think that one "evolved" from the other. What I see is that they share the same Designer.
When a man of God looks in the mirror, he sees a child of God. When an evolutionist looks in the mirror, he sees a descendant of apes. One man believes in the eternal God, the other man believes in eternal gasses.
Who is wise and who is foolish? Which man has greater faith? I'll leave that up to you, but I will say this: I see much more intelligence in believing in the eternal, Intelligent Designer described in Genesis, than I do in the ever shifting theory that the world and everything in it are just a result of a cosmic accident involving a bunch of gasses that were just always there.
What do you believe? May I suggest that you read the Word of God and compare it to the theories of men before you make your final decision? Wouldn't that be the intelligent thing to do?
For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - His eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made so that men are without excuse.
