Did you know that next to the biblical Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, you, as a Christian, are the hottest thing in the universe! (1 Peter 2:9) says: “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” God says that you are chosen, royal, holy, and special. I like how (Deuteronomy 14:2) puts it: “for you are a people holy to the Lord your God. Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the Lord has chosen you to be his treasured possession.” Imagine that the God of the universe says you are his treasured possession! I don’t know about you but being a Christian is simply the best life possible and reading these two verses makes me feel very valuable and special to God. I have infinite worth, a special purpose in life, and an amazing future destiny.
The evolutionist, however, has a different trinity. His trinity consists of matter, time, and chance. Before I share what a belief in this unholy trinity leads to I would like to share the three big problems contained in this belief system.
The first big problem for evolutionists is explaining the origin of the first life. Evolutionists can’t explain where the original matter came from or how can information come from non-living chemicals? Thus, his belief system can’t even get off the ground.
The second big problem is that the four billion years that evolutionists say were needed to go from amoeba to man is far too short. Man’s complexity is so awesome it would take untold countless trillions of years for man to evolve from a single cell creature to who we are today, if this were at all possible. Four billion years or four trillion years – that just is not enough time. Even an infinite time period wouldn’t be enough time. Therefore, time is no hero because there just isn’t enough time available for evolution to occur.
And third, the blind random chance that evolutionists posit, is no generator of life at all. Chance is not a valid explanation – at best it would produce disorderliness, not order and complexity. If I could question the evolutionist I would ask him, What makes you feel better… Knowing you were created by chance or knowing you were created on purpose? How would this make a difference on how you lived your life?
However, for God matter is no issue since He created everything by the power of His word. As far as time goes, God doesn’t need time to create. He could have created the universe in a nano-second if He wanted to since He exists outside of time. And as far as chance – God does nothing by chance but with divine purpose in mind.
Sadly, for our evolutionist friends a belief in this unholy trinity leads to the inevitable conclusion that he came into existence from nothing and when he dies he will go back to nothing. And somehow in between these two states of nothingness he is supposed to find meaning in life! Since the evolutionist has no god to believe in he places himself as the supreme person in his universe and spends the rest of his life searching for a reason for his existence. Searching every pathway, every byway, overturning every stone, examining every philosophy, and experiencing every feeling, as he comes to the end of his journey, the answer he finds is that none exists!
Without a belief in a divine Creator, he must indeed lead a lonely life. By definition he must believe he has no soul and no immortality. Since he came into existence by chance, and not divine design, any meaning he finds in life is but a by-product of random occurrences. Even the great mysteries of our universe, that cause one to ponder just who we are and why we are here, are a closed corridor of thought to those who place God as something that exists only in one’s imagination. For the evolutionist, he will die, sadly without ever knowing why he was born in the first place; if it is only to shortly die soon after!
But praise the Lord, that there is a God called Jesus Christ. And it is this Jesus we can share with our evolutionist friends to help them reverse this bleak outlook they are chained into believing in.
YES!!!
