When you know the Creator because you have come to know Jesus Christ, there’s only one answer:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made. (John 1:1-3)
For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible… All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. (Colossians 1:16-17)
Faith in evolution is therefore a rejection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
[And] in this final age [God] has spoken to us in the Son whom He has made heir to the whole universe, and through whom He created all orders of existence: the Son who is the effulgence of God’s splendour and the stamp of God’s very being, and sustains the universe by His Word of power. (Hebrews 1:2-3)
Why think it strange that God Almighty can simply speak things into being? That God chose to take as long as six days over His creation is surely because God is love and He took great delight in His work. The fact is: because He is God, He can do anything, howsoever he chooses, and as fast or slow as He likes!
The Big Bang Theory? It is plain that some things must first be created in order to explode! Only God can create something from nothing. Order cannot come from an explosion, as man’s own laws of physics amply demonstrate. There is overwhelming evidence for intelligent design by the Creator; and for scientists to ignore it beggars belief. It takes a whole lot more faith to believe in the Big Bang theory than it does to believe in the creation account in the Bible.
Why is this so important? Because if man is the supposed random freak of cosmic chaos, man is not accountable to God and had no need of redemption or the Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
However, the Bible teaches that man did not evolve from the proverbial primordial ooze, fish or apes, without purpose or significance; but he was specially created in love by a loving God for a loving relationship with Him. When, therefore, man needed salvation, God responded in love and sent Jesus Christ.
