Ye often hear it said ...
“We are just the
same as the animals.”
but the Genesis account makes a major distinction
(Gen. 2:7) ...
“Then the LORD God
formed man of dust from the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;
and man became a living soul.”
This was a unique and different creation than that of the
animals. Gen 1:27 states: “And God created man in His own image, in the image
of God He created him ...” These statements are not made with regard to any of
the animals, nor is there the least bit implication that God used the animals
as a means for creating man. Evolution is anti-God in that it makes no
distinction between mankind and the animals; how could there be if we evolved
from them? Is it any wonder that many today will oppose hunting and the rasing
of livestock for meat while at the very same time favoring the slaughter of
unborn and partially born babies? These are some logical conclusions of faith
in evolution.
What is worldly about evolution? Everything. It is a
teaching of man; it goes counter to God-given common sense (Rom. 1:18f); it
makes assumptions that are incapable of being validated; it degrades mankind;
and, it denies the necessity for there even being a God. It is worldly because
without a worldly inclination no one would have ever dreamed it up, nor would
they have given it any credibility. It appeals to those who would be free from
God and the influences of what He has revealed in His holy word. Let us not be
deceived by it, or by the priesthood of scientists who covet the control of our
minds.
