There is a theory among some Christians
that maybe God created the world and the things in it
through the organic evolutionary process. This is an obvious
attempt to combine macro evolution (being taught in our
public schools) and the Bible. But if we read the Bible
carefully, we see that this cannot be true.
One verse as a case in point would be
Romans 1:20: “For since the creation of the world His
invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by
the things that are made, even His eternal power and
Godhead, so that they are without excuse.” I have a question
for those who believe that God created all things through
the process of the current theory of organic evolution: “If
God’s power has been clearly seen since the creation of the
world, whom has it been seen by?” The evolutionary theory
claims that man is a latecomer in the grand scheme of things
(coming over 4 billion years after the earth). Then who has
seen the creation since the world began? It is obvious that
it is man, since the Bible states that man was created on
day 6 of the creation week (Gen. 1).
This verse states that all we have to do
is open our eyes and heart, and we will not only see that
“God did it”, but that God did it the way He says He did.
