The
Creation Theory and the Evolution Theory Are Interdependent
Neither
can subsist without the other
Part I
PURPOSE
The
purposes of this brief document are primarily two: (a)
Confirm, utilizing the scientific
proof offered by the supporters of the Theory of Evolution, the basic
tenets of the Theory of Creation; and
(b) Show the consequences of when man persists in his denial of God - he keeps making the
same mistakes
without learning anything
from previous errors regardless of how
painful the consequences were.
INTRODUCTION
If you ask a room full of individuals what came first, the chicken or
the egg, the answers will pour in as a torrent as everyone gives
his/her opinion as the "correct" answer. Most likely, few stopped to
think about the issue before speaking. And most, without a doubt, spoke
without any real knowledge about the subject at hand.
The same is true with both the Creation and Evolution theorists. Should
they be asked which theory is correct, they will respond with the same
passion - before even
looking at the very facts they wield as proofs.
DETAILS
Let us look at the scientific facts utilized by the Big Bang
proponents,
using language accessible to all:
(A)
In the beginning there was not even "nothing" since only the concept of
"space" gives meaning to the concept of "nothingness". We do not know
what was
before
the Big Bang; it does not even make sense where it started because when
it
took place, not only matter and energy were created, but also space and
time were created - thus "where" did not exist before.
(B) Then, in an instant, the
universe was formed - infinitely small, dense and hot. We do not know
what
occurred during the first instants after the Big Bang because the four
forces which today determine the behavior of matter - gravity,
electromagnetism and nuclear forces, which count as two: strong and
weak - were united in
one single unit, the details of which we have not been able to
decipher. A second later,
when the Universe had the size of a melon,
the Laws of Physics, probably just as we know them now.
(C) All remained dark until
300,000 years or so later
("later" not "ago"), when the matter had been dispersed enough in
space created to suddenly release light in a flash which
illuminated the entire
Universe.
Let us look at the
Biblical facts
utilized by the Creationist
proponents using accessible language:
(A) Biblically
speaking, before
the beginning there was nothing... Creation had not commenced.
(B) In the
beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was
without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
(C) And God said: Let there
be
light: and there was light.
[(A) - (C)
from Genesis 1:1-3]
With their
Scientific basis
- Evolutionists proceed to "create"
living things from chemical elements that came from nowhere (as
scientifically
proven). This is a problem that man cannot begin to even fathom
- "nowhere" is a term defined by a Created environment, an environment
which did
not exist before creation. Thus, this "nowhere" cannot even be grasped
by the very feeble human
mind.
With their
Biblical basis
-
Creationists proceed to "create" living things from the literal
interpretation of Genesis. The problem is that their version starts
falling apart at the seams before even getting to Chapter Three of the
Book of Genesis. We read in Genesis two different stories about the
Creation of man: (a) the
simultaneous creation of Adam and Eve [Genesis
1: 26-28], and (b) the Adam first and Eve
from Adam's rib [Genesis 2: 7-24].
[Note, we are not questioning that if God, for example, said "There it
be light,"
light came into being. We are just highlighting two different Biblical
versions of a
single reality which cannot
be sustained by literalism.]
Now, this difference could possibly be smoothed over by a fast talking
fundamentalist preacher. The
real problem comes when we read:
"And
the Lord said unto him (Cain), Therefore
whosoever slayeth Cain,
vengeance
shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain,
lest any finding him
should kill him. And Cain went out from the
presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of
Eden. And Cain knew
his wife; and she conceived, and bare
Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after
the name of his son, Enoch." [Genesis 4: 15-17]
By whom is Cain afraid of being killed? According to our literal
population census
there are only three individuals in the world so far: Adam, Eve and
Cain. As if this situation were not enough, we must ask: Where did Cain get that wife?
etc.
By this time the Creationists and Evolutionists are most likely engaged
in a bitter debate ignoring the very fact that Evolutionists have scientifically proven
that the core of the Creationist Theory is really true:
There
is really a Creator Who created and contains the Universe that we
know. There is a Creator Who has
the power to, in a moment too small to measure by man, launch the
Creation
of an enormously complex, harmonious and self-correcting
system that we call the
Universe and which is our home.
Now,
what one wants to call that Creator is up to the individual,
the language spoken and the individual cultural traditions.
Regarding
"...what one wants to call
that Creator is up to the individual,
the language spoken and cultural traditions."
miguel de
Portugal says:
I call Him God, marvelously manifested
in three distinct "Persons" -
Father, Son and Holy Ghost. You wish to call Him Allah?, Fine! Yahweh?,
Fine!,
Jehovah? Fine! Elohim? Fine! But I tell you something, my friend, I am
not going to sit around
arguing useless points and
much less kill those who do not believe as I do.
That
you do not understand, or accept the concept of the Trinity? Fine! If
you do not understand something so simple - as we have shown through
the Grace of God (1)
- it is because God Wills that you do not understand it yet. Anyone who really knows
God - not just talks about Him - Loves and Respects his neighbors
and their beliefs. And just as Jesus taught, this Love (2) and Respect will move
even the most unruly neighbor to respect you, first, and then love
you too.
Let us not forget that,
after all, "in the beginning" God made very clear that man was not
empowered nor justified to kill another man - even an evil
murderer such as
Cain. Furthermore, He established the
consequences of such action when He pronounced: Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain,
vengeance
shall be taken on him sevenfold. [Genesis 4:15]
miguel de
Portugal concludes:
If I am going to obey someone and live
according to the laws that said
"someone" has made manifest to mankind (using a myriad of proven
supernatural techniques), I am going to obey That One Who has such
Power
and Perfect Wisdom as to Create this Universe and Who has so much Love
to sustain it in spite of man's proven stupidity!
CONCLUSION
We do not mean that we should
not take some parts
of
the Holy
Scriptures literally;
some
of it must be taken exactly as
written. Some of the Holy Scriptures is written in an
allegorical
fashion to express to the man of that time something that he could not
possibly comprehend otherwise.
Imagine someone reading in the Holy Scriptures the following passage
one
hundred years ago:
"In
the beginning there was nothing, not even 'space' (which would give
meaning to the concept of 'nothingness'). We do not know what was
before
the Big Bang; it does not even make sense where it started
because it was when it
took place, not only matter and energy were created, but also space and
time were created."
Followed by:
"We
do not know what
occurred during the first instant after the Big Bang because the four
forces which today determine the behavior of matter - gravity,
electromagnetism and nuclear forces, strong and weak - were united in
one single unit"
However, even the earliest man could understand "Thou shalt not kill"
and "Thou shalt not commit adultery". Furthermore, after Jesus
resurrected the decomposing corpse of His friend Lazarus, people could
then
comprehend the concept of He Himself being resurrected by the same
power Lazarus was resurrected - God, The Father.
We have expanded the discussion about of Biblical
literalism in a
two part document. (3)
EPILOGUE
As the reader may readily see, evil has been (and continues to be) the
only winner of this
and similar arguments.
I made my choice, through the Grace of God and not by any merit of my
own, in 1985 (4)?
What is your choice going to be? More killing, plundering
and pillaging? Or, more loving God above all and your neighbors as
yourself?
When you make the choice keep in mind that God will be more lenient (5) with those who kill,
plunder and pillage out of
ignorance (6) than
with those who use His Most Holy Name to engage in such satanic
behavior - I do not care which Pope (7), King, President (8) or equivalent may have
approved (or will approve) of it - the word of man does not supersede
the confirmed Word of God.
There
is a Site (9) which claims to
have a
considerable amount of valid scientific information
regarding the true age of our planet Earth. In a nutshell, the
data they present indicate that our planet is not as old as it is
believed to be; a few thousands of years as opposed to millions of
years.
We cannot even entertain such conclusion as you will
see in Part 2 of this document and in the seventh document of this
series, yet to be published, and to which we have chosen to give the
title of: The Greatest Story Ever
Told : The Creation - From
Its Beginning to Its End
