[0:00] The Bible says that the heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament showeth his handiwork. [0:18] The heavens declare the glory of God. When we go out there later tonight, we see the stars in the daytime, we see the wonders of creation. Life came from an intelligent designer and there's really no conflict between biblical faith and reason. [0:32] Creation is the most reasonable explanation for what we see around us today. It's like someone figured out from Genesis 1.1 where it says, In the beginning, so they had time, God, an external force, created the heavens, space, and earth, matter. [0:53] So it's got those factors there. Time, an external force, space, and matter. And faith in evolution breaks many scientific laws that have been proven. [1:06] For example, the first law of thermodynamics. It states that matter or energy cannot be destroyed or created. Matter cannot come into being by itself. The alternative evolutionists have is to believe that matter is eternal. [1:22] And that would break another scientific law called the second law of thermodynamics, which says that entropy is increasing. In other words, usable energy is running out. So energy runs out is the basic pre-see of that law too. [1:37] And everyone understands that a watch or a clock has a creator, has a maker. And yet we see around us the macrocosm and microcosm of our world. [1:49] So macro meaning space and the universe that we see at large. And microcosm meaning something small and tiny like the hairs on your hand or the cells in your skin. [2:03] When you see the complexity of the macro and micro, you see there must be a designer behind it. It didn't come about by accident. Now in Darwin's day, they didn't know the reality of the complexity of DNA. [2:19] DNA. It's been said that DNA is by far the most compact information storage and retrieval system known to man. It's infinitely complex. [2:30] The DNA, which goes behind all of life matter that we see about us, and we know that everyone has a telltale DNA signature, their own individual make-up. [2:41] And the pinhead, a pinhead of DNA has a billion times more information capacity than a four gigabyte hard drive. [2:53] Just that fraction, that minute portion of DNA has got so much information in it. And DNA by itself is so complex. [3:05] It doesn't come by accident. Look at our own bodies, at the dozens of enzymes and other things that the human body produces from food, as well as the awesome nature of the mystery of life itself. [3:18] It demands a creator. Darwin didn't have that kind of information when he came about this story, this theory of evolution. Even the eye itself needs a creator, the complexity of a human eye. [3:33] And yet, scientists today, they scour the skies, they scour space with special telescopes, massive radio telescopes, hoping to get some kind of message from outer space, from another planet, that there's going to be some radio signal that they'll pick up, that's originated from another planet. [3:53] And all the while, evolutionists ignore the incredible complex evidence that's within the human skin, within our human make-up, within ourselves, within DNA, our very building block of who we are. [4:07] And while we're waiting to hear these signs from outer space, to get this sign, to hear this message, this signal of intelligence in outer space from some interstellar communication, we're ignoring those messages, that message that is inside us, is within the human body, the complexity of information in the DNA molecule. [4:33] Now, young people, we know, are getting exposed to this theory of evolution as if it's a fact, but really it's science fiction. It's not true at all. [4:43] An evolutionist effectively has to believe that intelligence or DNA came from non-intelligence, that the dumb stuff made the smart stuff, that somehow it just came out of some little pond, this primordial swamp, that somehow it came about of its own self. [5:07] And yet, matter had to exist to create matter. Something had to be there at the beginning. And we know what was there at the beginning, don't we? In the beginning, God. [5:19] In the beginning, God. That's where it came from. And another fact is what they call the irreducible complexity of an organ or a system. [5:30] For example, your respiratory system, your nervous system, all of the systems of your body, all of the complexity that makes up just one system within your body. [5:44] It's astonishing, the complexity of that. And you couldn't have one component of that system without another. Nothing works until everything works. And so, there's just no way such a system could evolve of its own doing. [6:00] And just to wrap up, think of it just to compare in closing, comparing evolution with creation. Evolution says you're a product of time, chance and matter. [6:13] Creation says there was intelligent design that made you, that made you in the image and likeness of God. Evolution says you can control your own destiny. [6:24] You're just a freak accident of nature. Creation says you've been created, young people, older people, as an object of God's love with an eternal destiny, with an eternal hope if you choose it, an eternal gift if you receive it. [6:44] Evolution says you can do what comes naturally. There's no one to be accountable to. There's no one to answer to. Do what you feel like doing. There's no one to give an account to. [6:59] Creation says God loves you too much to have you throw your life away. He has something more. He has something that makes life make sense. [7:10] Something beyond this life. Evolution says your life is a meaningless existence without purpose. Creation says you've been created to have the opportunity to know Christ, to know eternal life, to find and experience relationship with your creator and designer. [7:32] Evolution says there's no meaningful relationships. It's all fluke and chance and haphazard circumstance. Creation says there is a purpose. [7:42] There's a reason why you've been placed here. There's someone that you have to give account to. There's someone who wants you to find his everlasting life, that abundant life. Creation is such a contrast, isn't it, to evolution. [7:57] Evolution says there's no regard for life, for young or old, abortion, euthanasia, life is just not really that important at all. [8:09] It's just all about accidental happenstance. Creation says that God has given you a handbook for life. God has given you the message that makes life make sense, that message of life forever in his will, life forever, because of his gift, because of his work of Calvary, because he came and bled and died and took our punishment, our penalty to take our place. [8:40] There's a reason for life. Evolution says live for yourself. It's the survival of the fittest. Creation says live for Christ. Live for Christ. [8:51] Find that destiny for which you have been created. Choose Christ. Choose life. Choose his everlasting life. People today, the choice is clear. Evolution or creation? [9:04] I just want to urge you to find the answer that in the beginning, God. In the beginning, God. And in the end, God. And everything in between. And here's Alpha and Omega. [9:16] He's the beginning and the end. He's the same yesterday, today and forever. And he is the one that makes life worth living. He is the one we can experience personally. Let us pray. [9:27] Lord, we thank you today for what we've learned about Darwin. We know, Lord, at this time that it's an anniversary of his birth and of his book. [9:40] Lord, we pray, help us to see how we can combat this lie that is evolution. That we might promote the truth to those that are about us. [9:51] Help these young people in the school system have to face this bombardment with these lies. Lord, help them, Lord, to find the truth and to know what it is that there is a creator. [10:05] And you are the one to whom we have to give account. The one who's made that everlasting life possible for each one who will trust you. [10:16] That each one might come to that personal place of trusting you, we pray. In Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. [10:28] Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. [10:40] Amen. [11:10] Amen.
