Unfortunately, many don’t realize that evolution is not science but simply a belief that everything created itself without God. This faith contradicts the facts and is not capable of explaining the creation of this complex world.

Why Is Biblical Creation So Important?

Biblical Creation identifies God. Today we see confusion in the word “God”. For different people, this word may be a set of moral standards, high power or idea, the universe, or the person himself. The first verse in the Bible tells us who God is. He is the Creator, not just an idea or a moral standard. The whole Bible testifies of that. The first 11 chapters of Genesis point us to Him Who is this only historical Creator.

Creation defines a person. A person is not just the body. He is created in the image of God for eternal communication with Him. This means that we are moral and spiritual creatures, with the ability to trust, choose, and love. Creation is the foundation of our worship and praise to God. “Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created.” Psalm 148:5

In this way, worshipping God is not just a hobby in the lives of people, but the main point. Not worshipping God means being unthankful and ungrateful to the Creator. Evolution teaches that a person is the result of an accidental naturalistic process, differing very little from animals. Acceptance of evolution is one of the reasons why so many people do not reverence God.

The value and meaning of a person’s life were established during creation. Each one of us is valuable because behind our existence stands the eternal God, and not the blind power of nature. God tells us that His purpose for us is to learn His ways, to have eternal communication with Him and to fulfill His blessed will. This is what He created us for. Unfortunately, many people live meaningless, pointless life. They reject God and His plan. The evolution propaganda steals the meaning from people’s lives, starting from the very first grades. This lie plunges millions into an empty life. Look around, and notice how many people aimlessly wander through their senseless life. Careers, money, and other values can not replace the purpose that was established by Christ in creation.

Biblical creation is the foundation of the Gospel. What is the Gospel? The answer seems obvious. The Gospel is the story of Jesus dying for the sins of humanity and rising from the dead.

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein I stand… for I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures” 1 Corinthians 15:1,3,4

However, the apostle doesn’t stop defining the Gospel here; he continues: “For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.” 1 Corinthians 15:21, 22 “And so it is written, the first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.” 1 Corinthians 15:45

When explaining why Jesus dies for sins, Paul points to the Book of Genesis and the story of Adam and the first sin. What is sin? Sin is a person’s rebellion against God. The only way to understand and define sin – is accepting the creation story in the Book of Genesis. Evolution teaches that there was no creation, no Adam, and no sin (though there were evolving and dying monkey-people) and therefore, sin doesn’t exist, and Jesus never died for a problem that doesn’t exist. According to evolution, death itself is the creator of a person. In such a way, evolution attacks the very base of the Gospel.

What Is Historical Creation and Fall of The Man?

All people, being Adam’s successors, are sinners who have lost holiness and purity and moved far away for the standards of the Holy God, replacing His truth with their lies. The death of a person (both physical and spiritual) came with sin as a result of casting out God.

People are in need of salvation. The fall of man was a moral, spiritual, and intellectual collapse. Now a person is spiritually dead. Instead of having peace with God, he resisted Him, doing sinful deeds. Converting to God leads to a rebirth of the soul and renewal of the mind.

Biblical Creation is the foundation of hope and restoration of the creation. In the creation itself is hope for resurrection. He Who created us has the power to resurrect our mortal bodies. When mankind sinned, death came into the world and God condemned all creation, which is now in the bondage of death. “For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.” Romans 8:22. According to the Bible, we don’t live in an evolving world, but in a world dying from sin.

However, on the cross, God redeemed not only mankind, but all His creation, which will be restored in the future into “a new heaven and a new earth”. Evolution steals any hope of eternity by teaching that death and extinction were always present.

Conclusion

How vastly different are the worldviews that are founded on either creation or evolution! Many people do not understand and defy the Gospel of Jesus Christ by thinking (even unconsciously) that the story of origins is evolution, death, and extinction over the course of millions of years. May many people find out more of the bankruptcy of evolution and that the scientific facts are on the side of the Bible, God’s Word. All of creation, without mistake, very beautifully testifies of its Creator!
