The Big Bang Finally Figured Out! Well, Maybe Not Exactly.





     It simply amazes me every time there is fresh breaking news that someone has figured out how the big bang or some other evolutionary myth happened. Shockingly, proponents of these stories feel they have finally figured out what occurred billions of years ago. By the way, I should add as a disclaimer that I do not believe the world was created anywhere near billions of years ago. Read this recent article from Fox News: http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/11/09/scientists-create-worlds-mini-big-bang/?test=faces.

     I would like to see the scientific community first remove all the tools they used to simulate this experiment. Then remove everything else they used. Then remove all the air that is in the experimental zone. Then remove every force that might influence the experiment. Additionally, they could not use anything in the experiment. If they can simulate the big bang after that, then we would have some breaking news.

     The Apostle Paul warned that the day would come when people would believe in myths rather than God’s truth, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.” 2 Timothy 4:3, 4 (NKJV). I believe we are living in the day that Paul was talking about.

     Because not one of us were eye witnesses to our world’s creation, the only way we could ever know what occurred in the beginning is if someone who was there tells us. Fortunately for us, the One who created our world told us, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1 (NKJV). And speaking specifically of the second member of our Triune God, Jesus Christ, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” John 1:1—3 (NKJV).

     Don't allow science to create a false god in your mind through the myth of evolution and the big bang. Consider the Apostle Paul’s sermon to the Athenians, who worshipped many gods that they created in their minds:

     Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious; for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription:

          TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.

     Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you: God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising. Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”

     And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked, while others said, “We will hear you again on this matter.” So Paul departed from among them. However, some men joined him and believed, among them Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

Acts 17:22—34 (NKJV) (underlined emphasis added).

     Don’t keep groping in the dark for the unknown god who evolved the big bang. The only true God is the God of the Bible, and He is not far from you. The scientists of this world will come up with newer and newer theories on how our world was created. Forget them! Listen to the One who was there!

     If you hear His voice, do as Jesus commanded, “Repent, and believe in the gospel.” Mark 1:15b (NKJV).

Which Came First, the Chicken or the Egg?

Chicken-and-Egg Mystery Finally Cracked
http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/07/14/chicken-egg-mystery-finally-cracked/?test=latestnews

     Why this is even something to discuss is beyond my comprehension. Once again, science proves what the Bible has been saying all along. Someone had to make the chicken first! 

     To a rational mind, this finding would beg the question, who then made the chicken? I mean, if the egg didn’t make itself, then someone or something had to make it, right? However, the above article indicates (last line in the article) that the big question arising from this discovery is, “It is hoped the discovery leads to the invention of new materials.” 

     The Bible made it very clear who created the first chicken:

So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”

Genesis 1:21, 22 (NKJV).

     The Bible also made it very clear that one day people would give up rational thought in favor of whatever their minds would prefer over God:

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

2 Timothy 4:3, 4 (NKJV).

     Do you believe that the chickens, and even you, were made through a cosmic collision of space particles? Do you believe that you are an accident, a freak of nature? I personally don’t have enough faith to be an atheist. There is way too much evidence that a Holy and Awesome God made all these creatures and all this stuff around us.

     If you believe there is no God, and that as complex as you are, you were made through the fable of evolution, please reconsider. You don’t  believe that the watch on your wrist came into being all by itself, why would you believe that you did?

     Genesis is not a fable, evolution is.  Here are two excellent websites if you are interested in learning more on the folly of evolution:

     Know this too, there will come a day when you will stand before your Creator. His word promises that in this life, you can receive the reward of eternal life by repenting from your sins and trusting that Jesus Christ took the penalty you deserve because of your sins. If you do not, the Bible promises that the day is coming when “the dead [will be] judged according to their works.” Revelation 20:12b (NKJV).

     Before you dismiss this silly article about who came first, consider what works you will be judged for. Have you ever lied? Taken anything that didn’t belong to you, regardless of it’s value? Looked with lust at someone not your spouse? Jesus calls that adultery of the heart. See Matthew 5:27, 28. Have you ever been unrighteously angry? Road rage maybe? Or foolishly angry at your brother or sister? Jesus calls that murder in the heart. See Matthew 5:21, 22.

     Those are just four of the Ten Commandments. The good that you have done might mitigate your sentence on Judgment Day, but it will not erase your guilt for breaking the Law of God. The reason you feel guilty when you do these things is that God put a conscience in your heart to alert you to His law, for the purpose of driving you towards repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.

     You are guilty, and you will still be guilty on Judgment Day, no matter how much good you do before you die. But you don't have to be guilty, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 (NKJV). Reject the foolishness of this world. Repent from your foolish way and believe in the One who died in your place, then your sins and your guilt will be removed, “As far as the east is from the west.” Psalm 103:12a (NKJV).

Earth Day 2010 – Do You Worship the Earth?

     April 22, 2010 was Earth Day. I didn’t even know until my daughter told me. Now it makes sense why for the past week or so I noticed that the cartoons my kids were watching had a more than normal emphasis on being Green and caring for our planet.

     On the one hand, it’s so aggravating to see all the climate crazy, global warming nonsense, and it really drives me nuts to see cartoons that I think are safe for my kids trying to pump that worldview into them. However, on the other hand, shouldn’t we be good stewards of this wonderful planet that God gave us?

     This is where I think we need to draw the line. Which do you love more: God, Mankind, or the Earth? I think we should love those three in that order, and only in that order. I don’t think I need to point this out, but for the sake of anyone who may not realize it, the overarching theme of the Bible is that God must be first. It is the first of the Ten Commandments and, “Jesus said [], “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment.” Matthew 22:37—38 (NKJV).

     Now, consider the role God gave Mankind in relation to the Earth:

     Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Genesis 1: 26—28 (NKJV). By the way, the Bible never mentions the word “Trinity,” but did you notice the presence of the Trinity in that passage?

     Back in the Garden of Eden (yes, I believe it was a real place), Adam and Eve worshipped God and had dominion over the Earth. Look how far we’ve fallen now. Over the last one hundred years or so, God has increasingly been pushed out of our lives, and the Earth has been elevated over Mankind in importance. The order most of our world now worships is: Earth, Mankind … and sorry God, no room for you.

     The Apostle Paul explained that this reversal comes from the fact that we love our sin more than our Creator, so God has given us what we wanted:

     For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 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, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

     Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Romans 1:18—25 (NKJV).

     My point is not that you should start throwing all your garbage on the side of the road, and creating as much pollution as you possibly can. We have a duty, as the caretakers of the Earth, to take care of it. I’m completely pro-recycling for that purpose. My only point is to make sure your priorities are right. We do not have the ability to destroy the Earth on our own, because God owns and controls the Earth:

The earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness,

     The world and those who dwell therein.

For He has founded it upon the seas,

     And established it upon the waters.

Psalm 24:1, 2 (NKJV). Furthermore, it will not be us who destroy the Earth through global warming, but God Himself, “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.” 2 Peter 3:10 (NKJV).

     Read some of the below linked articles critically and with an open mind, and consider who is really in charge of the Earth.  Think about how mixed up and confused the scientific community is about global warming.

     Putting your faith in Mother Nature will not help you on Judgment Day when you face God the Father! Get right with God today by repenting from your sin, and trusting that God the Son, Jesus Christ, took the penalty from God the Father that you deserve. It’s not an easy thing to do because it requires humbling our pride, but I did it, and so could you!
