Don Deffenbaugh Evangelist CREATION vs EVOLUTION All thinking people must, eventually deal with the problem of origins and one's answer to this I problem is of utmost importance, It is important because it will determine much of your thinking religiously. Henry M. Morris in EVOLUTION AND THE MODERN CHRISTIAN says, "One's beliefs concerning origins will inevitably condition his beliefs concerning ultimate destines." It will also determine your view of yourself. You must eventually decide if you are wholly animal or flesh and spirit as the Bible teaches.

Your answer to the problem of origins is important because it will determine much of your thinking socially. It will determine your view of your fellowman. Is he simply the best of the animal kingdom and to be treated as one would treat a pen of slaughter cattle? Most human beings recognize that man is different from mere animals because we kill thousands of cattle every day but become disturbed when a mere 100 human beings are killed in an air crash. Basically we have two choices in this matter. (1) That man evolved from some lower (non-human) form of life.

(2) That man was created by God in the beginning. Because the Biblical record of origins is considered by some to be "pre-scientific" it has become easier to accept the evolutionary hypothesis than the Biblical account of creation. It is not too much to say, however, that the evolutionary philosophy, consistently accepted and applied, squarely contradicts Biblical Christianity in every essential feature. Do you realize that the problem of origins is outside the realm of science? True science simply observes things as they are, being able to penetrate the past only so far as observation allows, and the future only to the extent that experience has led. In this case when the evolutionary hypothesis is accepted as the method of explaining origins it actually becomes a philosophy.

For the serious student, then it becomes a question of "Which has the most evidence to support its case, the evolutionary hypothesis, or the Biblical account?" To properly study this matter would involve a very lengthy period of time and the very best we can do is to simply summarize some of the matters involved It will be the purpose of this series of articles to look at (1) The Mosaic record of creation, (2) Proofs of evolution, (3) Problems created by the evolutionary hypothesis, (4) The results of evolution.

I A THOUGHT FOR I By AnnMooney In a group discussion not too long it WHS asked why people curso in corivorswlion. II was noted with that some cussers art- successful, brillianl men, capable of good speech. Cussing is a habit one acquires to add impact to words. Those who lace language with profanity do it because they fear normal expression lacks strength to put a point across. There is no question that the cussing habit can be broken.

One man in I he group told an interesting story, lie related how, years ago, his three-year-old boy stumbled and slublx'd his loe. The child let out with an explosive barrage of cussing which shocked his mother and dad. Before Hicy could say anything, the child slyly sensed Iheir shock. In the quick of a wink, he changed from sinner to saint and started to sing, "Jesus loves me, this 1 know, for Ihc Bible tells me so." The fellow told how he and his wife, while shocked, had to inwardly chuckle over (he surprisingly quick transition of the little rascal. Since hit hits are mostly formed by association or example, especially with impressionable youngsters, both parents decided and there to never use even mild profanity ever again.
