Do you believe that the diversity of life on earth is the outcome of a blind purposeless process? That is what evolution teaches.
But we see exquisite features of design all around us in nature. They are not an illusion! To believe in a world without purpose is *self* delusion.
A far better explanation is that the Lord Jesus Christ created each kind of organism with inherent capabilities to diversify, so that they could fill the earth, and give glory to their Creator.

President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have started using the term “freedom of worship” instead of “freedom of religion.”
That small change has vast implications should those words signal a change in official policy. Freedom of religion implies your freedom to assemble, proselytize, and conduct your personal life in a manner reflective of your religious beliefs. Freedom of worship is and can be limited to mere personal and private expressions of religious beliefs, negating all public demonstrations of what one believes. Worship can be confined to a designated place—or restricted to one’s private thoughts.
Remember Mark Twain’s observation? “The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter.”

Why do so many “Christians” and “churches” waver on the fundamental doctrines of the Bible? How can they deny God the power and might to create the world in six days? Why do they deny the detailed account of a flood that covered the entire world? When will they realize that they are treading on dangerous ground by turning God’s inerrant and inspired Word into a supposedly flawed book of myths mixed with history?
As we think of the birth of Jesus this month, we must remember that the Son of God not only created the world with great purpose, but that He also came to us to fulfill one grand purpose—the salvation of our souls. It’s so clear in Scripture—from Genesis to Revelation.
When “the reason for the season” is torn away from the pages of the Bible, why should we be surprised that Christian teachers—some calling themselves evangelicals—describe God as an evolutionist? May God have mercy on them!
And may God grant us all a renewed determination to take and maintain our stand for the Creator and His holy Word.
