Question: How did the universes begin, evolution or creation?
Answer: Of course the answer varies according to whether you are talking to someone who believes that Scientists or the Theologists (one who studies theology or the Bible) have the correct answers-these two disagree mostly in these arenas:
Theologist: Believe in a Divine Creator, that somewhere there is ONE who created from nothing all things which are both observed (seen) with the human eye and things unseen which cannot be seen with the human eye. Their bases are found upon the "personage" called GOD or in the old testament books the "I AM" which is viewed as the God of now or the present as He alway was,is, and ever shall be, and He is responsible for all Creation and that there is no other like Him, He is the only power that ever has been or shall be. Unto humanity He is called the Alpha and the Omega or the Beginning and the End this term applies from God to man and does not apply as a title for God except in description of how man views his own existence from God. There are two systems which have God's endorsment, these systems are: 1. LAW 2. GRACE, they were put in place due to man's beginning on the earth which when there was no law man did what was "right" within his own mind and mankind chose Anarchy or self-rule and what a man wanted to accomplish he simply did, today we would refer to this as the "rule of the jungle" and death and destruction prevailed. 1. God brought forth a set of rules for man to live or die by and these he brought through man for man and they contained "10" rules or commandments that people should live by and brought forth a civility code which endorsed daily living, courteousy, and respect for all life (including animals and taking care of the earth). There were governments that broke forth and set up their own form of law ran by people primarily motivated by greed,envy,jealousy,pride and other self serving emotions as they lacked love for their fellow man. These "commandments" were and are unto death, that is they can tell you the results of not obeying any one of these commands will lead you to be put to death in some form, and this being physical death, and this death to disobedience we call LAW. 1. LAW could never save a man/woman as it's instructions were to bring death to those who disobey. Soon man learned he could use the law to make himself more wealthier as being over the government of a city,state,or country he could reduce the fine or death sentence of individuals for money-much like the system we have today-one example of this type of injustice is found in the old testament when a local "prophet" sold out the men (this including women also) of Israel for gold and silver. We currently find this same type of system occurring in this country (USA) as the lack of border control, the selling and buying of goods and services by foreign governments to which oppose the USA, and this (and other actions-courtrooms, etc...) bringing about the end of "class systems" which denote a thing called "freedom" and all for the lust or love of money. The LAW then shows us that which is wrong and what action we are to take for the wrong (which in it's finality of judgment was death), there was something the LAW did not or could not do, and that was to give mankind a reason to "NOT" do the bad or wrong things and to "DO" the "good" things. ENTER-the second system which we call, 2. GRACE
Often identified as do-gooders or as one of Atom Ant songs "goody-goody two shoes" Christians (a term identified as Christ like or imitators of Christ) often withstand ridicule by those who do not wish to participate in the accomplisment of "good deeds" but do require of others to perform those same good deeds which they do not want to practice and most often identify any who perform "good deeds" as hypocrits, it's a strange twist which enables those with such criticism to feel good about themselves. Grace is often misidentified especially so in the church as the "performance of good works" this is far from the truth, but still close to home. Grace is the action or "work" as referred to in the scriptures of total 100% forgiviness for the person to whom it is bestowed upon. When a person goes before Jesus Christ, whether he/she does so publicly or just sitting at home and thinking of having a better life and thinking upon Jesus Christ and asks Christ for His mercy and forgivness and to come into his/her life and help them with that they cannot do which is to become free of guilt and shame and to begin their life anew or to acheive a fresh start from the mess of their lifestyle and degradation which they have acheived, Christ having this person's heart and soul opened up before Him does much more than they could ever imagine or think. Immediate rejoicing takes place in heaven just because you stated, Jesus, I hate who I am and what I have done, and I know you probably don't like me either, and I cannot stand me the way I am, I need help, please forgive me and reach into me and change me no matter what it costs, I want to change - it seems so simple doesn't it? and it is just that simple! So the problem existed that the more I would try to do good the worse I became and more and more I would turn toward evil even though I would try so hard to do the good, it became so easy to do the bad and as I journeyed more toward the bad I began to redefine what was bad and good. Soon you will find yourself stating that if men called this bad why did it feel so good? It is of course one of the biggest "tricks" of Satan to dangle the evil before the eyes of the looker so as to start the lust process inside your heart. One of the major draws of both your "so-called" friends and that of the drug pushers is to make the first round of drugs free to the user as he/she knows that once they have "tasted" or do the sin or drug they will like it and you will keep wanting it, this is the same approach used by the tobbacco industry only not so much. So your girlfriend entices you to try the "joint" or the boyfriend pushes you into an act of immoral behaviour that at any other time you would not want to perform, or the President of the country states this is not an immoral action, all of which defend that which they do. Sin is an odd character and wants to incorporate others in it's footsteps. The problem having taken hold leaves me distraught and torn inside to the point of dispair and then I turn to Christ. Christ then states that he will and does forgive you forever, not as many think until you sin again and must need to go back and ask Christ to forgive you again. Christ accomplishes once the act of eternal forgivness and restoration back unto the Father, so that the fear of eternal damnation to hell no longer exists in your life and without such fear you can now have true freedom to operate effectively in leading or witnessing unto others about Christ or to sin. Now if one chooses to sin he/she will feel estranged from God but the fear of eternal damnation will be gone, now if one does sin then all he/she would have to do to get back that "right" attitude toward God is but to ask much like a child who has done wrong in some manner but the mother does not punish him daily for the wrong action, but when the child states, "Mom, I'm sorry - I won't do it again". Now the mother accepts the child instantly with forgivness and realizes in all liklihood the child will repeat the same action or worse the next day or soon after. God knows we would prefer not to commit sin, especially habitually (again and again), but that most likely while we are on this earth we will have done so. Being Saved does not mean we have been made perfect in the flesh that is in our bodies and everyday life, but it does mean that we have been made to have become perfect in the Spirit as we now have Christ's blood shed upon us and that is what the Father sees when He looks at us, is the payment made by the Son for our soul. Simply put, if Christ could not save us eternally and something we did brought us back unto eternal condemnation then Satan would be stronger than the two, however, Christ being dominant in victory maintains our salvation forever now we have become truly free. This then is what we call Grace, Christ doing for us what we could never do for ourself. Unmerited favor is the term used for the action of Grace-we cannot perform merits enough to secure our own salvation. First the LAW states that we are guilty of sin and the demand for the guilt is death, Second, Grace frees us from the penality of the LAW which was made for our death, the LAW demands our physical death, the Grace demands our justification from death spiritually from the LAW. Our part, if you will, When Christ states will you accept me, as one that is knocking at the door awaiting your reply of "Welcome, come in" such a small thing to say yes but such a hard thing for most who feel they must give up the world to accept Christ.
Science: There is no creator there is only is, the definition that all inquired of in America some 10+ years ago asked by a President under fire, "It depends on what your definition of is,is." was the quote and although at the time seemed a childish question in science it is reborn. "It" happened, and it became the theory called the Big Bang, the beginning of evolution - the evloving of the human - animal - fish - amobea theory. By the way, if you have "latched" on to this theory better hold quick as Scientist are now disproving this theory, Oh, they are not accepting Christianity but they are embracing a type of Christ, only not the same Jesus Christ we know and why would they after 70-80 years abandon such a great plan. It had no legs or foundation.
First it presupposes that there was a thing called space in which "nothing" is or was, a vast nothing. Now there is a law that if you have nothing it must remain such or you must redefine what the nothing was or give it another title and in science you would have to say that there never was a nothing but a something which produced something (oops, borders Creation). It seems in the big bang that there was a void, a nothing and all of a sudden there were two atoms that collided into each other and created a big bang, the next question is where did the two atoms come from and what were their elements comprised of? were they Hellium, Copper, Water, Oxygen etc..., atoms contain property elements-everything around you is made of atoms and they are all bumping into each other. You had this great big space called nothing (where did nothing come from-watch out for the black holes?) how did nothing get there? Let's suppose you have these, when the amobea came to be a fish and the fish walked upon the dry land and become monkey and the monkey reached up to grab a banana (oops who planted the seed that became the vine that became a plant that made a tree) where did the banana come from and how did it just happen to be at the same place at the same time that the monkfish reached up to get nourishment? I don't think we would be evolving to a higher form of species as we have to have food and we can't wait until the seed grows up into a banana like the monkey did, again it's the old adage, "Which came first the chicken or the egg? Science does not know and by the way what causes cancer-steak,peanut butter,asbestos,cigarettes,secondhand smoke,ozone,machinary etc....,how many times has science made predictions to fail? Is food safe now that science has worked to make it so? how about dog food is it safe,bridges,planes,trains,automobiles you can trust science right? Want to hear something strange? Christians have been saying for 2000 years that when the person called the Anti-Christ comes he will place a mark in the hand or the forehead of the people-well lets just make sure we get this quote straight:
REVELATION 13:11-18 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Isn't it amazing that what the Christian has been proclaiming for 2000 years is now not only being used but accepted by most peoples on the earth as not a bad thing, it is even thought of now as being beneficial, odd? No, just predicted. But as the Christian proclaimed that they also have stated this to be true and it is:
REVELATION 14:9-11 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Scare tatics? No, it is just that we are so close that their is no way to sugar coat the truth any more, there is a thing called the Rapture of the Church which means essentially that Christ is to return for His church and remove it so that the Anti-christ may come and make people on the earth to make up their mind as they are content in things and money and have no need of God.
- TIME -
The essential element -time- was not made for God but God made time for mankind, where God is there is no time much like the law was not made for God but God made the law for man. Here is the answer which you were going to ask - the question I won't give.
