Why Don’t They Just Say Created? 

The beginning of life and matter is an incomprehensible topic for our minds.  Yet it is a subject of great worth because, after all, we are here.    
Did we make ourselves?  No, of course not because we see the beginning of life and matter as incomprehensible.  It wouldn’t be incomprehensible if we made ourselves.  
Did we just “come into being?”  Did we just “evolve over a couple billion years from nothing to something?”  Does zero plus zero equal one?  
           The other day I was thinking about the words “created” and “made.”  I was thinking about how these words are used throughout the Bible.  Genesis 1:1 says, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”  And Genesis 1:31 says, “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.  And there was evening, and there was morning-the sixth day.  
Reading about the words “created” and “made” got me thinking even more.  Evolution theorists say that we came into being by the natural process of evolution.  They say we came into being through the evolution process of “chance.”   So, what evolutionists are saying is that natural processes or chance brought us into being.  Now created and made are two words that could easily and efficiently replace the phrase “came into being.”  So why don’t evolutionists say that natural process or chance created or made us?  Because these two simple words reveal the fact that evolutionism is a religious belief.  
Contrary to popular belief, evolutionism has NOT been proven by science (visit www.drdino.com for more information).  Oh yes, many parts of science point to evolution as being how we came to life but even more parts of science point to our being created by God.  No matter what words these theorists use, be it “come into being” or “evolve,” we were created by something because, in fact, we are here.  So did natural process, chance, or God create you?  Well lets play the eligible creator game.

  Eligible Creator #1:  Like you I don’t know exactly where I came from or why I’m here.  I’m told that a bunch of particles that had just been floating in the universe forever came together and exploded creating me.  Then I’m told that I evolved you from a rock over billions of years for no apparent reason.  I don’t know why in the world I would do that but.  Anyway, My name is Mother Nature, short for Automatic Natural Process, and some of you tell me that I am your Creator.
  
  Eligible Creator #2:  I’m told that somehow I pulled a bunch of particles together in a random order.  All these particles accidentally exploded creating huge masses of rock floating in an endless open area, called outer space, that was just there forever.  I’m told that I started combining different substances in weird different ways for no reason and the end result after billions of years of random chaos was you, I guess.  My name is Chance, short for Random Natural Process, and I am told by some of you that I accidentally created you. Whoops!!!  

  Eligible Creator #3:  I’ve told you in My Word that I created the heavens and the earth.  I created everything within them, including the first people, in six days.  I created everything for My praise and glory.  I gave the first people a choice to follow Me or to follow themselves in Sin.  They chose sin and therefore each of you is born guilty of sin.  Many of you have lost knowledge of Me completely.  I even sent My Son Jesus down to save you from your sin.  I performed miracles through him and even raised him from the dead.  And yet some of you don’t believe in Me because you want to do whatever you want.  This is fine if you want to go to hell.  All you have to do is repent from your sins and believe in my Son and you will be saved from eternal pain and suffering.  In return you will receive eternal life in heaven with Me.  My name is God and I am the everlasting, all knowing creator, maker, and sustainer of your life.  Period!!!
Oh yes and those boundaries of DNA, space, and time that your minds just can’t get past.  I created those boundaries for you.  I’m not held to them.  

Wow!  Look again at the Eligible Creator choices.  Automatic Natural or Random Natural Processes don’t seem like very Eligible choices do they!  
Which do you think takes more faith to believe?  That particles of dust and gas are everlasting (meaning they have been around and will be around forever) and are capable of creating complex amazing things such as the universe and everything in it.  Or that there is an all powerful, all knowing, everlasting God who knows and created everything in the universe as well as the universe itself.  God is my Eligible Creator!
