People often deny the obvious and try
to come up with some other explanation
other than God as a Creator. This is what is
taking place with the theory of evolution.
It is so ridiculous that you wonder why
an intelligent person would believe such
a thing. But people want to believe in
evolution because it does away with God
and makes them like an animal—with no
accountability to a Creator.

Hebrews 11:3 - Through faith we understand

that the worlds were framed by the word of
God, so that things which are seen were not
made of things which do appear.

This verse directly explains if the earth

was formed by creation or evolution.
Faith gives us the understanding that
God created the heavens and the earth.
The heavens and the earth were not
created from nothing. They were created
from things that couldn’t be seen but did
already exist.

 Is There Evidence for Evolution?
(Taken from the Christian Philosophy book)

“Whether you look in the earth, on the

earth, or outside the earth in space, there
is plenty of evidence to show the earth
is young,” argues Dr. Grady McMurty,
MS in Evolutionary Theory from State
University of New York. “There are over
270 geochronometers, or Earth time clocks,
that demonstrate recent creation of the
universe.” Below are just a few of the strong
pieces of evidence that show the earth is
young—not millions of years old.

Continent Formation:

Evolutionists agree that the Pangaea Globe

 Figure 4
Mount St. Helens formed in 1980—
We are sure!

During the initial eruption on May 18,

twenty-five feet of ash was laid down in
one layer. The second layer is actually
comprised of several layers that formed
during a second eruption over a period of
five hours. All these layers were formed in
fewer than twenty-four hours. Also, there
were three distinct events during the time
of the eruptions from 1980 to 1982. But all
three layers—a total of seventy-five feet—
came into existence in fewer than three
days. This shows that geological features
form quite rapidly.
