When one begins to study all created things, an overwhelming truth becomes evident – life is quite diverse and intricately designed. In the evolutionary worldview, all life has evolved from common ancestry. We are told by this evolutionary so-called “science” that from the first organic molecules through multiple transitional forms the vast diversity of life evolved to present systems. The proponents of this worldview tout “overwhelming evidence” pointing to common ancestry from observing differences within speciation. As just one example, the similarities and differences between chimps, gorillas, and orangutans “prove” the whole of evolution; the entire process of going from worms to eagles and so forth is often balanced precariously on just the observed similarities within species. There are many problems with this worldview. This first and most important problems that it is not what the Lord Jesus Christ told us He did during the creation process of Genesis 1.

The Lord gave us a record in Genesis 1 of how He made all living systems. On day 3 He   made all systems of botany, forming all plant life by their kinds, complete and fully mature. “Kinds” is a biological and genetic statement that is fully observable today. This term is not only applied on day 3, but also to day 5 and 6 life. The detail in scripture stating that trees had fruit with seed in it immediately destroys a possibility for that plant to evolve into another kind of plant outside of their created kind. If you plant an apple seed, you will get an apple tree with no possibility of cherries or oranges or any other kind of plant life from it. Now there is diversity within a created kind, as seen in the example of apples. There is a vast array of apples around the world, yet they are a single created reproducible kind – apples.

On day 5 the Lord begins creating the animal kingdom. He starts with all living creatures that live in the water and all winged fowl. These creatures are each created by their kind and ready to do what each of them were designed to do. On the next day, six, He creates those living creatures that dwell on the land, also by their kinds. These animals range from mammals to dinosaurs, all of them reproducing after their kinds, again with varieties within those kinds controlled by designed genetics.

Following those of the animal kingdom on day 6, the Lord then created man, a male and female, in His image. Humans were created with similar characteristics as some in the animal kingdom, but I would argue this seems to show a common Designer rather than common ancestry. Since we and the animal kingdom were designed to live within the environment of the Earth, we should expect similarities that equip us for that. An evolutionary worldview would argue these similarities are evidence of common ancestry, yet we have never observed any “kind” of creature reproduce anything other than their kind. This reinforces the Biblical worldview founded in Genesis and frames all observed scientific evidence.

Blessings to you and your family for the continued support of this ministry as we preach and teach these truths in the face of an evolutionary tide. This tide is attacking our families and churches to give into materialism and, ultimately, atheistic worldviews. We will not give in or up on the call of the Lord to the Truth that is absolute and unchanging.
