Creationism

The origin of the earth has always been a mystery to scientists. They say Creationism is improbable, but seem willing to accept evolution or almost any other alternative as fact, with no tangible proof to back it up.
Many people feel uncomfortable with the thought of a Creator, somewhere out in the heavens, judging them and holding them to His standards. Our rebellious human nature feels more at ease with the belief that humans as no different than animals or bacteria. And that are here by accident, live as we please, die and return to nothing. They believe we will one day solve that ‘death’ thing, also
Evolution is taught as fact, even though it fails on so many fronts. Still, science continues to research other possible answers to our origin. The scientific community will glom on to almost any theory rather than accept the presence of an all-knowing Creator.
Polls show that a majority (although a shrinking majority) of us still believe in divine creation. 58% of the respondents to a recent web poll believe that some unnamed ‘intelligent entity’ created us. 17% of those polled believed the earth was created when a comet (s) struck the earth; 15% believe life crawled out of an ancient lake, and the remaining 10% believe aliens from outer space brought life to earth.
The “Big Bang” theory, which has been widely held b many scientists, was not mentioned in the poll. One Christian writer once wrote that this may be the closest theory to reality, opining that, “God spoke, and ‘Bang!’, all creation came into existence.
The obvious, almost elementary response to anti-Creation theories is, “Who created the ‘ancient’ lake, or the aliens, and who set the comet into motion? Each theory raises more questions than answers as to who designed the whole process. Science can explain things like the changing of the seasons; the earth, moon and sun and their paths; how birds know to migrate, etc. If all these things were the result of a ‘mistake’, then why doesn’t the sun rise from a different direction each morning, and why do the seasons rotate in order, and why does the moon go through the same phases each time; why not eight phases one month, then 12 phases, etc?
And why does only mankind have the ability to reason, to solve problems and to build relationships and communicate verbally? Animals operate from instinct, which is a code placed in their genetics. Every member of one kind of animal family will operate exactly the same as another. They cannot use reason to operate outside of their genetic limits. Although they can be taught tricks, and the semblance of mathematical reasoning, it is only possible through repetition and a simple ‘carrot/stick’ reward/punishment process.
It seems that God, in creating the Universe, deliberately left many questions unanswered. Perhaps he knew that he had endowed us with inquisitive minds, and therefore left many questions for us to discern. For centuries, many people worshipped the moon, believing that ‘the man in the moon’ watched over us. Over the years, mankind figured out that the moon had a distinct effect upon ocean tides and other atmospheric conditions.
People believed that the moon was made of green cheese. When we landed on the moon, we found absolutely nothing to explain the moon’s effect on the earth. Perhaps the most explanation for the moon, the stars, the sun, and the whole universe including life on earth can only be realized through faith.
I would rather depend upon fact than theory. Our origin is clearly stated in the Bible, “In the Beginning, God created the heavens and the earth…”
