In the beginning, God created the Heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:1
One of my most favourite and most memorable Christmas presents was a sled that my father built for me when I was seven or eight years old. I have always regretted that I didn’t thank him more for that sled, which gave me many wonderful years of service and pleasure. Not only was that sled a wonderful toy for coasting on the hill in the nearby pasture and on the mountain fields, but it was also a valuable implement for carrying things. That sled had a sturdy body based on heavy solid maple runners. The runners were wide enough to carry the sled through any type of snow. It could outperform any other sled on the hill. At one point, I build sideboards on it and used it to carry furnace wood out of the lowlands through deep snow. I also used it in the spring to haul sap from the maple trees beside the brook. One thing about that sled that I still find remarkable is that I have no recollection of seeing my father build it. He did his work on it while I was nowhere around, and when it appeared, it was a complete surprise. I have no idea how he went about the task of constructing it. That sled is a little like the world we live in; none of us were around when it was formed and fashioned into a dwelling place for man. Amid all the foolish speculation and evolution theorizing of the so-called worldly wise, why don’t we simply accept today’s text, and thank the Creator for His creation?
Have you ever noticed that the theory of evolution is still a theory? Did you know that a $250,000 reward for scientific proof to support evolution remains unclaimed. Evolution is nonsense because it rejects the simple and plain presentation of creation as presented in the first three chapters of Genesis. If this is so, why do we allow schools to teach evolution despite any proof that it is true? Why do we consciously and unconsciously accept statements in the news, in books, or wherever that speak as though evolution were a fact? Why do we not spend more time refuting the nonsense of evolution when we teach our children?
Do you believe the Bible? Do you reject the nonsense of evolution? Of course you do. God created the world for us to enjoy and use. So we should appreciate His work. We should thank Him. And believe Him. -Jim MacIntosh
