Below you will find sone interesting details, some you've probably heard and other stuff you won't.
Please email me if you have any questions or want to comment. nigel.wright.thelighthouse@gmail.com . Down below are some very good videos covering creation vs evolution also 180 and Audacity from Living waters dealing with abortion and homosexuality.
I have also just add Kent Hovind's 'More reasons why evolution is stupid' a must see.
We have all heard the story of the kings new invisible clothes. The king was a sucker who believed all the words of his courtiers, who told him how grand he looked. It was the little kid that told him the truth.
This is just like those who believe evolution. The evolutionist has put his invisible clothes on and walks around in them. His companions speak impressively of the wonder of evolution convincing each other how grand the theory is, that life has come from non life. Then the Bible believing Christian comes along and tells him the truth. The evolutionist should be embarrassed realizing he has been a fool denying God. But no. He would rather go on pretending and mocking those who can see right through the lie.

Peas out of the same pot.
Dawkins
His mission statement (link here for proof)
The mission of the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science is to support scientific education, critical thinking and evidence-based understanding of the natural world in the quest to overcome religious fundamentalism, superstition, intolerance and suffering.
Mr Dawkins says his "quest is to overcome religious fundamentalism"
As evolution is a religion and he is one of the most outspoken proponents on the subject. He must spend most of his time overcoming himself.
Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin's thinking and writing on the subject of evolution and natural selection caused him to reject the evidence for God in nature and ultimately to renounce the Bible, God, and the Christian faith.
- Born: 1809 / Died: 1882
- Studied medicine at Edinburgh University
- Studied theology at Christ's College, Cambridge University (1827)
- Studied geology at Cambridge University
- Naturalist on the 5 year surveying expedition of HMS Beagle (1831-1836)
- Secretary of the Geological Society (1838-41)
During his three years of theological studies at Christ's College, Cambridge, he was greatly impressed by Paley's Evidences of Christianity and his Natural Theology (which argues for the existence of God from design).
Darwin's influences
Sir Charles Lyell was a renowned geologist of the mid-nineteenth century. He was a firm believer in uniformitarianism. This philosophy claims that geological and biological "causes," or forces, have always been working in the same way and with the same intensity. Lyell's work formed the foundation of belief in a universe billions of years old. Though Lyell had trouble accepting some evolutionary theories, his work heavily influenced Charles Darwin. In fact, Darwin's concept of gradual evolution lacked an acceptable time frame until he embraced Lyell's old-earth theories.
Evolution is a religion.
Anything that involves belief by faith is a religion.
Evolutionist believe that billions of years ago, particles of matter collided causing a big bang, that through thousands of random processes, life came to exist. The same people believe therefore that life comes from non life and that through this process monkeys evolved, eventually leading to man‘s existence.
Evolution is taught in our education system, our politics, our media. It’s even taught by those who profess to be Bible believing Christians. God says He created all things by His word and He took 6 literal days to do it. Are you going to argue with God and call Him a liar and His word untrue?
Why does it matter?
Are you sure you know all the facts?
God & His Word
Why does it matter?
It matters because if man was not created by God :
● He would have no purpose for life and will only need to please himself before
he dies. Yet we see people striving to be useful and be purposeful why?
● He would not need to be loved or to love because nothing would matter.
yet we hear of acts love & see love being demonstrated around us everyday. Why?
● He would not need to be accountable to anyone either in this life or after he dies.
Yet we have criminal justice systems which includes prison sentences and in some
countries the death penalty. Why?
We also need to ask:
Why do we die?
Why do we hang onto life if it does not matter?
What happens after death.?
Made in God’s image
● God made man in His own image and even though we are in a fallen
condition because of sin, the moral things we try to do are a reflections of that image.
● Man exists for God’s will and purpose, hence man seek to have a purposeful
life and be rewarded for his achievements ?
● God is Love so mankind seek to love and to be loved? We marry and have
children out of love.
● God is Lord of all, He is the creator of all things and He is Just.
This is why we get upset at injustice and crime. We demand justice when
someone wrongs us. We want that criminal to be accountable for his crime
and so does God.
● We are made to worship and serve the God who made us all mankind are
accountable to Him
● We all die because of sin we hold onto life for 2 main reasons
1. We are selfish 2. We are afraid to die.
Are you sure you know all the facts?
Science
The word science means knowledge, when referring to matters or our existence however it's known as observational science as opposed to historical science.
So when thinking about the creation of the universe and man we must ask ourselves, were we there when the universe was created?
Science must line up with God’s word not the other way round.
Romans 1:20 says "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse."
Mr Dawkins said this. "Evolution has been observed. It's just that it hasn't been observed while it's happening." The word oxymoron comes to mind.
Evolution
Evolution is not actually a science it's a religion, as one believes it by faith. It's not a fact it's a theory and a lie. Let's be honest. If we came from a big bang where did the matter come from? Big bangs never bring about order but disorder .
So either we came from nothing or at best a rock or God created us.
Fossils
Don't fossils prove evolution must have happened ? No.
Fossils are clear evidence of a worldwide flood.
Most fossils are formed when a plant or animal is quickly and deeply buried,
out of reach of scavengers and currents, usually in mud, lime, or sand sediment
rich in cementing minerals that harden and preserve at least parts of the dead
creatures. Evolutionists and creationists agree: the ideal conditions for forming
most fossils and fossil-bearing rock layers are flood conditions.
Kinds
Reading through the creation account in scripture Gen 1,Gen 2 we read that plant and animal life whether on land or in the sea brought forth it's own kind Gen 1:11; 1:21; 1:24.
There is no scientific evidence of any kind producing another kind. No matter how much time you have i.e The Cat kind always reproduce the cat kind. Humans come from humans not monkeys.
Furthermore man was made in the image and likeness of God. God became a man, the man Jesus. He
came as a man to die for man.
Richard Dawkins was asked the question about kinds on a video, he could not answer the question. See here.
The Bible is God’s word. It contains 66 books written written by about 40
authors, in three different languages, on three different continents, over
approximately 1600 years.
In this amazing book we read about the events of creation, how the first man
Adam was made, that Adam disobeyed God which was sin. This sin would
permeate all of mankind. Complicated thou it may sound the Bible is the account
of the work of God in history bringing to fruition His prophetic declarations
Concerning Jesus. the only begotten son of God. Jesus was born of the
Virgin, died on the cross, and paid for sins, just as the Bible prophesied in
the Old Testament and fulfilled in New
God & His Word
God's word teaches that God created all things
Gen 1:1; Ps 33:6; John 1:10; Eph 3:9; Col 1:16; Rom 4:17).
And He took 6 literal days to do it. (Gen 2: 2-3 Exodus 20:8-11)
Jesus (The Word became flesh)
IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John1:1)
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. (John1:14)
God’s saving word is speaking today through the gospel. The gospel is the power of God unto salvation to all who believe. Jesus said all men must repent (Turn form sin)
and believe in Him to be saved & receive eternal life. Saved from what? The penalty for sin is death, and after death comes judgement. If you are trusting in your good works to save you from the wrath to come and from eternity in the lake of fire then I would ask you to heed the truth.
God demonstrated His love once by the giving of His only begotten son Jesus to die for our sins, whoever believes in Him and goes on believing will have eternal life
“So for loved God the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16, Rom 5:8, Romans 6:10, Heb 7:27, Heb 9:28, 1Pet 3:18)
God has provided the only through which salvation from wrath and the lake of fire is possible, His son Jesus Christ. Again, this sacrifice was made once for all sin. Heb ch 9 & 10.
As Christians we believe the bible to be the inspired word of God and is true, from the very first verse, which says, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
