Over the last couple of centuries, Evolution had been taught as the basis on how mankind had become the dominate species on the earth. It had been stated in numerous book that “evolutionary change takes place over the course of many generation, and individual organisms cannot evolve in a single life time.” In some documentaries and movies, evolutionists claim that mankind evolved through the cave men. And even further back from one cell amoebas. Over millions of year’s mankind evolved to a point where they worship God. In an article “Genetic Basis of Evolution” the subheading ‘Mutation’ states “Genes themselves are continually being modified through a process called mutation . . . for evolution to occur, the forces of natural selection must distribute that trait to other members of a population.” (Microsoft Encarta 2000) According to Darling Kindersley, the human skull changed dramatically during the past 3 million years. As the skull evolved from Australopithecus to Homo sapiens, the capacity of the cranium increased to accommodate the growth of the brain, the face flattened, the chin recessed, and the size of the teeth decreased. The scientists believe that the incredible growths in the size of the brain may be related to the increasing sophistication of hominine behavior.

Given that little information, one would wonder, ‘If that is the case, why don’t we see any of the lower animals evolving? Or, where are those animals that have evolved to a point to just below mankind?’ One would wonder. An American geneticist and zoologist named Theodosius Dobzhansky who made contributions to the field of genetics. His studies in population genetics, performed mainly with the fruit fly, served as a basis for his explanation of how the evolution of races and species may have come through adaptation. Adaptation word used by biologists in two different senses, both of which imply the accommodation of a living organism to its environment. One form of adaptation, called physiological adaptation, involves the acclimatization of an individual organism to a sudden change in environment.

It is believed that humans evolved from ape ancestors between 5 million and 8 million years ago. Many species of humans followed, but only some descendants on the branch leading to homo sapiens. It was Charles Darwin who had laid the foundation of modern evolutionary theory with his concept of the development of all forms of life through the slow-working process of natural selection. During his time on the Beagle, he realized that some of his observations of fossils and living plants and animals cast doubt on the view that species were specially created. He noted observed that certain fossils that was supposed to be extinct closely resembled living species in the same area.

In the view of many who accept the theory of evolution. Life will always be made up of intense competition, strife, hatred, wars and death. Some even feel that man may destroy himself in the near future. A Prominent scientist stated: “We may have only another few decades until Doomsday . . . .the development of nuclear weapons and their delivery systems will, sooner or later, lead to global disaster.” Even if this did not happen soon, many believe that when a person’s life span runs out in death he is them nonexistent forever. Others feel that, in the future, all life will end. They theorize that the sun will expand into a red giant star, and if it does, “the oceans will boil, the atmosphere will evaporate away to space and a catastrophe of the most immense proportions imaginable will overtake or planet.

Those who support the theory of evolution feel that it is now established face. They believe that evolution is an “actual occurrence,” a “reality,” a “truth,” as one dictionary defines the word “fact” Would an investigation of the evidence for evolution leave one on the same solid ground? Interestingly, ever since Charles Darwin’s book “The Origin of Species” was published in 1859, various aspects of the theory have been a matter of considerable disagreement even among the evolutionary scientists. Today, that dispute is more intense than ever. And it is enlightening to consider what advocates of evolution themselves are saying about the matter,

Summarizing some of the unsolved problems confronting evolution, Francis Hitching observed: “In three crucial areas where the modern evolution theories can be tested, it has failed: The fossil record reveals a pattern evolutionary leaps rather than a gradual change. Genes are a powerful stabilizing mechanism whose main function is to prevent new forms evolving. Random step-by-step mutations at the molecular level cannot explain the organized and growing complexity of life.”

In examining the Genesis account, it’s important to keep in mind that it approaches matters from the standpoint of people on earth. It describes events as if they were present at the time. It can be noted from its treatment of events on the fourth Genesis “day”. The sun and moon are describes as great luminaries in comparison to the stars. Yet many stars are far more greater than our sun, and the moon is insignificant in comparison to them. But not to an earthly observer. So, as seen from the earth, the sun appears to be a ‘greater light that rules the day’ and the moon a ‘lesser light that dominates the night.” Genesis 1:14-18. In the Biblical account where God is described as questioning Job about his knowledge of the earth, a variety of developments concerning earth’s history are described: its measurements, its cloud masses, its seas and how their waves were limited by dry land – many things in general about the creation, spanning long periods of time. Among these things, comparing earth to a building, the Bible says that God asked Job: “Into what have its socket pedestals been sank down, or who laid its cornerstone?” Job 38:6

As for the plants and vegetation, the Bible account adds: “Let the earth cause the grass to shoot forth, vegetation bearing seed, fruit trees yielding fruit according to their kinds, the seed of which is in it, upon the earth. And it came to be so.” Genesis 1:11. So a period of time passed after the sun, the moon and stars were created. The land was formed and the vegetation was created. Since the vegetation needed the light for photosynthesis and carbon dioxide to grow. God was getting the earth ready for mankind and the animals. before God created man, the plants need to make oxygen for them to breath. On the first “day” diffused light evidently penetrated the swaddling bands, but the sources of that light could not bee seen by an earthly observer because of the cloud layers still enveloping the earth. Now, on this fourth “day,” things apparently changed. So up to this point when God created the heavens and the earth along with the plants, along with the day, night along with the season it took about 4 days, Peter wrote: “one day is with Jehovah a thousand years and a thousand years as one day (2 Peter 3:8) It took Jehovah four thousand of our years to create the heavens and the earth.

Now, had there been an earthly observer, he would be able to discern the sun, moon and stars, which would “serve as signs and for seasons and for days and years.” (Genesis 1:14) The moon would indicate the passing of lunar months and the sun the passing of solar years. The season that now “come to be” on the fourth “day” would no doubt have been much milder than they became later on. Now on the fifth creative day, God created the great sea monsters and every living soul that moves about according to their kind and flying winged creature according to its kind (Genesis 1:20, 21) Note of interest that the nonhumans creatures with which the waters were to swarm are called “living souls.” This term would also apply to the Flying creatures that fly over the earth upon the vace of the expanse.” And it would also embrace the forms of sea and air life, such as the sea monsters, whose fossils remains scientists have found in recent times.

On the sixth creative “day” God created living souls according to their kinds, both domestic and wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, Genesis 1:24. However, the sixth “day” was not quite over. Genesis 1:26, 27 reads: “And God went on to say, ‘Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every moving animal that is moving animal that is moving upon the earth.’ And God created the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them. So, apparently, it took god about 6,000 years to make the heavens and the earth. And if that being the case. the question remains: “Did man get here by evolution or creation?”
