Presenting ideas in a different manner can sometimes result in understanding the importance of something for the first time. Think of God's attributes as God's credentials. God placed his credential of creator in the first place in his word. This was no accident. He wanted us to understand that idea of him as creator to act as a foundation for what was to follow. He could have started with "are you saved" or "I am the Lord" or any other of thousands of ideas, but he knew we needed a foundation of his primary credential as the first cause of all things. He was establishing the Alpha. He goes on to tell us he did it in six mornings and evenings. He goes on to tell us he made the first man Adam out of the dust of the ground on day six. He goes on to tell us there were just so many generations of men from Adam to Abraham and just so many generations from Abraham to Christ. In other words the beginning was not millions of years ago.

Satan's religion of evolution says the beginning was billions of years ago and that death was present in the world for millions of years before man evolved from animals. This alone destroys the gospel. Darwin confused the church in 1859. The clergy with little knowledge of science believed evolution was science and fact. Instead of defending the Bible the clergy tried to compromise the Bible with theories to put millions of years into the scripture. The Holy Spirit cannot be pleased that we are silent and will not defend the scripture as it is written. We Christians seem to study and talk about anything and everything except the defense of the Bible as it is written.

I am unable to help myself on feeling this issue is of tremendous importance to the Christian church. I am a scientist and I know the scientific method requires observation, experimentation, measurement, collecting of data and repeated repetition of this scientific process. Science cannot give truth but only high probability. These high probability conclusions are known as scientific laws and are usually found to be valid.

Evolution is only an idea that cannot be observed or demonstrated by experiment. It is religion not science.
