DESIGN OR ACCIDENT?

. . .by Kathy A. Smith

 A re you here by design? Is there a plan and purpose for your life? Or are you here by accident and your life is without a cause?

CREATION - THE GOOD NEWS!
Creation teaches that you are here by design and were formed in your mother's womb by an almighty God who truly loves you and wants to have a personal relationship with you. God gave everyone on the face of this earth a purpose. We were created for God to love us and us in return to love, serve, and worship Him. He also created us to take care of His beautiful creation. There is nothing God created that is without a cause.

EVOLUTION - THE LIE!
Evolution is a theory that has absolutely no proof or any hope whatsoever. It is a deceptive theory invented by Satan, the "father of lies". Evolution teaches that mankind is no different and nothing other than a piece of dirt or rust, a slug, or a spider. It is a theory that has become a religion that has denied the truth of God. It has falsely taught that there is no God that the human race has to be accountable before. It teaches you to live for yourself because there is no judgment.

Let's take a look at what God's word says about creation:
1). God is eternal. "Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding" (Isaiah 40:28). Also Genesis 21:33; Exodus 3:14; Deuteronomy 33:27; Isaiah 9:6; Micah 5:2; Romans 16:26

2). Everything that exists God created: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" (Genesis 1:1). Also Psalms 95:3-6; 102:25, 147:4, Proverbs 30:4, Isaiah 40:28; 42:5; 45:12,18; Jeremiah 27:5; 32:17; John 1:1-5, Acts 14:15; Colossians 1:17-18, Hebrews 1:3,10-12.

3). God called all things into existence. He created all things out of nothing. "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear" (Hebrews 11:3).

4). God created all things good, until sin entered His creation. Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden and allowed sin to pollute God's originally good universe. This has brought a curse of death and destruction. "And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good" (Genesis 1:31).

5). God preserves, cares for, and is present with His creation: "Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD " (Jeremiah 23:23-24). Also Nehemiah 9:6; Psalms 104:14; 135:6-7; Matthew 26:28; 10:29-31; Colossians 1:16-17; Acts 14:17

6). How did God chose to guide His creation? He gave humankind His word. The Bible has every answer we need and is the perfect guide for every aspect of life. "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee" (Psalm 119:11). Also 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21

7). There is a reason and a purpose for all of God's creation: "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created"(Revelation 4:11). Also Psalm 19:1-3

8). God created everything that is valuable. Since all creation is important everything should be treated with respect. The way God would treat it. "Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?" (Matthew 6:26)

9). God is worthy to be praised. "Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD" (Psalm 150:6 ). Also Daniel 4:34; Matthew 21:15-16

10). God's awesome plan of redemption for His human race: "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord"(Romans 6:23). Also John 3:16-18; John 6:35; 8:12; 10:9; 11:25-26; 14:6; Romans 10:9-10,13, Colossians 1:14.

11). The Lord is the judge of the earth: "Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth" (Psalm 96:13 ). Also Psalm 97:2-3; 1 Corinthians 4:5)

12). God will create a new heavens and a new earth in the future: "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea" (Revelation 21:1). Also Isaiah 65:17; 2 Peter 3:13
