100 Tough Questions-c
11. Does God Exist?
Yes. The Bible tells us that God has placed a desirew to know Him in our hearts which explains why man has this longing to find a supreme being. If volution were true we would not have this desire nor would we have even the concept of what a god or God would be. Evolution is totally void of any idea of the spiritual realm and does not contain in its framework, any mention or evidence for a spiritualworld. In fact the process itself is described as a non-thinking, non-comprehending, non-emotional, non-possessing process which is robotic in function and nature.
With this 'father' of all that exists there is no room for this desire to know God and it cannot explain why this desire exists. There is the excuse that man wants more than what he sees in this world and they want some sort of hope. Yet if evolution is absent of and has no concept of hope,how could it instill such feelings into what it evolves? It can't. There is no possible way that evolution could impart to its 'offspring' what it itself does not possess nor can conceive.
An example, man has always wanted to fly like the birds and history plus mythology ar filled with tales of each attempt to master the art of flying, more without success than otherwise. in the last century man was finally able to invent and construct airplanes yet if there had been no birds to give man the concept of flying, then there would be no planes or helicopters today.
Since evolution is described as a non-thinking, non-feeling, non-comprehending process it is impossible for it to for it to 'create' anything we see today or even know which abilities or characteristics would be needed for each individual animal. How would it know to evolve the camel to survive in the desert? It couldn't, for it wouldn't even know that deserts existed or would exist. How would it know what changes to make and be able to make those changes in time before the species became extinct? It couldn't without foresight, planning, comprehension, understanding of how things work it is i possible for evolution to do anything it is credited with doing.
How do we know God exists? By the very fact of creation and the impossibility of alternatives.
12. Is Evolution True?
No. One of the fatal flaws that evolutionists face is that everything they say evolution did is only attributed to it, scientists have no evidence nor proof that: 1. evolution is responsible, or 2. that that the process actually exists. The whole theory has come from the fertile imagination of a man who is a self-confessed non-believer and who felt his original belief in God never took. Thus it is safe to say that this theory is a product of a deceived man who could not provide any proof other than theory or conjecture.
Even the advocates of this theory who accept Darwin's premise can do no better. At best they can only do what they criticise Christians of doing and that is trying ot prove a pre-conceived idea. In a lecture given by an evolutionary scientist (details have been forgotten) it was stated by the lecturer that in one experiment, 'if evolution were true, such and such would take place. It did and evolution must be true..." The problem with this statement is that it is very mis-leading for the scientist ignored the fact that he was trying to prove a pre-conceived idea and that he did not include the fact that alternatives to evolution could produce the same result.
Such ideas are conveniently omitted and the manipulation of the facts produce a false conclusion and show that objectivity is not in the evolutionary laboratory. This kind of trickery is what confuses the unaware believer. The evolutionist uses his credentials as a scientist to create a sense of authority to justify his/her experiments and to convince legal pundits to their validity while laying false charges against the christian scientist and his/her work.
Another fatla flaw in the evolutionary mindset, is Genesis 2:1 which states: "1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array." There is no ongoing creation at work, just like Jesus' work on the cross, when He said 'It is finished', God's work at creation was finished on the 6th day. What takes place today are the results of God's designing abilities and the result of of the fall of man when Adam sinned. There is no evolutionary process in action or at work trying to continue what God said was completed.
As stated earlier, evolution is the product of a fertile mind of a decieved man and its origination undermines any claims of its validity. There are many questions which the evolutionist nor theistic evolutionist cannot answer, such as; 'why did God wait till the 19th century to reveal the rest of the truth? or Why did God use a non-believing man to reveal more truth?, then there is, if there is no God why did this knowledge come in the 19th century and what do we do with it if there is no hope? all we have is despair.
These type of questions show why evolution is not true, the theory does not provide any answers nor any hope. Its inability to provide any proof nor credible evidence without hype, conjecture, inference and hypothesis along with an unrelaistic time frame for developement clearly demonstrates its falsehood and exposes its true purpose of trying to deceive God's creation. Be careful and do not let the secular idea that science is the final authority fool you. It isn't and it is too limited to provide people with the truth as creation is outside of its scope and boundaries. It is merely a tool and wielded wrongly, it will provide the wrong results, just like any other tool we use today.
#13. If a person is to take the Bible by faith why are Christians always trying to prove the Bible true?
Dr. Bryant Wood in a lecture on Jericho and the Bible Critics (ABR), said it best when he said: ‘We are not trying to prove the Bible true but we are trying to disprove the critics. ‘
This is very important because not all believers have the time nor the inclination to investigate and properly research into an opinion or conclusion.
It is also too easy to hear the word ‘expert’ and automatically shut ones mind off and blindly accept what the person is saying even though he or she may be presenting a theory contrary
to the teachings of the Bible.
Jesus is the Truth and believers must make sure they are getting the truth or they are in danger of being led astray and relating a lie to Him. The Bible lays out the criteria to determine who is or isn’t a false teacher and the believer needs to compare those requirements to the speaker and his or her message. This is not judging but keeping the wolves from entering into the chicken coop.
#14. Why would the Dalai Lama and other 'good' people go to hell?
Being good is not an automatic ticket to heaven, anyone can be good but it takes a strong person to turn their back on the world and its ideas, rewards and pleasures. Following Christ is not accepting the world and Him which a good person can and does do. Instead salvation depends upon a simple choice and action, accept Christ as your savior and repent from your sins.
Good people, like the Dalai Lama, do not do either. They may acknowledge Christ as historical or as a good teacher but they do not always see thatthey need to repent or that they are need of a savior. The Bible is very clear here as we look at John 3:16 which says: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only son, that WHOEVER BELIEVES in him shall have eternal life.
Thus the criteria for salvation and entrance into heaven is not being good but believing in Jesus Christ. This does not mean that after one believes they get to live life the way they want but they must start to live it as Jesus would want and that instruction is found throughout the pages of the Bible.
