Before you answer the question in the title, you should read these verses in Colossians 1:16-17:

16 For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him:  17 And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.

This passage concerns the creation of the universe.  It deals with such questions as:

• What is the true origin of the universe?
  
• How did the world come into existence? 
  
• What is the purpose or end of all things or of creation? 
  
• What holds  things together?
  
• What is behind the laws of nature such as gravity? 

This is Quite an encompassing group of thoughts all from just two verses!

Based on my studies, there are basically three views of creation:

• First, there is the secularist or human view:  That means that this world just happened by chance. No force or power created the world.  No power tends behind the world.  There was nothing, and then by some means and in some way some gas or some element of some sort just appeared out of nothing, out of nowhere.
  
• Secondly, there is the view that some "god" did create the world, but he is far off and removed from the world
  
• Third is the true Christian view, the truth that God Himself, the Sovereign Master of the universe, created the world with Jesus and the Holy Spirit.  The word that is used for God in Genesis is plural- so that tells me that it is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit all working together.  As Christians, our desire should be to live through Jesus.

Scientists today still don't know how the atom holds itself together. According to what we understand from the science of physics, the basic structure of an atom should cause it to repel or explode. The most basic element in the universe cannot be explained (science attempts to explain this by referring to it as "cosmic glue"). But there is a simple answer: Jesus holds the whole universe together, a fact which is confirmed in the verse we started with.   Look again at Colossians 1:17 which says, ". . . in Him all things hold together."

Today we are reminded that GOD created everything and even thousands of years later, we literally  exist through Him.  HE is not only our Creator, but also our Sustainer. HE is the God of the universe, living in us today.   What a privilege to be a Christian in the Church Age!

Not too long ago I read an article saying that the theory of evolution had been disproven. As a Pastor, I am a firm believer in Creationism, but I have come in contact with a lot of people who believe in evolution (mostly non-Christians and also some supposedly Christians).  We need to have answers to their questions. 

So, what are some questions and recent scientific discoveries and facts I can state to disprove these beliefs? Other than quotes from the Bible, which they refuse to listen to, there are many, many scientific facts that disprove the theory of evolution.

One of the areas that we should really study is The Age of the Earth.   You see real scientists  know for a fact that the earth is slowing down. Its rate of decrease in speed (caused by mountain friction to the atmosphere, etc.) is measurable. However, it's not slowing down enough to matter if the earth is around 6,000 years old, as the Bible contends. But if the earth is millions of years old, as stated by evolutionists, then the earth would have had to be spinning so fast (to not have stopped by now) that everything, including humans, would have spun off into space!

What about DNA that shows it's an extremely intricate self-correcting design? If you have a "design," then you must have a "designer!" Oh then there is a designer…. but evolutionists don’t want to hear that.  Because God is the Designer, the Creator, yes the One that they mock an ridicule.

It is important to be ready to give an answer to what you believe (1 Peter 3:15), but always keep in mind that the root problem with your evolutionist friends is not solved by finding scientific evidence outside of Biblical references. Their real problem is spiritual. Until they trust Jesus as their Lord and Savior, it won't matter what they believe and they can't understand spiritual truths until they are revealed to them by the Holy Spirit.
For to us who are Christians the Bible tells us,  “But God has revealed to us through the Holy Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God” —1 Corinthians 2:10-12.

Why is evolution taught in schools when it has not been proven to be 100% true?
 
This question reminds me of a chemistry teacher I had in high school. Before performing an experiment in front of the class, he would have the students vote on the outcome. When the experiment didn't go the way most students expected, he would remind us that science wasn't based on opinion. Our opinions didn't matter at all.
 
Did You Know that Evolution Is A Religion -- Not A Science?                   
In no way does the idea of evolution meet the long-accepted definition of a scientific theory. There are no such evolutionary transitions that have ever been observed in the fossil record of the past; and the universal law of scientific order seems to make it impossible on any significant scale.

Did you know that Evolutionists claim that evolution is a scientific fact, but they almost always loose scientific debates with creationist scientists. Accordingly, most evolutionists now decline opportunities for scientific debates, preferring instead to make unilateral attacks on creationists.  If I come up with fancy names or scream at you I should be able to convince you. 

I guess scientists should refuse formal debates because they do more harm than good, but scientists still need to counter the creationist message.  The question is, just why do evolutionists need to counter the creationist message? Why are they so committed to anti-creationism?  The fact is that evolutionists believe in evolution because they want to. It is their desire at all costs to explain the origin of everything without a Creator.  Evolutionism is thus basically an atheistic religion. Some may prefer to call it humanism, and "new age" evolutionists place it in the context of some form of pantheism, but they all amount to the same thing. Whether atheism or humanism (or even pantheism), the purpose is to eliminate a personal God from any active role in the origin of the universe and all its components, including man.
 
The basis of the humanistic philosophy is naturalism -- the proposition that the natural world proceeds according to its own internal dynamics, its own order , without divine or supernatural control or guidance, and that we human beings are creations of that process. If you have ever read about the philosophers who put together this humanistic movement they debated as to which term more adequately described their position: humanism or naturalism. You will find that the two ideas are complementary and inseparable.
 
Since both naturalism and humanism exclude God from science or any other active function in the creation or maintenance of life and the universe in general, it is very obvious that their position is nothing but atheism. And atheism, no less than theism, which is a religion! Even-atheistic evolutionist Richard Dawkins admits that atheism cannot be proved to be true. He said: “Of course we can't prove that there isn't a God.”  Therefore, they must believe it, and that makes it a religion.  All religion is your belief system.  The evolutionists themselves, to all intents and purposes, have shown that evolutionism is not science, but a religious faith in atheism.
 
Do you know what the Bible declares in Romans 1:25 that: “They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.”
 
A very important  factor in the creation vs. evolution debate is that the majority of scientists who believe in evolution are also atheists or agnostics. There are some who hold a form of “theistic evolution”. Others take a deistic view of God, believing He exists but is not involved in the world, and everything proceeds along an uninterrupted, natural course. Many genuinely and honestly look at the data and arrive at the conclusion that evolution better fits the data. However, the dominant narrative in this discussion is that evolution is, somehow, incompatible with both the Bible and faith in God.
 
So the evolutionist believes that life evolved entirely without any intervention of a higher being.   For atheism to be true, there has to be an alternate explanation—other than a Creator—for how the universe and life came into existence. Although belief in some form of evolution predates Charles Darwin, he was the first to develop a reasonable, natural source for the process of evolution: natural selection. Darwin once identified himself as a Christian, but, as a result of some tragedies that took place in his life, he later renounced the Christian faith and the existence of God.
 
The Bible tells us, “The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God’” (Psalm 14:1; 53:1). The Bible also proclaims that people are without excuse for not believing in a Creator God. “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—His eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse” (Romans 1:20). According to the Bible, anyone who denies the existence of God is a fool.

Foolishness does not imply a lack of intelligence.  In fact many evolutionary scientists are brilliant intellectually. However, scripture teaches that foolishness indicates an inability to properly apply knowledge. Proverbs 1:7 tells us, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.”
 
Atheists who support evolution frequently mock creation and/or intelligent design as unscientific and not worthy of scientific examination. In order for something to be considered a “science,” they argue, it must be “naturalistic.” Creation, by definition, is beyond the rules of the natural world. Since God cannot be tested, as the argument goes, creation and/or intelligent design cannot be considered science.
 
Strictly speaking, evolution cannot be observed or tested any more or less than intelligent design, but that does not seem to be an issue with non-believing evolutionists. As a result, all data is filtered through their pre-conceived, pre-supposed, and pre-accepted worldview of naturalism, without alternate explanations being considered.
 
IF creation is true, then there is a Creator to whom we are to be accountable. BUT evolution, as often presented today, is an enabler for atheism. Evolution gives atheists a basis for explaining how life developed apart from a Creator God. As such, modern theories of evolution serve as a substitute “creation story” for the religion of atheism.
 
The Bible is clear: God is the Creator.  Any interpretation of science that attempts to remove God from involvement with origins is incompatible with Scripture and should be considered to be false. 

As you can see, we are living in an era of "intellectual rot."   Be sure to know what you believe and always check your MAIN SOURCE - GOD'S HOLY WORD - The Bible!

Psalm 139:13-14 NKJV
    For You formed my inward parts;  You [a]covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I        am fearfully and wonderfully made;  Marvelous are Your works,  And that my soul knows very well.
 
The Bible tells us that we are made by God!   Yes, you are made by God! There are no accidents.  Some are tall.  Some are short.  Some are thin and others are "less thin".  Some have light skin and others have dark skin.  Like snowflakes and like our fingerprints, each of us is unique and has been fearfully and wonderfully made by the one true God!  God is the Creator.  He exists. He is not a product of man’s imagination.  He is real and He is the One who gives us our Hope.
 
In these verses from Psalm 139:13-14, King David was a unique man just as we are and he reminds us that
we are all unique.  God crafted you and there is no one else like you.  Another version of or translation of Psalm 139 says that God knitted you together.  Consider the implications of that image. Knitting is a careful, step- by- step method of creating something out of nothing.  This means that you are not just another mass-produced clone, rolling off the assembly line.  You are carefully planned, meticulously created and individually placed with love on this planet by the Master Artist, the Master Creator and Designer.  And the good news does not stop there!
 
Of all the created order only man is said to have been created in God’s image.  That means that we humans
are to be the “crown of creation".  Yes, that is what God had wanted before the Fall of Man in Genesis 3, when sin entered through the sin of Adam and Eve.  So thanks to them we now all have a sinful DNA.  We now have a broken image and that is what is referred to as the Fall of Man; that we have been separated from God.   Romans 3:23 tells us that “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”  You see when Adam and Eve sinned and rebelled against God and did not listen to what He said, the image of God was marred, broken and cracked. 

Man was no longer what God intended him to be.  The consequences of sin was far more than the loss of being evicted from the Garden of Eden; it was the loss of the Image.  Because the image is broken man cannot fulfill God’s plan and purpose for him.  The image needed to be restored.  That is why we need to be born-again.  The image can be restored ONLY through Jesus Christ. (You can find this in Romans 8:29, 2 Corinthians 3:18, 2 Corinthians 4:3-4,Colossians 1:12-15, Colossians 3:9-10).  The Good News is that the image is renewed as we give ourselves to Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit shapes us gradually into the image that we were supposed to be.   This is not a graven image.  We are NOT little gods, we were created to be like Jesus.  Our lives are to show others that we serve and love Jesus, the One who gave Himself for our sins.
 
We get so wrapped up in our culture and the way we think and we forget it is not about us and who we are and how great we are or who our parents were and it is not about how much money we have, etc. NO!  We are not the kind of work that just hangs in a gallery waiting to be admired.  The Bible tells us that we were created to do “good works”, that God has prepared for us to do.  So, we don’t have just artistic merit but we ALL have a purpose.  Remember that when you think you aren’t attractive enough, intelligent enough or physically gifted enough, remember who made you.  God made you carefully.  He made you lovingly.  He made you for a purpose.  You are attractive enough, smart enough and everything else enough to accomplish all that your Heavenly Father has planned for you in this life.  Now stop listening to all the naysayers and go and do what Our Lord has put in your heart to do for His Kingdom. 
 
King David willingly surrendered control of his life to God.  Yes, David submitted himself to God’s will and plans for his life.  BUT David was not perfect there were times that he stumbled, times when he sinned, times when he chose his own desires and wants.  Yet David repented at those times and returned back to the God he loved and served.  David was obedient and the Bible calls him “a man after God’s own heart“.
 
You may be reading this article and you have accepted Jesus as your Savior, but remember if we truly want to be a disciple of Christ, then we must choose to follow Him as Lord.  We must truly follow Him as our Master.  Remember all God had to say was “Let there be….” and there it was!
