The last several nights after the kids are in bed, Rob and I have been watching a series Dr. Kent Hovind, a passionate creationist with a specialty in dinosaurs. I really like him and his theories about dinosaurs, but you need to check him out for yourself. I could go on and on... But part of his ministry is debating evolutionists and he is brutal! We watched a debate between him, an evolutionist and a guy with the view of extended creation, that God is the Creator, but not in six literal days. That guy sounded confused about what he believed. The evolutionist just denied that there is a God so how could He create?
Anyways...I have been very interested in that topic and wondering what I really believe. It just so happens that today, being June 1, I had decided to start Amazing Facts Bible Reading Plan. And as you can guess, Genesis 1 and 2 are scheduled for the first day. Great timing, right???
I consider the Bible to be God's Word. When it comes to the end of the day, where it says, the first day, the second day, and so on, it says (which I have never seemed to notice before) 'the evening and morning were the _____ day.' So I can't help but believe that.
It takes much more faith to believe in evolution. Speaking of soups churning for millions of years grosses me out! I was out on the farm helping out today and Rob had found a large bucket full of what had been planned to be compost. But it ended up standing out in the elements and got full of rain water despite the board covering it to keep water out. I have no idea how long it had been sitting there, but that stuff was NASTY!!! The smell was wafting in the breeze and looking in it reminded me of a stomach full of rotted food that was going to be vomited. There was a film over covering it and I just wanted to be as far away as I could from that compost soup! But, since I was out there to help, and it needed to be taken care of, I helped Rob get rid of it. I wish I had taken a picture for you! I got to drive the tractor, that was fun, but I also had to help Rob lift this big bucket of nastiness up onto the trailer. There were holes in the sides to allow for ropes to be put through to act as handles and the liquid was seeping out through it. Gross! I then drove it slowly to where we were going to dump it. I sloshed around and was spilling out the sides and making a terrible sight and smell. We then had to touch the now extremely wet and nasty ropes and get it off the trailer and dump it out. Nasty. As we were taking it down and as we dumped it out, it made me think of an elephant (or any other extremely large animal) throwing up a months amount of food that had been in their stomach for a year. It was disgusting.
We were joking about the evolution theory of soup and how disgustingly ridiculous that sounds. But thinking about it more, I was saddened to think that people would actually want to believe that that is where we came from. Rather than from a loving God who wanted nothing more than to share His love with us.
It really leaves me speechless. I am SO glad to have a Heavenly Father who wanted ME and created me and even though I appear like that compost soup because of sin and my sins, He sees beauty. It blows my mind.
