| EVOLUTION IS SIMPLE I will admit it took a very long time before receiving revealtion on evolution. The reason it took so long is because my mind was filled with confusion about the question of man coming from ape. Well to put the confusion to rest let me show you how simple it is. About five years ago I heard Dr. Miles Monroe say that everything living came from dirt, and everything we eat is made up of dirt, finally everything living turns back to dirt. My mind was so curious about what he said but still I had no idead how this related to evolution. Now my religious upbringing taught me that God never would have made such a mistake and that if man came from ape it would have said it in the bible. When we take a closer look at the bible we can see that all the animals were on earth before man. The bible specifies that God first created the animals in the sea and animals with wings. Science says the same thing. Next God created animals of the field and creeping things. This also agrees with science, that everything started in the waters and as lakes and rivers began to dry up, they left behind living creatures that adapted to dry land. The bible states that God said let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their own kind and then the earth was filled with creeping things and wild animals. This is a bit difficult because the first thing I thought about after reading (1Gen. 24) was animals springing from the earth, which is true if we look at how much water covered the earth, in the beginning. In other words animals creeped out of watery earth and adjusted to breathing. All of these adjustments took long periods of time. Science have proven that fleshy fish fins turned into legs, and these animals crept out of water unto drier land. Remember all of these creatures kept evolving, with every evolution they became more adaptable to their environment. Creatures that could not adapt died out. Now we come to chapter (1:26) and read how God spoke to others and told tell He was going to created mankind in His Image and His likeness, and Give mankind authority over all the other creatures on earth. Chapter (27) says that God created male and female in His image and likeness. It is very important that we see God was not creating man and women physical bodies. No this creation of mankind is his spiritual creation. And it was in man´s spiritual creation that God told him to have complete authority over everything on earth. Chapter (28) says God blessed Adam and Eve and told them to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth, and to use all the vast resources of the earth in service of God and man. Man still does not have a physical body. Man has been created, and given dominion, but is without a physical body. He is to dominate the earth, in the same Spiritual image and likeness as God. This means mankind is in a special place with God before coming to earth. Now you are probably wondering how could mankind dominate the earth without a body. And the answer is simply he was given the same dominion as his Image, while still in a spiritual form. The bible says mankind´s (Body) was created from the dust of the ground (2:7); animals were also created from the dust of the ground. Looking at flesh we see all flesh is made of the same components. And to verify this all flesh returns to earth when it dies. In other words monkey and mankind has the same flesh. This is why science say man came from monkey. And this is true if we speak of the physical makeup of both, but it is the Spirit of mankind that separate him from all other creation. The Spirit of God was given to mankind before mankind walked on earth. By putting His Spirit in man God seperated him and assured him of dominion. It is the Spirit of God that causes us to be above the animal kingdom. It is the Spirit of God that causes us to use all the resources of this earth for the betterment of mankind. This my friend is why God gave mankind His image and likeness. Mankind was created to be an extension of God, not made to act like a monkey Let me conclude by saying everything was created with a spirit of life but only man was created in the likeness and image of God. So mankind job on earth is to extend, multiply, and be fruitful in spreading God´s image.. |
