Creation versus evolution

Let me tell you why I am a believer in creation by Almighty God.  My parents were creationist and I followed in their footsteps despite all the evolution talk at school.  When I reached the sixth form at school I felt that perhaps the scientists did know a thing or two and I became a theistic evolutionist.  Then I went to university at Cardiff in Wales and went along to the Christian Union and found they had books about the whole subject of creation with reasoned arguments against evolution.  I was delighted to be able to go back to my roots and read up on why there is a strong case for creation. If you believe in God you should think just how mighty He is and then there is no problem in believing He made everything just as written in the Bible.  The atheist needs evolution to try to do away with the need for a God, but even if there had been a Big Bang there would need to have been a creator to set it off. Life is so beautiful in its design, surely this speaks of a Divine Creator.  If you are a christian you need to get this sorted.  If you are a theistic evolutionist do you realize you believe God made the Earth and all animal life through death and misery for no good reason.  God would not do this.  All things were created good and it was only when Adam and Eve sinned against God that death came into the equation and affected all of creation. If you can prove evolution is true, to me I will know that then I have to stop believing in God I cannot find any compatability between God and evolution. That is how strongly I feel about it.  Being a theistic evolutionist is untenable.

Why do many disasters happen?

I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event.  In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself.  In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates.  Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting.  We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...

Always wanting something new

Every time I take a few days off from my blog my ratings slump.  Very rarely do people go back into my old posts and read again.  This is a typical attitude of the human heart, always wanting something different.  At this time of year we should not be greedily wondering want new thing we will be getting for Christmas.  Instead we should be looking at the old, old story, which is ever new of a baby who amazingly was God incarnate, God's gift to those who will put there trust in this one who was to grow up to give His life for His people.  Set aside the controversy over whether December 25th is the actual date of His birth.(Shepherds do not keep their sheep out at night in Israel in December.) and set aside time to think about the fact that He did come and ponder if He came to set you free and if your answer is ,"Yes," He will make you free indeed.

Grey and gloomy

That's how it was in Devon today. But I had a good day. First short mat bowling which I love. It takes your mind off anything that is worrying you too. Then a lunch at the chapel for which a donation is given. This goes to missionary work. Then I had a nap. Next I got fired up to continue writing my sermon for June 21st. It just came so easily. They are usually the best. I'm a beginner so I like to keep well ahead with my sermon writing. My sermon for June 14th was originally written for June 7th, then there was a change of plan. The one for the 21st just needs prayers added now. Probably they are better added nearer the date.
