Creationism vs Evolution
Introduction
This world is full of things that often confuse people, as we know about theory creationism and evolution. Creation stated there is God, but evolution is not. The theory of creationism is clearly connected to the Bible, but evolution is full of human theories. Humans are given the power of choice which part they will believe in. In this essay, we will discuss this comparison between creationism and evolution.
Content
Firstly, the theory of creationism is not against the Bible because it states there is God our Creator, however it is very different from the theory of evolution which is very clearly contrary to the Bible. The Bible stated that “In the beginning God created heaven and the earth”. So, there is God who created the earth including everything in it. It is impossible for something to exist without a maker. Every believer certainly believes that behind every creation, there is an extraordinary creator.
Secondly, the theory of creationism is according to the bible and what is written in it, but evolution is full of what humans think. Darwin stated that these species undergo physical changes over time due to natural selection or only exist by chance. However, Christians believe that everything that exists is not by chance but is designed and has a designer for an extraordinary purpose. According to the Bible, animals and plants were created by God on the day of creation. The Bible is the standard of living for Christians, so anything that is outside the Bible means it is not from the God we believe in.
Thirdly, everyone has the power of choice to believe in these theories. There is no element of coercion from any part, but this is where we need to use the right choice and of course, the right choice comes from the right evidence. When choosing to believe in the theory of evolution means we choose not to believe in the existence of God who created the earth and its contents. However, if we choose to believe in God and the existence of God, of course, we also believe that behind everything in this world there is a maker with an extraordinary purpose. We must choose wisely so that we do not get lost in every teaching.
POV
Out of so much that the world has to offer us, we should always pray for God's Holy Spirit to help us in taking every action. Likewise with these two theories, we as Christians must always put God first in life so that our lives are not easily destroyed by the things of this world. Christian life every day must be based on the word of God. Anything that is not based on God's word is not from God. Be wise in making every decision to believe in something, ask God because God never lets His people walk alone, because He loves us.
Conclusion
When there are so many things that confuse everyone about these two theories, namely the theory of creationism and evolution, it turns out that there are important lessons that we get and of course this is related to what the Bible says, how one believes and what one will choose. There is God. If you believe completely in God, put yourself and everything you do in line with what is written in the Bible. In terms of believing, no one is forcing, this is where we must choose and consider everything wisely. Nothing is by chance in this world, everything has been made, and God made it by word with a wonderful purpose.
