The Lie Of Evolution
Students, today I want to talk to you about the Lie of Evolution. Evolution is a lie. Most of you have probably been taught about evolution since you were in grade school. You’ve been taught that evolution is a fact. When I was growing up, they used to call it the theory of evolution. But somewhere along the way they dropped the words theory of evolution and just started calling evolution. They present it as a fact.
But it’s not a fact. There is zero proof of macro evolution. Not one shrewd of evidence. Is there evidence of changes within species? Absolutely. Dogs have evolved into different breeds of dogs. Cats have evolved into different breeds of cats. But no dogs have ever evolved into cats and no monkeys have every evolved into humans. It absolutely has never happened. There are no half-ape and half-human skeletons out there.
Evolution is one of the worst insults against Almighty God! God created the heavens and the earth. He created the whole universe. To say that this all happened by chance is an affront, it is an offense to the great Creator God. Psalm 19:1 says that the heavens declare the glory of God. Look at you and I, look at our bodies, we are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). God made us in His image (Genesis 1:27).
Do You Really Believe That Nothing Created Everything?
The thing that cracks me up is that if you believe in evolution, you believe that everything came from nothing. Even when you go back billions and billions of years, and keep getting smaller and smaller objects to start from, you eventually have to go back so far that nothing created everything. You have to believe that non-life, created life. Look at this building behind me. The sign says Blunt Hall. They have been working on it all year.
They didn’t just throw out some bags of concrete, metal and glass and voila, suddenly a building appeared there. No, there was an architect, a contractor and workers have been working on this building. (But for argument sake), lets say that they really just threw materials on the ground and this building magically appeared. To believe in evolution, you’d have to explain how the materials got there. But the materials didn’t just magically appear. The building didn’t just magically appear. It’s the same way with evolution.
It took a manufacturer to make the car that you drive. Why is it that you can see that a manufacturer made your car, yet you believe the nothing created everything. Nothing did NOT create everything and believing so, is an affront, it is an offense to a Holy God. God made each and every one of us in His image. Believing in evolution is just like spitting in God’s face. Why does it matter what you believe and what I believe? It matters because we have all sinned against God. We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).
We Are All Going To Face Death
It’s appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment (Hebrews 9:27). We are all going to face death. We are all going to die someday. You and I were born to die. We all have a date that we were born on and we all have a date that we will die on. We don’t know when that’s going to be. You do not want to die in your sins. You do not want to die outside of Christ Jesus. You either die in Christ or you die outside of Christ. You die either saved or unsaved. You die as a follower of Christ or as an unbeliever. There is no third option. There is no middle road. It’s either salvation or damnation.
Students, I don’t want to see any of you die in your sins and go to Hell. I want you to be saved. Salvation is in Jesus Christ alone. There is no other savior. You must be saved through the shed blood of Jesus Christ or the guilt of your sins remains upon you. I plead with you, do not foolishly die in your sins and go to Hell. Repent and believe the Gospel. Put your trust in Jesus Christ. The Bible says that we are to put on the Lord Jesus (Romans 13:14).
We Can’t Make Ourselves Right With God
We can’t make ourselves good. We can’t cleanse ourselves. We can’t make ourselves right or righteous with our Holy God. Only God can do that for us and He did that through Jesus Christ. Jesus did what we could never do. Jesus never sinned. Not one time. He lived a perfect, sinless life. He willingly was bruised for our iniquities and by His stripes we are healed. God poured His wrath over sin out upon His own precious Son. Jesus took the punishment that we deserve. You and I are the sinners. Jesus was not. We are the ones that broke God’s Law. Crucifixion was a horrible way to die. But Jesus did that willingly. He died on the cross for guilty sinners like you and I.
Jesus died, was buried and rose from the grave three days later. Jesus defeated sin, death, Hell and Satan. God offers eternal life, everlasting life to each and every person who repents of their sins and puts their faith in Jesus. Yes, it’s being sorry for our sins. But it’s more than just sorrow. It’s godly sorrow. It’s when you recognize that your sins have offended the one true, Holy and Righteous God. Don’t continue down the broad road to destruction. Don’t continue offending God by saying no to God and yes, to your own way. Don’t continue believing the lie of evolution. Repent of your sins and surrender your life to Jesus. Do this today and be saved.
