This letter is not for the people who are steeped in the religion of evolution. (“Daines isn’t fit to be elected because he believes in creation,” etc.) This, rather, is for people who are sitting on the fence — who know that evolution can’t possibly be true, but because the lie has been told so often and so forcefully, they’re not sure what to believe. 

Some of the people who deny the existence of God are even intelligent in some areas and have letters behind their name. The Bible also gives them letters behind their name — FOOL. I’ll admit that I don’t understand many things. But this I do know. I’m alive and living on this planet. I can look around and see a creation that is fearfully and wonderfully made. 

Before the supposed evolution of humans can be considered, I have other questions. Where did this earth come from? Where did the laws of physics come from? (Gravity, motion, momentum, centrifugal force, etc.) Where did the elements come from? Where did all the metals come from? Did the metals all evolve from a single one?

We know that the earth is round. If all the people of the world were told to point upward, half of the people would be pointing in opposite directions. Half of the airplanes that are taking off at any given time are taking off upside down. Cars, trains and people are walking and driving around upside down or sideways compared to other people of the world at any given time. The atmosphere stays in place around the world instead of dissipating into space. What holds it to the earth? What is gravity and how does it work? How can these wonders be?

Where did the legion of plants come from? Did they all “evolve” from one plant? Where did all the insects come from? Where did the rest of the animals come from? And then there are humans. Did we evolve from plants, insects, or other animals? 

For argument’s sake, let’s say that some goo accidently came to life. There would have to be a law that said that that goo would have to reproduce after its own kind. Otherwise, nothing that was reproduced would be the same. Where did that law originate? And if it started to reproduce, again for argument’s sake, after its own kind, at what point would two sexes be needed? And at what point would those two sexes evolve? If that goo had the capability to reproduce by itself, why would there be the need for two sexes? Each sex would have to have the capability to reproduce itself until such time as all functions of each sex were fully developed so that they could finally mate to create the system of reproduction that exists now. Since most living creatures need male and female to reproduce, logic dictates that every living thing that needs two sexes to create would all have to be in a single line of evolution. That means insects, animals and humans all evolved from each other. Preposterous? ABSOLUTELY!

There are two prominent scientists who both embraced evolution. After studying the single cell and all its complexity with modern technology and modern instruments, they both realized that evolution couldn’t have happened. One of them stated that “evolution couldn’t have happened, but I still believe it” and the other one stated that “evolution couldn’t have happened” and then he ascribed the creation of humanity to superior beings from another planet. (That begs the question, where did the beings from the other planet come from?) 

There was another scientist who was a mathematician who believed in evolution. His specialized field was probability. After studying evolution in that light, he came to the conclusion that it couldn’t possibly be true and his belief changed to the acceptance of a creator. I have read that late in life Darwin refuted his own theory and said, “I was a young man with unformed ideas.” 

The question must be asked, why are so many people espousing evolution to be “fact.” We know the answer from the Bible. It says that Satan is a liar, and it is his intention to influence anyone that he can and drag them to hell with him. It was his lie from the beginning that he spread through unsuspecting people (Darwin and others). 

We must also ask why people would choose to believe the unrealistic, illogical, and idiotic notion that life just happened. It is easier to deny the existence of God than to be accountable to His precepts and His plan for people’s salvation through His Son, Jesus. A line from an old song describes the situation perfectly today. “Like a fast motorcycle with a devil in the seat, going 90 miles an hour down a dead-end street.”

I must admit that my puny little mind can’t understand the magnitude of God. I can not wrap my mind around infinity. I can’t comprehend the awesome power, knowledge and majesty of God. But this I do know. Evolution is not science, but rather it is a lie that was perpetrated by the god of the lie, Satan. And it has become a religion to many. No matter how many people state a lie, and no matter how many people repeat and maybe even believe it, it never turns into the truth. 

The Bible says that “a fool has said in his heart that there is no God.” Don’t be that fool. We have one chance to make our choice for eternity. God provided that to us through Jesus Christ. Words cannot express the despair that people will feel at the great judgment but the Bible describes it as “a weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.” If all the proponents of evolution want to continue in their folly, they have that choice. But please don’t banish your kids and grandkids from a relationship with Jesus because of your arrogance and belligerence towards God and His plan for salvation. 

God does not force himself on anyone but is standing at the door of each of our hearts ready to forgive our transgressions if we ask. Each one of us is only a split second from eternity. The moment you die, truth will be revealed. You will then know if you have believed the truth or believed a lie. And if you have believed that lie, whether you have relegated your loved ones to eternity without God by what you believed and by what you taught. 

Jesus gave himself for us that we may avoid the judgment that we all deserve. That is why we celebrate Christmas. “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Other people and I have said this before. If Christians die and we’re wrong, what have we lost? But if an atheist dies and you’re wrong, what will you lose? 

The creation of God is intricately and delicately made, not evolved. This universe, all the laws and everything in it was made by God. And that is the truth.
