Why do giraffes have long necks or kangaroos have pouches? Evolutionists answer that natural selection has favored the development of certain characteristics while discouraging and eliminating other features. But if this is what happened, we, who believe in creation have a few questions.
And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. (Genesis 6:19 KJV)
I cannot shake the conviction that much of the evangelical church has become embarrassed by Jesus Christ.
And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
(Genesis 6:6 KJV)
Completely unrelated creatures that depend entirely upon one another to live and have no way of living without one another, pose a very serious challenge to those who claim that all living things evolved. The relationship is called reciprocal altruism.
At evilbible.com, a website that purports to “spread the vicious truth about the Bible” (2013), the very first alleged “obvious contradiction” listed involves Genesis 1:31 and Genesis 6:6. Since Genesis 1:31 says, “God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good,” and Genesis 6:6 reveals that “the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart,” the Bible is said to be contradictory and untrustworthy. Allegedly, the Lord could not be both satisfied and dissatisfied with His Creation.
Romans 5:1–4
“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope.”
6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days – and also afterward – when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come. For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof. (Psalms 102:13-14 KJV)
How long does man live. Genesis 6:3 says 120 years but Psalm 90:10 says 70 years; yet in Genesis 11 we see that people lived hundreds of years.
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (I John 1:7 KJV)
According to other verses like Psalm 90:10, man has a different lifespan. But Genesis 6:3 probably uses a calendar that doubles the years from 60 to 120. The ancient Mesopotamians had only two seasons: summer and winter, and the average person would’ve easily counted them as years. The Mesopotamian year was originally shorter than 12 months, eventually evolving.
Atheists claim that there is no evidence for God, and agnostics claim that the evidence is not sufficient. The Bible reveals the secrets of men’s hearts to show that atheists and agnostics are deceiving themselves.
“I am confused about some of the numbers found in Genesis 5-7. What exactly does the 120 years refer to in Genesis 6:3? I’ve heard some say that it refers to the limit of one’s lifespan on Earth, but that can’t be true because people lived longer than 120 years after the Flood. I also don’t understand how, as some have concluded, it could refer to there only being 120 years left before God flooded the Earth. That seems impossible since Noah was 500+ years old when he learned about the Flood (Genesis 5:32-6:13), and the Flood occurred when he was 600 (Genesis 7:6). It seems that either the 120 years does not refer to the time just before the Flood or the “120 years” should have been “100 years” (otherwise the Flood would have come in the 620th year of Noah and not the 600th year). Can you help explain this conundrum?”
In rejecting God and promoting life as a product of blind evolution, Darwin was sinning against his own conscience and he suffered greatly for it. He was afraid of being branded “the Devil’s chaplain.” He was “destitute of faith, yet terrified at scepticism” (Desmond, Darwin, p. 268). “When Darwin did come out of his closet and bare his soul to a friend, he used a telling expression. He said it was ‘like confessing a murder’” (Desmond, p. xviii).
