Humans Are made In The Image Of God:
If you were somehow allowed to meet all 6 billion inhabits of this planet, and if memory would serve, you could recall everyone by name because we all look different. One nose, one mouth, two ears, two eyes, and we all look different. Evolution would not go to that much trouble. In the animal kingdom even God did not go to that much trouble. With only a handful of snowbirds in my backyard I’m hard pressed to tell them apart, although a sparrow will not fall to the ground apart from the will of God (Matthew 10:29). They all look much the same.
Humans, on the other hand, made in the image of God on so many levels, are each unique, right down to our fingerprints and DNA. The very hairs of your hear are numbered. (Matthew 10:30)
According to the account of creation in Genesis, “pain in childbirth” is a punishment given to Eve for eating the “forbidden fruit.” No animal has anywhere near the difficulty women do in giving birth. Why hasn’t “evolution” corrected this difficulty, this injustice, by now?
Biblical arguments abound. And time will not allow a discussion of the scientific evidence of creation such as the universal flood and the wonders of physics.
Don’t be fooled, friends. It boils down to this. You can either serve God who makes you lie down in green pastures. Or a harsh taskmaster who will make a monkey out of you.
