According to the Bible, God created the world in six days, not six million years or six billion years. How do we know that God actually meant "days"? (Genesis 1, verse 5 says, "And the evening and the morning were the first day." Now, it seems God is making it abundantly clear, marking the time here to explain that this time frame was, indeed one day, or one rotation of the earth.) Again, you can read it for yourself. I won't make any interpretations of the Bible. Neither should anyone else who wants to justify believing in evolution.
Genesis, chapter one. This is the first book of the Bible. The first verse of the first chapter says: "In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth." Now, if we believe in the Bible as being the Holy Book, the unvarnished truth of God's Word, I should think that the first verse of the first book of the Bible is the first thing we should accept and believe.
In the beginning God, not the cosmos, not evolution, not the devil but God created the heaven and the earth.
Ok, but you say, "How could God have possibly created the world in only six days? It's impossible!"
And, you would be right. That's why they call it a miracle. A miracle is something that is impossible in the natural. But, since God is God and He is a God of Miracles, yes, He created our world in six days. Would it be less of a miracle if it happened over a period of billions of years? No. But, if God could create it in billions of years, He could create it in six days. Creation is a miracle. There's no other way around it.
We didn't get here from some super nova exploding out in outer space and then arranging itself all neatly into under-developed life forms that were at the beginning stages of evolution. If you believe all that, it takes a lot of faith. But some would call that being educated. In fact, it's hard for such people to have enough faith to simply believe that God actually meant what He said.
When Moses asked God for an explanation of creation, he received the book of Genesis. So, who was Moses? What was his track record? You can read about him. God said that He talked to Moses "face to face".
Take a look at Moses' credentials, his life and all the miracles God used him to perform. Moses heard from God. Moses had conversations with God and took notes. Wouldn't you?
On the other hand, when Charles Darwin, for example, wanted to know the secret of creation, did he talk to God? I'm leaning towards the idea that he talked to the "other guy".
Ask yourself why someone would want to come up with ungodly theories of how we got here. I think the answer is simple. They didn't want to have to believe in God because that would mean they owed their allegiance to something greater, smarter and more powerful than themselves.
So they convinced billions of, so-called, educated people to believe that our purpose for existing on this planet is to be a part of evolution's primordial soup, to do our part in the advancement of the species into future generations and generations and generations of the super humans we will some day evolve into.
Of these two men, who are you going to believe?
Take a look around you. Do you honestly believe we are evolving? If any of us are making any progress, it's the people who try to follow the example set out for us in the Gospels.
Jesus was the purest and highest form of humanity that ever walked on the face of this planet. That's why we had to crucify Him.
Oh, ...but He rose again. And that, too was a miracle.
Just like the miracle of creation.
