Creation Science For Kids

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

When you come up against a Christian who believes in evolution, your conversations with him will be qualitatively different from the conversations that you might have with an unbeliever. It can be very frustrating and even depressing to encounter a Christian who says that he believes the Bible but does not believe the literal truth of what the Bible teaches in Genesis 1. How can you defend creationist truth in such a situation? It can often seem overwhelming to try to do so.

1. Just because your friend does not believe in a literal six-day creation does not mean that he is an unbeliever. Jesus does not require belief in a literal six-day creation for salvation.

2. You do not need to know everything. There are great websites and books to point people to that will help you answer questions.

3. You should at least know a few facts, especially those that are derived from Scripture. You may not need to know quantum mechanics and string theory, but you should be reading your Bible and knowing a little of what it says.

The answer to point three is to do a little studying. You should at least look at a couple of easy-to-read books or web pages so that you can answer some common questions.

The Bible says that you should “do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15)

Prayer:

Thank You, Lord, for making Your word clear about how creation happened. Help us to be gracious but knowledgeable about creation when talking with my Christian friends. Amen.

Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Psalm 19:1-3 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 19:2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 19:3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning (time), God created the heavens (space) and the earth (matter)."

Evolution is taught in public schools like a religion. There are many false religions in this world. Many people are deceived by these false religions.

(1) Does the religion require you to "work" you way to heaven through church instituted rituals?

(2) If your church or religion requires you to work your way to heaven, it is a FALSE religion and a FALSE church.

Does your religion have many rituals and rules to abide by to aquire eternal life through your church only?

Does your church have authority or power to bestow eternal life on any individual? Does your religion have power to purchase your salvation?

2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

Does your church make merchandise of men by requiring them to pay money to purchase their salvation?

Does your false religion tell you to pray to dead people whom they say can intercede for you?

If the answer to any of the above is yes you are believing in a false religion that has deceived you.

2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

3:6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

3:7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life

3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
