Two world views

 

 Camp 1. There is a God (The Non-Atheist view)

 In Genesis chapter one, we read the following;

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day. And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. 

 10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.

11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.

14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years,

15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. 16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.

 

20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.” 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.

24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.

 

31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

Camp 2. There is No God (The Atheist - evolutionist view)

Camp 2 believe that a point of matter, a singularity, something like a period or dot on a page was there somewhere in nothing, then it went bang. And out of that explosion and after billions of years and millions of transitions from lower life to higher life, we are where we are today. Really?

This view is impossible. Those believing this view have to face the fact that they are saying nothing created everything. This includes such ideas as the Miller-Urey experiment and Abiogenesis.

Question 1 Where did the matter to make the dot come from?

Question 2 Where did the energy come from to make it explode or expand?

Fact 1

Matter can't self materialise, meaning it can't come from nowhere.

This leave the evolutionist having to believe all life came from nothing

Fact 2

Life can never come from none life. It's never going to happen and never did happen.

What must we conclude about creation? 

Either nothing did it, or God did.

See Romans 1:18-21

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.  For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened." 

God's wrath (fiercest anger) is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men.

Men (man in general) know the truth about God but suppress that truth, which is an unrighteous thing to do.

The truth of God has been manifest in them, they know, because God's invisible attributes are clearly seen, in the things God made. (including mankind)

The NLT says, "Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God."

Even His eternal power can be seen.  

God is eternal, He created all things, seen and unseen, and His power is somehow seen in the creation.

God is all powerful, and I don't think it's possible to comprehend the greatness of that power.  

Here is a great teaching video on this subject by Kyle Butt called Evidences - There Is A God

In the video, Kyle addressing the problem of cause and effect.

What did I mean?

At the start of "Two world views" I made a point "If you're in camp two, then you already have a god, but you probably don’t know who it is yet." What did I mean ?

The Devil is a liar a deceiver, the Satan. His influence on the people of this world is evident. He not only deceives people into believing there is no God, but actually intends to be God who is worshipped.

2Thess 2, Ezekiel 28 and Isaiah 14:11-15, 

Side Note: Jesus tells us there is a ruler of this world that is going to be cast out. John 12:31;14:30;16:11 

In Colossians 1:10-14 we see that those in Christ have been "delivered from the power of darkness and conveyed into the kingdom of the son of His love"

Many people believe in themselves, even to the point that they say they are seeking their inner power. They do meditation and spiritually tuning into themselves to find god within, they do Yoga and positive thinking, speaking positivity and such like. This is not Christianity and has nothing to do with Christ, it is new age spirituality and is a world of the Devil. (Satan)

Although atheist say there is "No GOD" However the process of evolution is about the progression of simple life evolving into more complex, life so a higher power is exactly where their evolution is taking them. Of course, it's not really going to make them god, but that's the Devils - Satans deception, it takes people away from finding God and following the Devil. He wants to be the god they don't believe exists.

I created the chart below a few years ago, it shows the progression of the evolution starting with nothing of course. But if you follow the logic of evolution, it is obvious where it must conclude.

In Genesis 3:5 we read what the Devil told Eve would happen if she ate the forbidden fruit.

Conclusion
So if you're in camp two, then you already have a god, and now you know who it is, the Devil.
