John 1:1
It's sad to me that you are asking other Christians to prove to you that what the Bible says is true. But you are and so I present my case. 1 Peter 3:15, says we should be able to provide evidence for the hope we profess and that begins with what we believe about the first chapter of the book. You have mentioned many times that Jesus is the truth as He states in John 14:6. It is also true that He is the Word as stated 13 chapters before in John 1:1. A simple logic problem would be If Jesus is the truth and Jesus is the Word, then the Word is truth. The Bible being God's Word (aka Jesus), it is truth, whether my finite mind can understand it or not. My personal understanding and interpretation are meaningless to God. By asserting our own interpretations and dismissing what the Bible says puts us in a position of prideful rebellion against God and His Word. It also opens us up and those who listen to us to inserting our own interpretations to anything in the Bible so we can have it say whatever we want it to say. That happens on too many social issues already. We rely on what others say is true rather than on what God says is true. The evidence for evolution is the same. Your site is full of quotes from human beings to show proof of evolution, while any reference to the Bible seems only to dispute its validity and add your own interpretation of it. The Bible was written to guide us and allow us to get to know God, not for us to mold to our own beliefs or to bow to our level of understanding. Would you want someone reading your biography and dismissing amazing things you had done in your life simply because they couldn't believe you actually
did it or someone else who wasn't there said they could somehow prove you didn't?
Why am I a 'creationist'? Because Genesis 1 says that God created the world in a certain way and I believe it. If God had used evolution to create the world in 200 million years, I believe He would have had it written as such and I would believe that instead. Though we are not meant to be equal to God, we were meant to know Him and know our beginnings and be in communication with him. To know how valued and loved we are that He would create us in His image and not just leave us up to hopeful chance. I believe God is all-powerful, all-knowing and all-present. He did not need millions of years of trial and error to create the world. He knew exactly what He was doing and had a purpose to it.
I do take Genesis literally, as I do all the history books, the lives and accounts of the prophets, the gospels and the letters of the New Testament. I think God creating the world as He did is amazing! He is the first scientist. He knew the perfect balance of molecules needed for us to breath, how to make photosynthesis work and seeds grow, how to join two tiny cells to create a new being the exact same species as its parents. As I look at the world around me, i see an amazing God who created a perfect world for His perfect creation (Romans 1:20). Of course, that creation is now corrupted, but he will create it once more in the Second Coming.
But that's the bottom line for me. God said it, I believe it. That does it. I don't really care how humans interpret 'evidence', i see it in light of the Word of God and marvel at how awesome He is.
