Would not be the same without it. I love your last paragraph here, "How amazing it is to think that the Creator of all loves us so much that He created us in His image, gave His Son to redeem us, and indwelled believers with His Holy Spirit to empower us with the mind of Christ. May we glorify Him in all we think, speak and do (Romans 15:6)."

The evolutionists are fond of quoting "science," when, in fact, the "science" behind their theory is shoddy at best and in large part is nonexistent (the missing link is still missing). Even worse, their theories fly in the face of science as we know it. If you take papers from a file cabinet and toss them in the air while high-speed fans are blowing, they're not going to land in a more ordered fashion than they were originally. The Second Law of Thermodynamics tells us that entropy, or disorder, naturally increases. Something arising from nothing, and simple organisms becoming more complex by chance, are nonsensical concepts. Scientific theories come and go, but God and His Word are the same yesterday, today and always.<br />Blessings to you,<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-10782730687450899192012-01-10T14:01:48.577-08:002012-01-10T14:01:48.577-08:00Amen, Joan!

I believe that pride gets in the way of the evolutionists accepting this, as it means acknowledging their own limitations.

I guess evolutionists just want to figure everything out. They don't want to believe that something is beyond their comprehension. However, to me, believing in a Supreme Being who intelligently put the world into motion and linked everything together by His hand...is much, MUCH easier (and more logical) to accept! I much prefer knowing that God is in control and HE has it all figured out!<br /><br />Blessings, JoanJoan Davis (Jo)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02305888520649862063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-79194167094611892522012-01-09T19:52:09.692-08:002012-01-09T19:52:09.692-08:00I appreciate this teaching-especially the part abo...I appreciate this teaching-especially the part about the Trinity.
