    Any other notions with regard to existence must necessarily contradict or fly in the face of the word of God. Hence, we are faced with a choice of either believing God's version of the matter or man's theories with regard thereunto. If He has given us faith we will believe Him, and if not we will believe someone else. The main alternative to God and creation now being either ignorantly, deceptively, or dishonestly advanced as fact instead of theory is the idea of evolution. But we do not hesitate to say that this concept is absurd on the face of it. In order for this theory to be true, any life form that came into existence would necessarily have to already be possessed of the ability to find and ingest nourishment. It would also have to be able to digest, assimilate and excrete that nourishment. Without any one of these abilities it would very shortly die. It would also have to be able to reproduce itself, otherwise it would become extinct as soon as it died. It could not wait for weeks to evolve these abilities, much less millions of years. These things are so self-evident we marvel that anyone would embrace such a notion as having any credence at all. The notion that any inanimate, lifeless substance could, of itself suddenly come to life, is simply too ridiculous for words. But to argue that it then could live for millions of years before it evolved the ability to eat, breathe, see, walk, fly, etc., etc., insults the intelligence of reasonable people. It is amazing the lengths to which men will go in an effort to get around the existence of a Creator God. The Bible clearly explains the existence of the earth and all the other heavenly bodies, as well as all life forms and how they subsist and reproduce. This explanation may appear unbelievable to some but the alternatives are far more unbelievable.
