Reasoning about Origins*
I have read several creationist and intelligent design books that give information about the origins of man. I quite enjoy them because I am able to use my mind, my abillity to reason and the intellegence and knowledge I have in order to come to a conclusion about what I'm reading and researching. I have compared the theory of evolution with the information from the side of intelligent design, as well as the only historical document that gives us any information about the origins of everything in the universe and on this planet, including man (in Genesis, the first book of the Bible), and I believe that the information is so overwhelming towards an intelligent designer, that there has to be a Creator, an intelligent person who designed this fabulous universe.
I also find it quite interesting that there are so many today in school and university who never really look into the valid evidence of intelligent design, and only choose to accept one theory, and not allowing any possibility, (with their limited knowledge of all the information in the universe that they don't know yet) of the supernatural. Instead they prefer to read and believe only what information comes out about evolution. "It would seem that atheists see themselves as the intellectual saviors of those who haven't the brainpower to think for themselves. It was Irish playwright and atheist, George Bernard Shaw, who rightly warned, 'All censorships exist to prevent any one from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions.'" - Ray Comfort.
You know, the reason they do this is because if there is a Creator, then they are accountable to Him, and they dont want to be seen as a bad person, a rebel or a lawless person. They dont want God making the rules about right and wrong, and they dont want to be punished for the things they do (knowing it's wrong). They want to protect their sinful lifestyle because they love it, as a pig loves the mud. It's all they know in life, and its what they are used to. They aren't interested in the truth, they are interested in the pleasures of the world and the lust of the flesh. They understand that there is a day of Judgment coming, wherein God will judge each unforgiven sinner according to their evil deeds.
But, instead of turning to God and embracing truth, they make up a life based on fantasy land beliefs such as evolution, holding to their belief that Judgment day will never come and they are not going to be judged. Unfortuantely, they can't change reality. But they try, and they continue to fight against anything that says otherwise, including the Bible and Christianity. They do their best to keep information about creationism or intelligent design out of the classrooms, because they know that any student in their right mind, when given the chance to see both views, in detail, side by side, they would absolutely believe in Creationism. Which means there's a Creator, which means they're accountable to Him, which means atheists would feel uncomfortable living the way they do, and they would feel guilty and condemned by God, which is the truth of the matter, and they just dont want to feel that way, so they make everyone else feel bad, and try to censor other people's views, and remain close minded.
You know, all they have to do to be free of the burden of their guilt is to cry out to God. That is what they need to do, yet because of pride and the love of sin, its too difficult for them to do...this simple thing. Cry out to God for forgiveness, repent of and forsake their lifestyle of rebellion, and turn to live God's way, trusting Christ Jesus died on the cross, who paid the fine, so they dont have to face God's wrath and judgment, and be an eternity in Hell. They could be free of their guilt, free from the wages of their sin, and the eternal punishment. But...
They are so opposed to it, to the things of God that they dont even try it, with a sincere and humble heart, to "Search for God, and know the truth". They have nothing to lose. God is waiting, even now, for them to turn to Him. God tells us in the Bible, (His own words to mankind), that "He is not slack in his return, He is giving more time to us, becuase He doesnt want any to perish, but all to come to repentance." But there will come a time when He says, "Enough" towards wicked mankind, and the last soul is saved. And then the Lord will return, and Judgment will come.
If you call God’s name, shall humble yourself, and pray, and seek His face, and turn from your wicked ways, then He will hear from heaven, and will forgive your sin… (2 Chronicles 7:14)
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall be converted unto thee. (Psalm 51:10-13)
"I have found, my brethren, by long experience that nothing touches the heart like the cross of Christ. When the heart is touched and wounded by the two-edged sword of the Law, nothing heals its wounds like the balm that flows from the pierced heart of Jesus." - Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892)
Soul, do not leave this earth unprepared to stand before God. Get right with God today, get peace with God through Jesus Christ today. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. Salvation is only available while your still alive. After you die God tells us, in Hebrews 9:27, there is only judgment. And those who are judged, will be cast into Hell for all eternity. Soul, none of us deserves to be redeemed, rescued, saved. We're all guilty of sinning against God. We're criminals in His eyes, but He cares so much about His creation that He made a way for us to be in right standing with Him, to have our fine paid, our sins forgiven. When we receive Jesus, God will bang that eternal gavel in the Court of God and your case will be closed. Jesus paid your fine with His life's blood, taking the wrath of God upon Himself before He died, so that you could go free and life. Soul, you dont want to die! Come to Jesus and live. Do it today, even now. Talk to God right now, repent of your sins and trust in Christ. He will give you a new nature, with a new heart and right desires. Then find a Protestant church and talk to the pastor. He will help you learn how to live a life that pleases God and as a follower, a disciple, of Jesus. There are no works, you need to do, nothing legalistic, nothing required. But Jesus wants you to serve Him and worship Him because it is your reasonable service to the Creator, and Savior who redeemed you. And your heart should be overwhelmed with love and gratitude for Christ that you can not but speak of the miracle He has done in your life and serve Him out of love.
These are my ramblings, but may the information in this post, encourage you to look into the things of God if you are not a Born again Disciple of Christ. Eternity is too long for you to be wrong. Einstein said: "Man only knows 2% of all the knowledge of the universe" and admitted: "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."
"Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. Isaiah 1:18

Scientists:
Brilliant Scientists and Educated people who have and do believe in a Creator. And the founding fathers of modern Science. These people are far more intelligent and smarter than any of us are, and they embraced intelligent design because they followed the evidence whereever it lead them, and it lead them to the intelligent designer.

Remember, Evolution is a theory, its not a fact. There is no evidence to prove it, its just believed based on the thoughts and considerations of products or bones scientists have found in the past, but it doesnt prove their beliefs on the subject of origins, it just shows things died that once were living, soil shifted and looks as it does. There are no facts for evolution, though the evolutionists try to find them, there are none.
