WHEN A CREATIONIST LOOKS TO NATURE
HE SEEs THE EVIDENCE OF A MASTER DESIGNER
I see evidence of a Master designer all around me.
I don't see millions of years of evolution, I see God's creation.
'In the beginning God created the Heavens & Earth'
I don't see millions of years of evolution, I see God's creation.
'In the beginning God created the Heavens & Earth'
Someone once said: They laugh at me because I am diferent.
I laugh at them because they are all the same!
"God's Creation IS MY INSPIRATION - He Put The Art In My Heart"
IT IS NO SURPRISE THAT WE DON’T ALL SHARE THE SAME BELIEFS!.
AS OF JUNE 2020 , GLOBAL POPULATION WAS ESTIMATED AT 7.8 BILLION
I have not always believed what I now believe in.
For over 40 years I went along with Evolutionist beliefs & chose to believe what I wanted.
Not all people share the same beliefs.
You may choose to be whatever you are and I choose to be a Christian Creationist!
What is a Creationist?
As a Creationist I see the hand of God in all things. I trust in the word of my Creator God when He tells me that He designed and created all things the Universe! As I am one of His Creations, I owe it to Him to do His will.
I believe that by contrast the Evolutionist sees no need of a Creator. The Universe designed and created itself!
As an evolutionist he has no need to be concerned for the Creator that he does not believe in. He owes it to himself to do whatever he wants.....That is his choice!
If my belief is correct, then it is ironic that the Evolutionist's freedom of choice is granted to him by the Creator God that he does not trust & believe in.
....But then what would I know?
During my seventy eight years on earth I have been given the time to search for the truth.
Truth is one of those rare things in which there can be no grey areas. Someone’s belief is either black or white. It is either the truth or it is not the truth. There can only be one truth but there can be billions of untruths! One's belief is either correct or incorrect.

We all SHARE the same evidence & the same facts.
we choose to DIFFER IN OUR interpretATION OF the facts
We all have the same evidence and the same facts.
For our evidence we all look to the same earth, the same fossil layers, the same flora and fauna, the same solar system, the same past, present and future and we all share the same facts.
Where we differ, is in the way we choose to interpret the facts and because we start with different presuppositions, we can interpret the facts very differently. We then assume these things to be true, but we are unable to prove them. Our reasoning is based on presuppositions. This is particularly relevant when dealing with past events.
We all exist in the same present and all facts exist in the present. When we try to understand how the evidence came about, like where did the animals come from? What happened to the Dinosaurs? How did layers of fossils form? And so on, what we are really doing is trying to connect the past to the present.
But none of us were there in the past to observe these events. So how can we know what happened and how can we can explain the present?
The Christian relies on the historic records in the Bible and claim them to be the Word of God who was there before the beginning and has revealed to us all, the major events of the past.
In a court of law these writings would be considered as evidence and just like a jury, we can choose to accept or reject this evidence.
Again we all share the same freedom of choice and the same evidence and we can choose to believe or not to believe.
We can choose to build our presuppositions on the historic writings in the Bible or we can build on our presuppositions with newly presented evidence (the more recent writings of others) or we are at liberty to develop our own theories or simply give up.
The reason I am a Creationist is that, I believe the Bible is the Word of God and that it is accurate and truthful in all that it says. It has, to my satisfaction, been tested and found to be true in history, archaeology and fulfilled prophecy. Therefore I accept the Bible’s authority in the account of the origin of life.
I believe the biblical account of creation because to me it is the best explanation for the complexity of design in nature that I have personally witnessed. Everything I see in the Skies, Oceans, Deserts and Forests points to a divine designer.
I have worked closely with flowers and in them I see wonderful and precise design. The beauty and purpose of flowers, their variations in shape, colour and fragrance, to me, all point to a divine artist.
The age of the earth cannot be proven nor disproven by science or by scripture. All methods used are based on presuppositions. Both supporters of a young earth or an old earth believe what they believe by faith alone.
The scientific evidence for the age of the earth is the same for both young earth and old earth supporters. Research based on this shared evidence by either party amounts only to a feasibility study but never to proof.
The Christian (if faithful to the Holy Scriptures) has faith in the Word of God found in the Bible. Others who do not have faith in the Word of God may have faith in the word of man or they may have faith in themselves or just don’t believe anything.
We may choose to accept or reject God’s gift of, what I believe is, the true and historic explanation of the beginnings of things as recorded in the Bible, but in so doing, no matter what ones faith is in, no matter what ones presuppositions are based upon, we all accept God’s gift of freedom of choice.
I see this as more evidence for there being a loving & caring Creator of the Universe. He offers us freedom of choice, the answers to the questions we all ask and He offers us a way to eternal life.
The fact that I choose to believe that our shared evidence points to Creation, makes me no greater a person than one who chooses to believe our shared evidence points to something other than Creation. However as arrogant as it may seem to some, I do lay claim to one thing, I claim wisdom. Not wisdom brought about by my knowledge of the ways of man or my seven decades on this earth, but wisdom brought about by my acceptance and respect for my Creator.

I might not be the ‘brightest spark in the fireplace’
The horticulturalist, showing me propagation methods for Australian native flora, was pleasant and jovial.
I had worked with him for about two months, during which time all our conversation had been work related. During a break one day his conversation turned to the amazing design in plants. |
I agreed with him & added that it took a great Creator to design such awesome things.
He was horrified “Are you one of those Creationists Idiots?’’ I probably said something like
“Not so much of the Idiot thanks!.... But yes! I am a Creationist”
He spluttered - ‘’I thought you had more brains than that! Scientist don't believe in Creation!"
