While millions across the world would deny this, we have evidence that even those who claim to not believe in biblical creation, they in fact suppress the truth that God has clearly shown to all of us. What are we talking about, lets' begin with Scripture. Romans 1:18-20 says,
"18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and wickedness of those who by their wickedness suppress the truth. 19For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20Ever since the creation of the world his eternal power and divine nature, invisible though they are, have been understood and seen through the things he has made. So they are without excuse;" (NRSV).
Though God's word is pretty straight forward and trustworthy, we can also look at the use of science and the argument against Biblical creation as proof of evidence. Jason Lisle points out in his article that whenever evolutionists use science, "they must borrower the principles of biblical creation". He also points out that in order to argue against biblical creation, one must assume that it is true! Read the article to read how evolutionists, in fact, suppress the truth of biblical creation by practicing science, having ethics, and using sound reasoning.
After reading his article, it's difficult to see how anyone could continue (let alone begin) believing in evolution. If evolution was true: there would be no reason to expect an orderly universe or even comprehend it; any moral code is arbitrary and decision making is out of our control; that laws of logic wouldn't exist since the universe would only be matter in motion – thus we couldn't distinguish between correct and incorrect reasoning. The fact that evolutionists believe in science, rationality, and morality is inconsistent with their professed belief in evolution. When they use science and logic, they reveal that in their hearts, they know God, know that they are attacking his Word, and are suppressing truth of the knowledge of the God of creation.
Some Christians believe that God could have used evolution in creation. The biggest problem with this belief is that they compromise the word of God by integrating impossibility with truth. If one closely examines Scripture, Genesis clearly states that God created the world in six literal days (look at the Hebrew words). If one closely examines evolution, it is clearly humanistic in nature, its claims cannot be substantiated nor observed, and lacks credible evidence. Evolution is a belief, a theory, an idea but it's also fiction that (unfortunately) some Christians have bought into.
The Bible being compromised by infiltrated false teaching isn't new and evolutionism certainly isn't the last. Aristotle taught that every entity remained unchanged at is fundamental core. Eventually, the church incorporated this thought in its understanding of species, so that the animals that exist today existed the same way at creation. But this isn't biblical and if it was true, then lions and tigers couldn't breed – but we know they can – or zebras and donkeys couldn't either, but we know they can too. If we factor in evolution, they would be too distant of "evolved species" to cross-breed. As a result, a Greek concept became Christianized. The truth is that God created the animals according to their kind and gave them the ability to adapt to their environment and so we now have lions and tigers, but they are of the same "kind" (see Genesis). The next time you see a picture of Noah's ark with all the animals huddled within, you'll think twice about they really looked like!
There is a consequence for exchanging truth for falsehood and for disregarding God. Lets' continue reading in Romans 1:21-23,
"21for though they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking and their senseless minds were darkened. 22Claiming to be wise, they became fools; 23and they exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling a mortal human being or birds or four-footed animals or reptiles." (NRSV)
Evolutionists fulfill this Scripture by claiming that biblical creation is inferior to evolution and suppressing the truth of biblical creation that God made clear to them; now for the rest of the consequences, read Romans 1:24-31,
"24Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the degrading of their bodies among themselves, 25because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. 26For this reason God gave them up to degrading passions. Their women exchanged natural intercourse for unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men, giving up natural intercourse with women, were consumed with passion for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in their own persons the due penalty for their error. 28And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind and to things that should not be done. 29They were filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, covetousness, malice. Full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, craftiness, they are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, rebellious toward parents, 31foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32They know God's decree, that those who practice such things deserve to die--yet they not only do them but even applaud others who practice them." (NRSV)
Is it just a coincidence that after America has embraced evolutionism as a false belief taught as fact that now we are faced with the homosexual agenda? It's not and God's word shows what happens when you replace him with another "god" or "religion", such as evolution. And now, homosexuality is being "Christianized". I should note, homosexuality is sin, just as murder, stealing, adultery, and fornication and homosexuals are in need of the Savior just as any one is. I'm not targeting any specific person but I'm illustrating how an extra-biblical concept is being accepted as normalcy.
These slanderous, God-hating, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil are becoming ever increasingly sarcastic, mocking, and scathing in their name-calling of Creationists through newspaper articles, popular blogs, books, and reputable science magazines. And at the same time, they are living out Scripture before our eyes. While we should not react in the same manner, we cannot simply ignore them because these thoughts in writing will influence our society and may influence the believing community. For example, at one time, the term "gay priest" would have been an oxymoron – but in these days churches are embracing the homosexual lifestyle as if it was ordained by God. And if prominent evolutionists like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens call teaching a child about God "child abuse", what is next for the church? All that it would take is someone with similar ideas to publish this in a respectable journal, have a few liberal judges declare that teaching Christianity is child abuse (also outlawing homeschooling), and then this will begin to be taught in the education system. When this happens, it would eventually become culturally normal.
Unfortunately, this infiltration of extra-biblical ideas is not limited to biblical creation but creation is the beginning of knowing God – thus it is crucial. If evolutionists can detract Christians from believing in a young Earth, that God spoke creation into existence, then Jesus Christ would be considered a fraud.
Whenever Christians compromise on the Word of God, an infection occurs and people deviate from the truth. Then what is commonly believed or practiced is no longer the truth. It's hard to imagine but there are professing Christians who believe that God did or could have used evolution in creation. If this were true, then God has not interacted with his creation since creation because miracles would not be possible, and a savior would never have been needed because chemical reactions determine behavior. As a result of compromise, we are faced with God's wrath because we, as a people, deserve it.
We are without excuse for we know the truth. We must be careful to use God's word as our plumb-line, as our standard for truth for everything, including studying the world around us. And we must not pass judgment on others for we at one time were rebellious and occasionally sin – for if we don't we will not escape God's judgment. However, if we pursue God's glory, honor, and immorality will receive eternal life and escape God's wrath – for we were not appointed for wrath (1 Thess. 5:9).
God loves you and me. He desires that we live in truth.
