But the books are written from materialistic standpoint by people who believe there is no God. &nbsp;I mean, let&rsquo;s face it, if there is a God, He can create. John 1:3&nbsp;says, &ldquo;All things were made by him, and without him was not anything made that was made.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>We are going to look at this subject and ask, &ldquo;Is evolution a fact or a theory?&rdquo; Now for evolution to take place, you would have to have a transmutation of a species, and that has never been proven. The theory of evolution was invented out of the imagination of a man. In contrast, the Bible explains the origin of life. &nbsp;God says He created. Those who did not accept God&#39;s Word sought some other explanation. You see, it either happened by creation or evolution.</p>

<p>So, are we to believe that this species has not evolved at all in 80 million years!&nbsp; Or is it more likely, since everyone agrees it really is a fish, that God created it and it is not a transitional form at all.&nbsp; Maybe, just maybe, it was created perfectly suited, even with its &ldquo;half fins, half limbs&rdquo; for its own unique environment; for if it was a transitional form, with half limbs, half fins, it should be at a competitive disadvantage and lose its battle in the &ldquo;survival of the fittest&rdquo;.</p>

<p>Their own theory goes against the second law of thermodynamics which says that order tends to go in one direction: to disorder.&nbsp; This is also known as entropy.</p>

Now this is true, this is really true, front page.</p>

<p>The guys that worked with me, they thought they would have some fun so they put it up on the bulletin board because they knew I was a creationist.&nbsp; So they put this article up and they circled it and made sure I saw it. &nbsp;I said, &ldquo;Man, they did not cross a dog and a cat and get a dat.&rdquo; But they said, &ldquo;It says it right here in the paper and it even has a picture. &nbsp;But I said, &ldquo;They didn&rsquo;t do it.&rdquo; What do you mean they didn&#39;t do it? I just said, &ldquo;They didn&rsquo;t do it, they can&#39;t do it.&rdquo; But it says they did it. I said, &ldquo;If they could cross a dog and a cat, they would have done it a long time before now, they didn&#39;t do it.&rdquo;</p>

<p>The next day a retraction came out and of course that was on the back page. It turns out this guy did it as a joke; it was really just an ugly dog. He did it as a joke and it went worldwide because they are so hungry to find proof of something that never happened. So I put up the little retraction and circled it, and put lines all to it, and had all of them look at it. You see a dog and a cat have a different number of chromosomes and you aren&#39;t going to cross a dog and a cat.</p>

Squirmy maggots crawling everywhere; stagnant ponds becoming large housing developments for the little biting buggers. With no birds or other predators around to control the population, the earth would soon become a swarming, disgusting mass of insects.</p>

<p>There is a balance to nature, and if you take an honest look at the earth around you it becomes very apparent.&nbsp; Trees and other green plants give off oxygen and take in carbon dioxide, while humans and animals give off carbon dioxide and take in oxygen.&nbsp; Evolutionists, however, would have you to believe that plants evolved long before animals came upon the earth.&nbsp; Without man or animals to replenish the required CO<sup>2</sup>, the trees and plants would soon die out; after all, survival of the fittest, right? The balance that God gave to nature is just one more proof that He did create the world and everything in it Genesis 1; an intelligent design demands an intelligent designer&nbsp;Psalm 139:14.</p>

There are hundreds of street intersections, traffic signals that have to be synchronized for those intersections, electric cable run to those signals, power grids to supply the power, and, well&hellip;you begin to see just how complex a major city is.&nbsp; But if you wanted to duplicate that city, you would have to start from scratch and build from the ground up; you couldn&rsquo;t just cut the city in half. If you did that, you would have two halves of a city.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But the most complex city is nowhere near as complex as a single cell. A simple cell can split, and you have a new cell with all of the exact same information contained in the original cell.&nbsp; Man, in all his greatness, cannot come close to producing something of that complexity.&nbsp; So, in order to explain the one true God away, the &ldquo;scientists&rdquo; turn to their god and say, &ldquo;Given enough time, anything can happen&rdquo;.</p>
