PURPOSE

The purposes of this brief document are primarily two: (a) Confirm, utilizing the scientific proof offered by the supporters of the Theory of Evolution, the basic tenets of the Theory of Creation; and (b) Show the consequences of when man persists in his denial of God – he keeps making the same mistakes without learning anything from previous errors regardless of how painful the consequences were.

We will do this in broad brush strokes – not trying to explain every apparent inconsistency in the Holy Scriptures and in scientific research results, nor attempting to clarify every mystery within the Holy Scriptures. That would be presumptuous and would defeat the purpose of this document.


INTRODUCTION

If you ask a room full of individuals what came first, the chicken or the egg, the answers will pour in as a torrent as everyone gives his/her opinion as the “correct” answer. Most likely, few stopped to think about the issue before speaking. And most, without a doubt, spoke without any real knowledge about the subject at hand.

The same is true with both the Creation and Evolution theorists. Should they be asked which theory is correct, they will respond with the same passion – before even looking at the very facts they wield as proofs.


DETAILS

Let us look at the scientific facts utilized by the Big Bang proponents, using language accessible to all:


Let us now look at the equivalent Biblical information (*) utilized by most Creationist proponents using accessible language:


With their Scientific basis,


With their Biblical basis,


Now, this difference could possibly be smoothed over by a fast talking fundamentalist preacher. The real problem comes when we read:


By whom is Cain afraid of being killed? According to our literal population census there are only three individuals in the world so far: Adam, Eve and Cain. As if this situation were not enough, we must ask: Where did Cain get that wife? etc.

By this time the Creationists and Evolutionists are most likely engaged in a bitter debate ignoring the very fact that Evolutionists have scientifically proven that the core of the Creationist Theory is really true:


Now, what one wants to call that Creator is up to the individual, the language spoken and the individual cultural traditions.

Regarding “what one wants to call that Creator is up to the individual, the language spoken and cultural traditions”...

CONCLUSION

We do not mean that we should not take some parts of the Holy Scriptures literally; some of it must be taken exactly as written. Some of the Holy Scriptures is written in an allegorical fashion to express to the man of that time something that he could not possibly comprehend otherwise.

Imagine someone reading in the Holy Scriptures the following passage one hundred years ago:


Followed by:


However, even the earliest man could understand “Thou shalt not kill” and “Thou shalt not commit adultery”. Furthermore, after Jesus resurrected the decomposing corpse of His friend Lazarus, people could then comprehend the concept of He Himself being resurrected by the same power Lazarus was resurrected – God, The Father.

We have expanded the discussion about of Biblical literalism in a two part document. (3)


EPILOGUE

As the reader may readily see, evil has been (and continues to be) the only winner of this and similar arguments.

miguel de Portugal made his choice, through the Grace of God and not by any merit of his own, in 1985 (4)? What is your choice going to be? More killing, plundering and pillaging? Or, more loving God above all and your neighbors as yourself?

When you make your choice keep in mind that God will be more lenient (5) with those who kill, plunder and pillage out of ignorance (6) than with those who use His Most Holy Name to engage in such satanic behavior – it does not matter which Pope (7), King, President (8) or equivalent may have approved (or will approve) of it. The word of man does not supersede the confirmed Word of God.

We confirm such conclusion as you will see in Part 2 of this document and in in the seventh document of this series (9).
