Praise the Lord “We Made it!”
We successfully completed the 2010 Creation Evidence Expo with a renewed spirit and a new resolve to go on the offensive against those who have erroneously tried to define our (Creation Evidence Expo) identity. YES WE ARE AT WAR! On September 19, 2010 Pastor Boyd declared war on evolution and all of its humanist supporters. We need to widen the battle in order to reach as many people as we can so that we can achieve our goal of burying the forces behind evolution.
This year we are taking our show on the road. We would like to bring the Expo to your church with a speaker who will teach your congregation about the evidence of God’s creation of the universe. This will allow your congregation to ask questions about creation and get a response without ridicule or denigration for questioning that which is presented. Check out the website for further details or contact me or pastor Boyd for further details at (creationevidenceexpo.org).
Our Presenter will be Christopher Johnson, (Chris) a native of Waldron, Indiana. He is the Director of Creation Liberty, an author and an evangelist; he travels and speaks on creation, evolution and dinosaurs. After studying creation for many years Chris began writing articles and posting them online. Creation Liberty (creationliberty.org) hosts all of his articles and produces videos to stimulate education. Creation Liberty was started in 2009, in an effort to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ via the creation message. We believe that Chris is a valuable asset to the Creation Evidence Expo Team.
Yes, we are at war with the secular community!
` The secular community has tried to define who we are as Christians; they have portrayed us as religious zealots who are trying to force our religious beliefs on the world. They say that our religious beliefs are merely legends, myths, and theories that are not relevant to today’s society. The sad part is that the Christian community has allowed them to create this false persona or identity with virtually no objection to this false characterization or definition of who we are and what we stand for.
Creation Evidence Expo is not trying to force our beliefs on anyone, but we have a calling to tell the world about God and His plan for humanity. We will tell the world through the evidence that science, not theory, reveals in the fossil record, through scientific empirical data, verified through archaeological and paleontological evidence, and is confirmed through historical evidence and references. We will witness to the world that God created us and has a plan for us; we are not demanding that persons accept the evidence, because each person has been given the right to choose what he or she does or does not believe. The choice must be made voluntarily out of love and repentance, not by force or coercion. More about this later.
The 2010 Creation Evidence Expo was a tremendous success. Our Presenters were magnificent and the information they presented was exciting and important for every person to know.
To show you how meaningful it was there was a young girl who accepted Christ as her Savior during our field trips with the private schools, charter schools and home schools. She was attending one of the private Christian Schools, and her parents were raising her as an atheist. They told her that they didn’t believe in creation; but after she saw the evidence of creation versus the evidence for evolution she became convinced that there is a God, and that He has a plan for her. There was no coercion, brow beating, no preaching, no threats, and no lies; just the evidence that there is intelligence and wisdom behind our existence here on earth.
This goes to show that when we have an open mind with no preconceived conclusions and we look at the evidence of creation, and evaluate the empirical data while using our God given ability to use critical analysis to evaluate the information before us, we can’t help but come to the conclusion that there is an intelligent Creator who started it all.
I looked back on Dr. John Whitcomb’s lecture: “ Is There Life on Other Planets?” as he walked through the Scriptures to show what the Word of God says about the creation of the universe, one can’t help but understand that God created us for Himself. All other theories are just that, theories. They have no evidence to prove any part of their theory, but we have God’s Word to guide us to the truth of His creation of the universe. We can use critical analysis to evaluate the information and then come to a conclusion that is the sum of the evidence that we have before us.
Look at the Book of Job 26:7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. Isn’t this an accurate description of how the earth and the universe exist today in space? The earth was stretched out over nothing, and held there with nothing but the power of God to support it. This is a description of the earth as viewed from outer space some 3000 years before the first satellite was invented. How could man know this without Divine intervention?
How about Heb. 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. This is an accurate description of the molecular structure of all matter and its atomic structure. Everything is made of tiny atoms that can’t be seen with the naked eye, yet this description was given some 2000 years before the invention of the electron microscope. How could someone know this without Divine intervention? Job 26:8-10 describes 25 mg zoloft very accurately how the cycle of rain and water evaporation works here on earth, again thousands of years before the knowledge of the meteorologist of today.
We are fighting an enemy that would rather have us believe in a lie that has no evidence whatsoever of its validity in order to create a society where people can do what they want without any moral authority to restrict them in any way.
Acts 17:24-26 24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25 Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
Two different scientific studies in Newsweek magazine Jan 11, 1988, on the DNA of human beings prove that, every man and woman on the earth is a descendent of one man and one woman who probably lived in northern Africa, providing another piece of evidence that points to a single event creation.
Religious Humanism states “. We assume that humanism will take the path of social and mental hygiene and discourage sentimental and unreal hopes and wishful thinking.”
Humanists want to abolish faith and hope in God with the desire that those who find themselves in a hopeless condition will cleanse themselves from this notion of being accountable to a supreme being, God!
People need to know that this is a war for the souls of humanity and it must be fought on the battlefield of truth, not just faith. Faith is something that we rely on when we have nothing else to turn to. I ask you why should we rely only on faith when we have evidence to prove why and what we believe in? If anything, the evidence should bolster our faith. After all, we are trying to convert people who don’t share our faith. When we go to them with our faith and hope with nothing to support it, they will reject our position because we haven’t supported it with any evidence.
Don’t close your eyes and say there is light, open your eyes and prove it!
“Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him”.
We have to restore the foundation of our faith, the truth, and the evidence that there is a God, and that He created us. Evolution is a lie.
We need to marshal our troops and call them to arms in preparation to face an enemy that is standing on a lie (evolution), and the truth is not in them.
We need to look to see where our weaknesses are and strengthen those areas first. Where is the biggest area of weakness in our battle?
It’s in the apathy of the church. It’s in the church that doesn’t see the relevance of the war on evolution. It’s in the church that compromises the Bible, and dilutes the truth for the sake of peace in the church. It’s also in our failure as Christians to take a stand against abortion and our failure as Christians to take a stand for family values, for marriage between a man and a woman, and the facts that support a six day creation by God. These are the true battlefields that we face today. We must stand for truth and not fall for anything that “comes down the pike.”
We can only win this war when we attack our enemy with the truth that is supported by evidence. Unlike our enemies we are not trying to destroy them, or force them to take up our beliefs, we want to convert them voluntarily to the truth, not a lie. Unlike our enemies we have evidence to prove that there is a God. Even the laws of probabilities say the probability that if there isn’t a Creator to the universe is one in a number with over 200 zeros behind it. In other words it is not possible for the universe or man to exist without a creator. This statistic was presented by Dr. John Heffner, a math professor from Dallas, Texas on the TBN program, “Creation in the 21st Century,” October 8, 2010, hosted by Dr. Carl Baugh.
We need ground troops that will help in this war by taking out a family membership to CEE for $50.00 per year. When we go to the state legislators we will have your name as a supporter of this cause. Remember, politicians listen to two things, votes and money. If we can show them that we have your financial support for the Creation Evidence Expo and that you are a registered voter, they will listen to us. The more supporters we have the more political influence we have.
Please go to our website: creationevidenceexpo.org and take out a family membership. Those who do so will receive two tickets to the ”Evening With the Stars” banquet next year and have an opportunity to meet our Presenters.
We are in a serious conflict with the forces of humanism! This is a war that we can’t afford to lose. We need at least 700 to 1000 families to join us in this battle and we ask you, WILL YOU HELP US TELL THE WORLD THE TRUTH, THAT GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH? If you believe what you have read, won’t you join us in this war against evolution?
May God bless and keep you in His loving arms, until we meet again.
