Not long ago evolutionists scoffed at the very first words of the Bible which state that "In the beginning God created." They, like Greek philosophers centuries ago, thought that matter had always existed and so the universe had no beginning.
But with the age of atomic energy it became known that some elements of the give off radioactivity and that if matter had always existed the process of radioactive decay would have been completed long ago. But of course, it is still going on.
One group of scientists said: "It is interesting to note that by declaring the universe had a beginning, the Bible anticipated modern science by some thousands of years." Recent Theories of the Origin and Nature of the Universe, W. E. Filmer , p. 32. (Booklet issued on 919th Ordinary General Meeting of the Victoria Institute at the Caxton Hall, Westminster, England, December 7, 1953.)
Aristotle wrote: "All dry bodies which become damp, and all damp bodies which are dried, engender animal life." Virgil believed that bees were sometimes produced from the decaying internal organs of cattle. A famous physician in the reign of Louis XIV of France wrote: "The smells which arise from the bottom of morasses produce frogs, slugs, leeches, grasses, and other things." But then came Louis Pasteur.
During the last century evolutionists believed that different forms of life came about by slowly changing into another. Giraffes got long necks by stretching higher and higher for leaves, people near the equator got tanned and then passed it on to their children. Then came Mendel and his discoveries on heridity. The orderly law of "acording to its kind" of the Genesis account.
Evidence can be subjective, wrong; but the Bible? Truth. From the start. Interesting.
