Biblical Creation vs. Naturalistic Evolution

G. Thomas Sharp • August 30, 2016

      CTF has ministered over the last 27 years in many states of our nation and in many countries outside our borders, to many different church persuasions, and to many different educational venues.  The one valuable lesson that I have learned from this vast experience and exposure is that the primary point of conflict between Biblical Creation and naturalistic evolution resides in two salient differences: (1.) the age of the universe, or the literal, historical legitimacy of Genesis 1; and (2.) the historical reality that a worldwide deluge occurred about 4400 years ago, or a divinely sent global judgment against sin. All other aspects of this debate are moot, and are simply an outgrowth from these two main points.

     Built into this desperate and age-long conflict (and, by the way, the word “conflict” is just another way to express the true nature of Genesis 3:15 “enmity”), are several maximizing demonic ingredients, such things as the delusion of multiculturalism, the enigmatic and continual interference caused by historical and scientific revisionism, the predominance of a mind-controlling, indoctrinating, state funded and obligatory educational system—all giving rise to a formidable declension of Biblical authority in the culture. All of this is the fruit of naturalistic evolutionism, which is antichrist in purpose!

     It is not about science (and never has been), but science has been prostituted over the past 150 years to vindicate and qualify a deliberate anti-Biblical worldview for the primary purpose of defeating the intent of the Biblical God. And the most influential and effective method Satan saw at his disposal was to obliterate the authority of the Bible by attacking the Genesis record.

     Remember, what UNESCO Director, Julian Huxley (the grandson of Thomas H. Huxley, also called Darwin’s bulldog), said: “The first point to make about Darwin’s theory is that it is no longer a theory, but a fact… Darwinism removed the whole idea of God as the creator of organisms from the sphere of rational discussion…I think we can dismiss entirely all ideas of a supernatural overriding mind being responsible for the evolutionary process.” (Huxley, Issues in Evolution, edited by Sol Tax, 1960)

    So to remove supernaturalism from the discussion, the devil first attacked Biblical chronology, and this seems so reasonable because evolutionary arguments from starlight and the earth’s stratigraphical record, just to name two of the seemingly irrefutable naturalistic positions, appear to demolish the Biblical position.

    And then he moved on to the Biblical flood. The observed multiple layers of strata on the surface of the earth gave rise to a notion called the “geological column” (even though there is no place on the earth’s surface where this so-called column can be observed complete). This is probably the most used of evolution’s so-called proofs. Among them is the idea that the evolutionary transition of life can be traced bottom-to-top throughout the entire column (which totally disregards the genetic code), and this glaring assumption shows up everywhere in the modern culture (and there are many other ramifications to this argument, as well).  But the interpretation of the rock record to be hundreds of millions of years old provides a suitable smoke screen in which are hid multiple beguiling elements of evolution.

     The most common is the idea that dinosaurs lived and died millions of years before man, about 64 million years ago to be exact, spilling the blood of air-breathing life, which of course, is a blatant  contradiction of Romans 5:12. Thanks for your continued prayer and support.

Baby Jesus Figurine
By Matt Miles December 18, 2025
Here we are again, just a few days before Christmas. It seems the old adage, “The older you get the faster time flies,” is so true. There is not a year that passes when we look back and think, “Wow, this year took forever!” History is passing by and we look forward to the new year as we continue to focus on our eternal destiny. Our theme this year has been, HISTORY & DESTINY. Christmas is a great time to reflect on these two realities. Everyone has “Christmas history”, as I term it - those moments from past Christmases that are remembered year after year. Maybe it’s a great family gathering or Christmas activity that has become a beloved tradition. All of those moments are formed by previous years’ experiences. Sometimes this season can be tough, as we may have that memory of a loved one that has passed or other difficulties that we may be facing. Christmas history is always impactful, be it good or bad. This makes me reflect on the first Christmas. For Mary and Joseph, there was no previous history like that moment, per se. Yet, the history of the prior four thousand years had been preparing for the manger, the moment in history that our Savior would be born and begin Christmas history for all of us. Whether it is acknowledged or not, without Jesus’ birth in history, none of this season happens. Each and every Christmas our desire is to make those “Christmas history” memories for our family. Our desire is to impact the future of our family, our destiny. Often our efforts fall short or are interrupted by things out of our control. In those moments, so much stress can come from our efforts not going as planned. Sometimes it ends up ruining the whole season, especially if our focus has not been on the simple fact that He was born to bring peace, not stress. Let us not forget that it didn’t start the way Mary and Joseph had planned, with no room in the inn. But the Lord provided a place for them to rest and deliver the baby. Immanuel, God with us, is the bell ringing for all eternity that started that first Christmas. Our eternal destiny hinges on whether we acknowledge who He is everyday, not just in this season. Yet, this season is most assuredly a great time to emphasize His gift of life for all eternity. Our Creator became as one of His image bearers in that stable under imperfect conditions. He joined HISTORY and DESTINY that moment in time. The years of history that prepared the world for the child born that first Christmas would give us hope for all eternity. Jesus is the marker for all history. Because of that moment in time, our life can have peace for eternity through Him. May we all focus on the culmination of HISTORY & DESTINY during our family Christmas celebrations this year. Our history is written but our destiny is hope in Jesus Christ, our Creator and Savior. Blessings this season to you and your family from all of us here at Creation Truth Foundation!
