Evolution vs. Creation
Introduction:
For 150 years, society has bought into the “lie” that evolution is a fact. The public at-large believes evolution is the only valid explanation for the creation of earth. Evolution is a basic belief of humanism. Evolutionists reject the Bible as the inspired, inerrant, infallible, and authoritative word of God.
