9/5/2021 The Origin of Species According to God ~Rev. Bernie Chung

At the end of his book "The Origin of Species", Darwin said that life may have formed by the living breath of the Creator. However, after some evolutionists have committed to believe in the evolutionary theory, they tend to fill in any gaps that Darwin may have left. They would reinforce their arguments by interjecting with other naturalistic theories. Strictly speaking, evolution is a naturalistic philosophy, and Darwin’s theory on the origins of species is not science.


Evolutionists generally believe that about 4 billion years ago, the universe began with the "Big Bang", and the earth was formed naturally under probabilistically optimum conditions. Through a series of chemical reactions combined with electrical energy from lightning, certain kind of lives were formed. However, this theory does not explain how or why lightnings were generated, and thus denies life was created. Evolutionists also advocate the possibility of life forming in the ocean, which they called "prebiotic soup". They believe that life just reproduces itself in a certain way, and this process continues until a cell is finally produced. It is interesting to note that some evolutionists believe the length of time required for the first life form to become a cell is the same as a single cell to become a human form. After hundreds of millions of years of reproduction and evolution, single cells eventually developed into simple plants and animals. Then came fish, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals. Among mammals there were monkeys, apes, and finally humans. But Genesis 1:25 says: “God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.”


Besides the complex fossil and cell theories associated with evolution, the “Big Bang” theory is most problematic. If indeed everything started with the "Big Bang", where did the matter of the “Big Bang” come from? If the “Big Bang” started the formation of the universe, then what was going on before the “Big Bang”?


Romans 1:18-20 says: “The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse” (Romans 1:20 NIV).


Dear Lord, thank you for letting us know your eternal power and divinity, and your grace and mercy that have manifested in our hearts. Amen!

我們在逆境中處事態度和反應,正是測試我們對神的認識、信心和忠心。在順境中,享受美好的生活,一切順利,身體健康,感謝神是容易的,服事神是容易的,信靠神是容易的。相反地,苦難在眼前,我們的信心會動搖,憂慮境況會惡化,感到筋疲力盡。我們會怎樣回應這境況?我們的回應正是反映我們對神的認識、敬畏和忠心。 從但以利書三章一至十八節,尼布甲尼撒王命令民眾俯伏敬拜金像,沙得拉、米煞和亞伯尼歌對尼佈甲尼撒王的回應,

假若有人控訴我們奪取了神之物時,很多人也會反問:「我們在何事上奪取了神之物?」因為這確實是一個很嚴重的指控!就如瑪拉基書中的以色列人也同樣發出了這個問題。耶和華便說:「就是在你們在當納的十分之一和當獻的供物上。」 今天的信徒可能會反駁,我們當然有十分之一的奉獻,怎麼會是奪取呢?而我亦相信很多信徒有不止十分之一的奉獻。但是神的家是不是單指我們在金錢上的奉獻呢?現今除了金錢上的十分之一外,神更要求我們

從哥林多前書 13章1-13 節中,我們才得知什麼是愛,什麼並不算是愛。如果這聽起來好像很耳熟能詳,皆因這段文字經常在基督教婚禮裡被人引用。非基督徒聽到第一至第三節這些跟行為和異能有關的描述時可能會覺得很怪。然而沒有了愛,這一切都是無用和毫無價值的。這並非是個什麼新鮮概念,在路加福音 10章17-20 節中記載,當七十二個門徒回到耶穌身邊,門徒們對耶穌之名的力量與及對他們能以施行神蹟之事而感到驚愕
