Our view of origin
Our View of Origins
- We support a view of a literal supernatural creation by God and a world-wide
flood as recorded by Moses and attested to by Jesus Christ.
- We support a view that the six days of creation are literal 24 hour
days as opposed to long or indeterminate periods of time.
- We support a view that nature and living organisms show overwhelming
evidence for design as opposed to the product of natural processes found
in matter and energy.
- Because of the continuing accumulation of scientific data supporting
a creation model and contradicting the evolution model, we maintain that
creation is at least as scientific and no more religious than is evolution.
We further maintain that an evaluation of known scientific facts in the
light of a creation model is more scientific and more plausible than any
such evolutionary evaluation.
- We define creation and evolution as:
CREATION (Special Theory of) is the postulate that a few thousand
years ago the universe, the solar system, the earth and all basic plant
and animal types were brought into existence by special creative processes
that are not operative today. The biological variation that has occurred
since the original creation has been restricted within the limits of each
created kind.
EVOLUTION (General Theory of) is the postulate that the universe,
the solar system, the earth and all forms of life have come into existence
through slow, naturalistic, spontaneous processes similar to those processes
which can be observed today. All living things are said to have arisen
from a single source which itself arose from inorganic matter.
