Okay, now sit down now, boys and girls - it's story time! Shhhh.... Once upon a time, billions of years ago, there was nothing. Suddenly, magically, the nothing exploded into something. That something is called hydrogen. Can you say "hydrogen?" I knew you could. This hydrogen eventually cooled down enough to condense into solid rock. It was magic rock. Inert and lifeless, but still magical. And then, magically, water formed in the sky above the rock. The waters rained on the rock for, oh, let's say billions of years. Some of the rock broke down into minerals, and these minerals washed into a pool of water.

Then one day some of these minerals magically formed into a kind of goo in the pool of water. Can you say "goo?" I knew you could. Well do you know what happened then? That's right! The goo magically became ALIVE. So anyway, this bit of magic goo magically found something to eat. Then, magically, it found another bit of magic goo to marry, and they had a whole bunch of magical little goos. Eventually - millions of years later - some of this goo grew up into all the plants and animals in the world around us. If it's alive, it came from that first bit of magic goo! Well, more time went on. Finally some of this goo magically evolved - can you say "evolved?" I knew you could - some of this goo magically evolved upwards and upwards, growing ever more advanced, bigger, stronger, smarter, until it became a kind of magical hairless ape with thumbs.

And do you know who those apes are? That's right! They're YOU and ME! We are the magic rock apes! And you know what else? Someday we'll evolve enough that we'll become the God we all know doesn't exist. Now take a nap.

If you actually believe this well.......... Hmmm no more to say.

Young earth critics like Hugh Ross say there was death before Adam sinned because plants died in order for Adam to eat.

Before we decide if there was death before sin we need to define what life is. Plants have neither the "breath of life" nor blood so they cannot "die" in the same sense that man and animals die. God said that He gave plants to man and animals to eat.

Gen 1:29 "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so."
Gen 3:18 "and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;"

After the flood God added animals to man's diet as seen in:

Gen 9:3 "Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat."

Notice the "life" is in the blood, which plants do not have. This is seen again in

Lev. 17:11 "For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls:".

God did not accept Cain's offer of plants while He did accept Abel's offering of a lamb in

Gen 4:3 "And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect."

This is where the expression "you can't get blood out of a turnip" comes from. Plants are said to wither, fade, be blasted but not die in the same way man dies.

II Kings 19:26 "they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the house tops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up."
Job 8:12 "it withereth before any other herb."
Ps 37:2 "For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb."
Ps. 104:14 "He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;"

No life forms come forth out of the earth. Animals always come from parents of the same kind.

Is. 42:15 "I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs;"
Jer. 12:4 "and the herbs of every field wither,"

There are four fundamental questions that everyone answers to to determin there concept of how they view the world. Every religion on earth trys to answer these -

1. Who am I (and what am i worth?)
2. Where did I come from?
3. Why am I here?
4. Where am i going when I die?

How you answer these is totally determined by your world view..
some people look at the world and say ( Its amazing A 'Big Bang' made this world from Nothing ) thats the Huminist world view based on evolution.
Other people look ant the world view and say (there is an incredible design, there must be a smart designer) Thats the creationist world view based on Creation.
These two world views are at war with each other, Somebody Has to be wrong ??
Back to the questions in an evolutionist point of view -
1. Who am I (and what am i worth?)
If evolution is true, your nothing important. your just a piece of protoplasm that washed up on the beach.
2. Where did I come from?
If evolution is true, you came from a cosmic blurp about 20 billion years ago.
3. Why am I here?
If evolution is true, you have no purpose to life so you might as well have fun. If it feels good Do it.
4. Where am i going when I die?
If evolution is true, your going to the grave to get recycled into a worm or a plant.

The Bible says " In the beginning, GOD created the heaven and the earth." Gen 1.1
If thats true, it puts a whole different set of answers to these questions.

Last thought - The universe.
two silibals 1. Uni - which means Single
2. Verse - which means a spoken sentance.
We live in a "Single Spoken Sentance" ???? Lost -
In Genesis chapter 1 you will read that, " And GOD said......" A Single Spoken Sentance..
