It's very simple. How does God reveal Himself to everyone?
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew God, they did not [n]honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures." - Romans 1:18-23
God makes Himself known through His creation. This is a basic revelation showing that He exists and revealing a little about His nature. Revelation through creation does not replace scripture. But it is sufficient for everyone to know God is real... so they are without excuse. Since this is the way God universally reveals Himself, what is Satan going to do?
Creation is one of Satan's primary targets, and he has replaced it with evolution. Belief in evolution fills our need to know our origins, and it takes God out of the picture.
Although atheism might have been logically tenable before Darwin, Darwin made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist" - Richard Dawkins
Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. - Ephesians 6:12
As seen in our videos some of the claims evolutionists make are not that difficult to refute. For example, they claim radiometric dating is accurate, except when it does not give them the dates they want. How can they be so blind to both Biblical and scientific truth?
The god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. - 2 Corinthians 4:4
What do we as Christians need to do? First, don't fall for Satan's deception. Trust God's word. Trust Jesus, not Darwin. Reject evolution and trust God's word. You'll find that God's word is true AND, of course, science that actually seeks truth does not contradict God's word. Why? Because science is the search for knowledge about reality, and God is the one who created that reality.
Second, proclaim the gospel and God's truth. This includes refuting evolution, but not without the gospel. I have seen people come to an intellectual understanding of Biblical creation. But, that's not enough. Without the gospel they are still lost.
What Does the Bible Say About Creation vs. Evolution? (GQ)
Before you get the good news, you need to know the bad news. It's about you. God says:
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. - Romans 3:23
Sin means disobeying God, aka breaking God's law. God is perfect and perfection is required to enter heaven. It's a standard none of us can achieve. We all fall short. For example, compare yourself with just one of the Ten Commandments. Have you ever told a lie?
All liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. - Revelation 21:8. Or what about:
Have you ever taken something that does not belong to you, no matter how small? Have you ever looked at another person with lust? In Matthew 5 Jesus said:
Everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.' Have you done that?
You have broken God's laws. You have sinned. There must be justice, and that means eternity in hell, the lake of fire, the second death. Unless...
Unless there was someone willing to pay that penalty on your behalf. Someone who will take on themselves the consequences you deserve. And there is. There is one person who can and will do that. That person is Jesus Christ. If you trust this is true (believe), and repent (turn away from disobeying God), Jesus' death is applied to your account and you are freed from the penalty of sin to be with God forever.
