God spoke by the mouth of His
holy prophets
Since The World Began
By Henry M. Morris, Ph.D.
Evidence for Creation
“As He spake by the mouth of His holy prophets, which have been
since the world began” (Luke 1:70).
According
to the theory of evolution as taught in most schools and colleges today, the
world began about 18 billion years ago in a “Big Bang” when the cosmos evolved
into existence out of nothing.
The sun and planets evolved out of cosmic dust
about five billion years ago, life evolved from chemicals about four billion
years ago, and human life perhaps a million years ago.
But this is not what God’s word says!
According to the priest Zacharias, as in our
text, God has been speaking through His prophets ever since the world began -
not beginning 18 billion years after it began.
Similarly Peter, in his temple sermon, preached that God had promised
someday to restore all things, “which God hath spoken by the mouth
of all His holy prophets since the world began” (Acts 3:21).
The restoration of all things obviously was
meant to refer to conditions in Eden, not to the primeval cosmic dust cloud of
the evolutionists.
The Lord Jesus Christ also taught that man has been here since the
world began.
Referring to the creation of Adam and Eve, and quoting Genesis 1:27,
He said: “But from the beginning of the creation God made them male
and female” (Mark 10:6).
Adam and Eve were not created 18 billion years after the beginning of
the creation, but just six days after the beginning in a “very good” world.
It is dangerously close to mocking God for
modern Christian teachers to urge people to accept the Big Bang theory of
cosmic evolution and the geologic ages’ framework of organic evolution.
Men and women were given dominion over the earth
when the world first began, and God has been promising His coming Redeemer
through His prophets ever since, just as the Bible says.
