The chart shows that evolution can never be harmonized with the Bible. Complete the Biblical truth to the
evolutionary wrong guess:
Evolution Says….
The universe came into existence by natural pro-
cesses (chance).
Evolution says the universe as we know it took bil-
lions of years to evolve.
Evolution says the first life form began from non-
living matter by accident.
Evolution says all current kinds of living things came
from previous different kinds, all the way back
to one (or a few) original life form(s).
Evolution says man is just an advanced animal.
Evolution says man evolved from previously exist-
ing animals.
Evolution says woman evolved from previously ex-
isting animals.
Evolutionary belief in the gradual development of
new kinds of life would make it impossible to
determine who was the first man and woman.
Evolution claims that man gradually evolved
speech, and intelligence.
Evolution says man is wholly material like the ani-
mals from which he evolved. This implies that
man, like the animals, has no life after death.
Evolution says that death was occurring throughout
man’s development and was a necessary part
of the process.
Evolution implies new kinds of living things are (or
could be) still developing.
Evolution says man is the pinnacle of evolution, but
may still be evolving.
Evolution implies there is no real purpose in life, but
life just exists as a result of a series of acci-
dents in nature.
Evolution implies man is the greatest being in exist-
ence and so must follow his own wisdom in de-
ciding right from wrong.
Evolution says, as man continues to evolve, he will
develop for himself new ways to solve his own
problems.

Memory Work:

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.

What does this mean?

I believe that God created me and all that exists, and that he gave me my body and soul, eyes, ears and all my members,
my mind and all my abilities.
And I believe that God still preserves me by richly and daily providing clothing and shoes, food and drink, property and
home, spouse and children, land, cattle and all I own, and all I need to keep my body and life. God also preserves me by
defending me against all danger, guarding and protecting me from all evil.

All this God does only because he is my good and merciful Father in heaven, and not because I have earned or deserved
it.
For all this I ought to thank and praise, to serve and obey him.
This is most certainly true.
