God Created Man
When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. He created them male & female and blessed them. And … he called them “man”. Genesis 5:1,2

Don’t the fossils show a clear pattern of men evolving from apes?


The fossils show no such thing. The only place you find a line of creatures gradually changing from an ape to a man is in pictures in books, not in any physical evidence. In fact, all of the so-called “links” between apes and men have been proven to be either hoaxes or misinterpreted evidence. For example:

*Neanderthal man was identical to modern humans but with a bad case of rickets

*Ramapithecus was later found to be no more than an extinct ape, not a link.

*Nebraska man was nothing more than a tooth that was later found to have come from a pig.

*Java man is now regarded as completely human.

*Australopithecus africanus is now considered to be completely ape-like.

*Peking man has been reclassified as completely human.

Similarities between men and apes does not prove evolution. To illustrate: Compare the similarities between a Porsche and a Volkswagen. Why do these cars have so many similarities? Because they were made by the same designer. Similarity in design points to one Designer, God, as opposed to many designers.

Raising a Modern Day Knight



Knights embodied a well-defined set of ideals. Many knights sincerely adhered to and embraced a moral code of honor. They pledged themselves to their lord, their kind, and their God.

One historian writes:

Honor was the shrine at which the knight worshipped: it implied renown, good conduct, and the world’s approval. The “word of honor” was the most solemn oath the knight knew, and this alone became the reason for the most extravagant exploits.”

Raising a Modern Day Knight


Three critical points on how to help your son go into manhood:
1. Deliver to your son a clear, inspiring, biblically grounded definition of manhood.
2. Give your son a directional process in order to embrace the manhood that is defined.
3. Commemorate your son’s progress with a ceremony.

We're studying genesis. This week - God Created Birds & Animals



Questions to ponder:

Don't fossils prove that dinosaurs lived millions of years before man did?



Evidence of humans and dinosaurs living together has been found in the fossil record. For instance, human and dinosaur footprints have been found together in many places in the world. This matches the biblical account which states that "all the creatures that move along the ground" were created on Day 6, the same day that God created man.



Did birds evolve from dinosaurs?

This theory is receiving tremendous support from some scientists and science magazines, but not all evolutionists agree with it. Here are some of the problems:

Scales and feathers are made of different material. And what good are scales that are in the midst of evolving? They are no use for protection and cannot yet help the animal to fly. If such a mutation took place, the animal would not live long.

Birds have no bladder

Birds have hollow bones

Birds have a much stronger heart that beats at a much faster rate.
