Indestructible Foundations: Choosing God
Josh. 24:15
Reality
The Universe is beyond man’s control.
He did not make it.He cannot duplicate its
origin.It is here. For every effect,
there is a cause.
Historically, man hasdemonstrated an
innate need to worship a god greater than
himself.
Rom. 1:20-23
• Nature teaches us that a supreme designer exists. It is reasonable. (vs. 23)
• Many, however, abandoned the true God and made their own. (vs.22-23)

Secular Humanism
• The god of Knowledge• Man-centered
Evolutionary Theory Objections
• Random mutations generally cause harm to organisms and do not build complexity.
• Random and undirected processes do not seem capable of producing cellular complexity.
• The fossil record lacks “missing links.”• Chemical origin of life remains an unsolved
mystery.
The Faith of the Humanist
• Life does not come from non-life. – Cannot be observed, tested, measured or
duplicated, yet is believed. = FAITH• Every effect must have a cause. – Cannot observe, test, measure, or duplicate
anything resembling a “Big Bang” = FAITH• Matter cannot be created or destroyed only
changed in form.– Cannot create anything like a super density unit
= FAITH
The False “Evidence”
• The Miller-Urey Experiment to explain the origin of life.
• Ernst Haeckel’s 19th century embryo drawings• Peppered Moths studies to “prove” natural
selection. • “Darwin’s finches”
The Mystery Builder
• Earth is round. Prov. 8:27; Isa. 40:22• Earth is not supported. Job 26:7• Stars are innumerable. Jer. 33:22; Heb. 11:12• Ocean currents. Psm. 8:8• Life is in the blood. Lev. 17:11
