"Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me, if you understand." (Job 38:4) KJV"The lot is cast into your lap, but the whole decision is with the Lord."(Proverb 16:33) KJV"By faith we understand that the worlds were formed by the word of God, so that things that are seen were not made by things that appear." (Hebrews 11:3) KJV"For his invisible things from the creation of the world are plainly seen, being understood of the things made, even his eternal power and deity: so that they are without excuse." (Romans 1:20) KJV Why has evolution been so widely accepted and why has the Bible been viewed with such hostility? What has changed? Just a few generations ago, laws prevented the teaching of the theory of evolution in several regions of the United States. The Bible was commonly accepted as a true and reliable account of our origins. But now almost the opposite is true. The Bible is banned from American school classrooms and serious discussion of the biblical view of the creation of our universe and our human origins is prohibited. Many educated people accept the theory of evolution. But is it true? Strange, our existence as human beings is one of the best arguments against this. According to evolutionary theory, traits that provide the greatest survival advantage are passed down from generation to generation. Yet human reproduction itself argues forcefully against this fundamental premise of evolution. If evolution is the driving force in human development, how is it that higher life forms evolved with the male and female sexes? If humans are the pinnacle of the evolutionary process, why do we have the disadvantage of requiring a member of the opposite sex to reproduce, when lower life forms, such as bacteria and viruses, are asexual and much more fertile? If they can reproduce with much simpler methods, why can't we? If evolution is true, what went wrong? If evolution is true, and humans are the pinnacle of the evolutionary process, why does a process as fundamental as human reproduction disprove everything that evolution claims? Not everyone, including some scientists, agrees that there is no Creator and that we as humans are the product of random chance. In 1972, NASA director Wernher von Braun, who has been called the father of the American space program, for his reflections on the origin of the universe, life and the human race, said: "For me, the idea of a creation is not conceivable without invoking the need for design.
