Quote of the Day

It is absurd for the Evolutionist to complain that it is unthinkable for an admittedly unthinkable God to make everything out of nothing, and then pretend that it is more thinkable that nothing should turn itself into everything.

G. K. Chesterton

Quote Of The Day

Whence could such a creature(man) come but from Thee O Lord? Or shall any man be skillful enough to fashion himself? Or is their any other vein by which being and life runs into us save this, that "Thou, O Lord hast made us," with whom being and life are one, because Thou Thyself art being and life in the highest? Thou art the highest, "Thou changest not," neither in Thee doth this present day come to an end, though it doth end in Thee, since in Thee all such things are; for they would have no way unless Thou sustainest them. And since "Thy years shall have no end," Thy years are an ever present day. And how many of ours and fathers' days have passed through this Thy day, and received from it their measure and fashion of being; and others yet to come shall so receive and pass away! "But Thou art the same," and all the things of tomorrow and the days yet to come, and all of yesterday, and the days that are past, Thou wilt do today, Thou hast done today.

What is it to me if any understandeth not? Let him still rejoice and say "What is this?" Let him rejoice even so, and rather love to discover in failing to discover, than in discovering not to discover Thee.

Augustine

If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too.  If so, then all our present thoughts are accidents- the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms.  And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else's.  But if their thoughts are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true?  I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents.

C. S. Lewis

Quote Of The Day

Science is not a hermeneutic for interpreting Genesis...or for that matter for interpreting any other portion of Scripture.  Science is not a hermeneutic.  It is not a principle of interpretation.  The Bible does not bow to science.  The accuracy of the Genesis text is no different than the accuracy of any other portion of Scripture.  All Scripture is given by inspiration of God.  All Scripture is God-breathed.  All Scripture comes not by any private interpretation but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit...Jesus summed it up when He said, "Thy Word is truth."  The Bible is true whether you're talking about revelation and eschatological prophecy or whether you're talking about Genesis and historic origins.  The Bible is true whether you're talking about the history of Israel or the history of the Canaanites.  The Bible is true whether you're talking about salvation or sanctification, whether you're talking about the life of Jesus or the theology of Jesus.  Whatever the Bible says is absolutely true.  And the Bible is as true in Genesis as it is anywhere else, and everywhere else. 

John MacArthur
