Creation or Evolution?
The Bible: psalm 102, verse 25
From the complexity of a single cell, to the diverse living organisms and impressive natural phenomena on our planet, to the breathtaking events in this seemingly boundless universe: who could not be amazed by the countless wonders that surround us? To date, astrophysicists have discovered 125 billion galaxies in space. These contain up to 200 billion suns and extend across a total diameter of 90 billion light-years (one light-year = 9.46 trillion kilometers). This is an unimaginable magnitude that far exceeds our human comprehension.
This leads us to the question of how the universe came into being, where we humans come from, and what the purpose of our existence on this earth is. There are two possible answers to these fundamental questions: The Bible testifies that there is a God and that this God is the creator of all things and the origin of all life. This means that life is based on a specific plan, which in turn is connected to God. Atheistic science denies the existence of a creator. Instead, it attempts to explain the origin of life through natural causes. The most well-known theories are the theories of Big Bang and evolution. There are also some who believe that the theory of evolution is compatible with the Bible's creation account. Here we want to get to the bottom of this tense question.
