Question: My question is about evolution.  Is evolution a made-up thing or is it for real?  I believe in God, but I have never found where it says God created the earth (just in the Bible).  I was wondering, are there other places that state this has fact too?

Answer:  Dear Neta,

            I’m not certain what you mean when you say “other places” contrasted with the Bible.  Generally, the creation is proven, and God’s existence is established by his revelation of himself to humans.  God reveals who he is and what he is like in two ways:

1.  Special revelation – that being the written word of the Bible.  The Bible reveals things about God that no other source can.

2.      Natural revelation.  The creation itself is a testimony to God – how can such a complex and wonderful universe have simply happened?  Because the creation is so complex and wonderful there must be a greater and superior power and mind that is more complex and wonderful than the universe he created

            The message of natural revelation is that creation demands a greater power than itself.

            In Christ,
