The Real Science
• All the scientific advancements from thetime of ancient cultures throughPythagoras, Aristotle, Isaac Newton,Gregory Mendel, Hoffmann, StephenHawking and so on.
• All the technologies from the invention ofwheel, pulleys, clocks, photography,calculator, computer, electricity and so on.
The Reel Science
The question of origins
Where do we come from?
Where are we going?
and so on.
God’s positioning of man
God so loved the world that …even when wewere dead in trespasses, made us alive togetherwith Christ, (by grace, you have been saved)and raised up together and made us sit togetherin the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 2:5,6
Man’s positioning of man
As the intelligence level of man went up, hedegraded himself from the ranks of mancreated in the image of God to a lowlymonkey.
What is the fact about evolution?
Many of us might think that the theory ofevolution is a scientific theory, a veritablescientific fact that is beyond all doubts andall questions that some stupid, idiotreligious people may ask…………………………….
But, wait a second…..
Is that true?
The Same Evidence but…
What do scientists say about their theory?
Let us not go into the specifics…..
But let us see some of the famousconclusions……

For since thecreation of theworld, God’sinvisible attributes,His eternal powerand divine naturehave been clearlyseen, beingunderstoodthrough what hasbeen made, so thatthey are withoutexcuse.
Romans 1:20
For even thoughthey knew God,they glorified Himnot as God, neitherwere thankful; butbecame vain intheir imaginations,and their foolishheart wasdarkened.
Romans 1:21
Professing themselves to be wise, theybecame fools
Romans 1:22
Who changed thetruth of God intoa lie, andworshipped andserved thecreature morethan the Creator,who is blessedforever. Amen.
Romans 1:25
One more hitch is there…
The world ofscience is an everchanging one.
In 1800s, JohnDalton propoundedatomic theorysaying that atomsare indivisible..
But today, we know that atoms are indeeddivisible into electrons, protons andneutrons
And further more,… we know that protonsand neutrons are made up of quarks
Science is changing
Science is changing
The Bible will not go away
Castle built by a pack of cards
A Cosmic Conclusion
Don’t mix up Bible with anything
Evolution Revolution
Evils of evolution
And most importantly,… the theory ofevolution will ultimately lead you away fromtrue loving God who has wonderful plan foreach one of your life.
Evils of evolution
Evolution is poison
An End
and a Beginning
…
Don’t Believe me
You can search the truth for yourself…..
