Creation or Evolution: Does it Really Matter What You Believe?

Creation or Evolution: Does It Really Matter What You Believe?

The Bible was long accepted as a true and reliable account of our origins. But then Darwin's theory of evolution took the world by storm, with predictable and tragic consequences—proof that what we believe does matter.

Only a few generations ago laws prevented the teaching of the theory of evolution in some communities and regions in the United States. The Bible was commonly accepted as true and a reliable account of our origins. What changed?

In this guide, you’ll get to:

  • Examine the foundational premises of evolution. 
  • Consider the evidence evolutionists cite to support the theory. 
  • Look at the scientific facts evolutionists don't discuss in public—for reasons that will become clear.
  • Discover Bible passages that show Jesus Christ and His apostles fully accepted the Genesis account of the creation.

The Bible teaches us that God created man. Evolution teaches us that man created God. Which is the myth—God or evolution? Read the study guide to find out.
