For in Him We Live

That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
(Acts 17:27-28) KJV

In him we live gives the impression that God isn’t only omnipresent but is somehow the actual material that the universe is made of. We’re in the universe, but if we’re also in God then, on some level, God and the universe are part of the same thing. God is the universe, and the universe is God, at least, an aspect of God. Which aspect? That’s something that we can deduce.

Biblical vs. Biological

The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything. And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, for
“‘In him we live and move and have our being’;
as even some of your own poets have said,
“‘For we are indeed his offspring.’
(Acts 17:24-28) ESV

Body, soul and spirit establishes the Biblical pattern for life. However, Biblical life and biological life aren’t the same. Biblical life refers to sentient beings which have the breath of life and self-determination.

The Trinity in the Beginning

God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
(Acts 17:24) KJV

Theological commentaries, especially mainstream (liberal) ones, will happily tell you that there’s no actual statement of the doctrine of the Trinity in scripture. They want you to think that it’s something that the Church fathers cobbled together at one of their councils where they, supposedly, cobbled the Bible together.

The Holy Trinity

For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.
(1 John 5:7) NKJV

1 John 5:7 gives us the Holy trinity, Elohim. “The Word” is God the Son, Jesus Christ, whom we have resolved with the deep of Genesis 1:2. This is going to bother a lot of people.

Two Trees

And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
(Genesis 2:8-9) KJV

We have lots of questions and definitions today. I thought I’d share them.

Question:
- IF God created a perfect world which got ruined by accident,
- THEN why was the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden of Eden?
Answer:
- God didn’t create a perfect world.

Question:
- WHY did God put the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden,
- IF he knew that eating the fruit would ruin his creation?
Answer:
- Eating the fruit didn’t ruin God’s creation.

Question:
- IF God’s perfect world wasn’t supposed to fall into corruption, Plan A,
- THEN was Christ’s death on the cross Plan B?
Answer:
- God didn’t create a perfect world.

Question:
- IF our soul is eternal,
- WHY would we need a tree of life?
Answer:
- The tree of life is for healing the body, not the soul.

Abiogenesis is the creative will of God expressed as progressively more complex biological life over the course of the 6 days of creation.
– Abiogenesis, definition

Devolution is change in allele frequency in a population, combined with accumulated mutations and DNA replication errors, that causes genomic decay, sickness, and loss of variability over time. It includes both macro and micro evolution. It began at the fall of man in Genesis 3:16.
– Devolution, definition

Devolution is the process of genetic change over time by which the animals saved on Noah’s ark gave rise to the distribution of current biodiversity.
– Devolution, context

Evolution on the scale required in the SciPop paradigm requires death. There was no death before sin, therefore the evolutionary basis of the Phylogenetic Tree of Life is impossible.

What is Life?

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
(Genesis 1:20-23) KJV

The biological definition of life and what the Bible describes as living aren’t the same thing. This is important to know as we see how the process of creation unfolded. Biology is the foundation of secular humanism.

The Darkness He Called Night

Creation Theory Predictive Testable Hypothesis 18

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
( Genesis 1:3-5 ) KJV

God could have made a perfect creation from nothing, he didn’t. Instead God used water. The result is a creation where there is continuous struggle between light and dark. Why? So that we may have free will.

Biodiversity

In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort. And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
( Genesis 7:13-16 ) KJV

If Noah’s ark was the origin of all terrestrial life then we can see the role of evolution. There were 2 horses on the ark, now there are at least 7 species in genus Equus. Evolution is part of the creation narrative.

Evolution isn’t a Lie

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
(2 Thessalonians 2:9-12) NKJV

The lie isn’t Evolution. The lie is the popular science paradigm (SciPop) starting with gravitation. Evolution is just one badly abused facet.

Water

Lift up your staff, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, that the people of Israel may go through the sea on dry ground.
(Exodus 14:16) ESV

If you’ve ever studied biology, biochemistry or chemistry you may have noticed that practically all introductory textbooks in those subjects have a chapter on water at or near the beginning. It’s obligatory.
