The God of the Bible created all life ex nihilo (out of nothing) during six, 24 hour days of abrupt Creation.  Created honey bees continue to exist as they were made, “after their kind”, as revealed in Genesis 1:21, 24.  Bee colonies survived the Flood in uprooted, floating trees or “gum stands”. Attempting to contradict the truth of how honey bees and all life came to exist, some false explanations for the origin and sustenance of life include:

Transpermia – Life originated somewhere else in the universe, was brought to earth and dropped off by an advanced ET civilization.  Searching for extraterrestrial intelligence now will later serve to falsely explain why bodies are missing after the translation of the saints (1 Thess 4 and 1 Cor 15).

Pangenesis – Darwin’s false belief that body cells excrete information into the blood stream, passed on to the next generation in the egg and sperm cells.  Rather, it is the sin nature that is passed on to all humans.  Man’s inherited depravity is atoned for by Christ Jesus’ perfect sacrifice.

Punctuated Equilibrium – Evolution occurred in short rapid bursts not preserved in the fossil record.  Ex nihilo Creation under the omnipotent power of the Creator did occur abruptly, but all changes after Creation are degenerative, not beneficial.  All scientists accept this law of entropy.

Intelligent Design – Life is irreducibly and specifically complex; therefore it must have been designed by an outside unknown and unknowable intelligence.  But the true God is knowable, personal and involved with man.  I.D. fails to draw man to ultimate truth in God’s Word and His Creation.

Micro-evolution – Shifting information within a gene pool, causing variation within a kind.  But no variation in any kind has ever explained its origin.

Macro-evolution – Large-scale changes from one biological life form into another kind of biological life form.

Progressive Creation – God created individual life forms whole and complete, as needed, over billions of years.  This is simply disguised evolution.

Gap Theory – Inserts evolutionary time in the Bible by placing billions of years between Genesis 1:1 and :2 before Adam and Eve’s creation. Some believe this also proves non-Caucasians are inferior as a result of a pre-Adamic ‘polluted’ gene pool.  Correct Hebrew exegesis refutes this theory. 

Quantum Speciation – Rapid speciation occurs in small populations isolated from the larger population.  Variations in skin tone and eye shape fail to explain the origin of life.  Rather, variations are a result of judgment at Babel’s Tower.  Man’s migration after Babel produces gene pool variation.

Theistic Evolution – God used evolution to create all life.  This is a common compromise believed by some who desire to live their faith in a way compatible with false scientific theories.  But true science is not at odds with the biblical account of creation.  1 Timothy 6:20 exposes false science.

The Bibleview^™ of reality provides correct information to understand the origin and sustained existence of life.  A correct understanding of biblical creation teaches the earth is young (6-10,000 years).  Creation Scientist Grady McMurtry explains that “any old earth/universe view says that the death of a Nepesh organism (with skin and nostrils) occurred before human sin.  This totally contradicts Genesis and it means that sin was not the reason death was instituted by God.  If human sin did not cause death, then the death of one man on a cross is meaningless.  Only when we understand creation can we realize that sin caused death; that the sin of the first Adam is the causal agent.  If the first Adam did not bring death into the universe, then the second Adam cannot take it away.  If we do not understand creation, we cannot understand that the death of One Sinless Man can atone for the sins of the world.”  See Dr. McMurtry’s work at www.creationworldview.org.  Lady Lydia
