The Finished Creation

The following devotional is by the late Dr. Henry M. Morris, founder of The Institute For Creation Research. It appeared in ICR's "Days Of Praise," my very favorite daily devotional booklet, which I have received for years from ICR. I believe you can order it without charge from their website at: www.icr.org.


By Dr. Henry M. Morris

"For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world." Hebrews 4:3

Here is a strong New Testament confirmation of the Genesis record of a creation completed in the past - thus not continuing in the present as theistic evolutionists have to assume. Whatever processes God may have used during the six days of creation, they are no longer in operation for "the heavens and the earth were finished ... on the seventh day God ended his work which he made ... And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made" (Genesis 2:1-3).

The record in Genesis could not be more clear and specific, but the fact that it is in Genesis tends to demean it in the minds of many scientists and theologians. So they prefer to believe in a continuing evolution and long ages in the past. But the writer of Hebrews once again confirms the fact of a completed creation: "For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his" (Hebrews 4:10).

The writer is not trying to defend the completed creation as such, but merely assuming it as a commonly acknowledged truth. In fact, God's "rest" from his works of creation is taken as a prophetic type of the spiritual rest of a Christian believer when he ceases trusting his own works of legalism and relies fully on the finished work of Christ for his eternal salvation.

On the cross, after the Lord had died for our sins, he had cried out, "It is finished!" (John 19:30), and our debt for sin was fully paid. God's great work of redemption was completed, just as was his work of creation, and now we also can rest from our "dead works to serve the living God" (Hebrews 9:14).

I highly recommend ICR for defending the Bible truth vs. evolution. The truth of creation is foundational to the Bible and to the Christian faith, and most Christians are woefully ignorant in defending this truth. ICR equips believers with evidence of the Bible's accuracy and authority through scientific research, educational programs, and media presentations, all conducted within a thoroughly biblical framework. Their tools, seminars, books, etc., are unparalleled for teaching all ages, from a little child to an adult with a Ph.D. in any field of science. www.icr.org. They will also send you their monthly science magazine, Acts and Facts, upon request and without charge.

What The Fossil Record REALLY Says

Your children or grandchildren are being taught lies in public school on many levels. One of the sacred lies that is essential to Satan's New Age belief system regards the battered theory of evolution. In order to get anyone to believe it, they must choose the young, innocent and ignorant - our children. They are easily deceived, and lied to, two 'musts' in order for anyone to have enough faith to buy this theory that only the uneducated (or mis-educated) could possibly accept.

So what does the fossil record show? If there's one thing it doesn't show, it's evidence of evolution. Quite the opposite. There is not a scintilla of any kind that would lead anyone to believe that a single animal ever morphed into a different type of animal. Any process that occurs leads to the inescapable belief that each animal was made 'after its own kind,' as the Bible says. Any species changes seen are clearly either normal variation of specific types, or in some cases, to differing conditions. Cats remain cats, and dogs remain dogs, and this principal runs consistently throughout the fossil record.

Every plant and animal exhibits amazing complexity at the start. From the very first appearance of a fossil type, it shows all of its particular design features. It is so elegant throughout all species that an intelligent design behind it shows itself as exquisite.

There has never been a documented case of the origination of a new form in the entire fossil record. Many experience extinction, but the emergence of a new type - no. No evidence whatever implies in any way a descent from a common ancestry. Darwin himself was doubtful of his own theory because of the lack of transitional forms, hoping that one day they would be discovered. The fossil record, however, is essentially complete, and no such thing has ever been found.

At least 95% of all animal fossils consists of marine life. Of the terrestrial fossils, the vast majority are plants, leaving far fewer land-dwelling animals such as mammals represented in the fossil record. And yet the vast majority of animals depicted on evolutionary fossil charts in textbooks are land vertebrates, and they do not accurately portray the true fossil record.

Marine fossils are usually found in deposits resulting from catastrophic events, most of which were either buried alive or the catastrophe carried them to another location. Many are found in a death pose, sometimes ripped apart but not scavenged, giving every indication of a violent death. Interestingly, they are normally found in areas where there is no ecosystem present which would have supported them. They are not necessarily found where they lived, or even where they died, but where they were buried. Only dishonest assumptions would presume patterns of life in such cases. Many date following the great flood of Noah's day.

The presentations of these records presented in support of evolution consistently misrepresent the evidence. Every basic animal and plant type appeared suddenly and fully functional, and each type was complex and distinct throughout its life, with no evidence whatever of descending from another ancestral type. All basic types which have ever lived were present, with no new basic types appearing since the beginning.

In fact, the fossil record is remarkable in its consistency with the biblical record, created in final form and function. Arriving at this conclusion is the only reasonable and logical end, while evolutionists consistently must lie about the evidence in order to accommodate their views.

It is tragic that parents allow their children to be taught such distortions, which are all a part of the satanic program to deny the power of the Creator. Most parents know nothing themselves about the evidence and are thus in no position to refute it. The least they could do is remove their children from public schools where every subject is now skewed to accommodate the agenda of the NWO.

I would like to recommend a free monthly magazine which anyone can receive. It is called "Acts and Facts," and is published by the Institute for Creation Research. Their website is http://www.icr.org/. I encourage you to make this available to all young people in your family.

This is one more branch of the seductive deception that will bring in Lucifer's agenda for the people of earth.
