The evolutionary idea that the complexity and design we see in the universe, the earth, and all living things could have arisen by itself entirely through purely natural means, defies everyday experience and common sense, as well as fundamental scientific truth such as the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The success of this lie can only be explained as a work of Satan, who "leads the whole world astray" (Rev 12:9) with "cleverly invented stories" (2 Pet 1:16). We must recognize the creation/evolution battle for what it is, a battle between God and His enemies, disguised in the clothes of science.

But the Bible states that the creation provides conclusive evidence that there must be a God*; and if we know that a God exists, we logically must then seek Him out to discover what He wants. To not seek is to reject God. Knowledge of the Bible as God's revelation to man should then lead to acceptance of the Gospel message - salvation and fellowship with God through the person of Christ, with God's promise of eternal life. Getting people to understand that special creation by God is the true explanation for our origins, and that evolution is a lie despite its scientific trappings, provides a strong foundation for the Gospel message.

*Romans 1:19-20 "since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."
