In the Beginning: Did God Create Man or Did Man Create God? Thomas E Baca

Publisher Marketing: Do you believe that science has all the answers to the mysteries of life and the origin of the universe? If you're convinced that life is an accident and occurred spontaneously and that evolution is the key to understanding the beginning of all living things, this book will help you distinguish between opinion and fact. The mysteries of the universe, the solar system, the earth, and all living matter are made clear in either science or scripture. When one removes the philosophies of men and accepts only what is proven or revealed through scripture, the picture is as clear as the sun at noonday. Events happen for a reason, and nothing appears spontaneously without a cause. The journey through time and space, armed with revealed truths and true science reveals the eternal nature of matter and intelligence. The universe is a magnificent display of engineering, design, laws, and organization. Science has proven that life comes from life and in no other way; the anthropological record is a dismal failure in showing connectivity and succession between living organisms. Other than showing that life is interrelated, there is no transitional evidence that connects the various forms of life. The DNA markers show no connection between the apes that walked upright and ma-Adam. Man is the crowning jewel of the creation, displaying God-like qualities in physical, mental, and spiritual attributes. Then how did all that we observe today arise? Did the universe expand from something smaller than an atom and grow into everything that we see? Were Adam and Eve our first ancestors, or did they evolve from lower life forms? Was there a plan that was designed and executed by a Master Creator, or is everything we see and experience the result of random chance? The original spark of life that led to all life on planet Earth came from somewhere. The evidence for why man exists is answered in the scriptures. When opinions are set aside, the facts speak for themselves: Life could not have evolved the way Darwin hypothesized. If man created God, He is a mere idea and the winners in life are the philosophers. If God made man, his existence should be pursued with all the intensity of one's capability. In the Beginning is an in-depth exploration of these age-old mysteries and questions, and provides answers from logical reasoning and factual evidence.
