The Big Three: Major Events That Changed History Forever

"For man years, evolution explained our origins by "spontaneous generation". Simply stated, this means that under the proper conditions of temperature, time, place, etc., decaying matter simply turns into organic life. This idea dominated scientific thinking until 1846, when Louis Pasteur completely shattered the theory by his experiments. He exposed the whole concept as utter foolishness. Under controlled laboratory conditions, in a semi-vacuum, no organic life ever emerged from decaying, nonliving matter. Reluctantly it was abandoned as a valid scientific issue. Today no reputable scientist tries to defend it, but it was hallmark of evolution for decades. That is why Webster says it is "now abandoned." Obviously, if spontaneous generation actually did take place in the distant past to produce the first spark of life, it must be assumed that the laws which govern life had to be completely different from what they are now. But wait a minute! This won't work either, because the whole evolutionary theory rests upon the assumption that conditions on the earth have remained uniform throughout the ages" (Croft). Yet so many non-believers argue that life started without a Creator: just chance + time + energy acting upon matter = a mathematical precise cosmos and life. However Dr. Henry M. Morris III (Chief Executive Institute for Creation Research: ICR) In "The Big Three," contends that the Creation, the Fall, and the Flood have sufficient and necessary explanatory power that chance lacks in explicating the cosmos. The three chief truths of Christian theism that bring intelligibility to cosmology and history are: - The creation ex nihilo - The Fall of man - Noah's Flood - As well as the principal renewing force of the death and resurrection of Christ. Psalms 19:1-4 "The heavens declare the glory of God and the skies announce what his hands have made. Day after day they tell the story; night after night they tell it again. They have no speech or words; they have no voice to be heard. But their message goes out through all the world; their words go everywhere on earth." Special creation, the Fall, and Redemption accomplished by Christ are not just solid facts, but necessary truths that help make human experience intelligible. Morris has provided a potent and easy-to-understand volume that communicates these essential truths with accuracy and clarity. Romans 1:20 "There are things about God that people cannot see--his eternal power and all the things that make him God. But since the beginning of the world those things have been easy to understand by what God has made. So people have no excuse." ------ See the New Book that proves the existence of God using moral absolutes by Mike Robinson: There Are Moral Absolutes: How to Be Absolutely Sure That Christianity Alone Supplies ------ or additionally see the dynamic new book on apologetics: "The Necessary Existence of God: The Proof of Christianity Through Presuppositional Apologetics"

This is a great apologetic thesis on the authority and absolute truth of Scripture. Dr. Morris does a wonderful job exploring the Christian faith as he reveals the powerful link across history between core concepts of Christianity today. Morris sets out to prove his thesis that biblical creationism is foundational to Christian doctrine, and true evangelism; Christ was Creator before He became Redeemer. Excellent!
