The Purpose of Clearly Created

Welcome to Clearly Created!

I am a firm believer in a young earth (between 6,000 to 10,000 years old) that was created by God (not a god, but the God of the Bible). I believe the account of specific creation as recorded in Genesis 1-3 is actual, accurate history, not just a story. Although I am not an expert by any means, I have started this blog to share information and facts that support a Biblical, supernatural creation. 


"Why does it matter?" you ask. "What difference does it make; salvation is not dependent upon believing in a created world. Many people who claim to be Christians believe in and promote evolution". Yes, that is correct. I believe a Christian can believe in evolution. It is not the unpardonable sin by any means. However, when a Christian takes the liberty of changing God's Word, and choosing what they do and don't believe, they end up making their own God. And if you reject the Genesis account of creation, you destroy the very foundation of Christianity.  If you don't believe Genesis 1, why would you believe in the rest of the Bible? Jesus Himself accepted and taught from Genesis. For example, when discussing marriage, He referred to Genesis when He said "Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female...". If you accept what Jesus taught for salvation, then you are a hypocrite if you do not believe what He taught about creation! So, although I know Christians who believe in "theistic evolution" or the gap theory, I believe they are sadly mistaken, and in error. 


I welcome honest questions, even debating (via comments) but vulgarity or foul language will not be allowed.
