THE WORLD: CREATED OR A CONVENIENT HAPPENSTANCE

People go about their daily lives living on this earth without thinking how they got here or how the world got here. Many will also go along with the world’s viewpoint that the world is just a result of the big bang and humans evolved from monkeys. However, if you stop and think your opinion might change. For example, could a pile of wood form itself into a house on its own, like a world coming into existence without a creator? Or, are monkey’s still changing into humans today? The Bible is a good reference when wondering about these things, but many people reject the Bible. Something many people don’t know is that science also disproves these absurd theories and also makes the point that there is a God.

The correct viewpoint is that the world was created and God is clearly the creator of the world and the Bible states that man was created on the sixth day. Science proves these theories in many ways. When Charles Darwin came up with the theory that man has evolved from monkeys he had no complete evidence, therefore disproving evolution in itself. When creationists argue why evolution isn’t still occurring if it once did, evolutionists say that it is a slow process. If it were that then there would be many more transitional fossils in the monkey to man arrangement, but there aren’t. Also, the ones that are provided most likely were just humans or monkeys with defects causing them appear the way they did. To counter the Big Bang theory, a person just has to think logically. Without a creator, for the world to be nothing at one point and just make itself there is no logic. For example, if you put a pile of sticks on the ground and no human ever went by them, would you expect a house to come from them? Well, the answer is no. It only makes sense for a house to have a builder, just like a world, needing to have had a creator. Furthermore, a question many people don’t know the answer to is, where did the sticks come from. According to, the Law of Conservation of Mass matter cannot be created or destroyed on its own. So how could there have been any matter for the Big Bang without an outside of the universe force, a creator, in the first place? There couldn’t have been any matter without an outside of the universe creator. The theory of evolution and the Big Bang can easily be disproved by going to the Bible, but if you don’t believe the Bible, science also disproves it.

We Can Save Lives

Too many innocent people have recently been killed by the mighty wrath of guns. First, on July 20, 2012, a masked gunman ran into a Colarado movie theater, and killed 12 helpless people, also leaving 59 wounded. On August 5, 2012, another man went on a shooting spree at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin, leaving another 6 people dead. But the most shocking stat of all is that every day in America, 86 people are killed and 192 people are wounded by guns. That means that about 31,390 members of our nation die or are wounded each year by firearms. How can this staggering, seemingly hopeless number be reduced? Well, psychos and lunatic murderers will always exist, so the only way to minimize the killings is by much stricter gun control.

The time to strengthen our gun control regulations is now. Japan and Iceland both have extremely strict gun control laws and as a result, Iceland only had 1 gun related homicide and Japan had 11 in the entirety of 2009. Now wouldn’t that be nice? Some people argue that we need guns to protect ourselves against potential killers. But that is a ludicrous point, because if access to guns weren’t allowed so easily, then you wouldn’t have to protect yourselves. Also, it seems that whenever there is a mass shooting, it is never at somebody’s house, where the so-called “protection” is located. Some people also say that making gun control stricter would violate the Second Amendment, which protects an individual’s right to bear arms. But we can change amendments and our founding fathers who wrote the Constitution weren’t expecting all these new types of guns, like machine guns, M16’s, and other automatic weapons. We can avoid mass shootings, gun- related homicides, and other forms of gun violence by just making gun control harsher, or outlawing certain guns altogether. It’s worth it to save about 86 fellow Americans a day, because remember it could be you next! We can save lives!
