Our culture believes marriage is just a government or social institution. Since they believe life and mankind evolved, well, marriage must’ve too. And if this story is true, why not evolve what marriage means as society changes?

But Genesis gives us the true history of marriage. God created Adam and brought Eve to him to be his wife—the first marriage. The “very good” pattern for marriage that God designed and reaffirmed throughout Scripture is one man for one woman for life.

No one has the authority to change what God has created! Not the government, society, or the Supreme Court. Marriage is God’s invention!

The LGBTQ lobby has completely redefined marriage, sexuality, and gender. But what many Christians don’t realize is this is just one symptom of a bigger problem.

You see, our culture has replaced God’s Word with man’s opinion as the foundation for their thinking. Instead of acknowledging the Creator, our culture thinks with an evolutionary view. Now man decides what’s right and makes the rules as everyone does whatever’s right in his own eyes.

But we didn’t evolve. Our Creator defines who we are and what is right and wrong. And God’s design for our sexuality is clear—marriage between one man and one woman.

Caddisflies are small insects that live near lakes and streams. Several species have young that spin silk structures underwater. Debris sticks to the silk for camouflage. Well, researchers discovered fossilized caddisfly structures they say are almost three hundred million years old.

But these silk structures look identical to what caddisfly young build today! How did they remain unchanged over three hundred million years of supposed evolution?

This find confirms exactly what we’d expect starting with God’s Word. Caddisflies were designed by God in the beginning just a few thousand years ago—they didn’t evolve.

Have you ever noticed that some people worship nature, revering it as more important than people, while others carelessly destroy creation. Both are wrong!

God gave us dominion over creation. But this doesn’t mean we can just do whatever we want with what God has made. Scripture teaches that God cares for and delights in what he made, even the sparrows and lilies!

We need to care for creation but also remember that humans alone are made in God’s image. We have a special status because of this. Nature isn’t more important than people but it is important. Do you know what this means? Being a good steward means keeping both these truths in balance.

Last year it was announced that one book had experienced a massive increase in sales, and that book was the Bible! Last year Bible sales increased by over twenty percent and much of that growth was fueled by first time buyers.

So if you, or someone you know, is brand-new to the Bible, where should you start? Well, in Genesis! Read Genesis chapters one through eleven for the foundational history of who God is, who we are, and why our world is such a mess. Then go to the Gospel of John to meet Jesus and discover the answer to our sin problem.

It’s wonderful news that people are interested in God’s Word because it changes lives for eternity.

Dinosaurs are used more than anything else to indoctrinate kids with evolution. And the latest craze is to tell kids that dinos aren’t extinct—they’re birds now! How should parents combat this indoctrination?

Well, start with God’s Word. Show kids that God created birds on day five and dinosaurs with the land animals on day six. Talk about how the complexity of birds and dinosaurs requires a Creator and show the huge differences between them. Birds and dinosaurs have different bones, respiratory systems, and body plans. Not to mention birds were designed to fly—dinosaurs were not!

Start with God’s Word to teach kids truth.

All this week we’ve seen problems with the idea that dinosaurs evolved into birds. But there’s a major problem any evolutionary story faces: how does evolution work anyway?

You see, there’s no known process that adds brand-new genetic information into DNA. Our genetic code is a highly complex language and information system. And information only comes from other information! So where did the information to turn a dinosaur into a bird come from? There’s no known naturalistic process that could create the needed information!

Information only comes from other information—and ultimately from the mind of the Creator.

To be able to fly, birds need a special respiratory system made up of a complex system of air sacs that allows them to have a constant supply of oxygen. Essential to this system are hollow bones and a special fused collarbone. No other animal has a system anything like this.

Now, many evolutionists say that birds evolved from dinosaurs and that they are dinosaurs. But dinosaurs didn’t have this unique respiratory system. And how could such a complex and essential system just evolve anyway?

Birds aren’t dinosaurs. Both groups of animals are unique creations that show the creativity and wisdom of their Creator.

Most recent illustrations of dinosaurs show them covered in feathers. But did dinosaurs really have feathers?

Well, our researchers have determined all the feathered dinosaurs fall into two groups: they’re either birds that are called dinosaurs or they’re dinosaurs with filaments. Now a filament is not a feather—unless you accept the evolutionary definition of feather that includes anything they believe evolved into a feather.

When we get rid of the evolutionary assumptions, it’s obvious that birds and dinosaurs are totally different types of creatures. And the evidence we have so far is clear—dinosaurs didn’t have feathers.

Did you know many evolutionists don’t think dinosaurs ever went extinct—they claim they’re feeding in your backyard! Yes, they really think birds are dinosaurs.

But when we start with God’s Word we know that’s just an imaginative story. Genesis tells us that God created everything to reproduce “after their kind.” So one kind of animal will never turn into another kind. And, of course, that’s what we observe.

And birds were actually created before dinosaurs. On day five God made all the flying creatures—including birds. And on day six he made all the land animals—including dinosaurs.

Birds did not evolve from dinosaurs.
