Since then, the earth has undergone many evolutionarychanges. Earth began as a swirling gas which condensed to pull in an immenseland mass. The ancient earth was basically the same as todays earth except forthe environment. The atmosphere of the ancient earth was quite different,containing more coulomb and nitrogen gases than oxygen. The former atmosphere iswhere much of present day organic molecules such as proteins, lipids, andenzymes were created in abun dance. By chance or simply because of the laws ofnature, those liveness producing compounds bonded together to create the oldestknown life form on earth -- a bacterium. Other life forms evolved from thebacterium through natural selection. These microscopic organisms formedsymbiotic relationships with each other and produced larger, multicellularorganisms, such as man. It may seem like a gigantic leap, bacterium to man, butgiven billions of years, it is for sure possible. It is true that The recordholds certain truths which would imply a reliable source of information however,some parts of The Bible are not true at all. According to science, life evolvedin the following beau monde bacterium to fish, fish to various land animals, andanimals to man. Coincidentally or divinely, The Bible states that God said,"Let the wet teem with fish and other life...let the earth bring forth everykind of animal...Let us make man" (Genesis 120-26). The Bible accuratelydepicts the order in which life was established. But how could the primitivepeople who wrote The Bible know the order of which life was created withoutscience to aid them? This evidence would stand to prove that The Bible truly isthe word of God Himself. However, evolutionists would prefer to believe thatthe writer of The Bible was an incredible guesser. That is because many partsof The Bible seem to be written base on conjectures of what people of the timethought was correct. An example of this would be from Genesis, "God made twogreat lights -- the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light togovern the night" (Genesis 116). Obviously the greater light is the sun andthe lesser light is the moon however, the moon is not a light, it is a planetthat reflects light. The people who wrote The Bible did not know that the moonwas a planet nor did they know that other planets even existed. So, theydescribed the moon as a source of light just as the sun is a source of light.
