Ref Romans 1:18-32
Notice that all of the things we see in society are evidence of God’s Wrath on a nation, not the cause of God’s Wrath on a nation.
Agreed. Evolutionism is pride disguised as science, for it is man’s finite mind over the infinite mind of God the Father.
As the first victim of pride is truth, for pride hates truth, ought we be surprised that evolutionism is fraudulent? That it is spiritual rather than empirical?

North Korea...any questions?
God speaks to us through the Bible and through His natural world. If the literal interpretation of Genesis is true then He is lying to us through his World.
Although I do not believe that God used evolution to create man, your position on evolution is at least reasonable. It blows my mind when people actually think that a series of unguided genetic oopsies brought the myriad of lifeforms into being.
He didn't go with the random thingy, nor does evolution.
Agreed. Plus, if the Genesis account is not true, if He did not speak, then man is free to imagine his own god, or gods and goddesses. In this light, evolution is an idol of the imagination.
Good example.
“...then He is lying to us through his World.”
Please explain your claim.
He made ADAPTATION operational, and this is why species/kinds can adapt to various environments on this earth.
This ability was ORIGINAL in the created kinds,
and was NOT added later, gradually.
To put it another way, the adaptibility that evos would credit to mutation is/was actually already in the information in each creature at creation.
Imagine that there’s BOTH- He started and controls it.
The evidence from studying the Earth testifies to its great
age.
But what is time to God? Just another of his inventions. 7 days to one observer can be 4 billion years to another observer.
Then your understanding of evolution is lacking. Evolution involves random mutations, minute changes over time to the benefit of some organism, which is dubious at best because an organism would have to experiment with change in order to find which is best and then adopt only that specific mutation, this implies intelligence and the ability to develop mutations spontaneously. Mutations themselves are probematic as they tend to be detrimental to the life of the organism (>70%).
Not so. Variation within species is God's way.
Evolution is a construct of man's anti-God thinking designed to eliminate the need of Him in our world. It's based on nothing but forensic evidence and lots of extrapolation.
It's a philosophical construct, not science.
Lying to us through the natural world?
Perhaps the more correct statement, is that it ‘appears to be so, based on our own faulty understanding of what we see and find’.
God does not lie, either in His Word, nor in the world. We see here through a glass darkly, we’ll understand it ALL later.
Very insightful.
Selective pressure bias from the environment: and there goes randomness. Mutation is not the sole driver of evolution, nor is randomness.
And "God is a construct by which we measure our pain."
Then I suggest you re-read the statement.
The theory of evolution and God as creator are polar opposites. Evolution involves random mutation whereas the Creator is specific and designs His creation. Nothing caught Him by surprise. To suggest otherwise strips the Creator of omniscience.
