This is Ken Ham, inviting you and your family to visit the life-size Noah’s Ark.
Yesterday we learned that the history in Genesis is vital to answering why we’re sinners and in need of salvation. You see, we’re sinners because of Adam’s actions and our continued sin.
Now many Christians believe in evolution. But if life evolved over millions of years, then why is physical death the penalty for sin? Death would’ve already existed for millions of years! And yet Jesus came and physically died and physically rose again to pay for our sin.
If death isn’t really the penalty for sin, why did Jesus have to die? The gospel falls apart without Genesis. It’s vital we start with God’s Word, not evolution!
