This Certified Faith Teaches us that There is a
God and the Bible is His word.

• There are Evidences that Prove the existence of
  God and the Bible to be His Word
• Internal and External

9
Psalms 141

• The fool hath said in his heart, There is no
  God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable
  works, there is none that doeth good.
• Fool Hebrew nabal Stupid, wicked
  (especially impious)
• It is foolish to perceive that there is no God!
  - Why is it foolish?

10
Psalms 191-2

• The heavens declare the glory of God and the
  firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day
  uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth
  knowledge.
• To ignore and deny God is to ignore and deny
  creation!

11
This truth is in each and everyone of us!

• Man knows this and has a desire to worship
• Every civilization has some sort of religion and
  something or someone to worship

12
Rom 120-23

• For the invisible things of him from the
  creation of the world are clearly seen, being
  understood by the things that are made, even his
  eternal power and Godhead so that they are
  without excuse Because that, when they knew God,
  they glorified him not as God, neither were
  thankful but became vain in their imaginations,
  and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing
  themselves to be wise, they became fools, And
  changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into
  an image made like to corruptible man, and to
  birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping
  things.

13
Those in Athens longed to worship

• (Acts 1723) For as I passed by, and beheld your
  devotions, I found an altar with this
  inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore
  ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
• The longing to worship is from our natural
  knowledge that God does exist.

14
Religion vs. Science

• Some think that theres a division between true
  religion and true science.
• Go hand in hand
• Only false science contradict true religion
• Only false religion contradict true science

15
Creation exist therefore there must be a Creator

• (Gen 11) In the beginning God created the
  heaven and the earth.
• The Bible offers the only explanation of the
  beginning of the universe Where everything came
  from.

16
Big Bang Theory

• Big bang refers to the most widely held
  scientific theory of the origin of the universe.
  According to this theory, the universe began with
  a hot, explosive event-a "big bang"-about 10
  billion to 20 billion years ago. At the beginning
  of the event, all the matter that existed was
  much smaller than the nucleus of an atom. Matter
  then expanded rapidly and is still expanding.
  British cosmologist Fred Hoyle originated the
  term big bang in 1950. (World Book Deluxe 2004)

17
all the matter that existed

• Doesnt tell were all came from!
• Single ball of matter existed before the Big
  Bang
• Where did the single ball of matter come from?

18
Theory of Evolution

• They teach that all life came from one single
  cell organism.
• Where did the single cell organism come from?
• Where did it get life?
• Impossible for man to take organic material and
  create life! Yet, they want us to believe their
  word and believe in chance occurrences over
  intelligent design.

19

• All life comes from life. The biologist cannot
  admit spontaneous generation in the face of the
  scientific evidence he has. (Jordan and
  Kellogg, Evolution and Animal Life, p. 41)
• The Bible starts with a self-existent,
  everlasting being, God.
• Theory of Evolution Chance occurrences with NO
  explanation of ORIGIN.

20
Sound Logic

• Something cannot come from nothing.
• Something is. (exists)
• Therefore, something always was.

God
21
True Science disproves Theory of Evolution

• 1st Law of Thermodynamics
• The first law states that energy in a system,
  which may be anything from a simple object to a
  complex machine, cannot be created or destroyed.
  Instead, energy is either converted from one form
  into another or transferred from one system to
  another. (World Book 2004 Deluxe)

22
1st Law of Thermodynamics

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed
• Proven science
• The universe couldnt have created itself.
• It must have been created in the past
• No further creating is occurring
• No loss of creation is occurring
• God created energy through miraculous creation
• No other way for energy to be created

23
1st Law of Thermodynamics Proves the Bible to be
right.

• The Bible is the only religious book that
  correctly portrays the 1st Law by
• Having a Creator that is no longer creating
• Having a Creator who is upholding all things by
  the word of his power. (Heb 13)

24
True Science disproves Theory of Evolution

• Law of Kind
• Kind reproduces its own kind

• Animal produces Animal
• Canine produces Canine
• Dog produces Dog

• Plant produces Plant
• Tree produces Tree
• Oak produces Oak

Evolution goes against this fundamental
scientific fact
25
Gen 121-25

• And God created great whales, and every living
  creature that moveth, which the waters brought
  forth abundantly, after their kind, and every
  winged fowl after his kind and God saw that it
  was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be
  fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in
  the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
  And the evening and the morning were the fifth
  day. And God said, Let the earth bring forth the
  living creature after his kind, cattle, and
  creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his
  kind and it was so. And God made the beast of
  the earth after his kind, and cattle after their
  kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the
  earth after his kind and God saw that it was
  good.
• Written by a Prophet of God not a scientist

26
If Man evolved from a one cell organism, where
are all the innumerable transitional forms that
would obviously exist?
27
Astronomy gives evidence to God and His Word

• False science at one time taught that the earth
  was flat and was held up by some type of
  foundation
• Modern science, for the most part, attributes
  this false idea to religion.
• False religion? maybe
• Gods Word? NO

28
Astronomy gives evidence to God and His Word

• (Job 267) He stretcheth out the north over the
  empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
• (Isa 4022) It is he that sitteth upon the
  circle of the earth
• Bible teaches of a spherical Earth in a vacuum of
  space

29
Astronomy gives evidence to God and His Word

• No better description of the earth in relation to
  space
• Up till the last century scientist believed that
  space was filled with a substance they called
  ether. (not the chemical) Job said through
  inspiration that it was empty and nothing.
• We see today that space is a vacuum of nothing.
• How could Job know this through natural means?
• How could he posses such knowledge?

30
Archaeology confirms the Bible in history

• (Ex 111) Therefore they did set over them
  taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens.
  And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities,
  Pithom and Raamses.
• A discovery of an inscription says that Raamses
  II built the city of Raamses with Jewish labor.
  (Bible vs. Modernism, Trice and Roberson, p. 132)
• Nothing has been unearthed and uncovered that
  contradicts the Bible

31
The way the Bible came together accounts for its
Divine origin

• Wrote by about 40 writers
• Moses in Genesis to John on Patmos
• Kings to Fishermen
• Different Cultures
• In Freedom
• In Bondage
• Wrote in 3 languages
• Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek

32
The way the Bible came together accounts for its
Divine origin

• Combined together to form one complete Book
• One focal point Jesus Christ
• Man couldnt have created such a book
• Man can barely be consistent with himself much
  less 40 men centuries apart.

33
Conclusion

• Evidence proves the existence of God
• Simple fact that we are here testifies to God
• The Fool says there is no God!
• False Science Hides the truth
• Evolution explains nothing about origin
• True Science Proves True Religion
• His word is the Bible our Certified Faith
