We live in a time when many claim that science has replaced God, that the universe came from nothing, and that morality is shifting and relative. Humanity places itself at the center and makes itself the standard of truth.
That is precisely why the words of the Bible are more relevant than ever.
From creation up to our own age, one unbroken theme runs through history: God has spoken, and His word stands firm.
History, nature, and fulfilled prophecy repeatedly testify that the Bible is not a myth but the true account of the world, humanity, and God’s perfect blueprint.
Creation and perfect order are not random.
The Bible begins with the words:
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1)
Already here, the Bible sets itself in direct contrast to today’s naturalistic explanations such as evolution and the Big Bang model. Scripture asserts that everything began with intention, will, and a Creator and not with a meaningless, random vacuum.
The Universe had a beginning and science confirms it
For over a thousand years, many philosophers assumed that the universe was eternal.
But modern cosmology shows this is not the case. Several strong scientific arguments demonstrate that the universe must have had a beginning:
• The expansion of space (Hubble’s Law):
When Edwin Hubble discovered that galaxies are moving away from us in all directions, the conclusion was clear: the universe is expanding, and an expansion implies a starting point.
• Cosmic background radiation:
In 1964, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson discovered a faint, even radio noise covering the entire sky. It is the afterglow from the universe’s earliest moments, evidence of a clear “beginning spark.”
• The second law of thermodynamics:
The universe moves from order to disorder (increasing entropy).
If the universe were infinitely old, all energy would have already evened out. The fact that structure and energy still remain shows the universe cannot have existed forever.
Conclusion: the Bible and science agree that the universe began to exist at a specific moment.
Order cannot come from an explosion.
The Big Bang is often described as a “cosmic explosion,” but no explosion in history has ever created finely tuned natural laws, complex structures, self-organizing systems, biological life, or consciousness. Explosions produce chaos and destruction, yet the universe exhibits order, precision, and balance.
A few examples
• Gravity is extraordinarily fine-tuned
Even tiny changes would have enormous consequences.
A variation of only 1% would noticeably destabilize life on Earth, and a 10% change would disrupt the Earth’s orbit, the Moon, and climate systems. If the gravitational constant changed by even a fraction of a percent, stars, galaxies, and planets could not form.
• The electromagnetic force is fine-tuned beyond comprehension
If it were slightly stronger, atoms would collapse and no stable molecules could exist. If slightly weaker, atoms would not hold together at all. In either case, life would be impossible.
• DNA functions as an information code
It contains an alphabet, syntax, and detailed instructions far more advanced than anything humans have ever created.
DNA as an Example
Every human cell (except sex cells) contains about two meters of DNA packed into a nucleus only a few micrometers wide. That corresponds to roughly six billion “letters” (nucleotides), which equals about 1.5–3 GB of information. DNA is filled with encoded information, rules, instructions, error correction, and “programming” that governs life. If all the DNA in the human body were stretched out, it would reach from the Earth to the Sun about 70 times.
This is crucial in the creation debate, because pure information never arises from chance or explosions. DNA resembles an advanced programming language and points clearly to intentional design, not random assembly. Cells function as fully organized factories, with machinery, energy systems, storage management, and repair mechanisms. There is no known physical or chemical process that can create information, complexity, fine-tuning, or self-repair on its own. Intelligence is always required.
No “explosion,” whether in nature or in a laboratory, has ever produced anything remotely comparable.
The universe is designed — not an accident.
Many physicists today acknowledge that the universe appears fine-tuned and almost “programmed.”
Even several who do not believe in God admit that reality points to a guiding intelligence.
- Stephen Hawking spoke of “the mind of God” when describing the mathematical laws governing the universe.
- Paul Davies, a physicist and atheist, has acknowledged that nature bears the marks of deliberate design.
- Fred Hoyle, one of cosmology’s pioneers, said it seems as though a “superintelligent force” has adjusted the laws of physics.
Taken together, it becomes difficult to call the universe random. It has structure, precision, mathematical laws and purpose.
The Bible aligns perfectly with this picture. We are not products of blind chance but created in the image of God with value, identity, and purpose.
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. (Psalm 139:14)
Evolution’s weaknesses and why species do not change
Evolutionary theory teaches that small, gradual changes over long periods produced all life on Earth. But real biology, genetics, and fossils reveal a very different picture. The Bible says God created creatures “according to their kinds,” and this matches what we actually observe.
The first major problem is that species never change beyond their natural limits.
Scientists have followed hundreds of thousands of generations of bacteria, insects, fish, birds, and mammals. Variation within a species exists, dogs with different traits, birds with different beaks, humans adapting to environments but the changes always remain within the same species.
A dog is still a dog.
A bird is still a bird.
A human is always a human.
No observation in nature or laboratories shows one species transforming into another.
Why don´t other spices change?
If evolution could really produce intelligence and consciousness through random mutations, then many animals should have followed the same path. Yet sharks, crocodiles, and countless species have remained almost unchanged for hundreds of millions of years, showing no sign of evolving into anything higher.
If evolution constantly pushes forward, we should see multiple lines developing into intelligent, linguistic, cultural beings, not just one. The idea that a single ape lineage suddenly became moral, self-aware, creative, and technological while all other species remained static is hard to reconcile with a blind, random process.
Evolution claims that mutations create new genetic functions, but mutations do not produce new information, they degrade existing information.
Mutations can weaken, alter, or destroy genes, but they do not build complex systems such as a heart, eye, wings, or brain. Modern genetics shows that DNA damage almost always leads to disease or dysfunction which is why mutations are linked to hundreds of medical conditions.
If evolution requires millions of beneficial mutations to produce advanced new functions, but mutations in reality mostly cause loss of function, the theory collapses.
The eye is a powerful example.
The eye is one of the clearest examples of something that could not arise by evolution.
It consists of many interdependent parts that must all work simultaneously. This is called irreducible complexity.
The human eye consists of:
• A cornea that bends light
• A lens that adjusts focus
• An iris that regulates light
• A retina with over 120 million light-sensitive cells
• An optic nerve that transmits signals
• A visual cortex that interprets images in real time
None of these parts serve any function alone. A lens without a retina, a retina without a nerve, or a nerve without a brain-center is useless. The entire system must exist from the beginning. A half-formed eye provides no vision and therefore no evolutionary advantage. Evolution cannot build something that only works once every part is complete.
- The retina can detect single photons.
- The nerve sends millions of signals per second.
- The brain instantly converts them into color, depth, clarity, and motion.
From the moment light hits the retina until the brain interprets it takes about 70–150 milliseconds.
Darwin himself admitted the problem:
“To suppose that the eye could have been formed by natural selection seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.”
Natural Selection Cannot Create anything new
Natural selection, often presented as the savior of evolution, does not create new information it only removes existing variation. It helps species adapt within the boundaries of the genetic information they already possess. It is like editing a book by deleting words. You may simplify the text, but you never create new chapters.
Another issue is what today is called genetic entropy: the gradual breakdown of the genome.
Every generation accumulates more mutations than the previous one, leading species to slowly weaken over time. For evolution to work, constant improvement is required, but genetics shows the opposite.
This aligns perfectly with the Bible’s description of a world deteriorating after the fall and not with evolution’s idea of continuous biological advancement.
Reproduction is evolution’s greatest problem
In humans and most animals, reproduction requires two complementary sexes, such as male and female. Both must possess highly complex reproductive systems that work together with extreme precision.
This makes evolutionary explanations impossible because one sex without the other is completely useless for reproduction. Both would need to exist at the same time, fully developed, compatible, and functional from the very beginning.
A slowly evolving reproductive system could never sustain a species.
Any stage that does not produce fully functional sperm, eggs, and reproductive organs results in total infertility, meaning the species would go extinct immediately. You cannot have “almost functioning sperm” or “partially developed wombs” for thousands of generations. Either the system works perfectly or it does not work at all.
Sexual reproduction is not evolution’s friend; it is its greatest obstacle.
But it fits perfectly with a Creator: God made mankind male and female, fully formed and capable of producing life from the beginning.
Other Phenomena Evolution Cannot Explain
• Fossils show nearly exclusively fully formed life-forms, lacking the gradual transitional forms evolution requires.
• Complex organs that cannot function unless all parts are in place cannot be built gradually, they must be complete to work at all.
When we consider DNA, the destructive nature of mutations, fully formed fossils, biological limits, and genetic deterioration, they all point to the same conclusion: evolution does not work in practice.
Species are stable, and life is complex in ways that cannot arise by chance.
If evolution is true can we trust our own reasoning process?
Another point worth reflecting on: if humans are truly the result of a long chain of random mutations and blind chemical processes without purpose or intelligence, then why should we trust our own reasoning?
If the brain is simply the accidental product of survival-driven chemical reactions, why would it be reliable in logic, morality, meaning, or science? A system shaped by randomness cannot be assumed trustworthy.
But if we are created by God with intention, rationality, and the ability to seek truth, then both our thinking and our lives rest on a solid foundation.
Our reason is not a cosmic accident, it is a gift from God.
In other words: reality supports the creation account, not evolution.
Fossils, a Flood, and the Lost World
The Bible describes the pre-flood world as advanced, populated, and morally corrupt:
“The earth was corrupt before God; the earth was filled with violence.”
(Genesis 6:11)
Such a world would leave clear evidence and that is exactly what we see in nature.
Fossil formation requires rapid burial, immense pressure, and oxygen-free conditions. This does not happen through slow erosion but through sudden, catastrophic events.
Fossils worldwide testify to precisely this. Marine fossils have been found in high mountain ranges such as the Himalayas, the Alps, and the Rockies and that is strong evidence that these regions were once underwater.
Dinosaur skeletons are often found in concentrated mass graves, buried in positions suggesting they were overtaken by sudden mudslides or powerful waves.
We also see enormous sediment layers stretching across entire continents, as if massive water flows swept over them and deposited sediments quickly.
Scientists have even found half-eaten fish fossilized, something only possible if they were buried instantly, within seconds.
These discoveries fit poorly with millions of years of slow, natural processes but it matches perfectly with a global flood
One of the strongest arguments comes from the last few decades: the discovery of soft tissue, blood vessels, and biochemical remnants in dinosaur bones. Such structures cannot survive tens of millions of years not even under perfect conditions. But they fit easily with fossils formed quickly and relatively recently.
Global flood legends is worldwide memory
More than 300 cultures around the world tell the same story. Civilizations such as Mesopotamia, early China, the Inca, and the Maya all describe:
• A massive flood
• A family that survives
• A boat or an ark
• A new civilization that begins afterward
The similarities are too strong to dismiss as mere coincidence.
It is far more reasonable to see them as preserved memories of a real historical event, such as the biblical Flood.
When we look at history after the Flood, we see something equally striking: advanced civilizations appear almost immediately.
Across the world, the same pattern emerges from Egypt to Sumer/Babylon, the Indus Valley, and China.
This does not fit the idea of humanity slowly evolving from Stone Age hunter-gatherers.
But it fits perfectly with a world that:
• Was repopulated after a global catastrophe
• Carried knowledge and memories from a previous advanced civilization
Taken together — fossil discoveries, global sediment layers, universal flood legends, and the sudden rise of civilizations all tell the same story:
The biblical Flood account is the most logical explanation. It is not mythology, it is history written into the earth itself.
From Babel to Babylon — humanity’s rebellion in new forms
It didn’t take long after the Flood for humanity to again turn away from God.
At Babel, mankind united to build a city and a tower meant to reach heaven and make them independent of God:
This reveals the core of human pride and are the recurring theme of the Old Testament, humanity placing itself at the center, wanting to be its own god. The same spirit exists today. The Bible calls it the spirit of Antichrist. Many thinks Antichrist means “against Christ,” but it actually means “instead of Christ.”
We no longer build stone towers, but we build digital societies, global networks, AI systems, and control mechanisms that stretch across nations. We try to control climate, the human body, genetics, the economy, and even life itself.
We live in a modern Babel, and the message echoes through history:
“We don’t need God; we can handle life ourselves.”
God Confused the Languages and will judge the world again
At Babel, God confused the languages to stop humanity’s growing pride.
But the next time God intervenes, it will not be with a flood, he will judge the world once and for all.
In the Book of Revelation we read about the world’s final seven years, during which Babylon rises again It will be a global system of commerce, power, ideology, and false spirituality (Revelation 17–18). It is the final expression of human pride before Jesus returns, not as a Savior, but as Judge.
Humanity in moral decline
In 2 Timothy 3, Paul describes what the last days will look like and his words perfectly describe our society:
Anyone can see that this mirrors the world we live in. Violence rises, sexualization is normalized, corruption spreads, and greed is renamed “ambition.” Society worships celebrities, technology, and material success while despising spirituality, holiness, biblical values, and objective truth.
And the most obvious sign is the global identity crisis. People today don’t even know what gender they are, something once considered foundational to human identity. The truth is blurred, morality is relative and the compass is lost. This is exactly what the Bible said would happen in the last days.
The same moral decay marked the days of Noah and Jesus said the final generation would live the same way regardless of warnings and prophecy.
Isaiah summed up this mindset well: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.” (Isaiah 22:13)
When humanity places itself at the center, morality collapses. The global confusion and spiritual emptiness we see today are some of the clearest biblical signs that we are approaching the end.
Israel is a living proof of prophecy fulfilled
Isaiah wrote about 700 years before Christ:
Do not be afraid, for I am with you.
I will gather you and your children from east and west.
(Isaiah 43:5)
When Israel was reborn as a nation in 1948 after nearly two thousand years, something happened that has no parallel in world history. No other people have been scattered across the world for centuries and then returned to their ancient homeland with their identity, language, and faith intact.
For centuries, many believed these prophecies were symbolic. Today, they are historical reality.
This is one of the strongest signs that God is preparing the world for His final judgment.
Israel is not a small, insignificant nation in the Middle East it is a central piece in God’s prophetic plan.
When the nation was restored in 1948, prophecies that had remained dormant for two millennia were suddenly activated. Today the world’s attention is fixed on Israel, and God is preparing the stage for the return of Jesus.
The global obsession with Jerusalem is no political coincidence it is a spiritual marker that God’s timeline is advancing.
One of the devil’s primary goals has always been to wipe out the Jewish people and destroy Israel. The Bible describes him as the father of lies, driven by the desire to oppose everything God does. He hates humanity because we are created in the image of God. The devil knows he cannot harm God, but he does everything he can to harm what God loves most.
If he could make Israel or the Jewish people disappear and hinder God’s promises from being fulfilled, he could claim that God’s Word is not true. This is why God’s people have throughout history repeatedly been at the center of hatred, persecution, and war.
The survival of Israel is not merely a political issue but a testimony to God’s faithfulness.
God has promised to preserve His people, bring them back to their land, and fulfill His promises through them.
And this is where the prophet Daniel’s 70th week becomes crucial for understanding our time. For context, we first need to understand who Daniel was.
Daniel’s 70th Week — God’s prophetic clock for Israel
First: who was Daniel?
Daniel was a young Jewish noble taken captive to Babylon when King Nebuchadnezzar conquered Judah in the 6th century BC.
Despite living as a foreign captive, he became one of the most influential men in the entire empire.
He served under several kings both Babylonian and Persian and became a respected adviser, statesman, and interpreter of dreams. Daniel is known for his unwavering faithfulness to God and his prophetic gift.
Archaeology has confirmed much of the historical setting of the book of Daniel, including kings, laws, and events he describes. His prophecies are shockingly precise.
He foretold the fall of Babylon, the rise of Persia, and even the coming of Greece and Alexander the Great long before they happened.
He is not just “a prophet.” He is one of the most historically validated prophets in Scripture.
The 70 weeks Prophecy is mathematical miracle
In Daniel 9, he receives one of the most detailed prophetic timelines in the entire Bible.
God has set aside 70 “weeks” (70 periods of seven years = 490 years) for His plan concerning Israel and the world. Of these, 69 weeks have already been fulfilled with pinpoint accuracy.
To appreciate Daniel’s prophecy, one must recognize that it is not symbolic it is mathematically exact. Daniel 9:25 states that from the decree to rebuild Jerusalem until the coming of the Messiah, there would be:
“seven weeks + sixty-two weeks”
= 69 weeks
= 483 prophetic years (7 × 69)
In the Bible, a prophetic year is 360 days, based on the lunar calendar, not the sun calendar we use today.
483 years × 360 days = 173,880 days
When you follow the historical timeline from the decree of the Persian King Artaxerxes to rebuild Jerusalem, and count forward 173,880 days, you arrive at: April 6, AD 32. That is not just any day it is
the exact day Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, fulfilling Zechariah 9:9.
That day, Jesus publicly allowed Himself to be proclaimed as Israel’s Messiah. As the people shouted “Hosanna! Blessed is the King of Israel!” (John 12:13),
The Pharisees panicked:
“See! The whole world has gone after Him!” (John 12:19)
Jesus replied:
“If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!.” (Luke 19:40)
This was the exact moment Daniel had foreseen 500 years earlier. No other prophecy in world history matches such precision.
his event is also the moment that marks the beginning of what Christian tradition calls the Passion Week, the final week of Jesus’ life on earth. The week begins with Him riding into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, continues with Him teaching in the temple, sharing the Last Supper with His disciples, being betrayed by Judas, crucified, and finally rising again on Easter Sunday.
The fact that Daniel’s prophecy leads to the exact day, April 6, AD 32 clearly proves that the prophecies of the Bible are not poetic symbols but precise timelines. God shows that He is not bound by linear time but can foresee future events with absolute accuracy.
No other prophecy in world history demonstrates such precision.
We must remember that Daniel wrote this five hundred years before the birth of Jesus. This makes Daniel’s prophecy unique. It is not vague, not general, not open to interpretation, it is mathematical and exact.
The Final 70th Week — The Last Seven Years
Since the first 69 weeks have already been fulfilled exactly as the Bible describes them, there is no reason to believe the final 70th week would be any different. The 70th week represents the final seven years before Jesus returns and is known as the Great Tribulation.
That “week” could not begin until Israel became a nation again. Therefore, 1948 is not just a historical event, it is a prophetic milestone that makes its fulfillment possible.
The church will be raptured
The Bible is clear that the church, all who belong to Jesus will not enter the final seven-year judgment. Before that period begins, believers will be taken from the earth. God does not allow the righteous to suffer His wrath.
This is a biblical pattern:
• God rescued Lot before Sodom was destroyed
• God rescued Noah before the flood
• God will rescue His church before the Tribulation
Not because believers are perfect, but because they are covered by Jesus, who took God’s judgment in their place.
Technology, control, and the coming world order
Revelation describes a future global system in which no one can buy or sell without a specific mark tied to loyalty to the Antichrist (Revelation 13). Such a system was impossible throughout human history until today.
World leaders now openly promote:
• Digital identity
• Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs)
• Comprehensive surveillance networks
The technology required for a centralized economic system, one where every transaction can be monitored is no longer a future possibility; it is already being tested.
Governments and global institutions increasingly claim that the world needs unified solutions to financial, social, and political instability. Under the banner of “safety,” “stability,” and “order,” the infrastructure is being built mirroring exactly the type of system described in the Book of Revelation.
The world will seek a leader who promises peace in chaos. He will appear as the solution but he is the Antichrist, a deceiver who leads humanity to destruction.
Prophecy is unfolding before our eyes
What was once seen as symbolic is now literal:
• Nations gathering against Israel
• Natural disasters and moral decline increasing
• Knowledge exploding through AI (Daniel 12:4)
• False prophets spreading deception
• Faith growing cold, while the gospel spreads globally
Everything points to one truth:
Jesus is coming soon
So when all these things begin to happen, stand and look up, for your salvation is near!” (Luke 21:28)
Conclusion
Big Bang cannot create life.
Evolution cannot create meaning.
And humanity cannot save itself.
But God has already accomplished it all. He created and He saves.
He will be coming back to restore everything.
We stand in the midst of fulfilled prophecy, we are technologically advanced but spiritually empty, just like in the days of Noah. Therefore, the choice is the same today as then: to remain outside or enter the Ark.
At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you
(2 Corinthians 6:2)
