“Creation Is Distinct from God Yet Always Dependent on God so Materialism, Pantheism, Dualism, Deism is not true”

“The highly expected not happening is also a Black Swan. Note that, by symmetry,
the occurrence of a highly improbable event is the equivalent of the nonoccurrence
of a highly probable one.
This combination of low predictability and large impact makes the
Black Swan a great puzzle.”

“these texts are so explicit that it would be very difficult for
someone to hold to the complete truthfulness of Scripture and still hold that human
beings are the result of a long evolutionary process. This is because when Scripture
says that the Lord “formed man of dust from the ground” (Gen. 2:7), it does not seem
possible to understand that to mean that he did it over a process that took millions of
years and employed the random development of thousands of increasingly complex
organisms.7 Even more impossible to reconcile with an evolutionary view is the fact
that this narrative clearly portrays Eve as having no female parent: she was created
directly from Adam’s rib while Adam slept (Gen. 2:21). , for even the very first female “human being” would
have been descended from some nearly human creature that was still an animal”

“Christians today who focus almost the entire effort of their lives on earning more
money and acquiring more possessions become “practical” materialists in their
activity, since their lives would be not much different if they did not believe in God at
all.”

“The special creation of Adam and Eve shows that, though we may be like animals
in many respects in our physical bodies, nonetheless we are very different from
animals. We are created “in God’s image,” more like God than any other creature, appointed to rule over the rest of creation.”
