4. LOGOS: INFORMATION always comes from an INTELLIGENCE
LAWS of logic, language-words-meaning, mathematics, & science actually FORM all of space/time/matter/energy/LIFE & LOVE. These LAWS are INFORMATION and the source of everything.
They’re NON-physical realities that existed before the natural physical universe came into being. They’re SUPER-natural.
Scripture says that our CREATOR is the LOGOS, (John 1:1-18) It means source of LOGIC/Information (the WORD).
He made the LAWS, so He’s the LAWMAKER – CHRIST.

5. GOSPEL = Good News vs. Bad News
WHY do you think God created creation?
He was not bored. He was not lonely.
God is LOVE (agape) 1 John 4 (Father/Son/Holy-Spirit) - together eternally in a pure unselfish relationship of GIVING
THEY created to share HIS LIFE & LOVE w/ SOULS - relationships NOT just rules-laws
- the LAW of our Creator Christ is LOVE (John 13:34-35; Rom 10:8-10)

6. SCIENCE (World) & SCRIPTURE (Word):
SCIENCE says think logically & believe based on evidence - Direct   ……………..…   Indirect (Example = BONES – what vs. when/how) - Hypothesis-Theory-Law? * CAN only support either of these with evidence & tests. * CAN NOT prove either one as true or fact. * BUT can prove either one to be false = falsify
SCRIPTURE says think logically & believe based on evidence
- Prov 14:12 & 15; Heb 11:1; etc. …..
- Smoke is evidence for belief in an unseen fire. - Creation and history (HIS-story) are evidence for our unseen God.

7. EVIL-UTION. MICRO-EVO. MACRO-EVO
EVIL-UTION? MICRO-EVO? MACRO-EVO? - struggle, survival of fittest, pain, fear, suffering, & death
MICRO-EVOLUTON = a true reality
MACRO-EVOLUTION = a false belief
BUT, it’s just natural selection. It’s just the selecting of already existing genes (BIO-INFO). No new major structures or new kinds of creatures are formed. Only darker/lighter, bigger/smaller Different KINDS are NOT related.
It’s a belief that somehow over time NEW BIO-INFO was produced. - made totally NEW PARTS/PROCESSES? - made totally NEW CREATURE KINDS? - made microbes into mice, monkeys, and men It’s a blind belief in many unseen, unknown mechanisms instead of God.

8. MACRO-evolutionists believe M&M’s made Everything!
Mystery Mechanisms that made everything NATURALLY
1. UNIVERSE? ( NOTHING + M&M  Info/Laws, Universe
2. LIFE? (NON-living chemicals + M&M  Bio-Info/DNA/Machines?)
3. KINDS? (SURVIVAL + M&M  New bio-info DNA, new organisms?)
4. REPAIR? (DNA + M&M  Fixed MUTATION meltdown?)
5. MORALITY? (Molecules + M&M  Minds that are somehow able to know GOOD vs. BAD

9. IT’S NOT A MINOR ISSUE. It’s a matter of life or death.
1. GOD: Good Shepherd or Great Predator?
2. GRAPHE: Is the Bible really God’s trustworthy Word to us?
3. GOSPEL: If there was no first Adam, was Jesus death useless?
4. GLORIFY: What image or character are we to reflect?
Is it the Creator’s love & cooperation, or selfish survival & competition?

10. WHAT’S COMING? In your LIFE? After you DIE?
NEW CREATION: Isa 11; Rom 8; under HIS LAW of LOVE
He is the only source of pure unselfish love and life
He is the JUDGE and He is the only SELF-existent Being. - The Hebrew term “bara” means to CREATE new out of nothing. - Only God can do this (2nd Law of Thermodynamics). - He HELD all things together totally at the beginning - His form of punishment is SEPARATION * He LETS GO & things fall apart. He does NOT lash out. - Our SIN causes SEPARATION. SUFFERING, & DEATH.
We cannot be good enough by our efforts. We need Him to forgive us & transform us (metamorphosis).
