ZigOn Evolution vs. Creationism (Part 2)

By Zig Ziglar, Christian Post Guest Columnist Thursday, January 29, 2009

As a businessman and along with most people in this world of ours, I believe in doing what works, provided it does not override the rights of other people. Rabbi Daniel Lapin, a physicist and a research scientist, conducted research with three assistants over a period of several months and concluded that for over a thousand years roughly 90% of all of the medical and scientific breakthroughs have come through the Judeo-Christian world, and approximately 50% of the 90% came from America.

Those of us who believe that this creation is the result of a Creator find these results very reasonable. Now let's look at what the Creator Himself has to say about the things that had to take place for the overwhelming majority of these breakthroughs to come through the Judeo-Christian world. Psalm 25:14 reads, "The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him, and He will show them His covenant." In other words, He's saying, "I'm going to let you in on things. I will reveal to the believer things that the secular world will not know." In First Corinthians 1:11 and 12, "For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him. Even so, no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received not the spirit of the world but the Spirit Who is from God that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God."

Then in First Corinthians 2:16 we read, "For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ."
