Why Do Some Deny Creation?

He [God] is wise in heart, and mighty in strength; who hath hardened himself against Him, and hath prospered?" Job 9:44He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered? (Job 9:4).
H. G. Wells, a prominent evolutionist, plainly expressed why he didn't want to believe in Creation when he wrote the following in his book Outline of History: "If all animals and men evolved (rather than being created), then there were no first parents—no Eden—no fall (sin). And if there had been no fall, then.... Christianity—the story of the first sin and the reason for atonement collapses like a house of cards."
That makes his choice quite clear, doesn't it? All evolutionists who believe as Mr. Wells did, are really saying: "There's no truth to the Bible account of Adam and Eve and their bringing sin into the world, or of needing a Savior to cleanse us from our sins. So let's deny creation and substitute evolution. That way we can convince ourselves we won't have to believe in God or Jesus Christ as the Savior of sinners." What a sad ending awaits those who follow such foolish reasoning. Our opening verse speaks of such people and the Bible also declares about them: "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men." Rom. 1:1818For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; (Romans 1:18).
Those of you attending public school probably have been, or soon will be, instructed that evolution is true and creation untrue. You may have to listen to and read such teaching, but do not believe these terrible lies, for you can have full confidence in the Bible, the true Word of God.
A very happy part of Christian life is seeing the beauty, wisdom and wonder of God's creation whether in the untold billions of stars overhead, or in a tiny bit of life under a microscope, getting a glimpse of a 150-ton whale, or admiring the dainty, little fish in your acquarium, in exploring a snow-capped mountain, or looking at the loveliness of a snowflake, seeing a great eagle circling the sky, or a thumb-sized hummingbird gathering nectar, or perhaps gazing at the splendor of an ocean sunset.
In all these and innumerable other examples of God's creation, all who love the Lord have unending pleasure in recognizing His handiwork. By contrast, the evolutionist has only a false and empty pride in thinking his ancestors originated millions of years ago from a tiny speck of matter that finally became a human being. What an impossible, irresponsible and God-dishonoring theory!
How much better it is to accept the Bible invitation: "Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast." Psa. 33:8,98Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. 9For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. (Psalm 33:8‑9)
