AIG's weekly message:
Q: Are children able to understand the creation message?
A: It’s amazing what children can understand. At a children’s workshop in
Houston, Texas, a child handed one of our speakers, Buddy Davis, a little
“storybook” he’d drawn.
This child really got Buddy’s main point, and we believe it’s the key to
reaching the next generation: God created a perfect world that was marred
by Adam’s sin.
If you turn to the first page of the child’s book, it shows a happy
dinosaur with Adam and Eve smiling. Next, you see lots of dinosaurs with
blood dripping from their teeth, because, as the child wrote, “Adam and
Eve sinned.” But the book ends on a happy note, with the new heaven and
new Earth.
Why is this simple message so important? It strikes at the foundation of
those who believe in an old Earth: that disease, bloodshed and death—as
revealed in the fossil record—have been around for millions of years.
However, the Bible teaches that death came after Adam’s sin. So all the
horrible things in the fossil record happened because of Adam’s sin, not
God.
This is an important key in restoring a biblical foundation for our
world. And even a child can understand!
So sad.
