$\"God$ <\/p>\n

From God of Evolution<\/a>. Young-earth creationists regularly claim that accepting evolution is putting the words of human beings above the Word of God.<\/p>\n

That is precisely backwards, Biblically speaking as well as logically.<\/p>\n

Young-earth creationists claim to believe that God is the Creator, and so rejecting the testimony of the work of God\u2019s hands is rejecting God\u2019s own testimony.<\/p>\n

And what they appeal to instead of the work of God\u2019s own hands are \u2013 you guessed it \u2013\u00a0human<\/em> writings. The writings included in the Bible are not God\u2019s direct handiwork, and to play them off against the work of God\u2019s hands is to \u2013 you guessed it \u2013 put the words of human beings above the Word and work of God.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
