Evolutionists have claimed that there was a "missing link" in the fossil records to account for the lack of fossil records to show the gradual transition from one species to another that evolution needs to support their theory. It is no longer possible to blame the absence of transitional forms on the imperfection or poverty of the fossil record. These transitional forms are not there, as the evidence clearly indicates. All gradual changes are restricted to small changes “within” species, and have little or nothing to do with changes between species.
The fossil records show two things:
1) “Stasis” (no change): Most species exhibit no directional change. They appear in the fossil record looking much the same as when they disappear; morphological (form) change is usually limited and directionless.
2) “Sudden appearance”: In any local area, a species does not arise, gradually by a steady transformation of its ancestors; it appears at once.
The fossil records support creation as set forth in the Bible; “sudden appearance” and “little” change support creation by God, not evolution.
You can accept the authority of Christ by doing what He commanded (Matthew 7:21; John 14:15; 15:10-14; Luke 6:46). Notice the pattern for becoming a Christian as revealed in the Scriptures. The Gospel was heard, resulting in faith (Romans 10:17). Repentance of (turning away from) sin (Acts 17:30) and confession of Jesus as the Son of God followed (Romans 10:10). Believers were baptized INTO Christ for the remission (forgiveness) of sins (See Galatians 3:27; Colossians 2:12; Acts 2:38; 22:16; Mark 16:16; Romans 6:3-5; 1 Peter 3:20-21), and added to His church (Acts 2:47). Christians were taught to be faithful even to the point of death (Revelation 2:10).
Following the instructions of the Scriptures, members of Christ’s body assemble as congregations for worship, encouragement, and Bible study. The congregation in your community welcomes you to investigate the Bible with us. With a spirit of brotherly love we would seek to reconcile any differences by following the Bible ONLY. We recognize the Bible as God’s inspired word, the ONLY reliable standard of faith and practice. We desire the unity for which Christ prayed and which the Bible emphasizes in the expression, “one Lord, one faith, one baptism.” Together we seek to maintain “the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
A friendly welcome awaits you. We do not wish to embarrass you in any way. You will not be asked for contributions. We assemble for Bible study and worship each Sunday morning and we welcome you to meet with us. We would be happy to talk to you about your questions and we want to be of encouragement.
