The bible tells us to be ready, to be prepared. Here's a conversation I hope to have with someone;
Talking with someone about how work came about before the fall, before sin, and as he expresses surprise at hearing this, the talk comes around to the "theory of evolution."
As we move from the subject of work into a territory I'm a bit uneasy about, I say, "the theory of evolution goes directly against the word of God." We go to the scripture and where it says God made man in His image, He made animals in their own image (this data was new to him). So, how could man have evolved from an animal if he was made in God's image. The talk then moves into even more uneasy territory as he asks where I stand on the old vs new earth? I say new.
He thinks he has me when he asks how I explain how all the fossils are millions of years old.
I refrain from "well, they seem, according to today's science to be millions of years old and instead say, what makes us think that everything started as something looking new? God made Adam, he was brand new and he looked to be about 30 years old; first day, looked 30 years old. He is God, He can make fossils!
I hope I'm able to say "ahhhhhhhhhh" as Matt Carter did when he gave this explanation in a recent sermon.
