Colossians 2:8, “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”
The
Word of God teaches that Satan is a liar of liars (John 8:44). The Bible
reveals that Satan blinds men with philosophy, vain deceit, the traditions
of men, and the rudiments (accepted principles) of the world.
The Greek word for “rudiment” is stoykhion meaning “something orderly
in arrangement,” i.e., a set of principles. Evolution is a commonly accepted
rudiment in the world. That which was mere speculation at the beginning,
dishonestly became fact at some point in secular education. Without
having any proof at all, evolutionists now teach Evolution as fact and
science.
There is a myriad of proofs against Evolution, but one of the most compelling is the existence of man's soul and spirit. Evolutionists speculate as to how biological life evolved from an alleged BIG BANG, but they have NEVER been able to explain how biological life became a living soul and spirit. Science cannot explain this unsearchable mystery.
In Pastor Max D. Younce's informative book, I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED!, he states:
When Does Life Begin?
Question: My friend and I have been discussing when the soul and spirit enter the body? Is there anything in the Bible that can help clarify this?
Answer: First, it must be recognized that a living individual, who starts at conception, is composed of body and spirit. (1 Thessalonians 5:23). There can be no life from the sperm and egg; unless the soul and spirit are present the moment conception produces a new life. The soul and spirit are the life of the body. James 2:26 tells us,
“For as the body WITHOUT THE SPIRIT is dead...”
The spirit is the seat of our intelligence and understanding (1 Corinthians 2:11). The soul is the seat of our emotions and appetites. For example: Our soul rejoices (Isaiah 61:10); our soul lusteth (Deuteronomy 12:15); the soul has desires (1 Samuel 2:16); it sorrows (Mark 14:34); it can hate (2 Samuel 5:8), and etc.
We never find where the soul and spirit are ever divided. At conception, when life begins, the soul and spirit develop; as they are connected with the body in the womb and on through after birth. God said in Genesis 2:7,
“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”
No doctor or neurologist has ever been able to find; or, observe the soul and spirit of an individual. They do know the different functions that the physical matter, called the brain, perform. What they do not know is how the soul and spirit controls the brain matter, as the brain is only dead tissue—unless the spirit of life is in the body.
In Psalm 139:14 we are told,
“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:...”
Since,
“the body without the spirit is dead”; (James 2:26a)
...therefore, conception could not produce life unless the spirit is present. Life begins at conception; therefore, abortion is nothing more than First Degree Murder in the eyes of God!

The existence of the soul and spirit in man are solid incontestable proof of a divine Creator. Although Evolutionists have arsenals of speculative findings, questionable theories, and bogus claims to put forth the teachings of Evolution; they have NOTHING factual to prove that man evolved upon the earth at any time. Man has never evolved. God formed man just as Genesis 2:7 teaches. The reality of man's soul and spirit is solid evidence against the bogus claims of evolutionists, who simply cannot explain their origin.
For an alleged BIG BANG to produce biological life, and then develop a spirit and soul is IMPOSSIBLE! Evolutionists attempt to explain the biological origin of man, claiming that all life originated from stardust; but how do evolutionists even begin to explain the origin of the soul and spirit?
How did biological life develop faith in the supernatural? How did mankind develop moral awareness? Why do inhabitants from every nation in the world acknowledge the existence of a Supreme Being? How did dead brain matter take on life? What is the difference between a dead body and a living body? It is the presence of the soul and spirit.
The Bible teaches that all souls are in God's hands...
Ezekiel 18:4, “Behold, all souls are mine...”
Hebrews 10:31, “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”
Ecclesiastes 12:7, “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.”
Matthew 10:28, “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”
1st Thessalonians 5:23, “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
God forms the child in the womb, giving the soul and spirit from the moment of conception. This is God's gift of life. Children are rewards from the Lord. Psalm 127:3, “Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.” You'll never hear that from Planned Herodhood.
Whether it be the lying Supreme Court that says a child in the womb is not a human being; or whether it be the lying evolutionist who says that man evolved from space debris; the Word of God tells us the truth that God is our Maker...
Isaiah 45:9, “Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?”
The God of the whole earth is our Maker—the Lord Jesus Christ (John 1:3; Colossians 1:16). The existence of man's soul and spirit plainly evidence a divine Maker. There is no way that a biological evolutionary process, even if it were true, could ever create spiritual life and a living soul. The only logical and possible answer is God.
Psalm 100:5, “For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.”
