Genesis 1:16 - Additional Comments

Kids are brainwashed very early with evolution theories, which are shown to them as fact. (From a kids web site) "How long ago did dinosaurs roam on the Earth? Dinosaurs ruled the terrestrial world for more than 180 million years, and then they became extinct. The last of these prehistoric reptiles died out 65 million years ago." Satan will use any means to make us doubt His word, and therefore doubt God.
Also, the Big Bang Theory. "The observable universe could have evolved from an infinitesimal region. It's then tempting to go one step further and speculate that the entire universe evolved from literally nothing." - Scientific American, May 1984. That seems to roll over from a scientific perspective to a religious one.
God was the One who created the sun, the moon, and the stars. Nature didn't, chance didn't - God did.
