The Nature of Man
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of
God created he him; male and female created he them”
(Genesis 1:27).

Man was created in the image of God, without sin and holy. However, he was given a commandment from God with the option of disobeying the commandment. As is painfully obvious all around us, man used free will to his own detriment. He sinned against God when he ate of the fruit of the “tree of the knowledge of good and evil” (Genesis 2:17; 3:6) and thus defiled the whole creation.

It was not the fruit that defiled the creation, but rather it was the disobedience that accompanied it. As a result of this sin, God cursed the universe he had created (Genesis 3:17–20). Modern day physicists call this curse the Law of Entropy or the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This law says that all systems run down or deteriorate without additional outside input. This law includes biological, geological, and sociological systems among others, and it is universally accepted by science and easily demonstrated. Yet it is diametrically opposed to evolution. It is final proof that evolution past a certain point is impossible! Modern science, for all its claims to rigorous demands for facts and truth, has chosen to accept the impossible rather than admit to a Creator to whom it would then be answerable. That is why the Bible admonishes us to:

“. . . keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen”
(1 Timothy 6:20–21).
