<TITLE>05. Par 25-31</TITLE>L-25 Now, how nonsense that is. How a man has throwed his life away for nothing, trying to disprove the Word of God, and he's got nothing but just a--a endless destination out of it. And anyone knows that if you'd bury a bone in the ground, within twenty years that bone is turning. Within a hundred years that bone's about gone, just pieces of it, and no matter what condition you'd put it in. See? And then within a thousand years what would that bone be, ten hundred years? Well, what would be ten times that, would be one million? Then fourteen times the million. Oh, my. That... It's just... It's not even sensible to even think of such a thing. A bone would not last fourteen million years under any condition. Anyone knows that. He might've picked up something that looked like a bone or something. And then how well could they tell it was fourteen million years old? See? After all, God made man on the earth six thousand years ago, and that settles it.

L-26 Someone was discussing it with me sometime ago, on one of my meetings. I was speaking on the evolution of man, and said he was only six thousand years old. And this man said, "Well, Brother Branham, we can prove that the world is millions of years old. So the thing that you're talking about, you're all wrong."
I said, "Don't you believe the Bible?"
He said, "I believe that man wrote the Bible."
And I said, "Truly the hand of man formed the letters, but the Holy Spirit was behind the hand (See?), formed the letter, 'cause the Bible said so."
But he said, "Well, there--there... You've got to admit that they're wrong on the world."
I said, "The Bible's never wrong, never wrong."
He said, "Well, if the world," said, "was, you can see the mountains how they was pushed up from volcanic."
I said, "But you just..."
He said, "And God made that world in six days..."
I said, "Now, the Bible didn't say that. See, you just thought it said it." I said, "Let's just go back now to settle your argument. The 1st chapter of Genesis, said, 'In the beginning God created the heavens and earth,' period. How long He was doing it, I don't know. He didn't tell us. But, 'In the beginning God created the heavens and earth,' period. Then, 'And the world was out of form.'" That's when God started to use it. See? So they just beat their brains out for nothing. See, see?

L-31 God made the world. He might've been a hundred trillion years making it; I don't know how long He was, but He made it. And He didn't say how long He was, and it's none of our business how long it was. He just said, "In the beginning God created the heavens and earth," period. That settles it. That's all of it. How long He was doing it, that's... But then the creation begin to spring up now in the other time, when He begin.
And I believe, that in there, that everything on earth reflects heaven. I believe that because that you see everything struggling for life is because that there is a life that it's reflected from. And I believe that when God made the man, He started reflecting the smaller things such as the animal life, and then the next thing He created was something different. That's just exactly the way the Bible says He did it. He made first the trees and the botany life, and He made man. And then the last thing that ever come from the earth in the form of creation was a man, nothing higher ever come. Because why? It was a perfect reflection of the highest in heaven, which, God is a Man. See? God is a Man; so therefore, it proves it. And when God came down to dwell among us, He was a Man. See? A Man, so it shows that the perfection of evolution was God, which is a Man.
