Jehovah Is Our Creator

¹ Millions of people believe that God created life. Many others believe in evolution. Then there are those who are not sure what to believe. The book Life​—How Did It Get Here? By Evolution or by Creation? is for all such people. This publication presents a thoroughly researched explanation of how life got here and what this means for our future. During June, we will be featuring this fine book.

² Even prominent ones in the scientific community have acknowledged the book’s logic. One scientific researcher in the Netherlands wrote: “This book really does exceed all expectations. The logical buildup of the chapters and the illustrations are scientifically so up-to-date that you would have to be blind to raise any objections to them.” An attorney declared: “I have read it four times and continue to be impressed with the depth of study, scholarship, and documentation that went into its production.” So we can be confident that yet others will appreciate this book.

³ You might choose to make a brief presentation like this:

◼ Open to page 6, and say: “Many people think that our beautiful earth and life upon it resulted from an accident. What do you consider to be a reasonable explanation as to how all of this came about? [Allow for response.] Mountains of evidence confirm the Bible’s account of a Creator who not only is very powerful but also loves us very much. He is the true God, and his name is Jehovah.” Read Psalm 83:18, and briefly explain how it is his purpose to transform the entire earth into a paradise.

⁴ If you want to come to the point quickly, you might say:

◼ “Have you ever wondered about this question?” Point to the title of the book, turn to page 7, read the questions in paragraph 2, and explain that the book provides satisfying answers from the Bible.

⁵ Or you might try this:

◼ “Did you ever wonder how the earth came into existence? Many insist that it is the result of some colossal cosmic explosion. What do you think? [Allow for response.] The Bible teaches that God created the earth as our everlasting home. It is different from the other planets in our solar system. As far as we know, it is the only one in the universe that has all the complex provisions needed to sustain life.” Turn to paragraph 5 on page 130, and explain why the earth must be the work of a Master Designer.

⁶ Another approach might be something similar to this:

◼ “Some people think that we evolved from ape-men. They claim that our ancestors looked like this. [Show the picture on page 89.] What do you think about that?” Allow for response. Point out what is stated in paragraph 20, and then read Acts 4:24, which identifies Jehovah as our Creator and Life-Giver. “This book examines the entire theory of evolution in relation to what is stated in the Bible.” Refer to table of contents on page 5, and point out some titles, such as those for chapters 1, 7, 15, and 19.

⁷ This book can be a blessing to sincere people who have been deceived by those without faith in Jehovah or his Word. The factual information the Creation book contains can help such ones to grow in appreciation for our Creator, who lovingly cares for us.

Help Those Without Faith

¹ In this day and age, it has become popular to be viewed as educated and progressive in thinking. Human philosophies and fanciful theories are extolled, while spiritual values are ignored. Sincere people who are interested in simple facts and understandable truths will welcome the opportunity to examine the book Life​—How Did It Get Here? By Evolution or by Creation? This book can help those who lack faith. (Rom. 1:19, 20) Be sure to make return visits on all those who express interest.

² You might begin your discussion this way:

◼ “I’m sure you are aware that many educators support the belief that the human family got here by evolution. It teaches that everything exists by accident. How do you feel about that? [Allow for response.] This idea is still referred to as a theory. A theory is ‘a speculation’ or ‘an unproved assumption.’ For centuries men believed that the earth was flat; now we know that was a foolish assumption not based on fact. Could the same be true of the theory of evolution?” Read the introductory comments on page 4, and then discuss Isaiah 42:5.

³ Or you might take this approach when you return:

◼ “It is common to meet people who do not believe in God. Years ago, that was very rare. Why do you think so many have lost faith in God? [Allow for response.] Many attribute their loss of faith to the appalling increase in violence and distress in our world. They reason that if there is an almighty God, why doesn’t he put an end to all this suffering? Those who can’t find a satisfying answer to that question often become atheists. But there is overwhelming evidence to prove that God exists and that he will soon make the earth a place of happiness and peace.” Continue the discussion by using the Scriptural thoughts found in paragraph 19 on page 196.

⁴ With your Bible in hand, you might open the conversation by saying:

◼ “We are calling again to point out why a study of the Bible is practical for our times. Most people have a Bible, but few take time to read it. Some frankly tell us that they don’t have much confidence in the Bible anymore. How do you feel about that? [Allow for response.] One of the things that convinces us that the Bible is the inspired Word of God is the fulfillment of its prophecies.” Refer to Scripture texts in paragraph 6 on page 234.

⁵ This thought might get a favorable response:

◼ “We can see beauty and marvelous evidence of wisdom in the things that surround us on this earth. This lovely picture of a sunset is a fitting example.” Show the illustration on pages 12 and 13. Mention points from “Some Things to Think About,” and explain how this book provides satisfying answers to vital questions about our world.

⁶ We can be a blessing to others by using this book to help them find a solid basis for faith in their Creator.
