Spirit of Leadership

THE SPIRIT OF LEADERSHIP and human beings. Some creationists believe that the Creator made the world and then left it to its own devices, while others believe that the Architect of the earth is still actively involved in it and made humanity with a specific nature and purpose. This concept supports the idea that every person has a role and contribution to make, no matter what their station in life and current level of ability. W E ARE THE PRODUCTS OF A HIGHLY INTELLIGENT AND CREATIVE S UPREME B EING . Evolution is still a theory. It has not been proven. There is no hard evidence to verify its claims. It’s a very interesting premise, yet I believe that the experience and makeup of the human creature defies the evolutionary concept. The intri cate design of human beings and the orderly nature of the universe don’t support it. The alternative is that there must have been a higher, more sophisticated creative process than the arbitrary pro cess of evolution. The ancient writings, as recorded in the first book written by Moses, present a more plausible and rea sonable explanation of our origins: We are the products of a highly intelligent and creative Supreme Being. The proposi tion in the first two chapters of Genesis is that God personally and purposefully created human beings in his own image and likeness and then told them to be fruitful, fill the earth, and rule over it. They were to be stewards of the earth, responsible for its care and well-being. We should note that the Creator designed human beings in his image and likeness after he made the vegetation and the animals, specifically separating them from the rest of creation in some important ways.
