The Enemy:

Death By Mr. Michael Fieberkorn

“And the last enemy to be destroyed is death.” (1 Corinthians 15:26)

ou’ve heard the story since you read your first dinosaur book in kindergarten:“It is a scientific fact that dinosaurs lived millions of years ago and died out long before man was around.”Wait a minute. How can anyone know this? Was anyone there millions of years ago to observe whether or not this so-called fact is a true statement? Or do scientists just think this? Quite obviously, no one can possibly know this. The statement above is grounded in a worldview based on evolutionary theory (not fact), which never agrees with the Bible. Very simply, what evolution teaches and what the Bible teaches are at odds with each other, especially when we consider the topic of death. Evolution teaches that death preceded sin, but the Bible clearly teaches that death was a consequence of sin.There is a difference; it does matter.
