The Answer!

Biblical Creation vs. Evolution

And Biblical Christianity vs. other non-Biblical belief systems

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

The answer is included below (some reading and analysis is necessary to get there!) via the process of elimination, logical analysis, observation, proof upon proof, and ultimately faith (no matter which answer is selected).

Proof #1 (Evolution is false, and not the answer)

If you had a large jar with a lid on it, with absolutely nothing inside: In 1 million, or 100+ billion years, would there ever suddenly be earth, life, humans, plants, animals, math, love, the concept of time, beautiful sunrises, thunder, rain, lightning, snow, waves to surf, and (somewhat unfortunately) liberal/non-Biblical belief systems inside? Note: there was also no air or even "space" inside of the jar, for each of the above physical items!

Evolution: Absolutely nothing all of a sudden exploded (big bang!) into everything - life, and incredibly ordered systems (beyond comprehension) throughout the universe? Do explosions create order or disorder?

Explosion: There are many options for researching the meaning of a word (merriam-webster.com, thefreedictionary.com, brittanica.com, etymonline.com, and others). One interesting option is wikipedia's definition of an explosion: "For an explosion to occur, there must be a rapid, forceful expansion of matter." So, according to wikipedia's definition (and surely many, or most other sources), matter, and all of the non-physical aspects of our world and the universe, including life, love, math, space, time and other non-physical things, were initially created by matter exploding! So, matter exploded to create the initial matter of the universe and all non-physical things in the universe?

Again: Where did space, life, love, math, time, matter, beautiful music and sunrises, and the many other amazing things in our lives and our world actually come from? And, how are we here, alive, on a planet, in the middle of a universe with an innumerable number of stars and planets, with the ability to think, create, remember, see, hear, taste, and eat so many different foods appropriate for our taste and our nutritional needs?

Proof #2 (Evolution is false, and not the answer)

There are so many concurrently present, functioning, and interconnected systems in our bodies required for life! Without any one of these systems (ten of which, of surely thousands upon thousands, are included below), human life does not exist.

A heart, and an active heart beat (over 3 billion heartbeats in a lifetime!) ¹
Lungs, active breathing, air, and water (our lungs are something like 83% water, but we breathe in air?) ¹
Digestive functions (teeth to chew; enzymes in our saliva; stomach acid/hydrochloric acid, which normally causes severe skin burns and irritation, but our stomach lining is somehow protected; pancreatic enzymes, and a pancreas to produce them; the kidneys and liver for further processing foods and nutrients, and eliminating toxic substances; small intestine, large intestine, on and on...)
Foods available to us with over 50,000 currently known health promoting nutritional components
Over 75 currently known hormones ¹, which regulate thousands of bodily functions (individual hormones often regulate, or help regulate, many different bodily functions; what if even one of the 75+ currently known hormones were simply not present?)
Over 200 bones ¹ and 600 muscles ²
Over 45 miles (miles!) of nerves ¹, and over 60,000 miles (miles!) of blood vessels ²
The typical adult human body consists of about 30 trillion (30,000,000,000,000!) human cells and about 38 trillion (38,000,000,000,000!) bacteria. ¹
Systems for transporting nutrients and wastes in and out of our cells (68 trillion nutrient and waste transport systems per human, for each of the 8.25 billion+ humans on earth , ¹, and each with different fingerprints as well?) - incalculable details (surely trillions upon trillions of highly ordered and interconnected systems and details. And, not only that, trillions upon trillions x 2 (or a much higher number; more information on this is included, below, in Proof #3) and impossible probability of such order and detail created out of absolutely nothing, no matter how many years old "the experts" claim the earth and the universe to be! And, we have not even gotten to Dr. Ben Carson's video on the brain yet, below.
Systems for repairing and replacing old and damaged cells (for 68 trillion cells!). Where do the appropriate "instructions" and the appropriate "raw materials" for doing so come from? And, how are the instructions for these processes automated and regulated (overproduction vs. underproduction)?
On and on...

Video: Dr. Ben Carson explains the complexity ("hundreds of billions of interconnections") of brain function required to simply raise your hand.

What about the level of brain function required not just to simply raise your hand, but to play thousands of notes of beautiful music (beautiful to our ears), by ear (without sheet music), improvised, together with someone else, in duet form?

Proof #3 (Evolution is false, and not the answer)

OK, somehow all of the above interconnected essential systems and essential processes for human life just evolved together all at once (or in an appropriate sequence), and boom!, there was human life on Earth! But wait...

There are also male and female humans, with different, but exactly compatible human physiology (in so many different ways) for producing offspring!
Additionally, the first male and female humans on this huge planet would have had to have evolved at the exact same time!
And, they would have had to connect with each other (without cell phones, the Internet, or cars to do so!) in the exact same location on Earth, which has a circumference of about 25,000 miles! ¹
The same goes for every animal and (most, all, or close to all) plant species, as well!
And bacteria and other microorganisms, each with ordered, functional, physical systems and structures too!
All ... out of absolutely nothing?

Proof #4: And Then There's The Bible

Video: The Bible is not just a book; there's never been another book like it.

The (Protestant) Bible is 66 different writings arranged into one book, written by 40 different people, over 1,500 years. It has proven (time and again) to be historically accurate, and it contains over 300 prophesies (foretellings of future events) from the Old Testament which were fulfilled by Jesus in the New Testament.

Proof #5: Eternal Wisdom and Truths

Humans 1,900 to 3,500 years ago must have been extremely wise to have come up with the many timeless, eternal truths shared within the pages of the Book of Proverbs and each of the other writings included in the Bible!

Proof #7: Testimonies of Believers

Billions of testimonies of successfully leaving all kinds of unhealthy habits, thoughts, and actions behind (Christian testimonies, Christian healing testimonies).
How the 12 Apostles of Jesus lived out their lives

Video: Br. Tony Spell of Life Tabernacle Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, during the worst of all things covid, going to church to preach with a court-ordered ankle monitor on, after being ordered not to do so by an unconstitutional judge, with the threat of 4-5 months (or years, or decades) of immediate imprisonment. God intervened - the judge did not imprison him.

Psalm 27:4-6: One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.

Proof #9: Biblical Information and Resources

Video: What a Beautiful Name (Nothing Can Stand Against), by Anne & Elizabeth Wilson and Friends

The Answer: Jesus!

Philippians 2:9-11 (KJV): Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Outside Of Time + Name Meaning:

Matthew 1:21: Thou Shalt Call His Name Yeshua (or Yehoshua, or Yahshua), later transliterated (represented as letters corresponding to characters of another alphabet, such as the English language, from Biblical languages) to Jesus. Yeshua translated means "YHVH (pronounced Yehovah, which, itself means 'I Am That Which I Am') Is Salvation" ... or "I Am That Which I Am, God of Your Fathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob - Salvation" ... or simply "Salvation," according to following references and other sources of information.

Yeshua name meaning, the literal translation of the name Yeshua (Jesus): the answer, or our answer, to everything - every need we have, whatever our need is, our freedom, our help, our healing, our victory, every single thing in our heart and our lives - our salvation!
Yeshua pronunciation, the likely pronunciation of Jesus' name in Biblical times.
Exodus 3:14: I Am That Which I Am (YHVH, Yehovah, Jehovah, YHWH, YAH, JAH, Yahweh, the LORD)
Exodus 15:2: He Is Become My Salvation
Isaiah 12:2: Behold, God Is My Salvation
Proverbs 18:10: A Tower Of Strength [Is] The Name Of Jehovah, Into It The Righteous Runneth, And Is Set On High
Psalm 118:14: The Lord Is My Strength And Song, And Is Become My Salvation
