If a Text of God Actually Exists

Around the world, two worldviews coexist: “creationism and evolutionary theory.”

In modern education systems, textbooks are structured around theories that can be scientifically explained through the analysis and review of data. Therefore, creationism, which has not been substantively proven, is excluded, while evolutionary theory, which is supported by various forms of scientific evidence, including observations and experiments, is described as the central theory.

Aerospace engineering and astronomy also follow the same framework.

Modern science explains the origin of the universe through the Big Bang theory. Within this framework, it is understood that elements essential to sustaining human life—such as carbon, phosphorus, and oxygen—were formed through stellar evolution and supernova explosions, and that life subsequently emerged and gradually changed over time.

This is a perspective that interprets human existence as the result of natural and continuous “evolution.”

However, an important question arises at this point.

Did evolution begin “from nothing,” or was it a process of change that began with life that already existed?

The evidence for evolution demonstrated by modern science does not show that a living organism suddenly appeared from a state in which no life existed at all.

Rather, it is closer to a record showing that already existing life forms adapted to their environments over thousands, tens of thousands, or even millions of years, while their physical structures and functions changed and developed.

In other words, fossil records, genetic mutations, and gradual changes in physical structures demonstrate that “evolution occurred,” but they do not provide a clear answer as to how the very first life itself began.

At this point, an interpretation of “evolution after creation” becomes possible.

If the first life came into existence through creation and, over the course of time that followed, diversified into various forms of life through processes of environment, selection, and change, then creationism and evolutionary theory would not necessarily be explanations that deny one another.

Rather, they could be understood as explanations of successive stages.

In other words,

creation explains the beginning, and evolution explains change.

The evidence presented by evolutionary theory is not evidence that “creation did not occur.”

Rather, it may also be interpreted as describing how created life functioned and changed over time.

• If a text of God actually exists, and if that record is a record of fact rather than symbolism or mythology, its content should not be a mere declaration, but should be able to explain the creation of the universe, the origin of life, and even the subsequent process of change as a single continuous narrative.

If so, the following conditions would be required:

• Creationism must go beyond the realm of faith and present a verifiable framework.

• The universe must have an intentional point of origin rather than one that arose by chance.

• The history of the Earth and the process of change in life must be capable of reinterpretation within the flow of “evolution after creation.”

If such a structure were proven, the world’s understanding of history would be fundamentally reorganized, and the basic assumptions of modern science—including aerospace engineering, astronomy, geology, and biology—would inevitably have to be comprehensively rewritten.

This is not merely a matter of religious assertion, but an event that would change the very way human beings understand the origin of humanity and the reasons for its existence, and would become a turning point that shakes the entire framework of civilization’s understanding.
