I have to disagree with evolution. Yes I agree it is possible and God could of used that to his means, but there are scientific and biblical oppositions to evolution.
For the evolution of man, yes. But not for the evolution of species.
Have you ever wondered why there is all kinds of fossil and DNA proof that certain every day creatures evolved from certain ancient creatures? But there is no corresponding evolutionary track from ancient “man” to us and scientists are always looking for that elusive “missing link?” It’s because there is no evolution of man – no missing link. If we date back to our biological roots of Adam and Eve, then our species is really only about 6000 to 8000 years old – a mere eye blink in a true evolutionary track.
I still maintain that evolution of species is all part of God’s plan, just as the non-evolution of “man” is also part of it. You simply cannot dismiss evolution as a sham because it’s right there in front of us. There absolutely HAS to be a reason for it. Remember, the Bible covers the last 6000 to 8000 years. It covers the entirety of civilization. But the earth is billions of years old – that’s been proven. The earth was populated by millions of species that have been extinct for millions and millions of years – that’s been proven. It stands to reason then, that the creation didn’t span 168 actual hours over 7 days…it spanned millions, even billions of years. What hasn’t been proven and never will, is that man evolved over that same millions of years.
So, by the same token, creationism cannot be dismissed either, as much as hard-core scientists and atheists would like to. With our technology and abilities these days, if there was a missing link to irrevocably link us to early man, we would have found it already. Period. The very fact that we have not, indicates that there is no evolutionary link between us and early man to be found. Oh scientists can say they’re close to discovering it and we’re a close enough match to early man to “assume” that it is the truth. But that’s like me saying the number 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 is close to the number 1, simply because they are both numbers.
So why is it a difficult concept for people to accept that God has both sides covered? I don’t ask that to be confrontational…I point it out because it bears out why I believe what I believe. If you restrict God to what our narrow mortal minds can comprehend, then it’s virtually impossible to grasp or even accept without understanding, things that God is capable of. I look at who God is…He is the creator of all things…He is never-ending. I believe that He is logical and that there is a reason behind everything. I believe He has a wonderful sense of humor, too. How else would you explain the platypus?
And while I don’t claim to understand how evolution fits into things, I can at least grasp the idea that somehow, He has it all working. That enables me to take a guess at it, at least, which is all that I’ve done. Am I right? Only God knows. The rest of us will not know those answers until we pass beyond our mortal life. But in the meantime, it makes for interesting conversation.
I’m off to work. It’s the start of another glorious week…of 90+ degree temperatures, oppressive jungle-like humid heat, and tornados. Aaah, to live in the Midwest. :roll: I might have to hole up in the bat cave for a couple of months until fall.
