How did humans and everything else come into existence? This question has been asked over the years. With theory through science, some of the question is answered but remains a mystery. My thoughts bring a smile to my face for I believe we know not what we assume to know. A rather bold statement I admit and truly, this is an assumption on my part. I look at the debate between Creation and the theory of Evolution a good example of knowledge, which is questionable. When we began this study of life, we saw a video on Creation vs. the Theory of Evolution. The theory is taught in schools and in colleges and even promoted in the media. The Creation account of existence of life is not “politically acceptable”. Therefore, it is not found in the public education arena. As humans, we seek knowledge to make us more productive and value originated. However, the knowledge I feel that is needed is not given creating a disastrous result. I think of the theory of evolution which was introduced by Charles Darwin in 1859 no provable evidence supports his theory. The two step process of our existence; in the beginning, about four billion years ago, the air is unfit to breathe. The young earth is without life. The sun beats down; storms lash the coasts; volcanoes pour hissing lava into the ocean’s waters. These natural jolts fuse simple molecules into more complex ones. Amino acids are formed, and then interact with each other, and primitive protein is fashioned, perhaps as a worm-like molecule. Somehow, the right molecules get together and the first living cell appears. This first living cell is the great ancestor of all plants and animals on earth, including man. From this first cell, all other forms of life evolved. This tiny first living cell is the father of us all! As time went on, this first cell developed into amoeba-like organisms and other primitive creatures that could survive in the ocean. After millions of years, these creatures evolved into fish. Some of these fish developed lungs so that they could survive outside of the water. Gradually they began to make their way onto land as the first amphibians. These amphibians then evolved into reptiles and the earth soon became populated with great dinosaurs. Some of these reptiles started to develop legs that could move around better, and these creatures became what we today would call mammals. Other reptiles developed wings. One of these early mammals was known as a tree shrew. He was not much larger than a squirrel and in many ways looked like a squirrel. This creature lived in trees and gradually evolved into primitive monkeys and other apelike creatures. From these apelike creatures there evolved two major groups; One the great apes that we can see in zoos today, such as the gorilla, orangutan, gibbon and chimpanzee. Two a creature who came down from the trees and who started walking upright, all monkeys and apes walk on all fours. He is now known as Man! There are many problems with the theory of evolution, it is impossible for life to come from non-life. Evolutionists teach that the first living cell evolved from non-life. There is no evidence that this ever happened. Life does not just happen by chance. There is no evidence that amphibians evolved into reptiles. There is no evidence that reptiles evolved into mammals. There is no evidence that reptiles evolved into birds. Yet this is widely accepted, this knowledge of how we came into existence. Creation is the reason we have life on this planet animal life, plant life, human life is because the Creator made it so. God created all plants and all living creatures. There are variations found in the various "kinds" of animals, which God created. For example, think of all the varieties of dogs. Think of all the varieties of cats. Think of all the varieties of humans. All humans came from the same parents Adam and Eve and yet we do not all look alike different colored skin, different eyes. God has made the various kinds of animals with great genetic potential for variation. He did this for humans as well. However, one kind of animal does not change into another kind. Animals always reproduce "after their kind" (Genesis 1:11, 21, 25). Lizards do not change into birds. Reptiles do not evolve into lions. Dogs do not evolve into cats. Land mammals do not change into whales. Eels do not evolve into snakes. Apes do not evolve into humans. Every creature on earth shows evidence of amazing design. Think of the web-making capability of the spider, the defensive mechanism of the skunk, the amazing design found in every animal that is able to fly. If there is Design, then should not there be a Designer? Suppose you came across a beautiful work of art. You ask the owner of its origin, "Who created this beautiful work of art?" The owner says, "No one it just happened by chance. One day I dropped some tools accidental resulted in this." Would you believe it? Knowledge is taught to our future generations, which are unreal as the story above. The truth of how and who we really are is a mystery but having faith leads me to believe in Creation which ispolitically unacceptable. The scientific fields of study have fed the evolutionary fires of knowledge, which they know not what they know. CommentsLeave a Reply | ArchivesNovember 2011 |
