Evolution?

Last night I was watching the Discovery channel. They had programs about the wildlife throughout the world living in extreme environments. It always amazes me how they can survive in the extreme cold or the desert heat, high in the mountains or the extreme depths of the oceans. How they evolved on their own to live in all these various places.

And I look at the great variety of the wildlife in the world, the variety of plant life, the insects and birds. How did all this happen? To have all started from one little microbe! It just boggles the mind to think of it, that without any help from anywhere this could all have evolved on it own.

Then I look at the sky. I see the stars. And what I can't see, I can search for pictures taken with powerful telescopes to see the galaxies, the nebulae and all the other wonders in the universe. And this all happened on it's own. Spontaneously. With no outside help this all came to be.

The universe, the earth and all that is in it, just seems to be designed in such a deliberate, thoughtful manner that I can't help but to know that God created it all. He deliberately created each and every star in the sky, every galaxy, every particle of matter spinning through the universe with great precision.

I never studied Statistics and Probabilities, but I've heard the experts, In a few cases and taking just one instance, calculate the probability of just one of these instances to happen on it's own and the number is just immense! The is no chance that it could have happened on it's own. God just had to have done it.

Take for example, the earth and moon spinning around the sun. The sun's mass has to be exactly right in relation to the earth's mass and the moon's. The distance of the earth and the sun has to be exactly right, the speed has to be exactly right for everything to work the way it should for there to be life here on earth. And that's just a very few things. Just think of everything that has to be put together, and get it exactly right for everything to work. As long as scientists have studied the heavens and the earth, they've understood very little. We never will understand it all. It's all just to complex. What we can see is that is also perfect, if it wasn't, it would all come crashing together and we would have never existed.

So when you look at the stars, or take a walk on the woods. When you see the smile of a child, just think of God's wonderful creation all around you, and that it didn't just evolve, it could only have been created, deliberately and perfectly. It's all to complex and precise to have not been created by God.

Darwin had it wrong. If things would have just evolved it would be a big  mess, (just look at the kitchen after a big dinner).

Go out now and enjoy all of God's creation and each and every day that He has given to you.

  1. Only God could have created the beauty and complex things in this world and even the simple... watching a small bird dive in a huge wave and come up completely un-bothered while that same wave knocks a human off kilter, God's creation indeed!
