The Evolution Of Creative Design

Way back when I was in high-school there came out a scientific report that stated that there was absolutely no proof that grandma's chicken soup ever helped get rid of the common cold.Around ten years after that,another scientific report came out claiming that chicken soup had qualities(heat, hydration, salt and the biologic activities in the soup itself)that actually helped reduce the effects of the common cold virus.

I mention this to bring up two points.First,that science,as it continues to research,will often find out that what it believes to be true at one point,will later discover,at another point,that it is totally wrong(and vise-versa).Secondly,that science is not afraid to admit that it is wrong.What is true today,may not be true tomorrow.

So,can science then be wrong about evolution?Yes,it can be.But do I think it is?No.There is just too much hard evidence to the fact that it probably is not.

Now,the dubious claims that man and ape have a common ancestor may be proven either true or false in the future.I personally believe that man and ape never touched,but if there was a split,it happened much earlier in our designs and make up.Man was never ape-ape was never going to be man.I point to the human fetus as a possible argument for my case.In it's development,the human fetus is said to mimic other less complex life forms,from fish on up.But the fact of the matter is,that the human fetus will only ever grow up to be a human being.

But,this is just my theory.For my purposes,I am going to just come out and say that ape and man are commonly related.I,as a Christian,have no problem with this.Why?Because The Bible tells me so.

What most people don't know is that there are two creation stories in The Bible:Both in Genesis.Most Christians throw bits and pieces of them together to form a theory in which they are most comfortable.But,it is not so easy.

In one version(I am not looking them up for you-go look yourself),after it says that God creates the Earth in pretty much the order that the evolutionists say it was created(pretty damn close-too close- for a people who thought the world was flat when they recorded the Genesis story),God says,"Let us make man(kind) in 'our' image..and God creates them 'male and female'.

Oops.I bet you didn't know that one.God as plural?Create in OUR image?Whoa.Well,it's in there,go look.

The second version has God,when the Earth was still barren,creating Adam out of the dust and breathing life into him.Next God creates 'The Garden' and Adam names all of the animals and finally,out of Adam's rib,God makes Eve.

Well,we all know what happens next.They bite into the apple and are booted out of Eden;they have Cain and Abel,Cain and Abel take wives,and so begins the human race.

Huh?But where did Cain and Able get wives?Have you not been listening?Have you not been reading your Bible?

I think that there are two creation stories in The Bible because there are two creations.The humans created in'our' image,were created last:They were the evolutionary man.It is totally possible,totally within the realm of The Bible,that it is with these human beings that the just kicked out of Eden,Adam,Eve and offspring,mate.In fact:HOW CAN IT NOT BE SO?HOW CAN IT BE OTHERWISE?With who else can Cain and Abel have mated?Give me another good answer.

If you are willing to accept this premise,then much more of Genesis and The Bible make sense.And mankind is now the product of both Adam,Eve and Evolution.Isn't this wonderful?This means that God 'DID' intercede on our behalf.We are of divine origin.
