DISQUS

HA! I never knew about this. Those are wonderful....ly bad.

I must run in different circles because this issue hasn't been on my radar in a long time. I think it is good to distinguish between evolution, the current best scientific theory about how things came to be, and natural selection, which is an ongoing process which, while it can't be proven the way you can prove the rate a ball drops, does seem to be apparent since we see it happening all around us. That's how we've gotten antibiotic resistant bacteria.

What's often not said is that evolution offers NO explanation of how life began. None. And while some evolutionists claim the process is random, that's really not important either. The truth is, natural selection, while brutal, seems to be God's way. As such, speaking against it is like speaking against a mountain. It just is. And because it is, it is true. And if it is true and we believe in God, then it is God's truth.

And if natural selection is happening (and it is) then evolution is simply a larger version of that happening on a grand scale. I think it is beautiful in a hard way, like the way galaxies are born and the way stars die. All things have their time. All things are born in His love but also born to struggle in this life. It all seems to make sense to me.
