Recently my son related a simple situation in a scientific program on PBS.
The “scientwists” were walking in a desolate rocky area, when suddenly, one of them spied a rock that had been “chipped” in such a fashion (pre-arrowhead) that it MUST have had human (or humanoid) intervention to be like that. This was considered a terrific FIND!!!!!
THIS???? THIS is what MUST have had some type of intentional intervention? Forgive me, but I am truly under-whelmed at their lack of insight. Not even a scientwist will believe that a simple wooden structure with a roof ( a house) could EVER just spring into being…or that trees will just naturally evolve into a house…it is ridiculous.
They will look at people, at trees, at animals and surmise…" This sprang into being from the primordial soup and then evolved into all the wondrous things in our world”…but the partially chipped rock--THAT must have had an intelligent intervention…no other possibility.

In any sort of logical thinking, one would have to have a great deal of evolutional faith (for faith it must be, as it remains unproven by scientific method) to embrace the idea that every level of living being from single cell to mankind (the REAL terminology for “human”) somehow formed from goop and some other unexplained magical chemical reactions; then to CONTINUE to “live”, had to progress to a point where it could inter-relate with others (who also “popped” into being). Mind you, flowers (for example) had to “figure out” their color, shape, scent, blossoming period…etc. in order to ATTRACT a SIMILARLY evolving entity--and ALL these things had to be done in time for the entities to be able to REPRODUCE for the next "generation of evolution". Yes, I can see how having FAITH in a Creator is so difficult.

Anything we make with our hands (including those things we manufacture with machines) the “scientwists” will ogle with sheer delight. Those things CREATED by my CREATOR, however, they will look upon and try to explain their existence with pure drivel.


When does one ever go to an amusement park and stand in awe of how wonderful that those amazing rides just sprang into being knowing that if they were colorful enough, and fast enough, with lights and music, PEOPLE would be drawn to them by the droves?
When do we look at a castle in England and are astonished at how awful life must have been until it suddenly appeared?
When we pack our family in the car and take a trip to see Mount Rushmore it isn’t because Mount Rushmore suddenly appeared in finished form.
No, we are amazed at the “creators” of these non-living things, that can easily disappear over time. (Or that we can determine to tear down or destroy at our will.)

I, not being a “scientwist”, need to look no farther than my own body or a tree, or a nest in the tree, to KNOW that their MUST be a Creator of these things. There MUST be an intelligent (super-intelligent) force (with a specific determination for the outcome of the creation) behind these things. The chipped rock--well, I can buy the theory that it MUST have a creator too. I’m sorry for those who can’t see the forest for the trees.




Another thing that has been on my mind of late, is the idea that if evolution were the real deal, then anyone who tried to get well, would be violating the principles of evolution. Going to a doctor would be interfering with the survival of the fittest, wouldn’t it? Everyone is on their own. If they live, they live, if not, so much the better, as the “gene pool” would lose the frailty. I’m not sure, but I think that we would have to live in a lawless society to make room for evolution. Because the main aim in evolution is to “worship” self above all else, how dare we tell someone they can’t have something they want or feel they need. It’s a “self-eat-self” world out there in evolution. There is very little reason to concern one’s-self with other’s well-being. Who knows what greatness humans would achieve if we just let natural evolution take over! Why, the world would be without sickness--any “bad“ gene would die off, without poverty--there is no economic system--take what you want, when you want, without a living soul! Oh yeah, that part. Man became a LIVING SOUL when God breathed the Breath of Life into him. Not to mention the fact that man was created in HIS (meaning God’s) IMAGE.




When I was struggling as a teen, thinking about all the different ’religions’ of the world, and why I should be a Christian--follower of Christ, I investigated other religions. I asked my mother why she had settled on following Christ above all the other choices. Her answer was simple. She explained that supposing that Christianity (Christ) was false, that even so, the lifestyle one would adhere to, based on Biblical teachings, would STILL bring the most blessings to anyone’s life, that it was a good moral code--even without Christ in it, but then giving Christ His proper place in one’s life would give everything a reason and a meaning. [If someone lives life according to Christian principle--even without Christ--they will lead a “good” life--not a SAVED life, but a good life.
With Christ there is REDEMPTION. With REDEMPTION the love and care for others, in Christ’s name, follows. ]




The teachings in the Bible are True…following Christ is Truth. “True”, in and of itself, is not necessarily good or bad--“Truth” is what sets you free.
