Do you Believe Evolution is a Myth?

I heard this one question from a political debate the other night. It really gets me riled up more than I like to admit. It seems when someone is asked this question they feel the responsibility to recoil and back pedal so as not to be thought of as "one of them ignorant religious fanatics that takes everything on faith".

I wish someone on the political scene would be able to take an on the spot stand for what they really believe. I understand the pressure of having a spontaneous answer that sounds intelligent makes it difficult to really address the issue, but if someone could answer this question for me this is what they could say.

Given what we know about irreducible complexity, the genetic burden, the complexity of the millions of bits of information "programmed" into each cell; given what we observe in nature and genetics that every kind of plant and animal produces offspring that is healthy only if it is genetically similar to itself and that there is no reasonable explanation for how each cell's information can be changed by chance to allow an animal to begin to breathe through the top of its head, grow hands instead of wings, grow lungs and gills at the same time so it can transition from water to air oxygen extraction, and given, simple logic declares that no one standing at the base of Mt. Rushmore ever concludes that the faces in the side of that mountain appeared there by chance, likewise the design of every living thing is evidence of a designer, given these things and many others, I consider evolution at best a bad theory and at worst an unscientific hoax disguised in scientific garb and language that has deceived a few generations of aspiring educators and students. (Do not turn me in to my high school English teacher because of this lengthy run-on sentence. I was just expressing some pent up frustration.)

Let's get real personal. Are you telling me that the type of skin that is on those sensitive parts of your body just happened to show up there. If it is by chance how does chance "know" that it is advantageous for that type of skin to be in those places. Chance by definition, "don't know nuttin'". That skin is a design to perpetuate the desire to perpetuate the human race. Where are the transitional forms of mammals that have 3 legs or 1 leg or 5 legs? It seems that there is a design that produces functional mammals with 2 or 4 legs. Evolution defies logic!!!! As each new form developed who did it reproduce with. Especially in those cases when you have changes in numbers of chromosomes. How did those forms transition? When the first living thing appeared what did it eat, ITSELF!!!!

Alexis De Tocqueville in his book Democracy in America cited a case where an American judge refused to admit a man to testify in court because he said he was an atheist. The judge thus concluded the man had destroyed beforehand any confidence the court had in what he was about to say, since he didn't have the sense to believe in God. God has made His existence evident, man is without excuse. Looking at the creation makes it obvious. You can't see it only if you look at things with the presumption there is no God. Can you imagine what the first fish born that could breathe with lungs had to do at birth? Get out of the water! You know there are some very unique forms of life on the earth, some seem to have traits of various types of animals, but there are not true transitional animals with an arm on one side and a wing on the other, hair on one arm and feathers on the other, etc.

We are the most intelligent life forms on the earth, but I cannot figure out how to start breathing through the top of my head. Do we understand all the changes that would just have to fall in place for that to happen!!!!!???!!?? Chance?? If that is chance, then chance is Almighty!! That is DESIGN, coordinated with complimentary parts in all the right places. If it is evolution it is evolution with incredible intelligence and purpose, which by definition it should have neither. How can chance have purpose? If it has purpose or intent it is not chance!!! Somebody rescue me from the insanity of our present day intelligentsia!!!!

The fact that there is design, morals, logic, emotion and compassion for the less fortunate all point to God, rather than survival of the fittest. And the dangers of believing there is no God is that with that belief we can make our own values and destroy the unborn. That is unnatural. There are evident laws of nature and nature's God.

To answer the question. Yeah, I believe evolution is a myth. Why would you believe anything else. What is the "evidence" for evolution? There should be "millions" of transitional forms living among us and in the fossils and it "just ain't there". There should be testable or observable genetic reasons how dogs can change to cats or at least dats. There are many fascinating things in nature, (caterpillars to butterflies for example) but their development and characteristics are all inherent within their genetic code.

Some day just think about what would have to take place step by step for evolution to happen. Things to eat, changes in genetic coding, partners of like kind to perpetuate your existence. If the eye developed by chance why is it located in front of the brain instead in front of the stomach. I tell you it's design!!! And there is a designer. If you want to know Him He revealed Himself in the person of Jesus of Nazareth!! You can read about Him in the Bible. The truth is good. If evolution is true, we have no hope, everything is meaningless. YOU ARE A COSMIC ACCIDENT!!

The truth is you are here because of the creative love of your Heavenly Father. Be Blessed!!
