It doesn’t seem to make any sense to argue against the theory of evolution in the face of overwhelming evidence, according to certain atheists – and their relatives.
They believe in the conclusiveness of natural selection, over time, disregarding the creation – in the scriptures.
This resistance of the scriptures against creation, for them, works differently in people.
Many resist the Lord because He’s not giving them what they want, or allowing them to do what they like.
Though resistance of the Lord varies, including faith resistant, refusal to pray, listen, want or desire anything about the Lord and His word.
But in explaining one thing, there can be different angles to it.
A brutal authoritarian leader, responsible for deaths and disappearance may be called a psychopath, mercurial or other fancy names but it may be infrequent to describe in knowledge literature as evil.
It is natural for all humans to make observations. Some are far better than others in that regard. It is also normal for people to discover things, through experiences, age, visits, learning, etc.
There are observations that are counter to the fact – even if the observation description seems plausible.
There are discoveries that are predictable – if the right things are put in place.
It is almost totally impossible, for a knowledge individual – making their mark, not to look and connect smaller species to larger ones, given the diversity of living things.
It is also easy to notice changes and variations then convincingly describe why they are like that, or for what – in a comprehensive way.
But how complete is the theory of evolution?
Yes, there are archaeological finds, carbon dating, etc. but how about the possibility to simulate live evolution – naturally or artificially?
How about the possibility to find what species are still evolving to another that can be found and noted?
How about looking again that natural selection will work for none if hostility of habitat is that grim?
There are many questions people have about the creation, but it is easier to believe therein than to ignore all the questions with the origin of species.
A true Christian may talk about evolution not debating the science, but Jehovah made this world.
It is the possession of the Lord, made for His pleasure. All history, all knowledge, all space, all power, everything is of the Lord’s ownership.
[Psalm 135:6, Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did He in heaven, and in the earth, in the seas, and all deep places.]
Yes, there is autonomy on the earth – given – to humans, and the nature of the Lord does not change, but Jesus reigns.
[Psalm 115:16, The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the earth hath He gave to the children of men.]
The human mind that is not beyond the last breath is incapable of deciphering Yahweh’s Almightiness.
[Psalm 97:4, His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw and trembled.]
Intelligence that humans have which other animals don’t have, then intelligence that some extraordinary people have, then even more aspects where some people consult beyond flesh and blood.
There are so many people around the world who have certain kinds of power and believe they can know and what they say or do is final, but anything in this world can be deceptive.
In fact, it may be easier to say that deception is the true survival of the fittest than to point to evolution.
Why do people live in this world? Probably to make it – a little more good – than when they came; probably to choose a path, afterwards towards the Maker or elsewhere, probably for other reasons.
But life here is more of a purpose to live for the future than for the past or allowing those questions distort eternity.
It is difficult to not see future concerns – extensively – from animals, but just humans.
Or maybe animals careless about the future because they know they’ll evolve to something else, so why should humans? If there’ll be survival of the fittest from whatever may happen soon, or later.
The gulf between purposes, passion, intelligence, etc. from what they said people evolved from is vast.
Also, why just male and female forms exist, or why there aren’t three ears, or growing tails, or evolution induction drivers, or maybe there’s a pause, or maybe it’s not continuous, or maybe it never happened.
If the answer is that’s not the point, maybe the point is that questions against evolutionary biology are not allowed.
[Genesis 1:3, And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.]
