Regarding Evolution


Regarding Evolution:

It never ceases to amaze me how intelligent and insightful Evolution is. Evolution gets credit for everything. Evolution is brilliant; it can actually walk and chew gum all at the same time. Evolution knows exactly what it is doing. Evolution can sing, dance, and conduct symphonies all at the same time across the whole surface of this planet. Evolution never has to backtrack. Evolution can actually turn slime into a frog; no human on this planet is smart enough to do that. Where did it get such brains and smarts? Where did Evolution learn how to be so perfect at what it does? Where did Evolution get its training and skills? Where did Evolution go to school and get all those advanced degrees that it holds? Where did Evolution learn how to do advanced genetic engineering? Where did Evolution learn how to do everything and do it well?

Evolution is immortal. Evolution never gets it wrong, because Evolution is apparently the smartest creation in the universe. I want to go to the same university that Evolution went to, if only I could be so lucky and smart and had eons of time to study and perfect it all. Evolution must be the name of the first immortal cell that intelligently put itself together so that it could live, thrive, and reproduce without killing itself in the process. I'm just in awe at the foresight that Evolution has, if only I could be so crafty, creative, cunning, prophetic, and intelligent. Evolution sounds like it is a godsend, because it knows how to do everything that needs to be done and knows exactly when it needs to be done. I sure would like to have its resume. Let's all raise a salute to Mr. and Mrs. Evolution, the father and mother of all life on this planet. If only you and I could be so perfect and good; but, we're only human after all. Evolution is a god.


Over time, I have noticed that many scientists ascribe prescient cognitive powers to Evolution treating it as if it is intelligent and alive. They often talk about Evolution using the exact same terms that creationists use with God – Evolution did this; Evolution accomplished that; Evolution designed a separate pathway; Evolution created all life on this planet; Evolution took awhile to do all of this but he got the job done in the end; Evolution is true, trustworthy, and supreme. You can count on Evolution to get the job done. I came to realize that for many atheists, Evolution is their god, and they actually personify it and ascribe to it god-like magical powers. Anywhere that they use the word Evolution, you can safely substitute the word God, and their sentences will still make sense. In fact, there are times when their sentences will actually make a lot more sense, if you simply substitute the word "God" for the word "evolution". Try it sometime. You'll be amazed. Now, whenever I see the words "natural selection" or "evolution", I just substitute the word "God"; and, I'm just amazed at how well it works most of the time. We don't have to waste all of our time fighting the Doctrine of Evolution once we realize that Evolution is simply another name for God. Embrace it and go with it. It works for me. See if it will work for you.
