Thoughts on the THEORY of evolution

Spend the next few minutes using your own brain and your common sense. Whatever you do don't rely on what others have taught you, just use the part of your brain that discerns truth.

Imagine that you are walking through the forest and you stumble upon an old television set. It is mostly buried so you dig it up and examine it. Taking it apart you discover the complexity of its construction, the detailed circuit boards, the resistors, capacitors, transistors, and integrated circuits. You decide that it is an important find so you haul it to your local university and find a professor who can help you determine the device's origin.

The professor looks at your discovery with interest, and you ask, "Did this device evolve from something simpler, or was it designed by an engineer?" He ponders the question then answers, "Without question, it was created by an engineer, someone designed and manufactured it."

You reach into your back pocket and present a screwdriver. "What about this?" you say.

He takes the tool, and turning it over in his hands he sees that it is made up of metal, plastic, and rubber, "This also has been engineered." he says with absolute certainty.

You go to his bookshelf and withdraw a book on human anatomy. You show him the detailed description of the human eye and then the brain, and then you both examine the inner workings of a single cell. The complexity of a single cell is far beyond the scope of the hundreds of pages contained within the book. You look him square in the eye and say, "I am far more complex than a screwdriver, and even the engineering contained in that television pales compared to the inner workings of a human being. Did I evolve from a simpler life form, or was I designed by an engineer?"

The professor doesn't hesitate, "You are a product of evolution."

This is what we are taught. Something as simple as a screwdriver could never evolve from the natural world, but the complex machine that is a human being is said to be a product of random chance and chaos. They say that given enough time anything is possible with evolution, but given enough time a screwdriver would never form from the rock, sand, and water. No amount of fiddling with these elements would ever create a screwdriver, even in a controlled laboratory environment, and any scientist that said it could would be laughed at by his peers, but the thought that you and I came from slime is given full credibility.

I have purposely not referenced anything from the Bible, or from the scientific community, or indeed from the Internet itself. This is just an exercise in common sense. Think for yourself and you may discover that not only is there a God, but it is impossible to deny His existence with anything less than pure blind faith. Evolution requires more faith than Intelligent Design. For the sake of your future, don't continue to deny God, He is waiting for you to seek Him and when you do He will reveal Himself to you.
