Hi folks,
This morning I was cooking up some eggs for breakfast. Eggs are the embryos of chickens, right?
We live in a world that teaches that we evolved from chickens. So the logic, of course I'm speaking for those who don't believe that a supernatural being created us in His image, taking the egg from a woman really, morally, isn't any different than going out to the henhouse and collecting eggs.
So there is a lot that we give up when we don't teach that we are, as the Scriptures claim, made in God's image. Animals aren't made in God's image. Honestly, as far as I'm aware, animals weren't created to be eternal beings. So the fact that there may have been death in the animal world, before the sin of man came to be, is a real possibility that would not wholly deny the truth of God's word. Although that's a discussion for another thread.
We need to teach and proclaim that we, human beings, did not evolve from some other life form for whom God really doesn't care for, as He cares for us. Evolution is a lie, as it has any relation to human beings. Now, there may be cases that some change in an animal was caused by some change in DNA or whatever over the last 6,000 years. But honestly, I would say only very, very small changes. As far as there being some whole new 'kind' of animal evolving from some other animal, no, that's never happened. Sure, a fish, still as a fish, may have evolved some adaptation to its fins or scales or something. But for a fish to become a dog ever... Nah!
Anyway, I'm headed off to worship the God who created all this realm and give Him the glory and praise and adoration that He deserves at least once a week from me. Participating with a body of like believers to proclaim that man is different from all the other animals in the created realm because man is created in the image of the one that we praise, worship and adore.
But, in denial of God's truth, we teach that the universe and the earth and all that is on it has existed for millions and billions of years. That allows us to make up all these ideas. But if we stick with what God's word tells us, less than 10,000 years is not enough time for much evolution to take place.
However, as the Scriptures seem to pretty clearly explain, the vast majority of the people who pass by in life on this earth, aren't going to have that worldview. Why not? Because science has 'proven' that it just can't be so.
God bless each and every one of you.
