Evolution is a lot more viable than the belief that living things appear magically out of nowhere.
Tell me where the stuff that distilled into pond scum that turned into utterly complex living creatures (all by accident)come from? (violates the law of entropy, no?)
Yeah, I know, the big bang, prime atom, etc etc etc, but where did they come from? If you say there was a precursor to the precursor I'll still ask “and where did that come from”? (violates the law of conservation of energy, no?)
Actions require an Actor. His name is Jesus Christ, the great I AM. My faith is much less difficult to enter into than yours-yours being accidental and all; mine being deliberate and an act of love.
He created-yes, out of an unfathomable ability compared to what we know as mankind. It is the only answer to origins that satisfies me. I am valuable-a specially crafted person; not an accident, worth only my weight in cheap chemicals, life is much much more than that!
Ridicule now if you must. I can take the heat!
Do you have any clue just what a non sequitur that is? Staunch Darwinsts would be appalled. For years, when creationists would point out the impossibility of spontaneous generation, Dwarnists would ridicule that as confusing the origins of life with the development of life. You can't play the game if you don't know the rules! :)
An odd definition of viable, since regardless of the belief in evolution or not, in truth living things did appear magically out of nowhere.
by a loose definition of the term “magic”, which can also describe where each of us “came from”, little one-celled organisms growing into functional human beings.
Currently, there is little difference between the two schools of thought, unless evolutionists can propose a plausible mechanism for evolution, while also explaining the fact that the fossil record overwhelmingly demonstrates stasis in species.
If you want to believe that species appear by some magical evolutionary process, be my guest. But don't claim that your belief is anything other than materialist dogma.
The fact is, the current scientific evidence points nowhere and everywhere. The debate regarding human origins is wide open.
Actually, the evolutionist believes that entire sequences of random 1 in 1,000,000,000,000 happenings happened orderly, one after the other, randomly - the equivalent of someone winning a the lotto jackpot every week for 1,000 years out of sheer happenstance (except the odds of the latter are far more probable).
