Meet Ardi,
the oldest "human" skeleton. Admittedly I'm no scientific expert, but
many parts of evolutionary theory just don't make sense to me. Are
there any other species that lived 4 million years ago that have
managed to survive all the natural disasters and ice ages to evolve
into vastly superior beings, or are humans supposed to be the only
species out of thousands and thousands of others to achieve this? I
mean if the natural trend of life is to evolve, where are all the
talking reptiles?
I'm not decrying species adaptation, but is it possible there were
species similar to humans that went extinct, like many others that
existed millions of years ago have, and then humans were created as a
new species? I guess I'm attempting to bridge the "gap" between
science and religion.
I do believe that God created all life, and made humans special
compared to other life on Earth by infusing us with the power to
reason, and writing His law upon our hearts. So often people try to
separate reason, or science, and religion into combating spheres, but
they do not exist apart. God gave us reason to figure out the
mysteries of the universe. Without God there is no science.
If the "laws of science" were just a wee bit different, there would be
no life in the universe. There would be no universe. The universe is designed in such a way, as is DNA is designed in such a way, that life is allowed to exist. Such design lends proof to a designer.
Atheists, who rely heavily on science in the absence of God, have never
been able to prove how the vast expanse of the universe suddenly
appeared from nowhere. I guarantee you that if you take an empty box,
and somehow manage to suck out every atom and molecule of air, then
wait around for millions of years, the box will still be empty when you
come back. Even the smallest of molecules known to man do not just
appear out of nowhere. It's a scientific impossibility. So if it's
scientifically impossible for something to appear from nothing, then
even the molecules that supposedly collided to form the universe in the
"Big Bang" had to be created right?
Somebody get Richard Dawkins to perform this science project and see
how it turns out. And tell him to keep his mouth shut until the end of
the experiment.
