Evolution
It seems that there has been much talk of evolution in our society of late, even Oprah is narrating a special about it. As I think about it I think how absurd! How can people be so gullable to swallow such load of hog wash?
The Big Bang theory: so let me ask some questions: as I understand it our planet was here and a giant meteor hit the earth causing evolution to begin. Did our earth have plant life prior to this meteor? Was there water on the earth prior to that event? Did our earth have gravity prior to this bang? Did ALL life...man and animal evolve out of this bang? Were we already part of this solar system?
If our earth were already part of the Solar System that would suggest that there was already order in the Universe...who established that order? A meteor to start such chain of event would have had to be enormous...where did it hit and why do we not see some type of crater? Actually a meteor that large would have destroyed much of the earth, evoparated any water source. If there were plant life prior to this bang that would suggest that there was already life here as plants are living organisms. If they were not here did the thousands of varietys of plants all come out of one micro-organism..the same one that all other life is suppose to have come from? If evolution is how we came to be why did it stop? Why are not all species still evolving into some greater form?
It is all absurd to me. There is no evidence to support this theory...that is why it is a theory. One scientist said that to put faith in a theory is absurd because there is no or very little data to sustain the theory.
I think it is much easier to believe in God and that He created things as He outlined in the Bible. ALL life shows the hand of a creator for in all life there is order. Order can not come from chaos. In the heavens all things have order and move in order. Some force keeps galaxies, solar systems and worlds together instead of their moving around randomly. Now if there is a God and if He created all things did He do it out of boredom like getting a new toy or would He have had a purpose in creating it?
I believe in God. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Jesus taught that all people may know the truth of this IF they will in all sincerity of heart ponder and pray, asking God if it is not true. But part of wanting to know means that you are willing to live and abide by His counsels and commandments. The answer to prayer comes as personal revelation. One person cannot convince another person it is true only lead that person to discover for themselves the truth of it. Each person must learn it by the power of God which is the Holy Ghost. Jesus told Peter when He asked Peter who he thought Jesus was and Peter responded, The Son of God, that Peter knew this not by any person but by the power of the Holy Ghost which bore that witness to him. When a person receives this witness they know it and it becomes a source of power and commitment in their life.
I bear my witness that God, through His Son, Jesus Christ, created the heavens and the earth ande that there is a divine plan for doing so. We are literally His spirit sons and daughters and He had this earth created for us as a proving ground to see if we would believe in Him and obey Him when no longer in His presence. Another key reason was for us to come and receive physical bodies, bodies that we will have eternally.
The life God lives is family life and therefore He commanded Adam and Eve to bear children. That is why the relationship between man and woman is so sacred and why He forbids sexual relations outside of marriage. To God all life is sacred. We will be held accountable for how we treat it.
When we pass on from this life we return to the presence of God to be jugded according to our works. Those who have been faithful and kept His commandments will dwell with Him in His family eternally. Those who have not been faithful will be given somewhere else to dwell. All mankind will be resurrected with perfect bodies. We will retain our individuality and gender. There is also purpose for the life beyond this although that has not been revealed as this point. Our task is to master this life. It is interesting...Happiness is an eternal principle based on the keeping of God's commandments. True and lasting happiness comes in no other way. People may experience temporary happiness but without eternal purpose and an understanding of who we are and why we are here it cannot endure.
