Ok, this is just funny. I simply don't "get" evolution. I'm not going to debate it. If you choose to believe what I'm about to write, I suppose I'm happy that you take some kind of stand instead of just shrugging and ignoring it all, but really....do you honestly believe this is what happened? C'mon...you have some kind of educational common sense, right?
So -- no debating...just think with a grain of common sense:
13.7 billion years ago we started with a Big Bang. a big bang of what, exactly? It takes something to create a bang...what was it if there was nothing?
1 second later, hydrogen nuclei began to form and we know this how, exactly? if nothing was there to bang...where did the hydrogen nuclei come from? it had to start somewhere. Oh, wait...it was in that bang of nothing, heh?
3 minutes later, nuclear fusion ceases
379,000 years later the first atoms are formed so we sat with nothing really for a really long time? and we know this how?
4.6 billion years from that bang, the Sun and planets formed
4.5 billion years, a large body crashed into Earth and debris from that crash became our Moon where did the large body come from? Was there some other big bang where nothing hit nothing and formed something and it hit Earth?
4 billion years, our atmosphere of water vapor, carbon dioxide and nitrogen is formed here on Earth and our clouds form this is part of that original nuclear fusion and atom stuff, right?
3.5 billion years, bacteria and algea appear bringing/forming the first signs of life of course it did...we began with a bang of whatever garbage there was in nothing...
2.5 billion years, oxygen-breathing organisms appear
600,000,000 years, the firs animals appear, including algae, flatworms and jellyfish
570,000,000 years, complex life forms begin in the oceans where did the oceans come from? I think I missed that in the lesson...
438,000,000 years a probably meteor impact wipes out over 85% of the world's marine creatures wait now...if there are only jellyfish and flatworms around, who left us the clues to the meteor impact...if they were basically all destroyed? And where did the meteor come from -- must have been left-over garbage from the banging going on...
400,000,000 years, marine creatures adapt to land living and evolve into amphibians and insects of course they do -- some huge rock hit their world and broke up their party -- they are moving on to greener pastures in hopes of avoiding the same thing that did their ancestors in...
245,000,000 years, a unknown event kills just over 95% of the creatures of Earth oops...guess land living wasn't the prize they thought it would be. I don't get how we know about some meteor, though, and yet this time it's something 'unknown' that kills things off...?
210,000,000 years,over 75% of the world's creatures are rendered extinct, possibly by another meteor attack so now the meteors are attacking...this makes 3 catastrophic events now that have all but wiped us out...resilient little buggers, heh?
200,000,000 years, the first mammals evolve
65,000,000 years, a comet or asteroid strikes Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, wiping out many species, including dinosaurs, and allows the mammals to survive now that is neat...Mexico was Mexico even way back then, and we now have 'selective' comet strikes on the Earth, picking and choosing who lives and who becomes extinct...
4,000,000 years, Australopityhecines, the earliest hominids, evolve in Africa I'm totally lost here...I need a good dictionary...
2,500,000 years Homo habilis (i.e. 'skilful man') the earliest human species, is using stone tools
1,800,000 years Homo erectus has a brain twice the size of the earlier species wait a minute -- the first man did nothing, so how did he eat and survive? the next evolutionary step, all of a sudden that man is using stone tools he created? and now, we have a man with a much larger brain...if the man could use tools, what was he doing living in primitive conditions instead of building a house and creating a city with his buddies?
1,700,000 years, Homo erectus leaves Africa oh, that's why...he was busy building a boat...
200,000 the first modern humans (homo sapiens) appear in Africa I thought we just left there?
100,000 modern humans begin migrating to the Middle East gotta be there for Jesus...this is where I could begin to see some feasible beginning...
a little later, we are moving all over from South East Asia to China, using fire and more advanced tools, etc.
My problem with all of this? I think it's total bunk.
We started from nothing and bingo, there we were? We were destroyed how many times and got to re-form and evolve into other things? And from some nuclear fusion of the nothingness that hit something and made a bang, we grew from an atom to some bacteria to some algae to some flatworm and some complex form living in the ocean that was wiped out by something or another, moving a select few to land, who became mammals and eventually decided to stand up and walk like a man?
And these 'scientists' are paid how much to create this for our children's textbooks? It makes no sense to me at all. Even if I didn't know what happened to get us here really, I still couldn't see believing this. It's just too far-fetched to even sound remotely probable.
You know what really happened? Sure you do. About, oh maybe 5000 years ago, GOD created the Heavens and the Earth. He created the Sun, the Moon and The stars. He created the land and the seas. He created the creatures of the air, land and sea. He created the plants, the trees, the herbs of the field. He created a MAN. No one sneezed us into existence. We were thought over and created in the Image of Our Creator. We were filled with the breath of life and given a soul. Souls don't 'evolve' they are created. To be created, there has to be A Creator.
To evolve, there only has to be a bang of nothing.
I believe I was thought over, planned for, and created from something...not nothing.
Why? Because I believe in the God of The Bible and all that It speaks of as to how and where we came from. And it wasn't some bit of nothing floating in the middle of nothing waiting for nothing to hit some other nothing.
Oh my, that is too funny! I haven't laughed that hard in a while. I have to agree, even if I didn't know where we all came from, and I do, I wouldn't be able to believe that bologna.
I enjoyed your email! I do believe in the Big Bang...God spoke us into existence and BANG...it happened! If we evolved from monkeys...then how come there are still monkeys? Hummmmm...more questions to ponder. I do wonder why it is so hard for folks to accept the Bible and Gods Plan. I heard a Pastor once say that if folks believed Genesis then they would have to accept the fact they were created, are sinners and need a Savior. But it totally mystifies me as to why people would believe these made up theories and then insist on teaching them as facts. They make life so much harder than it needs to be.

~~That's it in the nutshell. You have to believe ALL of Genesis and there are just too many who don't. Maybe if every church taught the Bible as total truth, from Genesis to Revelation, instead of picking out a handful of comfort verses to teach on more folks would believe.
If you don't believe in a Creator, you aren't going to believe anything was created over being evolved (I still want to know where it began in that theory...there was nothing out there folks...everything has to start with something, not nothing....even a preschooler knows that much!). If you don't believe in a Creator and His Creation, you are certainly going to dismiss the rest of Genesis...you know, that we were once in perfect fellowship with that Creator then went stupid on our own and lost that fellowship on our own...and you won't seek a repair to that original fellowship...Jesus and The Cross and His Salvation.

No indulgences of self will can be trivial, no denial unprofitable; Heaven or Hell depends on this alone. A parent who studies to subdue it in his child works together with God in the renewing and saving of their soul. The parent who indulges it does the devil's work, makes religion impractical, salvation unattainable, and does all that in him lies to damn his child, soul and body, forever.
Susanna Wesley
At Our School Desks
We are a Christian family desiring to raise our children with the primary focus of Training their Hearts!
I have no greater joy, than to hear my children walk in truth... III John 1:4
Train up the child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it... Proverbs 22:6
Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!... Deuteronomy 5:29
Our mission in life is not to go to some far-off foreign land, but to work at home and in our churches and home communities. Our goal should not be to leave behind riches and possessions, farms and homes for our children, but a priceless heritage they will cherish enough to work fervently to pass along to their children. It has been done for generations and with God's help it can still be done. In teaching our children, we are striving toward a deep understanding of who they are In Christ. I am . . . a child of God, a gift to my parents and my country. I'm a person of great value because God made me. I can . . . do all things through Christ who strengthens me. God has made me able to do everything required of me. I ought . . . to do my duty to obey God, to submit to my parents and everyone in authority over me, to be of service to others, and to keep myself healthy with proper food and rest so my body is ready to serve. I will . . . resolve to keep a watch over my thoughts and choose what's right even if it's not what I want.
