• Evolution

  “I think God allows hardship so that in alleviating it we might understand his mercy.”

  I actually think it goes MUCH deeper than that…and hardship and pain have so many deeper values than simply what the above states…but hey, touching the tip of the iceburg is ok for now. Besides, I suspect that hardship means different things to different people.

  And before I get started on that subject, I shall try to do the title some justice. This is probably gonna be very random and just a few disjointed thoughts on evolution. I’ve been wanting to post on this subject for some time now. And have decided to do so tonight…because there’s no way I’m gonna be sleeping anytime soon (too much depression on my mind=), so I figured I might as well put my time to good use, and rattle away on xanga for a while.

  This kinda freaks me out, in a way. I’m not good at arguing my point. Don’t consider myself very smart, unless it’s something I’m passionate about…and I don’t think this is gonna be very interesting to a lot of you people out there…but I just HAVE to atleast speak my piece…because Christians have been so incredibely lame when it comes to standing up and speaking out against evolution…and standing up for Christianity…and God. God designed all this. He DESERVES some recognition for the marvelous way he’s created things, and some thanks too. So thank you, Padre.

  I’m studying Biology in college now, and it’s raising some questions, and answering others. I’ve always wondered what people really meant when they said, “I believe in evolution.” So what does evolution really mean? I found out it actually has SIX different meanings.

  cosmic evolution: time, space and matter must have come into existance somehow…and it had to happen simultaneously. If you had space and matter but no time, when would you put it? If you had time and matter but no space, where would you put it? Evolutionists explain this with the Big Bang Theory. Over 12 billion years ago, all matter was squished into a tiny dot, no bigger than the period at the end of this page. That dot was spinning…it spun faster and faster, until one day, that dot (of basically nothing) suddenly EXPLODED…and voila. Here we are today.

  The Big Bang Theory has been totally disproven. It’s called the Law of Angular Momentum. If a spinning object breaks apart in a frictionless environment, the pieces that fly off will spin in the same direction. So lets say we got a whole bunch of fourth graders on a merry-go-round. We get a few hunks from the football team to push the merry-go-round. The highschool football team will spin it clockwise as fast as it will go. The kids go through four phases. Phase 1 is yelling at the guys to push faster. “Faster, faster!” they’ll chant. After they’re going around at about 30 mph, they enter phase 2. Screaming stops, and they quietly concentrate on hanging on for dear life. You get up to around 60 mph, the kids enter phase 3 and they start screaming again, only this time they’re yelling at them to stop, “Please, please stop!! I want to live!” Don’t stop though. Keep pushing…faster and faster till you get to about 100 mph. Then the kids will enter phase 4, in which they start to fly OFF the merry-go-round. Watch carefully. If the kids fly off the merry-go-round, and the merry-go-round is going clockwise, when the kid flies off, he will be spinning CLOCKWISE. Until he encounters resistance. Like a tree. Or a telephone pole.  (don’t worry, I didn’t come up with this illustration on my own. Courtesy of Dr Dino.=)

  So if this LAW is true, then how would evolutionists explain away the fact that two (maybe 3) of the planets are spinning backward? And did you know that 8 of the 19 known moons are also spinning backward?

  I’ve got an answer to this one: In the beginning, GOD created the heavens and the earth, and he did it that way on PURPOSE…just to make the Big Bang Theory look stupid. =)

  chemical evolution: evolutionists say the big bang produced hydrogen and helium. Life really can NOT evolve without oxygen. But you can’t have oxygen at the beginning of evolution, because everything would have deoxydized (rusted), so they say things evolved without it. They have “proven” this with “extensive labratory experiments”, which is actually a lie…some guy named Miller did some experiement in trying to produce life with producing the same (or as close as possible) environmental conditions they think existed about 4 billion years ago. Sure, they produced 2 amino acids. Big deal. The rest was 85% tar and 13% carbylic acid. Both of these are toxic to life. If you did an experiment and came out with 98% poison to the 2% “so-called life” (that would actually bond more easily with the poison than with each other), would you call this experiment a success? Nah. I didn’t think so.

  stellar evolution: I don’t really think this one is even a big deal. Cuz they can’t come up with any more lies to prove that stars evolved…so they don’t preach it too much, so I won’t touch on it a lot. Just suffice it to say they have no proof.

  organic evolution: life has to get started from non-living material. It’s called “spontaneous generation” and it was disproven 200 years ago. They still haven’t updated the textbooks (I know. I’ve got one in my room…that I have to STUDY=)

  macro evolution: animal change from one kind to another. So we came from the chimpanzee because the difference in our mitochondrial DNA is only 2%. We’re related. I’ve also come to the conclusion that watermelons evolved from clouds. Clouds are 99% water, watermelon 98%. What more proof do you need? I mean, CLEARLY, this is exactly what happened.

  micro evolution: this one I support wholeheartedly. There is evidence all around me. It’s called a variation within a species. Wolf, dog, cayote. Yup. They’re all different all right. And yet, they’re all the same. Yes. They evolved. And YES. They had a common ancestor. It was a dog. No matter how many times you cross breed dogs, you’ll always get a dog. Might be different…but it’ll still be a dog. Even mutations won’t help you here.

  How come do they always use an example of a bad mutation (the horrible things they do to flies, butterflies *I take personal affront on this one*, and frogs *shiver*), and only TELL us about the good ones? Oh yes. I almost forgot. The people in Africa that are susceptible to malaria, are almost completely immune to sickle cell anemia. Or was it the other way around? Don’t remember. Anyway, that’s just dumb. Neither one is gonna do you any good. It’s like saying you won’t suffer from athlete’s foot if you cut off both feet.

   

  

   

  Fossil-proof is the funniest one of all. You ask them, “How can you tell this rock is 7 million years old?” They will say they are able to deduce the age by the fossils found in the rock. And then you ask them how they know a certain fossil is 4 million years old. They will tell you they know from the layer of strata in which it was found. So you tell the age of fossils from rock, and the age of rock from fossils. Ok. That makes a lot of sense. It’s called circular reasoning, and it actually makes NO sense.

  They say everything evolved from the sea to land…then they say some weird “ancient whale” has useless ankle bones in his pelvic region…back from when he was a cow. Clearly contradict themselves. And the whole thing of all these “useless appendages” is a bunch of baloney. Useless? Our appendix is supposedly useless. What it actually does is play an important role in our immune system. Sure, we can live without it. But we can also live without both arms, both legs, and both eyes. Just because we can live without something does not mean we don’t need it.

  And the famous coccyx bones that are left over from when we had our monkey tales…they “have no useful function…” oh yes they do. They support the muscles that keep us from pooping in our pants. I wonder why none of these people get theirs removed…if they’re so anxious to prove that they’re useless.

  Natural Selection is something I haven’t quite figured out yet. I’m not sure where I stand from a scientific viewpoint, but I DO know that it’s the excuse Hitler used to kill the Jews. He was also against blacks, probably latins *snarl*, people with down syndrome, older people, cripples, and homosexuals too, I think. The very fact that he used this excuse to kill the masses is reason enough for me to oppose it. He thought he was doing the world a favor by killing off the “weaker” (don’t know WHERE he got his reasoning!) individuals so the stronger could “breed” (yeah, we’re all just animals, dontcha know), and better the human race. The whole thing is WRONG when it comes to people…but I’m not sure if it happens with animals or not. You definately see the weaker ones get killed faster…but a whale swimming through a school of fish and eating 85% of them is not called survival of the fittest. It’s survival of the luckiest. =)

  The whole “theory” of evolution has become almost ludicrous to me. If we’d take away all the lies…there would be nothing left to support it. It doesn’t even qualify as a theory. The definition of theory is: Hypothesis (testable explanation of a natural phenomenon) that has not been disproven after many years of rigorous testing, and is useful for making predictions about other phenomena.

  Do you think evolution even qualifies? It’s been disproven time and again, and yet they STILL teach it in schools, claiming that it’s science…

  And the thing of us “evolving” and the world becoming a better place is so contrary to the multitude of evidence that surrounds us. If you leave anything alone for long enough, it degenerates, it doesn’t get better. The sun (this is ENERGY *gasp*) beats down on your roof all day…without having a single good effect on it. In fact, it’s ruining your roof. Adding energy is DESTRUCTIVE if there is nothing there to utilize the energy. An atomic bomb is great energy indeed…and I don’t see anything becoming more organized as a result of a bombing…or any life forming from this energy. Hasn’t done any good at all, in fact. =)

  I’ve come to the conclusion (I’m in college so I’m allowed to draw conclusions now, ha=) that evolution is a religion. R-E-L-I-G-I-O-N. It’s a desperate attempt to deny that God made all this. Atheistic. So why are they allowed to teach this religion in schools? Why not teach real science? Things that can be observed, studied, and tested?

  I believe that my God made the world in 6 days. That he has a plan for each and every person. That he loves us all. I believe that he made time, matter, and space…all in one day. That he carefully formed all the chemicals in this world in perfect detail. Conducive to life. I especially believe he made the stars. It says in the Bible that they sing praises to God. I can’t help but join in…when I see the magnifiscence of a starry night sky…the beauty of his love for me can literally take my breath away. I believe that he made all animals “after their own kind” and that he made it right the first time. He didn’t need to try a few times and learn as he went along. He is perfection.

  I admit that my beliefs are a religion. It’s called Christianity. I think they should admit their’s is a religion as well.
