1 | From Ooze or from God? | Gen 1:1 | Hank | 11384 | ||
Here's a tid-bit of scientific information you can share with your evolutionist friends: In the second it takes to turn the page of a book, you will lose about 3 million red blood cells. During that same second, your bone marrow will have produced the same number of new ones..... Was this remarkable ability spontaneously acquired by mere chance by an organism as complex as the human body which, say the evolutionists, emerged by degrees from primordial ooze? Or does it make more sense to think that the Divine Creator had a hand in it? --Hank | ||||||
2 | From Ooze or from God? | Gen 1:1 | Makarios | 11549 | ||
Dear Hank, I am of course of the persuasion that our Divine Creator most certainly had a hand in it! :) For the first ten or so years after I first sincerely asked Jesus to come into my heart, the one reasoning that seemed to keep me going was: What are we doing here anyway? If we didn't emerge from primordial ooze, then why? The only 'solid' conclusion that I could come up with is that there was a God and we had a purpose! Our purpose is to follow Him and please Him with our lives. If we base our existence on primordial ooze, then there is no reason whatsoever for our existence, and we might as well live our lives any way that we want to, since all we are doing here is pleasing ourselves anyways.. There is no purpose for our lives based on our origin in ooze. And that is where I see the 'great gulf' forming in the present 'world view' and the Christian world view, or view that God is the Creator and Sustainer of all things. We live on earth for a purpose!! --Nolan | ||||||
3 | From Ooze or from God? | Gen 1:1 | Hank | 11556 | ||
And you know, Nolan, one of the primary reasons for the popularity of the "we came from ooze" persuasion has nothing to do with logic, or true science, or anything else except that this idea "frees" human beings from accountability for the way they lead their lives. As you point out, if there is no Supreme Being, then we may as well live our lives as we wish. For those who deny the very idea of God and the authority of the Bible, there is no good or evil, no such entity as sin, and no moral absolutes..... The idea of being fully accountable to God for our thoughts and deeds has never set very well with fallen humanity. On the contrary, "eat, drink, and be merry" continues to be the ages-old marching song that countless men and women have chanted and chant still as they slosh their way to destruction. What fools we mortals be! --Hank | ||||||
