A reminder for
today
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven,
and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or
dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and
for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. (Colossians 1:16-17)
I read this awesome article that I would love to share with
you. Scientists have observed lizards evolving
into lizards, salmon evolving into salmon, moths into
moths, mice into mice, bedbugs into bedbugs; and more lizards into lizards! I
must admit, the evidence that organisms evolve into organisms like themselves
is pretty overwhelming! Of course, I say that tongue-in-cheek, but
examples of adaptation, speciation, and natural selection are used over and
over again as evidence for molecules-to-man evolution—but they’re not!
What they really show are examples of what God’s Word
teaches—everything reproduces according to their kinds. Lizards produce
lizards, salmon produce salmon, moths produce moths, mice produce mice, and
bedbugs produce bedbugs! And, according to a new study, ravens
produce—you guessed it—ravens!
What scientists have observed in the ravens is “speciation
reversal” or what’s called “reticulate evolution” (which has been observed in
other species as well). Based on DNA samples collected for two decades,
scientists observe that North American common ravens are split into three
genetically distinct groups, but two of these groups are melding back into one
due to interbreeding between two of the lineages.
Studies like this show that what makes a “species” (a
modern, man-made term) is not clear-cut. One researcher says, “It gets at
just how hard it is to answer seemingly simple questions like ‘What is a
species?’”
But raven populations and lineages interbreeding are not
surprising to biblical creationists. All three raven lineages belong to
the same created kind. According to research, the biblical kind is
usually (though not always) at the level of family in our
modern taxonomic classification system. Organisms within a kind can reproduce
with one another so it’s not surprising to see these raven species
interbreeding and “messing up” the lineages within just a few decades. (Incidentally,
due to numerous factors such as mutations, geography, preference, and so on,
some members of a kind will not interbreed).
Once again it is clear that man did not evolve from a monkey to a man. Man was created by God and in God’s
image. It takes simple common sense to realise that it is impossible that a
single cell organism just proofed into existence and evolved into the complex
and remarkable beings that we are. You must have an enormous god complex to actually
think that it is even remotely possible. The amazing and inexplicable perfection
by which our bodies function and the whole universe combined with that makes
for an overwhelming case for God. Yet, those scientists and those atheists continues
to argue otherwise. Sorry to burst their bubbles, but God did it all and then
to top it off God became a man and showed Him to this world. Case closed.
Lord, thank you for the overwhelming evidence we have in
you. Fill us with your Spirit and let us unite against evil. In Jesus name.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
