Creation vs. Evolution
Apologists need to understand that the argument for Creation is sometimes turned into a defense of Creation, when in fact the argument for Creation is more scientifically supported that the argument of what Evolution proposes.
Evolution has a huge issue to solve with what came first the Chicken or the Egg.
If the Egg came first, then where did the Egg come from? However if the Chicken came first then how did two Chickens come into existence to create an Egg?
The Reality from Genesis is that God on the Fifth Day created Chickens and gave them the ability to lay eggs.
Genesis 1:20-22 "20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth."
The contrary to this is that a magical concoction of ooze in some distant timeframe, came together in some manner. I am no evolution expert but I understand what was taught to me and to every other child raised during my time.
Some amoeba formed, it then divided in some manner in order to create an additional amoeba.
The amoeba had silica which allowed it to swim or move through the damp ooze. Then through trial and error and the splitting process to create additional amoeba it started to form legs.
Then because it had legs and could move it started moving then perhaps it ran into things and then needed to see where it was going so it wouldn't bump into things.
Somehow an eye formed. The complexity of the eye is another Apologetic argument that goes against every concept put forth by evolution but somehow it happened. then because now the amoeba could walk and now it could see it started to not bump into things as it walked around.
So because it was walking and not running into things it now was exerting energy it needed to eat, so its internal organs now evolved in order to change what it was eating in order to create energy, because it no longer was moving through the ooze.
It's mouth changed, its stomach changed, the entire makeup of what it is changed. but according to evolution it did this over extremely long periods of time. slowly changing for the better.
However the extraordinary need for all of these interrelated parts of the newly formed chickens body to function effectively in order for the chicken to live would have to happen almost simultaneously in order for them to function in such a manner as to support the chicken being healthy enough to survive.
The similarity between the functioning of all species of life does not lend to a random happening of things getting better and better through changes to improve efficiency of function.
It's intriguing to consider that the finely-tuned existence we currently experience enables scientists to explore the concept of creation. Paradoxically, these very scientists advocate for the idea of random chance and luck as they delve into the intricacies of a finely-tuned universe.
God knew what he was doing when he created the Universe, our World, and Everything in it.
Romans 1:19-20 - "19 because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:"
From my personal perspective, those who place their faith in evolution as the sole explanation for our existence appear to disregard the fundamental principles that underpin the construction of our world. When we embark on any endeavor characterized by order and structure (and our world undeniably embodies these traits), we typically commence with a predetermined design in mind. In essence, we work toward a specific goal. Evolution, on the other hand, seems to challenge this foundational concept by suggesting that what we see today is the outcome of countless eons of life building upon itself, without a clear direction or purpose in mind. According to this view, life simply progressed and evolved over millions of years, with no inherent knowledge of where it was heading. Examining the intricacies of the human body and concluding that there was no intentional design behind its construction seems, to me, highly illogical.
In essence, when I contemplate the complexity of creation and the exceedingly improbable nature of the elements aligning perfectly to form the world as we know it, it defies both logic and any semblance of rational hope. Those who reject the existence of God often find themselves lacking a satisfactory explanation for why the universe displays such a remarkable level of precision, detail, and order. In my view, a meticulously designed world inherently implies the existence of a Designer.
