It has always amazed me how so-called Atheists will argue the theory of evolution as a basis for origin, and attempt to refute creationism with it. They seem to totally disregard the basic fundamental, that evolution deals with speciation, not origin.... but don't let the facts get in the way of a good anti-God rant!
I personally think they make a terrible mistake in not accepting both theories. Yes, I believe in creationism as well as evolution. In fact, I think evolution might be the best example and evidence of God's creationism tools. Particularly when you look at it from an open-minded standpoint, and consider, if evolution theory is true, then it all began with something happening. Regardless of your beliefs, at some point, some force put all of this into motion, and it could not have happened otherwise.
Even when you think of the miracle of evolution, the very thought that random alleles can, over time, form and co-mingle, go through the natural selection processes, and survive... in fact, grow... into new species! According to Atheists, this all just happened by random chance, there was no hand in it whatsoever... all the billions of life forms, all the billions of possible combinations of elements... it just all fell into place exactly as it needed to, in order to produce a world where everything is in harmonious balance... the food chain and circle of life all work flawlessly, and this all just happened to work out this way.
The Earth has a defined rotation around the Sun, with a distinct wobble of its axis... this provides the Earth with seasons. Seasons so delicately balanced, an abundance of various life forms can exist. Not only can they exist, some of them could never exist if it weren't specifically because of the seasons. Trees and plant life, for instance... would not exist, if there were no seasons. Without trees and plant life, our planet would not function, they provide the soil with minerals and the atmosphere with oxygen. Without the geothermal warming and cooling of the atmosphere because of Earth's wobble, there would also be no evaporative effect of the moisture on the planet.... no rain... again, vital to the delicate life-cycle of nature.
Atheists have supposedly convinced themselves, this all happened by random chance. Despite the overwhelming odds of any such thing ever randomly occurring to such a degree, billions of times in a row. It completely contradicts the law of averages, but again... why let facts get in the way of God bashing? We still can't escape the fact that, something happened to cause all of this. Some force put all of it into motion at some point in time... something created time.
Evolution can explain a lot of things, but there are a lot of things about evolution, we simply don't know or understand. For instance.... The Chicken. A rather simple and efficient life form... Assuming evolutional theory.... how do you suppose this life form evolved into existence?.... it has a brain the size of a pea... it's only essential function in life is to find and consume protein... it only has sense enough to get into a tree at night and roost, and it exists as a small-boned, high-protein source of food for many other life forms. There are more chickens on the planet than humans, believe it or not. Now, I suppose the alleles just randomly decided to align themselves into a convenient food source for other life forms, but I really don't understand why they would make that choice. Evolution doesn't really explain that.
We see differing degrees of life forms all around us, and we naturally assume we are the most intelligent, but are we really? Certainly, we are more advanced and technologically superior to other creatures, but ants have a telepathic form of communication we don't have, bees have an organizational and societal structure more disciplined and efficient than ours.... dogs can hear better... owls can see better... We have cognitive thought going for us, but they have determined that many species of primates are capable of this. Humans have one distinguishing characteristic from all other life forms, they have spirituality. A spiritual understanding that other species of life simply do not have. This makes us different, and I submit, it's the most profound thing to make us unique and superior among all other life forms. It certainly isn't by random chance, the only species to have spiritual understanding, is the species most advanced.
