The Truth of Evolution Explained by a Creatonist

I have enjoyed reading the thoughts that have been presented on the theory of evolution in the past few weeks. There are a few thoughts that I would like to share that might educate some of your readers about the idea of evolution versus creation.

First of all, there are two different types of evolution as recognized in science. The first type of evolution or change that is accepted by both creationists and pure evolutionists is microevolution. This idea is referring to the small changes that happen over time to living things on earth. It is also known as “survival of the fittest.” In other words, if the environment in which certain species live changes drastically, the only animals that will survive will be those already equipped to survive those changes. These animals’ genetic make ups are not altered or changed in any way. Microevolution does change the gene pool overtime because only animals with certain traits will survive in a different environment. Therefore, the genetic makeup will reflect the traits that better serve for that animal’s survival. It does not support the thought that a species that walked on all fours suddenly one day decided to walk upright just for the fun of it. I could start walking on my hands tomorrow, but it does not mean that my offspring would come out of the womb doing the same thing.

The second part of the theory of evolution is not accepted by creationists. It is known as macroevolution. As the name implies, it is changes that occur on a much larger scale. The idea of macroevolution depends on two things that have never really been known to occur in nature as far as we have observed. These two things are spontaneous generation and spontaneous genetic mutation. Spontaneous generation is the belief that life and creation just came about by chance and that life just began when all the elements came together in perfect order. This whole line of thought goes against the law of entropy in physics. The theory of spontaneous genetic mutation states that over time their have been changes in animals’ genetic codes that have changed them into different species. This part of the theory is based partly on the widely discussed idea of missing links. Now so far, no missing links have been observed living in nature. There are not half ape-half man creatures walking around. The fact of the matter is that genetic mutations do occur. If you are alive, you probably have some slight genetic mutations that occurred in your mother’s womb that you don’t even know about. Large scale genetic mutations that would actually transform a being into another being do not occur and have never been observed. The other important issue to point out is that the fossil record is not as extant as evolutionist would have you believe. Some of the “facts” based on the fossil record are based on bone fragments from which evolutionist create a picture of a whole creature that has never been observed.

As a former science teacher, I know that science is based on observation. I can observe the world around me for about ten seconds and know that it had an intelligent creator. He did not need these processes to make man or anything else. He only needed his spoken word and his power. Now think about it. Look at the facts, what is easier to believe? A bunch of conjecture and incomplete ideas or that God created the world the way he said he did. You decide.
