Thinking About Creation; where deep questions are answered.
- People often ask me, "what exactly is evolution?" I tell them evolution is a fact. For some reason this doesn't seem to satisfy some of them, and I have to go on to explain in greater detail, how this great fact came into being. You see, when you get right down to it, evolution is a matter of speculation evolving into fact. Yes, under the mutation producing pressure of atheists in high places, simple one celled speculation can turn into the great Fact of evolution. Yes, all the living forms we see around us evolved from that primordial bit of speculation. (The one celled bit of speculation we call Materialism, is the most simple life form in the intellectual world.)
While this primordial cell was simple, various natural processes (e.g. lightning, radiation, etc.) transformed it into a million different life forms. Can fact come from non-fact? Well obviously so, as the fact of evolution is alive and well, and spoken highly of in every classroom on the planet. If that's not a fact I don't know what is. Yes; it took millions and millions of years, in fact billions of years; but now it's a fact and no one can deny it. (Not anyone in their right mind; not anyone who isn't ignorant, stupid, superstitious or wicked.)
People ask me to explain the origin of life, and I tell them that, "In the beginning, well not the real beginning, but close to it, when the earth was a comic [ed. that should be cosmic] wasteland, nothing but inert chemicals and bio wannabes, a little primordial germ of speculation emerged one day. Whether this glorious event happened in small pond as Darwin tenderly imagined, or in some deep sea vent, or in some desert, is still a question we need to answer... but all in all it's just a minor detail. (No offense to people working in this area.)
What was the nature of this original germ? We don't have all the details but we do know that it was a single celled bit of speculation known as Materialism. Over time this one celled germ evolved (you might even say germinated) into the world we know today. That this is a fact no one can deny. (Just see what we'll do to them if they try.) Of course it didn't happen overnight. It took time." (Time nurtured this delicate flower until it was ready to become the fact we know today; time was the great gardener in this tiny plot where materialism first was born.)
That usually satisfies people, and they find contentment from their existential torment.
