Why is the word “evolution” so repugnant to many people? Among its
meanings is “growth” or “change.” Isn’t growth or change for the
better a good thing, and aren’t we supposed to grow and mature
spritually?
If humans are so superior, why are they still eating the “lower”
animals and destroying each other and God’s creation? Even after
discovering that 99.4% of the critical DNA sites in the genes of bonobos
are identical to their own – obviously, the Creator uses an economy of
means – humans continue to utilize “lower” animals without remorse.
Humans must not use “scientific” inquiry as an excuse for behaving
without compassion and making themselves “lesser beings” spiritually.
God gave humans the ability to choose. Why do they choose to live on a
lower level rather than rising to the level that God wants for them?
Aren’t humans being a bit arrogant when they classify the “lower”
animals as to evolutionary status when they themselves have not evolved
enough to really follow the teachings of Jesus?
How superior to the “lower” animals are humans when they continue to
kill each other around the world? Until humans can create universes and
prevent tsunamis and hurricanes, they should try being a bit more humble
and treat their fellow earthlings, both human and non-human, with
compassion.
I can understand the frustration of the few “crying in the
wilderness” (Isaiah 40:3)* through the millennia – those who catch a
glimpse of the Lord’s Truth and who see how often “religion” twists that
Truth.
Perhaps it is humans who need to “evolve.”
* Isaiah 40:3
3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
"Prepare the way of the LORD;
Make straight in the desert
A highway for our God.
~ New King James Version
