Evolution Or Intelligent Design?

Man’s design of “intelligence”

Random assignment of cells eventually ending in human intelligence.

… And we still don’t understand the innumerable intricacies of this “design.”

That “natural selection” dude must be a genius!

God’s!!!

 

We think our knowledge is new and what is written in the Bible is irrelevant. But take a look. The Bible is timeless in it’s wisdom (Romans 1:18b-20 and 23 NIV):

“ … since what may be known about God is plain to them because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

Although they claimed to be wise they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.”

Do you not know there is a God, or are you afraid that in acknowledging Him, He will change you?

He will! And you’ll be glad for it.

I need to give a shout out to my Pastor, Mark Norman of Grace Community Church in Fulton, Maryland, for inspiring this one.

Thanks!

  1. Hi, Connie. Thank you for those pictures of God's beautiful design. We certainly can't (nor would I want to) compete. I wondered if you knew that what is typically called the theory of Intelligent Design is an evolutionary theory - evolution but God or ID makes nonevolutionary like leaps. I personally have no problem with a God who might have used evolution. He has certainly used long and indirect paths in history and in my life. But if this is the method He used, I don't think He would need to fill in the gaps with ID type leaps. He knows where He is going and He is patient. There is no question in my mind though, whether creation is evolutionary or not, that it shows God is an intelligent designer. Again, thanks for those lovely images of God's majesty and design.

    1. Rachel, no I didn’t know that. Most of the people I know who use that term, and hold talks on it, believe that what is written in the Bible is the Word of God—meaning He created the Earth in seven days. However, the Bible tells us that a day to us could be something different to God. To me, it’s not important to argue all the particulars, because no matter what era we live in, there will always be those who will find “evidence” that there is no God. I find it funny to have evidence of a lack of something, but that’s what they do. In the next era, some of that evidence will be refuted, and others will sprout up. It’s the human condition. I believe in the God of the Bible. I believe if He is powerful enough to create the universe, He is powerful enough to do it in whatever time or way He chooses. If it was in 168 hours or seven revolutions of our planet, so be it. He’s just that powerful! And that’s what I need to know. He has shown Himself to me, not only through His artistry and scientific genius (being the Creator of that science), but through His steadfastness and love. Thanks for stopping by. Be Blessed!!!

  2. My pleasure, Connie. And we're agreed. I'm not smart enough to understand all of the hows of creation, but I do know the Who of creation.
