Are you an Evolutionist or a Creationist or an I-don’t-give-a-hootist? Charles Darwin was a keen observer of life on this planet. His “general theory of evolution” contains some genuine original thought, and some genuine original observations on “His” theory of evolution. It’s like going to Disneyworld with your kids. As long as you go there “knowing” it’s an entertainment Mecca meant solely for amusement and profit, you won’t drag home disappointment that mice, dogs, and duck’s can’t talk, sing and dance. Many Super Bowl players after winning the big game are asked what they are doing to do next. Say it with me, you’ve heard it over and over, “I’m going to Disney World”. Hopefully, those millions who hear that realize that there’s a big difference in “The Magical Kingdom” and “The Heavenly Kingdom”. Just once, I’d like to hear one of these skillfully trained professional athletes who deserve the recognition for winning the “big” game say, “Thank you Lord for all the abilities you’ve given me, and one day I want to be deserving of visiting ”The Heavenly Kingdom”. Just remember one kingdom belongs to man and one Kingdom belongs to God. Let’s get back to those tricky molecules.
Molecules. Every living thing in the universe has them and even the stuff that doesn’t have life has them, too. If you’re an animal, mineral, or vegetable you’ve got molecules. There’s a little debate whether organic or inorganic molecules came first, but that’s a different horse race. Let’s focus on where those first molecules came from. Where ‘exactly’ did those first building blocks of life come from? Did they come from the roly-poly innards of the Big Bang Theory? Were they spawned from exploding stars and wayward meteors carrying ice crystals with indeterminate molecules as a hitchhiker? Could they have come from something that slithered out of the ocean deep carried by a current deposited on a sandy beach? Did they come from spewing volcanic particulates?
Whatever brand of primordial soup that caused comets and asteroids and planets and moons to be in existence and to be fixed in a determined orbit around a perpetual burning star may never be uncovered. But one thing is certain, as long as all the great minds across the planet continue to theorize and hypothesize about these unfathomable details on the creation and its subtle nuances, God will continue to get a chuckle a day. And who said God didn’t have a sense of humor?
If you believe the first sentence of the Bible, everything else falls into place. If you are determined to ferret out all the minute mysteries of the universe, you better start with the Book of Genesis, because that’s where the very first Genes are found.
