| The theory of devolution |

Isaiah 24:19; The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. Ever since Charles Darwin wrote the notorious "Origin of the Species" the generic term "evolution" was coined as a way to make vague and empty attemps to explain the origins and development of life on earth. The theory of evolution has never been proven without a shadow of a doubt yet when I was a child all of the history books in school taught that we evolved from lower forms of life. If we evolved from other animals then why are those animals still here? We must also assume that we would contine to evolve into some other type of ctreature. Why doesn't our DNA contain the remnants of the DNA of the species we supposedly evolved from? Where is the forensic evidence? Man has developed technologies and all manner of instruments to measure the age of our planet only to attempt to poke holes in what God says the origin of life is. If man can discredit the word of God then man can explain God away so that they can live out their twisted and perverted lifestyles without restraint. Yet we call ourselves civilized.
What price do we pay to become civilized? We have marred the face of the earth with shimmering ribbons of tar and concrete to drive shiny coffins upon yet we have this incessant need to build more roads that lead to wherever we feel a need to go. We erect shimmering towers of concrete and glass that reach up into heaven just so that we can make a name for ourselves. Nimrod had the same idea yet we claim to have become more civilized since then. We've polluted the waters and we have poisoned the atmosphere and we have run many animal species into extinction. We destroy entire ecosystems to acquire prime real estate all for the sake of the almighty dollar and we kill for the sake of killing yet we call ourselves civlized. All of our technocrap and gadgets have made us reliant on them to the extent that we are devolving. Some of us have become couch potatos while others have become predators. We are no better than brute beasts yet we are the civilized ones. Daniel 4:16; Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him. Although we did not evolve (evolution) from a lower form of life, we devolve (devolution) and become more like animals in our reasoning and rationale yet we are blinded and kept from seeing how depraved we have become. I speak in terms of humanity as a whole.
Psalms 32:9; Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
Do you have any horse sense or are you as stubborn as a mule? Are you as sly as a fox or as free as a bird? Are you astute as a serpent or meek as a dove? Some men are dogs or pigs, some people are sheepish, others are mad as a march hare. With so many comparisons to animals I wonder if they have more sense than we do. They did during Noah's time! They had enough sense to get into the Ark when all humanity and the other animals were going to perish. Yet we are the civilized ones.
I know for certain I will not be what I am now because I'm going to be changed when corruption takes on incorruption.
1 Corinthians 15:51-52; Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
If you want to believe that scientists hold all of earth's secrets you go ahead. I know who has all the answers and his name is Jesus. I intetionally want to be more like him. I'm not going to evolve or devolve . I'm going to become like Jesus and that is what matters to me.
1 John 3:2; Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. What are you going to become? Shalom
