Hi there,
So this is from a simple heart to contextualize. The context, is life in Jesus. Life in Jesus, never runs out (He will be returning, shortly).
The point is this: Evolution says there is no telos, to Evolution. However, this is because a pattern of degeneration, is adopted (the further back in Evolution you go, the more mutations accumulate - affecting your perception of your origins). But if someone who lives more and more, becomes the focus: the telos, by reason of logic (in reverse), becomes easier to identify - if the telos is identified in "Jesus", the survival rate reaches maximum (you literally cannot die).
The question is: is it still "evolving"? Does the progressive change to an unchanging state, exemplify Jesus in a way that it is identifiable, every time? Why would you want to give it a different name, or ignore it, as I imagine some people will want to do? Surely the truth is as much what you can become in Jesus, as it is how you can differ - if you believe in Evolution? It stands to reason, that I could become all-surviving in a number of ways, as opposed to the one in favour of Evolution? I would be many times more evolved?
That's a lot of questions, but I think it stands to reason: that if you have been ignoring Jesus, your focus has been away from how much you can still evolve, if you evolve in His Direction. It's not a trick or a gimmick, Jesus really does show us how to Evolve, regardless of what the Evolution is? He might not make you a monkey, but He might show you how to care for monkeys; He might not make a limb grow back, but He might show you how to get rid of a phantom limb.
In a sense Evolution is, that phantom limb, that unresponsive monkey. You can't escape the inevitable doubt, if you have no faith, but in Jesus, these things can be remedied. I feel like I am saying a lot, but really, I just want you to know that you aren't out of options; you can still start to have faith in Jesus, to do something with your "Evolution".
Fire away.
