Hi there,
So I've been told many times that faith and science don't mix, but there is interpretation of science that science on its own can't understand: namely,
Perhaps this is new to you; the Bible says "hope that is seen, is not hope; for how can you hope in something you see?" (from memory, letters) in other words, we as believers are called to keep everything secret, not just Evolution. I am speaking from experience, that more of what "applies" is discovered, if we do not first dictate what it is we must see, from our perspective. When two creatures that both keep the same secret, encounter each other, the secret is only more kept, if done properly! Just think what a mate is able to do, if the secret itself is "open to interpretation". I mean I can understand why you would virtue signal a particular "Evolution" if you thought the two aspects (the Evolution and the being secret) were related to the same thing, but imagine if it were up to the optimum mate, whether you would mate at all - the more secret, the more attractive!
What you may find, is that you have no strength at all - keeping secret - unless you practice it. It will not come naturally, at first; your first intention, will be to share that you have merely begun to keep something secret. What I want to discover, here, is what comes after that: what is it that a secret needs, to evolve? At first, you may think "a secret can't evolve, it's always the same secret", but think about what you are saying: are you saying that nothing evolved can be kept secret? That doesn't make sense. What makes sense, is that the more evolved something becomes the easier it becomes to keep a secret. The more you keep it a secret, the more light the idea that it really is an evolved secret...
As Jesus said "the first will be last and the last first" (from memory, gospels), this applies to "Evolution" too. Think about it: how easy and light is it to keep "Evolution" evolved? Now compare that with how difficult it is to keep a secret - they are not the same thing, are they? In reality, you can't afford to keep mutating, crossing your fingers that your adaptation won't be wasted effort, given the change that has taken place between the present and the most recent adaptation. I mean if you are an ape and you want to evolve an ape adaptation, if your species has already become human, your ape adaptation will be a wasted effort. This can be avoided, by sticking with the adaptation you currently have. If you had kept it a secret, your adaptation would still apply, because you would still have a reference point that remained the same for both species.
In reality what I am saying is "keep your having been an ape, to yourself" because "you might find a context in which to apply your belief, that is not wrong (given the right tolerance)"; ape secret to ape, there is nothing wrong, that is worth fighting for. Perhaps when you are more practiced at this, the more it will make sense. That is my prayer?
So I've been told many times that faith and science don't mix, but there is interpretation of science that science on its own can't understand: namely,
The point being that the assumption certain "things" are evolved, limits what can actually (evolve). This is not to say that something would be more evolved, if it was anticipated in the right way, but that the anticipation itself may be confused with something that is not evolution - unless it is kept within the definition of Evolution that is yet to be. There is a strength in maintaining something's secret, that won't evolve any other way.By faith, you are required to call something "evolved", even when you don't see *how*
