Hi there,
So yes, you are privileged to hear my take on Evolution before I brave the waters of the Science forum - its actually very simple: Evolution promises change, through successive adaptations; Creation promises change, through variations of a kind. What does this mean? It means that Evolution will always get the upper hand to begin with - because it promises the broadest possible direction for all subsequent changes - while Creation gets the upper hand in the end - because it endures peacefully with threats made to its livelihood, right up to the end (gathering momentum as it does so). Does Evolution attempt to refine its design? No, it takes a chance on the design of others; does Creation attempt to single out its peak? No, one design within a kind, is believed as strong as any other.
So why all the fighting, if its a choice? Well, that is because the question at stake, is what philosophy will the children adopt, given that they have a choice? There will be strengths and there will be psychopaths, but humanly speaking, there will never be a point at which successive change passes beyond some design and speaking as humanly, there will never be a point at which, additive change entrenches once and for all, without need of succession to go before it. Evolution goes before Creation, but it does not go to the end. Creation reaches the end, but it does not necessarily share the end, with Evolution.
This is something that can only be worked out, through life - how ever that life is given. Evolution will always worry that it does not have the upper hand, Creation will always assert that the creed of its end is superior to shallow contest or one-up-manship. There is no rest here. There is only rest in the attraction of Jesus. Jesus contends that at one point, a particular philosophy may be strong, but equally at another point the same philosophy may be weak. What matters is that creatures do the will of God, that they fulfil the destiny that was given to them: in the predetermination, of the Lord. Let the spotted be spotted and the speckled be speckled - the difference is the Lord's.
I hope you understand what I am saying by the end, but by the same token, I don't want you to forget that token faith, on its own, is not enough to defeat Evolution - I am taking this to heart also (I may not post this in the Science forum, depending on how you receive it?). The Lord knew, if He did not speak up, our faith would be lost - perhaps not immeditately, but shortly after!
The point is:
