Humans are the only species that evolved with a neurological capacity for mystical thought. Mysticism is at the core of wonderment. As long as humans continue ask “how” and “why”, arrive at their own conclusions without coercion or retribution, however right or wrong, progress and civilization will continue.

Darwin was a great thinker and had significant insights. He himself , like Copernicus, Tycho Brache and Galileo did not deny the existence of God. His work however was commandeered by the atheists who were a growing branch of the Enlightenment and very heavily concentrated in academic settings.

What If God Is as Real as a Heart Attack?

Atheists and non-Christians have set up this false narrative that if something can be explained by science it is somehow proof that God does not exist.

Rather, many things in science are clear manifestations of the creator/God through which mysteries have been revealed such as genetics and the ecosphere.

How is it, for example, that almost everything condenses in cold and yet water expands and necessarily expands to protect the wildlife in lakes and ponds?

God provides an ecosystem where some life turns oxygen into CO2 and others turn CO2 into oxygen. Most of the earth is covered by water which rises into the atmosphere as steam when heated but, when it is sufficiently cooled in the atmosphere, it falls again as rain or snow and eventually finds its way back to streams, lakes and oceans - it is our planet's temperature regulation system to sustain life.

Paul said that if nobody were to tell a man about God, nature itself would testify of Him so that no man is innocent.

The Cambrian Explosion (the big one about 500 million years ago, though there were others) had 50% to 70% of all known phyla emerge in the scientific record in a brief time span of about 20 million years.

20 million years seems like a long time, and it is if that's how long you have to work and pay taxes. :) But since the Darwinists were expecting the archaeological record to show that life evolved across maybe 5 billion years, seeing most of it spring up in 20 million years is rather sudden.

Basically it shows the math of natural selection was off by a factor of about 25. In any other scientific discipline if your experiments showed your math was off by 2 or 3 or 4 it causes you to rethink your hypothesis. Not with Darwinists. They're #1 experiment (a century and a half of archaeology) was off by a factor of 25 and they still cling to their theory?

Why? Cuz to them it's not a theory. It's a religion.

As I sit here trying to use reasoning and critical thinking, it suddenly dawns on me that there was a time when “I” was more than “dead”. In fact, “I” never existed. Free floating particles scattered throughout the nothingness somehow all came together in the vastness of space in one location at a point in time to become the conception of my earthly body’s beginning; sperm met egg. The soul spark of life provided, the unfolding blueprint meticulously followed, and then, roughly, nine months later, a fully formed human baby… eyes, brain, organs… all functioning and miraculous to behold arrives.

Darwin, like so many students who fail to narrow their topic for a term paper, came in to the game way too late looking for one tiny needle in a trillion plus haystacks.

Existence happens to all forms of animals, but not all of these animals to my knowledge have any capability whatsoever to contemplate the workings of everything in the knowable universe. Only we humans seem to possess that ability to the nth degree. Why? What is the point?

I can’t imagine that existence is simply existing without something to do in the meantime, but it’s really boring is the answer. Something, or more likely some sentient being caused us to come into existence from a state of being “more than dead” to a state of being fully assembled and functional, having the ability to observe and learn… to reason… to witness the grandeur of the entire spectacle! Again, I ask: Why? What is the point?

If we are merely here for the blink of an eye versus eternity to witness the grandeur of it all, doesn’t it also make some kind of sense that there’s a reason for our witnessing it? Otherwise, there would be no reason for the grandeur of it all to exist, yet there it is just sitting there in all of its glorious, grandiose splendor waiting to be experienced.

As for me, I’ll continue to believe that when my earthly body dies and it returns to the state of being dead once again, my soul that was provided to me to animate the vessel of flesh that I occupied will move on to rejoin Him, the one who placed the soul spark in the first place.

Darwin and now, Darwinists consistently step all around the obvious answer to all of their conundrums. They just can’t seem to bring themselves to say it without some tangible form of evidence. The evidence is all around them waiting to be experienced, but only for the blink of an eye versus eternity!

There are none so blind as those that will not see.
