They have been blinded to reality.
My brother and I have this ongoing thing where, when he or his wife relate something that clearly had God’s hand in happening, the conversation usually starts with “in today’s episode of “Oh, That’s Just A Coincidence”...
Our sister used to say, “If you believe in coincidences, you just aren’t paying attention.”
I am reminded of the insects that they find in amber, millions of years old, yet perfectly formed and fully functional at the time of their death in the yellow sap of the perfectly formed and functional trees of their era.
They are not ‘proto-insects’ that are only partially ‘evolved’, they are complete and obviously formed for their environment.
Never have the paleontologists ever found a transitional fossil of a living animal.
Where is the ‘proto-giraffe’ with a short neck?
Where is the ‘proto-whale and dolphins’ that walked on land?
Where is the ‘proto-penguin’ that once flew?
Where is the ‘proto-bat’ that never flew?
Where is the ‘proto-woodpecker’ with a short beak and weak neck?
They never existed................................
