"Ultimately the Darwinian theory of evolution is no more nor less than the great cosmogenic myth of the twentieth century.""
And as it becomes more and more refined , so it will remain in the 21rst, 22nd and 23rd centuries . The theory and sciences of evolution do not negate the glory of God , that is what you & the creationists are trying to do. Love God more , by studying science and the great splendors and subtle nuance it reveals in the theory of evolution . Or just love God , make clay , and leave science to the scientists.
Of course when anyone says anything against the theory of evolution, the the fallacy of equivocation kicks in and there is a subtle change in the meaning of the word evolution. Pointing to plant breeding as proof of life evolving from non living matter is hardly compelling argumentation
Since the great meteor struck and ended the reign of the huge lizards a new plant species arrived on the scene which we call "grass", not known ever before Greg .
....The common term for members of the monocotyledon family Graminae. This family contains approximately 9000 species with global distribution. The majority are perennial with long narrow leaves, hollow stems and hermaphroditic flowers. The evolution of grass triggered significant changes in Earth life. It created a novel type of habitat, in which Humans would eventually evolve. Of all Humanity's early domesticates, only one --the cat --was not shaped by the evolutionary pressures imposed by the grasslands.
The key evolutionary innovation of the grasses is their growth pattern. While other plants grow from their tips, grasses grow from their base. Rather than the above-ground bulk of most plants (that block lines of sight and impede movement) the stems of grasses grow underground. This allows them to sustain a significantly greater biomass per square kilometer than could previously existing shrubs. Grazing herbivores could be both large and social, unlike the browsers that preceded them. Adaptations for speed also became more common. The existence of herbivore herds in turn promoted the evolution of social carnivores (lions, wolves, etc.) all of which possess a significant amounts of potential. Ultimately these ecological changes set the stage for the evolution of Humanity.
You see , Solon was not smoking the grass ...he was just enjoying the heaven sent feel of it between his toes. The advent of this new species of plant , led ultimately to the evolutionary environment for developmental changes in mammals , which then ultimately led to --->US.
true story ...all due to the humble blades of grass....and Walt Whitman did a beautiful job in some of the Holiest Scriptures ever written in recent centuries ...The Muse knows no Religion , but inhabits them all.
"Leaves of Grass"

(try the first poem , far more appealing to the divine in you , than anything you probably have encountered in most of your forrays into the creationist's lexicons and struggles with reason and perpetual misunderstandings of God )
;-)
PS: Come to think of it , why are "Craetionists" all such bad poets ...or never write any poetry at all? Yet they expect people to believe they know all about God .
Funny paradox that. Bad poets , but great lovers of God .
Impossible...and true. |
