means the opening of the mouth and the closing of the mind. But it
seems to me that what is at stake is deeper. Evolution verses
creation has cosmic implications to how we live, choices we make,
fears we face and destiny we walk in to. Here's one. Evolution says
you just showed up. The world doesn't want you here, didn't ask for
you nor plan for you. You are on your own in this thing called
life. Provide for yourself, fight for yourself because no one else
will. Hide your weaknesses for this is all about survival of the
fittest.
What a sad life! How much more to have a world created for you that
would overflow with resources! How much more enjoyable to live with
hope that when resources run thin, God who created is still creating
and life is possible. How wonderful to not have to hoard the
resources knowing that God who gives will continue to give in
abundance. How exciting to know that in my weaknesses his strength
is made strong. I do not have to hide my weaknesses, they are the
very places God does his greatest work.
Evolutionary theory goes deeper than scientific debate. It forms who
we are and how we are. Creation theology is written all thru the
scriptures...AS A GIFT! It is a gift that releases us to look at the
world with hope, anticipation, with prayer and possibilities, with
excitement and passion. Creation says I can be authentic, vulnerable
and still be safe. Creation theology says the world is new every
morning, God's mercies are new every morning and each morning is
another opportunity to discover more of who this amazing God is.
Creation theology is the basis of redemption. We were created with
value and still have it even when...
I genuinely feel sad for those who live out of darwinian theory, and
they do live out of it knowingly or unknowingly. It is a closed
world view. Sure, maybe the species will evolve, but slowly. And
that doesn't give much hope for me today. Yep, a lot at stake with
these theories, a lot deeper than the clash of explanation. It is
about a flow of life, joy, hope and destiny. I do believe in
creation. I need it. So does everyone else knowingly or not. And
there it is, lining the pages of the scripture. What a gift!
