Darwin’s theory badly flawed
Editor:
Art Ferguson’s letter (Okanagan Weekend, Aug. 19) prompts me to address what he writes about (the elimination of any reference to God from the public realm and the overall breakdown of morality).
My opinion is Darwin’s Theory of Evolution has been a main contributor to it all. Darwin’s theory is badly flawed by not acknowledging God’s involvement in any evolutionary process; how anyone who gives the theory serious thought can find it credi-- ble without God’s involvement just boggles my mind.
Darwin and his proponents theorize that life first started here on Earth when some inorganic minerals and acids combined, turned organic and became a living cell; furthermore, they theorize that that cell somehow multiplied and evolved to become, eons later, millions of different living species: grasses, plants, insects, vertebrata, birds, fish, animals, etc., one as complex as a human being.
Adding to the unlikelihood of that process unfolding as the Darwinists believe, is the necessity for each species to have two different body structures, one male and one female, so that the species might reproduce.
I ask you to seriously think about the complexity of the human body. A human body is made-up of trillions of individual cells, each of which has to work in perfect harmony with all others to form: different organs, a brain (smarter than any computer), five senses, and having other attributes as abstract as a conscience, a sense of right or wrong (for most people), a need for love, etc.
Consider the complexity of the human eye, the digestive system, the reproductive system, the immune system, etc. Belief in Darwin’s theory makes as much sense as believing that a tornado could suck into the sky the contents of a lumber/hardware store and, miles away minutes later, deposit it all back on the ground as a complete, ready-tolive-in house.
Which came first? Male or female; the chicken or the egg; the eye, the heart or the liver? When evolutionists can answer those questions and scientists can produce living organisms from inorganic matter then Darwin’s theory might seem more plausible.
The widespread lack of awareness that God is the Creator of all life on Earth can largely be attributed to the teaching of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution in our schools. Until Darwin’s theory is debunked by the scientific community and dropped from school curriculum, a further decline in morality can be expected.
If we are ever to see more of peace and harmony in our lives, belief in God must become the norm and God’s laws (the Ten Commandments) must serve as the foundation for establishing family and national values. From God we came, as one of God’s creations we live, to God we will return.
