Creationis­t belief in a divine Creator is a superior narrative

-

THE variance between Creationis­ts and Evolutioni­sts is hidden under racist subterfuge. Both have some evidence to prove a point but somehow fail to realise that both opinions are valid, depending on the agenda. The Creationis­t belief in a divine Creator is, however, a vastly superior narrative.

Example: if a tree falls down, it cannot evolve into a boat and sail itself. If it lies on the ground for years, an animal may burrow into the tree and turn it into a habitat, etc. The tree could decompose and turn into fertiliser. To make a boat, carpentry skills are vital and to sail the ocean, a sailor with navigation skills is needed. However, it could be argued that the tree evolved from a sprout which evolved from a seed. Therefore, a boat or yacht is essentiall­y the evolutiona­ry product of a simple seed.

If I were to go about telling people that the warships of the ancient world were “seeds”, I would be measured insane. Ironically, the point from origin is logical, what is required is context and reason.

So, if a fish or crocodile or hippo are connected because they live in or outside water, so what?

The problem arises when humans are involved as some want to believe in “evolutiona­ry speed” to support the theory of racial supremacy. Evolutioni­sts’ primary narrative is that humans came from an “ape-like hybrid”. So, the more evolved you are, the less likely you resemble an “ape-like hybrid”.

This fits into the racist context of apartheid and all racist theories. The idea is that dark-skinned folk with fewer refined features are on a different evolutiona­ry scale to Europeans. This is the underlying theory evolutioni­sts subtly suggest.

But, when all humans are descendant from Adam and Eve who were made by a Creator as narrated in the Torah, Bible and Qur’an, it is a problem and therefore evolutioni­sts must undermine the divine texts.

As a result, the divine texts are subjected to insane levels of scrutiny and attack. Ironically, if the same measure of scrutiny was levelled at the evolutiona­ry argument, the theory would collapse.

Evolutioni­sts reject “Noah’s flood” though the “ark” has been discovered on Mount Ararat in Turkey. How did a huge ancient vessel get high-up on a snow-peaked mountain far away from the ocean? CLLR YAGYAH ADAMS | Cape Muslim Congress
