The Roman Catholic

There are two schools of evolution theory. One side believe that God was (and still is) involved in guiding evolution so much so that all living things are not an accident but destined to be what they are today and will be in the future.

The other group believe that everything that exists today happened by chance. It happened by chance that the Big Bang occurred and it happened randomly that we are what we are today. I call this the Godless Evolution Theory. Proponents of this theory say that life started when suddenly some molecules got together by chance and life just started by some stroke of luck. Chemists (and I am one) know that chemicals are just some molecules. The only “life” in them is the rotation of electrons around protons and atoms and molecules in motion. They have no clue they even exist.

The Godless Evolution Theorists believe that lifeless chemicals suddenly developed DNA and life took off. This strand of DNA evolved by itself into a myriad of complex DNA that created everything from bacteria, viruses, the fern, the redwood tree, Tyrannosaurus rex, the woolly mammoth, Pocahontas and Deng XiaoPeng.

What I find perplexing is that such a humble strand of chemicals that make up DNA had so much intelligence to change it’s genes as and when required and become a saber tooth tiger from its origin as an amoeba. I can’t grasp such a preposterous claim. Let’s look at this more closely. A tiger in a jungle can’t foresee how to get its dinner although it’s armed with a complex brain but its genes are actually planning it’s evolution into a more formidable predator. This is the irony that the Godless Evolution Theorists expect us to believe.

Let’s take this even further. Lions have been hunting zebras for thousands of years, but the zebra’s DNA has been incapable of anticipating the need for the zebra to develop more potent defense mechanisms like a one-foot claw that can extend from it’s hind feet (similar to Wolverine’s) to swipe the lion’s jugular.
Now, if genes truly decide what modifications an animal need to undertake, I wonder why humans have not developed gills to enable us to swim without drowning and feathers to help us fly. I know from the bottom of my gut that the majority of humans would love to fly, so what prevented our genes from forming feathers on our arms. All some of us have are extra hair than others but definitely nothing that looks remotely like down even. Okay, maybe that’s an absurd example. How about gills - we humans have been swimming for a million years or more, if it’s true that we appeared on earth between 1 and 3 million years ago.

The only way out of this flawed Godless Evolution Theory is to dump it and look at the alternate God Guided Evolution Theory that is more robust to such rigorous challenge.
