Creation? Evolution? Or a bit of both...
"All great truth begins as blasphemy." George Bernard

I've been watching with interest a number of local cable access
programs dealing with the subject of creationism vs. evolution. Both sides seem
adamant: we are right. Can both sides be right?
First, the theory of evolution as laid down by Charles Darwin
has many holes and even the evolutionists are aware of it. Things like long
strands and repetitions of amino acids, and DNA stuff that boggles the mind.
Even temperatures in places that should still be cold, and cold spots that
should have warmed up four billion years ago. That sort of thing. And eyes
can't come into existence fully formed according to the Darwinian perspective;
everything has to evolve gradually, slowly, in small increments.
But an eye,
only in part, serves no purpose.
The eye must come already intact. It cannot do
that according to the theory of evolution. Same with other organs and materials
in bodies, plants, and even water.
It's not only complicated, but also weird. Both sides push
positions that bear more critical investigation.
