Ok - time for a little Holiday fun. I know I should probably be finishing up Part 2 of “Missed Opportunities”, but I felt like something in the Holiday spirit first.

It should be known, and so it is my duty to tell you, that there are scientists who believe every person alive today can be traced back to a single-celled organism. And that all of us are actually the result of nature acting on this cell over time. And this first cell is believed to have gone through an explosive multi-cellular stage before taking on fish-like characteristics. Some have said that as time passed, the fish-like characteristics gave way to to reptile-like characteristcs. And after more time had passed, the reptile-like characteristics gave way to mammal-like characteristics. And these same folks also believe that we once had tails, and that we had smaller brains, and that we were naked and lacked the ability to effectively communicate. And to make things worse, this purely naturalistic view of humanity seems to leave no room for God to work wonderful creation miracles, or for Him to personally fashion mankind by His own hands. This so called, “scientific” view - even though science itself can’t fully explain it - simply asserts that we were fashioned by the impersonal laws of nature acting on the biological material of lower species. In short, we are a product of nature.

What is this dangerous idea that seems to leave God out of the picture? Some of you have probably already guessed it. It’s not evolution. And it’s not even controversial.

It’s simply the science of embryology and the process it describes takes about 9 months from start to finish. And what’s even more amazing is that God subjected Himself to this same process to become one one of us, in the person of Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas!
