Evolution
Science and Religion will
have you believe their own version of how man arrived on Earth, both arguing
their case with conviction and determination.
NEITHER is correct.
A scientist recently stated
that man and all other creatures on this Earth, are like the branches and twigs
on a tree, and each new branch/twig is a different and evolved creature, thus
making up the multitude of life on Earth.
To state that a tree with
many branches, and each branch having sub branches, and each sub branch having
further sub branches, leading to the tips of twigs as being species, is totally
misleading and wrong. It’s a very
scientific statement, but has a major failing.
If you took a DNA sample
from the newest twig (or species, as the scientist states), and then compared
it with a DNA sample from the base of the trunk of that tree, it would result
in an exact match. Why? Because the tree is of one species, it’s of
one family only, it has not been cross bred with any other tree, and at no
point could the DNA of that tree be different.
A tree WILL grow to its
extent, and will produce the means to produce other similar trees of its OWN
kind, but cannot turn into another species of tree.
Man has found ways to alter
the DNA of things, to fit or adapt them into environments that would not
normally be possible or feasible.
Man plays Creator with many
things, genetic transformation and mutation, to suit a need or purpose, or a
whim, or just to see if it CAN be done, but this is all done with mans
interference, and is not possible without it.
So the tree idea of
scientists is a non starter, and the wrong path to follow.
Yes evolution plays its
part, but in a totally different way to this scientific conclusion.
Theories and guesswork are
never going to explain the beginning of Man, and the reason he exists.
Consider this, there are
around 2,000,000 species that have been NAMED on the Earth, with millions more
that have not, un-named and unknown species exist, in, on, and under the
planet’s surface, including the vast amount of creatures that you are never
likely to encounter or have knowledge of, in your own lifetime, that live in
the seas and rivers/lakes of the Earth. Separate
from these, there are also millions upon millions of species that live in the
air you breathe, the atmosphere and skies above you. You cannot possibly see or
know this because it is yet beyond mans ability to see these invisible forms,
but they exist.
Here’s an example that you
should easily understand, take a mattress on a bed, to your human vision it
looks free of life, clean sheets, bed linen etc etc. Nothing to think about there?
Look again under a
microscope, magnified, and you will see a world that exists, better than any
science fiction movie! Filled with many creatures
on a miniscule scale.
So, there is much more life
around you than you realise, are ALL these related to man; as in the scientists
explanation of the ‘tree’? Do they ALL
follow the same chain of evolution, splitting into different species at certain
points?
That is a question you need
to examine with your own Free Will, and decide on.
Do you seriously think that
Man, apes, elephants, alligators, mice, insects and microscopic creatures are
all part of the same chain of Evolution?.
Not forgetting that for
165,000,000 years on Earth, the Dinosaurs dominated the planet, where in the
Scientists ‘tree’ does this get considered and explained?
Today in the world, are many
variations of animals that never existed before, why? Because man has interfered
with the process, to produce different strains for their own personal use or
gain. But not different species!
A dog is a dog, even cross breeding to an amazing extent,
will still only produce a Dog, but one with characteristics that that the
breeder has required, none the less it’s still a dog.
The same applies to anything
that Man has learned how to interfere with, these would be the sub species that
Scientists talk of, but in fact they are ONLY possible with Mans intervention,
and has no connection with evolution as they state.
So, does Religion have the
answer to Mans existence?
The simple answer is NO, and
here’s why:
Almost all religious beliefs
have one comparable element, that Man is the creation of a God and while this
has some merit this is now too simple an explanation
for modern man brought about by different cultures that have handed down
stories and myths from century to century, embellished and altered along the
way, to give their own personal ‘God’ a reverence or status above all others.
Word of mouth being the
first way of relating these stories, then as writing appeared, in written
scrolls and books, but with each telling, a new element added or removed, to
make an incredible story of an unbelievable power in the Universe.
So powerful that groups,
factions, followers and believers, tribes and cultures took up their own
version of this almighty powerful higher being.
Whole religions formed,
effigies erected, building dedicated to that ‘God’ and worship patterns formed.
Peoples from these religions
were selected or self anointed into leaders of the faith, higher powers granted
to act as direct Messengers of their Gods, with almost as much power!
Man used this as a form of
Control, control to gain power and wealth, and as time went by, Wars were
fought in their names.
Throughout Human history,
there are those that become pivotal in effecting a drastic change in Mans
perception of Religion and the beginnings of Man himself, until it became the
most powerful force on Earth.
I am not going to get into
any Religious debate or argument, because Religion is a man made concept, it
does NOT have any meaning or connection to how the Earth was formed, nor how it
was given life, including the introduction of Man.
Most religious believers/followers
will have as their basis, their version of the Holy book or scriptures etc, and
what is written within those books is wholly believed and accepted.
Mostly, it is believed that
a God created the earth and everything on and within it, and then created man,
in the form of Adam or the equivalent in their own faith, Adam being in the
likeness of his God. Following this, the
book tells you, that this God, then created woman, Eve, to keep the Man Company.
Eve was created from Adam,
by removing a rib bone from Adam, and then producing a female from the rib.
How can that be? Adams DNA
would only produce another Adam, as a clone, certainly not a female.
Consider this, every single
human being that is formed, started its life As Female, and it is only in the
Females womb, that the determination of the sex of the baby, is concluded.
In effect, Mankind is
predominantly female in the first instance, so it would not make any sense or
logic, to believe that a Male would be the first of Mankind, when clearly it is
the female that gives life to man.
In religious books there is
a multitude of amazing stories, to astound and mystify the population, that all
begin their journey with the invention of Man by their own particular God.
So if every Religion believes
that their ‘God’ is responsible for their creation, then there must have been
very many ‘first Men’ and all of these ‘Gods’ that live in the Heavens above, must all know
each other, for there is only one Universe above us, and yet they disagree with
each other, otherwise why would they need to create a man of their own?
Scientists will disagree
with every religion and faith, simply because they cannot believe in ‘Myths,
fantasies, stories and folk tales’ as a logical explanation for life on Earth
and the creation of Man. They of course
are correct in this thinking, but neither the Scientist nor the Religious
person is correct in their explanation of Mans arrival on Earth.
Mans early understanding that something greater
than himself created Man and all other creatures was correct but was over
simplified by an unsophisticated mind, but is less complicated than the varied
religions that sprang out of this early understanding.
There was a first Man on the
Earth.
For the explanation of the
first intelligent man, and the difference between this Man and the primitives
that inhabited the Earth at that time, there will be a full account available
here on this site.
What you have to know, is this,
The Creator of the entire Universe is the reason that life exists on this
planet and that without this Intelligent Man’s involvement at that time, Free Will
would never have been introduced into man’s DNA, and the Evolution of man
himself would be far different from how it has become.
Evolution exists, it is how ALL
species including Man, grow. As time
passes, man learns more and more, adapts better to his environment, uses his
new knowledge to build a better living environment for himself, more
comfortably, making life easier and less laborious, and as these things happen,
man gets weaker than his ancestors, mainly by not needing the strength and
stamina required to hunt and gather as he ancestors did.
Generally Man is becoming
more and more intelligent and adaptable, but with this he becomes more
destructive, less concerned about where the resources he needs to maintain his
comfort and lifestyle come from, and more so, less concerned on the effect it
has on the Earth and its inhabitants as a whole.
The Earth is at risk, and as
such, all Human life on it is standing on a very precarious edge, the balance
is not in your favour, but it is within your capability to alter it. Evolution is a planetary concern and without
mindful evolution of the human species all life forms will be affected.
