THE COMEDY OF EVOLUTION
1 Corinthians 2:14 “But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” Allow me to ask your forgiveness at the outset. Today’s devotional will no doubt appear comical to many of you. I have come to realize that there are some philosophies, theories and ideas that are so ridiculous that comedy is the only appropriate way to display such folly. I need you to do me a favor. I want you to take a baseball bat and smash the windshield of your car. If you don’t have a car, smash your television set, your smartphone or your china cabinet. Now here is the fun part. I want you to leave all the shattered pieces on the floor and just wait. Eventually, after some time, the windshield, china cabinet, smartphone and television will all repair themselves. Sounds ridiculous. This my beloved brother and sister, is in essence, the nonsense of evolution. To actually think that rhinos, eagles, people and planets all came about because of some unique phenomenon that will never be duplicated, is in reality more absurd than waiting for the china cabinet to put itself back together with no human assistance. Sometimes life is not so complicated. Cakes don’t simply bake themselves. China cabinets and windshields don’t repair themselves. Neither do galaxies nor planets appear from pixie dust.
