A God versus no God. Creation versus Evolution
The question that never goes away. The question that has no answer until our death. Both sides of the argument require belief through faith and the constant use of statements with no proof to support the arguments. At times these arguments are totally irrational and without any basis in provable fact.
Those who would have us believe that there is a God rely upon blind faith to convince us. The major force is the belief in an after life with a heaven or hell. I have often been told that many communities have lived and flourished without religion and the belief in God. I have never read anything to support this idea and I would certainly be interested to know of any such group or civilisation. The most recent attempt in history to create such a civilisation has been the various communist nations. Even the total power of these nations could not stop their citizens following a religion even when those citizens were subjected to extreme torture and death.
Both sides believe in either blind faith to convince us. In the extreme on both sides blind faith is substituted with force in one form or another. This force can lead to total destruction of a town, city or even an entire civilisation. The atrocities of the no God systems are not so well documented throughout history as they are such a new idea.
Man naturally tends to believe in some form of higher being and every civilisation throughout our history has a God (or Gods) and an afterlife. Those who chose to publicly talk against this were usually killed. Even if you believed in God in a different way you would still be killed. Throughout the history of man religion has been used as a reason to attack another country and to destroy other civilisations.
It is necessary to make it clear here that not all evolutionist do not believe in God. On the contrary there are more evolutionist who believe in God than those who do not. On the other side of the coin those who believe there is no God will always believe in evolution as it is impossible to say there is no God then to agree that man was created by some supreme being.
We also have the absurd situation where many religious people have tried to marry God and evolution, We then come up with the idea of a God controlled evolution. Just because the evolutionists have developed such an aura of fact about them I think it is ridiculous to have to jump into bed with them. Make them prove their argument with actual facts and not just a lot of bluster.
It is time to look at the history of evolution. The Roman empire realised the advantages of developing a belief in an alternative idea to creation and they invented the first true idea of evolution that I know of. With the end of the Roman empire these ideas ceased to exist. It was not a wise idea to try to espouse the truth of evolution in the early Islamic empire or any part of the rest of the world during the Christian dark ages. Those who did try died in some very horrible ways.
The idea of evolution lay dormant in surviving Roman writings until the worldwide expansion of the British empire. The British Isles is a small country and, by world standards, they also had a small population. As the British empire expanded through Africa, the Middle East, India, China, the Pacific, and the Americas they needed a way of controlling their newly conquered countries. They also needed a way to justify the use of African slaves to be used in the Americas. Another problem was to convince their own people that what they were doing was justifiable and in the name of God. At the same time they needed extensive armed forces at home to fight in the ongoing wars against other European countries as well as keeping the Irish, Welsh and Scotts in line.
Onto this scene arrived a great man who had studied the Roman writings on evolution and who, after a trip to the ends of the earth where no one else was ever likely to go to dispute his findings, came up with the perfect solution to all the British problems. Suddenly they had Dawins theory of evolution to justify everything and anything they wanted to do in the extensive British empire.
They could now prove under the theory of evolution that the black races of the world were low down on the evolutionary scale. They were in fact only one step up the ladder from the apes. What a blessing it was to be able to move into Africa and round up mobs of these backward un-evolved black animals to use as slaves. They could be treated in the same way as any other lower class of animal.
This idea also helped in their occupation of newly discovered countries. When Cook arrived in Australia he reported that the country was not occupied and the British would be able to claim it without any legal problems. Under the laws of Darwins evolution the Australia Aboriginal was not human. Their evolution was still at the level of other animals so Australia could be claimed as there were no human occupants. In actual fact the Australian aboriginal was so far down the evolutionary scale that they were not even useful as slaves or servants. In Tasmania the final solution was to round them up like a pack of dogs and dump them all on an island were they were left to die. The problem was solved as there were none left.
Once other European nations saw the brilliance of this new theory they jumped on it as it also solved all their problems in the new worlds they were taking. Suddenly the complete genocide in South America and other countries was justifiable.
Evolution was the perfect solution offered to God fearing Christians.
Imagine the even greater advantage that it offered to the next major force in the world. The no God communist countries where there were two choices. Loose religion or die. Millions of those who refused to renounce religion were massacred.
The total absurdity of the use of skin colour to show the degree of evolution is that all skin is naturally black. White skin is caused by a defect in the gene that pigments the skin. The lighter the skin the more the defect in the gene.
Every Christian depicts God as white skinned yet Christianity teaches that God made man in his own image. Does this mean that Christianity claims that God has faulty genes and is therefore not perfect or is the absurd assumption that God is actually black possible.
There is no evidence to support the theory of evolution so it is just a totally irrational argument. The bone diggers have gone back millions of years through the fossil records of this planet and not one sign of transition from one form to another has ever been found. Every species that has lived on this planet and ceased to exist have done just that. They have ceased to exist. They have not mutated into another life form. I have seen all the drawings describing the transition between ape to man. These are just drawings and do not have any proof in fossil records. There have also been many fraudulent attempts at creating go between fossils. Some were very good and fooled a lot of people for a long time but in the end they have all proved to be wrong.
At different times there have been different species of man with the present day version being Homo Sapiens. At times different species coexisted. The stronger of these species lived on while the other became extinct. One species did not evolve into the other.
There is evidence for creation. If every species of life on earth has suddenly arrived without any evidence of any evolution from one species to another where did they suddenly come from. Another great theory during the middle ages was that life could somehow suddenly appear through some type of chemical reaction. I believe this about as much as I believe that evolution will be proven one day with the sudden appearance of huge supplies of fossil remains of transitional life forms.
If gradual evolution did not occur then how do evolutionist explain the sudden appearance of species. If they did not somehow materialise from some chemical reaction for no reason then they needed to be created.
If all species on earth were created and did not evolve then who was the creator? This is my own proof of the existence of a being of far greater intelligence than ours and I will stick with a single God and do not subscribe to the alien theory.
I have a great interest in the history of species on this planet and I have read extensively about many theories. I am not perfect and my knowledge is far from being even close to complete. I would be very pleased if anyone can give me proof of the existence of evolution as I have searched for it and not found any proof what so ever. Not even one tiny shred of evidence exists that I am aware of. The fossil evidence for the arrival and extinction of species does exist for all species.
