We went to the zoo a while back. We saw a variety of animals. The walrus was big and pretty clumsy on land, but could really swim. There were birds there that swam and walked and flew. Some went under water to eat, others ate on land. Still others ate while floating on the water. I can hear it now, "Wow! What powers of observation!"

Well, yes, which makes it really amazing that anyone can believe that all this variety came about from just one glob in a murky (or not so murky) soup billions of years ago. How could such variety of species come from one glob? And how in the world, where there was nothing, did there appear at the same moment, a male and female of the same species so they could continue to propagate. How can that be? For millions of years, nothing, then all of a sudden, male and female of the same species appeared simultaneously. The odds of that happening are so great as to be non-existent. One would be hard enough, but two, of opposite sex, compatible with each other? Can anyone really believe that?

If you do, then try taking the transition from ape to man (and woman). There are no transition fossils to be found. If we are constantly evolving, wouldn't you think there would be some evolving going on somewhere that we could observe? There isn't any. Not even any from much lower species to just a step above. Not one, let alone two at the same time so the "new" species can continue.

With all the variety I saw at the zoo, with all the different kinds of reproduction in the world and the way they continue to remain the same, makes me realize that there is someone who created all this. I am not, we are not, random atoms of chance. We were designed, created by someone more powerful than we are. Once that fact hits a person, the very next thing I would want to do is to find out who that being is. Why did He do all this? And the more pressing question is this: What He wants from me? I wouldn't rest until I found out.
