Robert - I would very much like you to consider the following.



Firstly, I realize that you do not believe in Christianity, however I do believe you have faith. You seemed to express a belief in evolution to explain life as we see it, but considering the lack of biological mechanisms to make that possible and the lack of transitional fossils in the rocks, it would appear that you do have faith in something. For neither Creation nor Evolution can be proved. I know you mentioned a few fossils, but if we are honest with each other, I think we both can conclude that the evidence one would expect to find is lacking. You want material and nature to be all that there is, but I don’t think your faith is something you are willing to ignore. You want to know what is true, and I don’t think defining science as that which you can see and prove is going to be an honest quest for truth.



Secondly, I hope you will take an honest look at yourself, how you feel emotions, how you have a knowledge of right and wrong, how you love your wife, and how you want justice and fairness, how your conscious directs you, how it moves you when you read about disasters and the desire you have to help people in need…evolution just does not produce those things. I believe you are much more than just an extension of the animal kingdom. You do not act like animal, you were created distinct from the rest of the animal kingdom. You behave as one who was created in the image of God, someone who has a conscious, loves, thinks, and communicates. God has created you to the way you are and have given you dignity, and that is something no naturalistic explanation can give you because it does not have an accurate picture of how you came to be. If you think that material is all there is, take a look at your wife and realize how much you love her. Your experience alone will tell you that there is something more, for there is nothing else that can explain the way you feel for her. On paper you believe it does not exist, but your experience will show you that it does.



If apes and man have the same ancestor, then why should one be locked behind bars in a zoo while the other paints works of art? Consider a Biblical worldview and I think you will understand why that is the case.
