As Concerns Evolution and Giraffes

   As I was going through some #sciencesunday posts today I found video of a well known scientist and a few others that were dissecting a giraffe. As they were pointing out in the video a point about a certain nerve, the recurrent laryngeal, that can be found in many mammals, I thought that it was interesting that it was said:

"Its a beautiful example of historical legacy as opposed to design."

"This is not an "intelligent design"."

Does an intelligent creator need to be bound to a certain way of thinking? Do humans always build homes that are the most efficient? Or do they also build homes that they enjoy living in, or looking at? What makes scientists think that the creator didn't create what he wanted to create? Do they think that he was bound by some laws? Perhaps the laws they create for him? I think not.

This argument is not one of logic, or even one that has really been thought through. As many of them are, it is a quick effort to make an intelligent creator, and those who believe in him, feel stupid. Should we feel stupid? Most definitely not!

When these posts raise up from the woodwork, atheists with their banners, remain logical like Jesus himself was. Like Paul was! Talk to people one on one. Don't go into a room of Atheists just to start an argument with them. Perhaps a personal email or message would be more effective in teaching.

Teaching in a public domain is much different than it was in Paul's day. Many scientist are as the enemies of Jesus time, very well educated but not in faith. They were versed in the absolution of the law, but not the facts of faith and principle.

Faith is, in fact, one of the most logical things there is. When we are buying a car and we sign a registration form we have faith that that form represents a fact of ownership for us. Should the situation arise we could even present it as "proof" right. Then faith becomes fact. Something we use and see everyday.

Without rambling much more I will conclude by reinforcing that we, as Christians, do not need to fight and argue with anyone. Seek out those willing to be teachable and reasonable; and remember to "take your leave" should the need arise.
