Consider the frog

I won't mention names but I had a conversation with someone several months ago about evolution. Now, I do not believe the evolution theory but this person certainly did. This person's defense was, "All you have to do to know evolution is fact is consider the frog."

So, I said something along the lines of, "So, you're saying that the frog proves evolution because it starts as an egg, becomes a tadpole, grows legs, jumps out of the water as a frog?" To which this person said, "Exactly." I continued by saying that that is not proof of evolution. Number one that is metamorphosis, not evolution. The frog is always a frog; it just goes through natural changes from one phase of life to another.Number two, that is the same thing a butterfly goes through. And, number three, we humans do the same thing: we start as a fertilized egg, able to live in water, grow limbs, eyes, etc., then, are delivered into this life as a small human. That's not evolution, that is creative design.

Today's verse is a very familiar one from Psalm 139:14, ESV, which reads, "I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are Your works; my soul knows it very well."

GOD designed us just as we are - fearfully and wonderfully made. It is amazing to me how it all works! GOD knew what I was going to look like, how tall I was going to be, how much I was going to weigh, before I was born - He made me! I started out as a little bitty fellow, just over five pounds I believe. But, I grew into a full fledged human adult because that is how GOD made me.

If evolution was a viable theory, why aren't we still evolving? Why do we still have monkeys/apes? Why does the frog not become more than a frog. Because, that's how GOD designed it.

Be Blessed,
