I want to take a brief break from listing evidence for God…
…to focus on the mysticism of evolutionary theory.
NYT: About 50 million years ago, dog-like mammals returned to the seas, eventually evolving into whales and dolphins. Around then, too, an early cousin of elephants took the plunge, giving rise to manatees and dugongs.
NYT: About 20 million years later, bearlike mammals also waded back into the sea, evolving into seals, sea lions and walruses.
NYT: Charles Darwin was the first to recognize that marine mammals evolved from ancestors on land. The clues were in their anatomy: Seal flippers are just modified feet. The whale’s blowhole is a nose that has migrated.
NYT: More recently, the DNA of marine mammals has revealed more details about their adaptations. Some genes evolved to do new things, but others simply stopped working, scientists have found.

So- some will be asking- then why do evolutionists see evidence everywhere if it’s just magic and faith? Because to a six year old boy with a hammer, everything in the world looks like a nail.
IMHO, and God’s, here’s why: Rom 1:18-20.
JB, I knew an honest atheist who agrees with your conclusion: Belief in evolution requires more faith than belief in God. He acknowledged that his choice to disbelieve in got made it necessary for him to believe in evolution by faith despite the contrary scientific evidence. Yes, he was honest enough to recognize that the science does NOT support it.
Hey, I used the reply button under the relevant comment, and the system treated it like a comment on the OP.
Careful. Some of those kids might WANT to become some kind of mutant.
If you’d like a good read on the topic, I’d recommend The Language of God by Francis S. Collins. Collins is a committed Christian and headed up the Human Genome Project.
I’m so grateful to have the pastor I do! Enjoy! http://harvestreno.org/messages/2012-10-03
Evolution has all the POOF! 😂
“Millions of years later, dogs frolicked too long in the water, lost their legs and fur, grew flippers and started breathing through a blow hole.”
That might be a great line for helping to get kids out of the water, however. Like, listen up people, do you want to grow flippers and start breathing through a blow hole? Look at those pruney fingers, you are evolving already! Next thing you know, we’re going to see you starring in an Xman movie like some kind of mutant sea dog.
They should’ve started that story with “Once upon a time….” Of course, it doesn’t make a very interesting children’s bedtime story.
I disagree. The story of the the fish that became a dog that became a whale would be a fantastic bedtime story! The problem is, it’s called “science” in public schools.
Quite a long story though…20 million years between plot changes. Hopefully, they leave out the boring middle bits. Oh wait…they do! Because they have no proof of those connecting parts. Bearlike mammal…POOF! It’s a sea lion. Voila!
You’re right, it is a story about magic.
