The Solution of Evolution

Here on the C. Darwin anniversary is an article on evolution in which nearly every paragraph gives us something interesting to think about, in relation to how things came to be and are still coming to be, when it comes to how human beings became the way they are, physically speaking.

And it's all so logical.

That's one of the biggest reasons why creationism makes little if any sense.

Another reason why it can't be preferred is that creationism is really an insult to any Creator or Creators, because when you look around at the large number of true monsters who exist among the human species and so must presumably be also the products of this god or gods and are pleasing to him, she, or them because there are so many of these things, who in their right minds would want to have anything to do with such supposed designers, much less pay endless homage to them?

Evolution is concerned with that kind of thing, though only to the extent of how it affects survival and adapting to the environment around us -- the main business of life itself. And it's surprising how much of a hand in that is given to us and not to any external creators, by evolution For instance in the tastes that build up among us for sexual preference.

You would think that creationism would take into account more seriously what the Holy Bible says in one of its very first statements, about "man" being created in the image of God, and all the rest of the passages about "man's dominion" over all living things. But it doesn't, not when it comes to explaining how various stuff came to be, like blue eyes, or the ability to jump long and high.

Apparently we largely brought that sort of business on ourselves.

It wouldn't be too unholy to assume that kind of responsibility, among many others.
