Raise kids and you will realize that evolution is impossible. Kids destroy. They don’t create and it requires a grown adult parent to withstrain them and clean up after their mess. The world would have gotten nowhere to where it is today with an organized society if it began with kids. In fact, nobody would be alive either. Society would have died a long time ago because kids don’t keep themselves alive. Their parents do. Try telling an infant to grow on their own. They will die. Is it any coincidence that God created Adam & Eve in the garden, full grown adults, not newborn infants?
Life comes from parents who have been trained by parents. That’s how it works today and that is how it has always worked.
(It’s an irreducible complexity that cannot be explained by evolution.)
On the other hand, the logic of evolution is that the simple slowly morphed into a more sophisticated form whereas life today teaches us that the more sophisticated raises the young. The young do not grow old by themself. The already old trains the young and in fact makes sure that they stay alive and can grow mature.
There is no possibility in the world where we live for somebody to grow mature without somebody mature already existing to teach them and nurture them into maturity. The mature breeds the immature. That’s the life that we live.
It’s a true quandary (or false one) that evolution would teach that the immature breeds the mature. This doesn’t make sense if you actually think about it. It only makes lies.
Raise some kids and you will know what I mean. You cannot fit parenting young kids into the box of evolution. And if you do, then you as a parent will begin honoring your children as your elders, and see how that will turn out…just as well as our society that has taught and embraced evolution: chaos & confusion.
Children don’t grow with understanding or wisdom or truth or orientation without an already pre-existent older parent who can teach them & nurture them & keep them alive.
And this is why I believe in God (at least one reason). We would know nothing today without our eternally pre-existent Creator in Heaven making us and teaching us and keeping us alive. That’s how life works on the smaller scale. That’s how life works in the present sense. And that’s how life operates on the greatest scale in the here and now.
Our Eternal Parent God raises us rambunctious disoriented and destructive human beings to become mature full grown adults who can in turn raise more young children who need the same thing as we once did (& continually need).
Let us all learn to see ourselves more as infant children compared to our eternal Father who still need Him to raise us and teach us and conform us more into the image of His only Eternal Son Jesus Christ!
And operating with the same logic, how does one come to know God as our Father? How does one become a child of God? In the same way that a parent makes a child, by the complete work of the creator.
Christians–children of God–don’t become God’s children by pushing themselves out to life. You can’t make yourself into a new creation. This is the work of God just as much as a newborn human is the work of his/her parents and their love.
To become God’s child is the work of our Father God through Jesus Christ His Son & His Holy Spirit to push us out into newness of life.
It’s another quanray that people would think that they can work to attain ‘child of God’ status. This reduces God to a bad parent and it upgrades ourselves to the parent of God because we think that we can make ourselves born when in fact that’s the parents role. Children don’t make their child status, parents do. It’s the work of the parent, not the child.
John 1:12-13 says it well: “But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.”
What’s our part? Submit to God our Father as Divine Parent, Authority, and His Son Jesus as Lord of our life. He is Lord to die for our sins. He lived in our place. Indeed, we are His spiritual offspring if we simply believe.
And it’s God’s role to make us born again to find life in Him.
