Once Upon a Time... or ...

“Millions of years ago” is kinda like saying, "Once Upon A Time..." You know when you hear it you are going to have to user your imagination for a framework of understanding, and that anything can happen. You know immediately that your mind is going to have to grasp the concept of the gradual evolution of mankind.

The "millions of years" concept is important to evolutionists because any reasoning thinking humans would figure out that it must have taken a really, really long time for microscopic bacteria to change and grow into other creatures and finally end up as a human. Not only that, no one who is alive now has witnessed any such thing and no one who was alive when it was taking place wrote about it then for our understanding today. Like a fairytale, the idea is simply something that could have occurred, possibly... well, maybe... and if it did then certainly it would have had to have happened somewhere far away in the distant past of earth, sometime, a long time, a long, long, long, long, long, long time ago... even millions of years ago.

The belief that man is… more or less, is nothing more, or less, than an evolved life form and a product of random chance is a prominent philosophy that has planted inself on earth. It's everywhere. You find in in children's books and college textbooks, even on signs in America’s National Parks. It is presented and spoken about with such assurance you would think someone was an actual eyewitness to it all, but they weren't and it' rather unproved and unprovable, but they believe it.

Evolution teaches that everything in the whole entire physical universe, came into being when something exploded out of nothing. Yes, prior to life being life, (if you believe in evolution,) there was nothing; and it was all located smack dab in the middle of nowhere! Rumor has it, (in evolutionary circles) that suddenly, (at least according to all human calculations regarding the probability of such an incredible occurrence,) without warning, in an act of random chaos, there was a… BANG! And out popped.. you guessed it.. something... maybe even a universe! Of course from that point it took “millions, maybe even billions and billions of years, to get to where we are today, but evolutionists are convinced this is how it happened.

Amazing isn’t it?

They call it the Big Bang as if there were some sort of sound to it all.

As the story goes… over time, (probably millions of years,) male and female, eyes of fish, feather of fowl, fur of feline and other four-footed mammalian creatures would “evolve” and eventually, they turned into apes and subhuman species who got smarter and smarter. until one day homo sapien sapien appeared, smart enough to build tools, machines, rockets and other various laboratory equipment to figure out where everything in life the world and the universe originated instead of wondering how it was that the bacteria in the petri dish, the very thing they thought they came from made them ill! Charles Darwin, considered the father of evolution, is credited with putting all this scientific information into its story form for our ultimate understanding and his 1859 book on the subject of human origins rocked the world.

“Natural selection,” and the concepts of life forms on earth getting better and better because superior life forms survive and inferior life forms die out, might have been obvious before Darwin was born and went to school; but Darwin made it “scientific” and proper, at least for “educated” men, to think in these terms about life on earth. For a long time, the concept of man evolving from apes was accepted, especially as some form of justification for the way some people treated both animals and human beings of other races., but it didn’t take long for God fearing people to take issue with the concepts and many people saw clearly that such ideas of “favored races” promoted “racism,” and that the principle of “survival of the fittest” justified wrongly killing other human beings.

Even non believers saw that the whole philosophical idea provided little or no moral basis for human behavior to be any different from that of wild beasts and great public debate in free societies began between these two major opposing viewpoints. Debates continue to this day, with creationist on one side of the issue, evolutionist on the other and everyone else with on foot on each side, some even making up a whole new story that they like better, something they can believe in, something they find easy to believe.
