Outdoor Truths: Aiming Outdoorsmen Toward Christ September 5th
As Charles Darwin studied different species he concluded that macro evolution must have taken place because (for one reason) many species were just so poorly designed. He actually concluded that if God would have made these certain species, He would have made them more efficient and thus since they were not made with this efficiency, life must have evolved. If we think about this conclusion we should immediately ask; “Mr. Darwin, how do you know what God’s purpose was when He made each creature? Was God’s goal in making each species only efficiency? Could He not have made a certain critter just for its own beauty? Even if that beauty was only appreciated by its own mother – and God?” It is not really science when one’s philosophy determines the outcome. And much of Darwin’s conclusions came as a result of his assuming he knew what God would do. Why am I telling you this? God has made each one of us unique. In some things we seem to use our design to it most effectiveness. In other areas we are constantly striving to reach potential. But it seems logical to think that if God had only wanted efficiency, He could have made robots. Instead He made us for His pleasure and designed us as the beautiful person He envisioned. So whether you or others think you are a possum, God thinks you are special. And while circumstances may have diminished your efficiency, God may have just made you with a little more splendor in mind. Either way, you were wonderfully created by a loving God who sees the beautiful you.
