The Beauty of Change: Darwin and Creation

Darwin was an amazing scientist who began to see the world in a way that was unconventional during his time.  He theorized that every species on the planet began to develop into something more complex and environmentally sturdy.  He called this theory evolution.  This is why I relate Darwin with Creation.  Although I believe that in certain areas Darwin’s views were taken to an extreme, I do understand and agree with the fact that every species on earth must evolve to survive, even human beings.  I see in this theory that when God created man, he gave us an underlying skill set in our genes that would allow us to grow and ultimately survive throughout the ages.  Many people see evolution as contradictory to Christianity; however, I encourage those who feel that way to see Darwin’s theory in a different light.  God loved us so much, that although we were unworthy of survival, God equipped us with the genetics necessary to continue on and become prosperous.  Everything in God’s kingdom was created to evolve and produce a world that is beautiful and ever changing.  As people we love to discover new things and search the world for new beauties, and I believe that to delight us, God created the world to change.  Therefore, I relate Darwin very strongly to creation.
