The Big Questions

          I have no idea how the study of science can cause anyone to cease believing in God.  Because when studying science, you discover that simple chemicals and compounds work in simultaneous and automatic harmony to create and maintain everything  that exists.  And to me that's incredible and only leaves me in awe of an awesome Creator, who gave everything a system, everything a purpose and everything a partner so that LIFE beautiful LIFE could occur.  And these aren't just basic logical systems, but are complex formulas consisting of millions of tiny parts all somehow able to coexist and function.  Now no one can doubt that a species uses natural selection and evolves. If that wasn't true than all people would look the same and a species would look the same as it did millions of years ago.  It frustrates me when people automatically mistake the process of evolution for the Evolutionary Theory that states that humans evolved from primates, which evolved from some other creature.  You CAN believe in evolution (the changing of a species through natural selection, which is obviously exists) while at the same time believing that God created everything.  While the Evolutionary Theory is logical, there are some some huge and discrediting holes.  For instance, if everything evolved out of the want and need to survive then what about emotions?  Sure, love can be explained by the need to reproduce and protect the species, envy and ambition by the need to win and get resources to survive.  But emotions like sympathy, sadness, and self evaluating my cause us to sacrifice, an action that, in theory, would hurt the species.  And the complexity of genes, personalities, and desires would never be necessary when the need was to simply sustain life and not enjoy or experience it.  Scientists themselves are now discovering that DNA and other systems are so complex that the likelihood of them evolving to that level in the amount of time the Earth has existed is slim.  So while I sit in biology class and learn that every protein  is extremely diverse and complex, but are constructed of just twenty different acids, I don't think that's an accident or a coincidence of any sort, but the handy work of my Father.
