Blame it on Darwin
I don’t understand the controversy between the creationists and the evolutionists…those that believe in God and those that believe solely in Darwinism. Let me offer some proof that both exist. Take man for example. The creationists believe that God created man out of nothing more than clay and then gave him Eve. I can buy that. And being the benevolent God that he probably is, he endowed them, alone among all creatures on earth, with the power of speech. And so Adam and Eve would talk. And listen. To each other. Adam would tell Eve how his day was going. “Hi Eve. You know aside from a little chest pain, I’m feeling pretty good today. How about you, honey?” “Well, I feel pretty good today too, Adam, here have an apple.”
So, for a long time Adam and Eve conversed together. Adam would ta
lk and Eve would listen. Then Eve would talk and Adam would listen. “That old pain seems to be going away, Eve, how are you?” “I’m just great, Adam, here have another apple.” This was all well and good for several eons.
Then other people starting coming around and Adam and Eve had more to talk about. Then alot more people came and Adam and Eve had alot more to talk about. Especially, Eve. She started to have more to talk about than Adam. “You know sweets, I felt so good today, that I ran a 5K, how about you?” “Well, I baked an apple pie for those new folks, you know the ones that moved across the garden, the one’s with the baby that’s always crying, well, I went over and said, how’s your baby today and, well you won’t believe what she was wearing and….” So, as time went by, Adam found that he was having more and more difficulty hearing everything that Eve was saying. Adam had started to evolve.
So, over the years…about 3 or 4 million or so…man has continued to evolve. His chest pains began to disappear, except when he smokes too much, he only has to shave once or twice a day and his hearing started to become more selective about what he could process. And, as his body evolved so did his speech. Phrases like, “and what else happened, ?” were replaced with, “..sorry, what’d you say ?…” and “that’s interesting, honey…” became ”…uh, huh…” Eve in the meantime was evolving on a higher plane. In fact, she reached an evolutionary point where she was able, all on her own, to carry on both sides of the conversation, seemingly satisfied with an occasional nod or shake of the paper from Adam.
So, some day I expect we will all thank God for getting the ball rolling but, realize that Darwin deserves a big shout out for saving many a modern marriage.
