There is an ongoing argument
between evolutionists and intelligent design supporters. Is
everything the result of blind chemical and biological forces or is
there an intelligence behind it all? It is hard for me to see
intelligent design in the existence of the mosquito. This
blood-sucking pest has a lifespan of only a few weeks (some species
only days) in which it lays eggs, Hatch. Seek out humans and other
mammals for blood to lay more eggs. Causes misery, sometimes death
to its prey. In order to lay more eggs, etc. What kind of
intelligent being would create such a thing, the only purpose for
which is to perpetuate itself ad nauseam so it can inflict death and
suffering and then expire in mere days or weeks. Doesn't resemble
intelligent design to me. But what about evolution, how
"intelligent" is it? Not very. Want an example? Why hasn't evolution
developed a safety mechanism for those cute little squirrels, so
they can recognize the direction of sound and will quit becoming
confused which causes them to run into instead of away from traffic?
How many more millennia and dead squirrels will it take until
evolution stumbles onto this? It seems to me neither intelligent
design nor evolution has done a good job or they're just good at
keeping secrets. Think about it. Or, if you want peace of mind,
don't think about it. |
