Let me first start with some humor and an incredible piece of Nature...
Please watch the video, then read the Article. Thank you!
This is how God Mocks Evolution:


Here, we will attempt to look at the "theories" of Evolution vs. Intelligent Design. We will be as unbiased as possible so that you can decide what you believe.

This may get confusing at times, so try to stay with us here...

ABSOLUTE STATEMENTS:
The first thing we must look at is the Evolutionist (Aestheticism) statement of "There is no God." This is an absolute statement. To make such an absolute statement, one must know everything absolutely, or know everything absolutely about the subject of God or a higher power. If you can state beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is not a God, you must be willing to show proof of your claim. Some would say the proof is simple: Since one cannot prove beyond any doubt that there IS a God, this proves that the opposite is true, and there is no God. Along these same lines, if one can say "I am not sure if there is a God." then the same is true that you cannot say that there is not a God, because you don't know.

It is impossible for any human to know everything absolutely.I can tell you this, there is an absolute number of grains of sand on the planet Earth. This number may change as pieces of sand break apart, so the number may be ever changing, but the number does exist. I can also say that we every creature on the planet that has hair, has a absolute number of hairs. Now, does anyone on the planet know what these numbers are? NO! We really can't even venture to guess, because in order to know how many hairs are on each creatures head, one would have to know each hair intimately, as well as know when hairs shed, how much was shed, if the creature got a hair cut or was shaved, when, and how much was lost. You get the point. As for the sand: you would have to know when grains broke and how many pieces it broke into. In fact if you know these things, you probably do know everything.

Now it becomes a question of faith. What is faith? Faith is believing in something even if you cannot prove it is true, or even if you can prove it, you don't because you trust that it is true. Example: When you get into your car do you check every moving part to make sure it all works well and was put together correctly or do you trust that the manufacturer followed laws and quality rules and that it is ok to put your life in these strangers hands. When you mail a letter, do you personally hand deliver it to the recipient, or do you trust that the postal service will do their job with your personal and confidential information and deliver it only to the person it was intended for. The point is that everyone has faith.

PROOF OF THE SUPERNATURAL?


In order to disprove Intelligent design we must first prove that things can be created on their own. One must ask themselves these questions: What building, in all of history, had no builder, and built itself? What paintings have no painters? What Video Games have no Designers?

Everything ever created has a creator. Still not enough proof? Let's look at God's corner stone: THE BIBLE. First off, many will argue that there are many translations of the Bible. So what? They all say the same thing. Others will say that the Bible is full of falsities and incorrect statements. As a man who has been reading the Bible, but is open minded I admit, I have not read the whole thing as the time this page was created, so I offer you this, show me a mistake in the Bible. Any one, I am not picky....

...Okay, so moving on... (Feel free to email me if you find one, I'd love to see it.)

Another argument is that the bible is written by man, therefore influenced by the same man. Believers and followers of the Bible say that, as stated in the same book, it is inspired divinely by God. The Atheist or Creationist will say prove it. Fair enough. In order to prove that the Bible is divinely inspired we must first find something in it that the writers could not possibly have known without the aid of a higher power or some supernatural force...
Please see what I have found below...
It is a look at what the Bible has always said (And where it says it), what science now holds to be true, and what science believed to be true at the time the Bible was written.

What The BIBLE says:
Please see the bottom of this page for the full Bible entry.

Final Thoughts...



Either the people who wrote the Bible did so as inspired by God, or they were psychic, either way we are dealing with supernatural forces.



So, if you buy a supernatural force inspired the Bible, how do we know it was not some evil force? First off, the Bible states that there clearly is good and evil, and that evil is to be avoided, so why would an author say you should avoid him and go to his enemy? Secondly, if you admit that there is evil, then you must admit good. Also, if there is evil, then there must a source to this evil, weather it is the Devil or man's evil intentions, there is a source. This means there is also a source of good, which is either the human nature of man, or God. The Bible says that God is inside us, so either way, the Source of good is God. So there you have it, There IS a God.



One last point, if all of the creatures evolved, show me one transitional being, that is a man-fish or monkey man.

Since originally writing this, it has been offered to me that pictures of fossils of long extinct creatures are transitional beings. One such picture was of a bird that had several qualities of a reptile, such as teeth in it's beak, claws on the wings, and a long reptilian tail. This is how I feel about that. These are extinct creatures, nothing more, nothing less. If they were evolutionary creatures, what did they evolve to or from? What specific creature, alive today, did this creature become? Scientists recently found a cave with several hundreds of LIVING species of creatures that we have never seen the likes of before. One such creature is pictured below. It is a part spider, part scorpion. Does this constitute a living transitional being? Another is the rare Albino Rat Fish, also pictured below. These prove only that there are species alive that we have yet to discover. Again I say, nothing more, nothing less. I still have yet to see a skeleton with human properties as well as fish or bird properties...

Thanks for your time and I'd love to hear your comments below.

This creature was found in a cave here in the United States. Is THIS a transitional being?

Part RAT part Fish? Is this the elusive Transitional Being?

This MUST be evolution in progress, right?

I stand corrected: "Blinky" The two headed calf, HERE is our Transitonal being.
