EVOLUTION
(And various other
Interesting subjects)

Please forgive the format of this small work. It is one of the first commentaries I wrote and it was written on an archaic computer… an original IBM pc. No hard drive, etc. Therefore when I attempted to convert it to modern day technology, it was to no avail. But the Lord overcame the obstacles I was facing and allowed me to somehow paste this fledgling piece into a Word document. Nevertheless, this is the portion of this volume that is a “little philosophy” if you will.

As the Lord leads, I follow. Thus, this new study, which may be one of the most challenging works that I have undertaken. I am not a great theologian, nor a scientist, but I have dabbled a bit in both fields.

There is such a tremendous gap in the reasoning of peoples as to how we, as human beings, came to be upon this earthen ball that we call the planet Earth, that I feel compelled to offer my opinion on the subject, also, for whatever value it may have.

There are, however, those questions that we may never have answers to, that we can comprehend. Until, that is, we meet face-to-face with our Creator, and ask Him. This may well be the purposeful will of God. I believe that there was a time in the existence of mankind when we, as a race of upright-walking, reasoning, warm-blooded mammals, could use far more of our intellectual capabilities than we are, currently. Adam spoke with God. They carried on meaningful conversations. Adam was so intelligent that he was able to name all of the species of life upon the planet that he inhabited. (I doubt sincerely that the East African Homo Habilis was capable of such a feat, allowing much levity in the possibility of this creature even being human, although he is touted as
