Evolution or Intelligent design.

In my on going effort to keep up to date on the world in general, and obscure philosophies in specific, I have used the current and most nouveau
phrase, "intelligent design". Between ourselves, dear reader, I prefer "creationism". This idea of the Supreme Creator and Judge, sitting there, being "intelligent" gives me the quivers.

I've always been in awe at the diversity and proliferation of living things.
In the coldest reaches of the frozen arctic, we encounter seals, penguins, polar bears.
In the Amazon heat, all manner of Insects, snakes,and mammals.
Deep in the oceans, fish and living things beyond comprehension.
In the air, birds!
Underground, we find moles, worms, bats in caves...

Bats are awfully unique. As we know, They fly by sonar, emitting sounds which bounce back, guiding them on their way.

All these creatures, we are told, evolved over millions of years, the common link, microscopic strands of DNA.

Most species have eyes. How do we account for eyes? Eyes only can serve a species in the presence of light, and a transparent medium, air or water.
How do the simple strands of DNA know about light? Is it some universal absolute? Yes, I think so. And if it is, then what is the likelihood of a fully transparent medium?

Millions of years ago, mindless DNA experimented with various ways for living things to evaluate surroundings, and survive. Eyes had to be rather complex, even in the earliest stages. Eyes had to evolve in the shallow water of the ocean, in the presence of light.

Fast forward countless generations.
A sighted fish climbs onto the shore. He has the ability to utilize oxygen from water, or air.
This fish we then theorize, by the virtue of "survival of the fittest", evolved into all living things, sighted, or not.

I haven't even mentioned hearing.

It's all so unlikely! I'm bewildered.

Maybe a Supreme Being - Intelligent Design - was lonely. He must be very well organized.

I hope you've enjoyed this encore blog. I welcome your comments! BigBadJohnny
