Once upon a time, and “for billions of years, single-celled creatures had the planet to themselves, floating through the oceans in solitary bliss. Some microorganisms attempted multicellular arrangements, forming small sheets or filaments of cells. But these ventures hit dead ends. The single cell ruled the earth.”
(cue the record scratch sound effect!) The single cell ruled the earth?!
Are you kidding me?! I wish they were kidding me. Because that evolution fairy tale sounds so juvenile I’d find it difficult to believe even juveniles would fall for it. But juvies didn’t write the article. Full-growed-up-adults wrote it. Well, that is to say, growed-up adults whose minds were so open their brains fell out.
Ten years ago, in March 2014, I wrote about single cell life. And I asked the question, “Did you know there is no known two-celled life?” Today I noticed that a few months later, in 2014, someone wrote that single cell article. Coincidence?
Anyway, I mentioned that “it’s no big deal.” Because “we’re just talking about tiny, little, microscopic particles of life.” Of course, that was sarcasm. And I said these things matter because people stake their eternal soul on things like this. I certainly have. So has everyone else, whether they know it or not.
Here’s the thing. In order for macroevolution to be a valid theory for how we got here, there should be a whole lot of transitional forms of life with 2-20 cells. You should see them everywhere. And that would help close the huge gap between single-celled and multi-celled organisms.
But that’s not the case.
In reality (a place fewer and fewer people prefer to be these days), the only known forms of life with 6-20 cells are parasites. How ironically appropriate. And, by the way, those simple multi-celled parasites need a much more complex host animal for even the basic functions of life. Basic as in breathing and digestion.
So, do you get the dilemma? Those parasites couldn’t evolve into something greater than themselves. They need something greater than themselves to even exist in the first place. A bit of a ta-ta-ta tautology, you might say.
No single cell life EVER ruled the earth. And none EVER will. And it’s only one of the many tiny (and huge) reasons why evolution just doesn’t work as a theory for the origin of life.
Elgielene and I didn’t have kids. But if we would’ve had them, we would never tell them they came from goo. We would have shared much more sensible, loving, and nurturing information about their origin. And we probably would have started them out on something like my book, “The Very First 6 Days.”
Of course, that’s a blatant plug for my book. But that doesn’t mean your kids should be deprived of such a wonderful resource to help them know how they got here.
If you have young kids, or know someone who does, do them a favor and get them this book. Which, as it just so happens, was also written back in 2014.
Here’s a snippet from the book:
Before there were created things, and darkness filled the air…
No world or human beings were existing anywhere.
Then God created earth and sea and all the heavens too.
There was no sun, no moon, no stars, and only God shone through.
He looked down at the waters and the dark face of the deep.
The earth was still and quiet just as we are when we sleep.
He said, “Let there be light” the way a perfect, true God could,
And then He saw the brand new light and knew that it was good.
Then God divided light and dark, and darkness He called Night.
The light would be called Day, and it was pleasing in His sight.
That evening and that morning wouldn’t be the total sum…
No, that was just the very first day…five were yet to come.
Stay tuned,
