Evolution
How did we become what we are – if it’s all down to evolution, why is it that we’re the only creatures on the planet to have evolved as we have.
What other animals:
- communicate with such rich variety as humans do;
- have the mental capacity to create such complex and varied organisations as governments and businesses the size of Microsoft;
- can care for it’s fellow creatures with such sophistication through advanced medicine and more recently, breakthroughs in genetic engineering;
- have demonstrated such artistic abilities, such as art, poetry, etc.;
- cultivates the land or cattle with such sophistication;
Why is it that if our development is purely down to evolution that no other animal on the planet has evolved in a similar way or at the same pace. No other animal even comes close.
The Bible tells us we were made in God's image, but we know that it's not just the physical attributes that we possess that we should consider in this concept.
Scientists acknowledge the "missing link" when tracing our ancestry from ape to man. This is surely more than just a "link", as if one small piece of the jigsaw is missing. What was the spark that differentiated us in such a way as the fellow inhabitants of this planet?
There is a huge chasm between our development and those of other animals. Unless it's God's work, what other argument could stand up to serious scrutiny to explain the massive leap we have taken intellectually?
