Forgive me if this has been posted already...but from what I've seen there is clearly a need for the truth here!
If you read Genesis 1:26-28, you will find that man was created in the image of God himself (in fact...v. 26 in the New King James versions states "..."Let Us make man in Our image,...""; and this fact is even stated 3 times in v. 27. I don't see anything about God creating an ape and saying it wasn't good enough and revising it in steps. God made man *and* woman on the sixth day and it pleased Him.
As for the "flaws" you point out above: Yes, it would seem that our design is pretty poor. However, God designed us in that way for a reason. Think about it...is there a wrong way to do something if it has never been done before? Who are we to question a Holy and loving God?
Here's another point: God provides for us what we need to survive. He made animals to hunt for their food, so He gave them the eyesight, agility, strong immunity, etc. to survive. Mankind, on the other hand, was given the mind and ability to do more. If we need to hunt, we can make a 12 ga. shotgun and take down a critter from 30 yards away. Then we can take that sucker and fry it up.
As for the cancer...I believe God did that purposely to keep us humble. The Lord gives us life and He can sure enough take it away when He's ready. Those of us who get too big for our 'britches' need a reminder once in a while.
I firmly believe that evolution is mankind's way of ducking the whole accountability issue where God is concerned. Think about it: if God didn't create us (like mr. darwin would have us believe), then what reason would we have to follow His rules set forth in the Bible? What reason then would we have to worship a Holy God? What reason would we have to believe that Jesus Christ came to earth in the flesh and died for mankind's benefit? Evolution blatantly blasphemes God and His inerrant word. Evolution puts Jesus and Father God aside and leaves mankind wide open to worship how he sees fit. Evolution is simply another way for satan to pull us away from God.
I'll be praying for you all to see the light on this topic. God Bless You All!
