In today’s political environment the subject of creation versus evolution keeps popping up. Both sides are very passionate about what they believe. The thing is, when we evolved we were created. Not by a sentient being perhaps but evolution itself is a form of creation.
Whatever happened out there to bring us into being could be called creation… Then we evolved. If there is a God, let it be called evolution. Evolution does not grant prayers or special favors but neither does evolution condemn. Evolution doesn’t need holy wars or sacrifices. Evolution doesn’t care about your sex life. Evolution just makes sense.
With creation we are told we were created and given free will. However, when we used that free will the creator became very angry with us. The creator then expects to be given a pat on the back for creating us with flaws he doesn’t like that he feels we have to atone for. Nevermind that HE created US! The way I see it,if he did indeed create us, any flaws we possess are his fault.
I don’t believe the universe was created for us. I believe we were created out of the universe. As Carl Sagan would say, “We are star stuff.”
