Divine Evolution

Divine Evolution
By Frederick Turner

Go read an excellent ariticle on evolution. It seems his basic argument had been mine. That one can certainly believe in evolution and see the handiwork of God in it.

"I am the true vine," said Jesus, "and you are the branches." The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that grows and branches into a tree; it's like a sower whose seeds have differential rates of reproduction; it's like the yeast that leavens the whole lump. These images are entirely consistent with the theory of evolution."

There has never been a part of evolution that has made me doubt God. Not one time. It may be different for some, but for me, it helps explain his grand plan. It helps explain his great wonders.

We are only scratching at the surface though. God has much more for us to discover and reveal.

So much more.
