Finger Paints

As the debate over evolution and “intelligent design” continues, it occurred to me just how simple this is. Primary colors such as blue and yellow can be mixed together to get green. Blue and red can make purple and so on. Now give a classroom full of two year olds finger paints of red, yellow and blue and twenty minute later you’ll end up with several varying shades of brown. The next day bring in another class of toddles and only let them use the colors produced on the previous day. How many days would it take before the color becomes irrelevant? This is evolution. Except in our example we were kind enough to grant them three primary colors to begin with. Colors that would have had to come from somewhere. Our toddlers although immature, do have some level of artistic intelligents. This very generous test of evolution cannot begin to compare with a visit to the paint isle at any home improvement store. There are literally thousands of color choices. You can grab hands full cards of different shades of just blue or just pink or sunset mocha delight if you would like. This is what we will call intelligent design. The earth and all of mankind is far more complex than a bucket of paint, so lets give credit to an almighty God that cared enough to create this world and than save us from our own destruction.
