Evolution and Creationism - My Viewpoint

Whenever someone mentions something related to Evolution ; or whether God created all Animals , Humans ;or whether it is all a play of evolutionary Process; I become very much engrossed. It is a topic in which I have a unique interest .


At a personal level,I favour the Theory of Evolution . True , the theory that God created everything does has its valid points . It also has many people supporting it .

Points that make the God's creation Theory (as such this is not the name of the Theory , but I call it like this ) :

1)Evolutionists say that Man evolved from Apes who in turm evolved from some Amphibian creatures ,who in tuirn were evolving from Reptiles or Fish and so on . yet ; who created the most basic Life Form ? It must have been God .

2)Who decided when Big Bang has to happen or why Earth only had to be habitable long enough ? True , Mars also has some signs of Life Supporting conditions , but no Life has been detected as such .

3)Why Man only developed brains big enough to control so much of Earth ? Why Not Chimpanzee, Gorillas etc ?


True , these points and more seem to be valid .

However;now I would write something on Theory of Evolution . Now, what I am going to write is my understanding of Evolutionary Process . There might be a few things I might miss .

Still; I would be able to cover sufficient number of things :

1)Studies have shown a number of similarity between Humans spread across continents , Their genetic make suggests that we all evolved from a common ancestor who descended from Apes.

2)Evolutionary traits develop over Thousands of Years . Our evolution from Ape like creatures to Man involved shedding of some organs ,structural changes in our Arms , Legs , size and shape of brain and muscles . Similar evolutionary patterns have been studied in Horses - who developed from Tiny creatures to the big ones we see today .

3)There had been some Human as well as other Animal species who got eliminated or become extinct as they could not survive factors beyond their control - such as sudden climate changes , massive Floods or Droughts or hostilities from enemies .



4)Studies have also proved that evolution also produces new species which have common traits from their parents as well as individual traits of their own . An example is the Domestic Fowl (or Hen and Rooster) of today's times which evolved from l Red and Grey Jungle Fowl . The Domestic Fowl has characteristics from both its ancestors as well as its own independent characteristics .

To summarize, I do not oppose anyone who is opposed to the Theory of Evolution . However; I believe that the Theory of Evolution has a stronger validity vis-a-vis the theory that God created everything .

And last but not least , May God bless all of us : To Grow , increase our knowledge and gain more and more material and spiritual wealth .

India's exciting one wicket win over Australia in Mohali test

In an exciting finish in the first test match at Mohali, India beat Australia by 1 wicket. India had to make 216 to win, and at 1 stage India were 124 for 8. Then V.V.S.Laxman and Ishant Sharma had a superb partnership of 81 runs and took India to victory. Laxman remained unbeated on 73, and Ishant made 31. The place where I am currently staying does not subscribes to the sports channel showing this match, but I would surely love to watchthe highlights of this match.

What is this street's name ?

This is another of my Chennai experiences. I had this experience on the street where I stayed at a guest house location till 30th September morning. The street on which I lived is called as "Neelkanda Mehta" street. However, on many homes as well as some other places, it is written as "Neelkanda Metha" street. I have asked other people too. However, I have not found a satisfactory answer.
