But the evolutionary theories leave so many question marks.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there are things the human mind cannot comprehend, and I mentioned this in my article about space and time; but some scientists and scholars use the little knowledge that God has gifted them with to put themselves above and beyond God. They claim to know it all.<\/p>\n<p>These smart guys think they know how life came about, how it developed and evolved to the present state, even though, according to their theories, they were born billions of years after the start of it all.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve all heard the age-old debate: which came first, the chicken or the egg? This baffling question builds a case for creation. If life evolved from the water, as evolutionists claim, which evolved\u00a0first&#8230;the chicken or the egg? We know that it is scientifically impossible for an egg to form outside of the womb of the fowl. And we know it is scientifically<br \/>\nimpossible for a chicken to be born without being hatched from an egg.<\/p>\n<p>So which came about first during the process of evolution? Neither.<\/p>\n<p>They both had to be created at the same time. God created the &#8220;birds of the air&#8221; as the bible tells us. He designed the reproductive system within the fowls to be by means of the egg.<\/p>\n<p>The scenario of the chicken and the egg severely undermines, if not completely debunks, the theories of evolution. And I don&#8217;t think I would be too far off the mark if I reasoned that the Creator designed this and left it as sign of His presence.<\/p>\n<p>Related: <a href=\"http:\/\/patrickcarpen.com\/the-bible\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Bible by Patrick Carpen<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Related: <a href=\"http:\/\/patrickcarpen.com\/spirituality\/\" target=\"_blank\">Spirituality by Patrick Carpen<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Related: <a href=\"http:\/\/patrickcarpen.com\/religion\/\" target=\"_blank\">Religion by Patrick Carpen<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was first created on the 18th of June, 2015 and last updated on the 26th of April, 2016 by Patrick Carpen.
