The Jehovah Witness folks dropped by today. Suffice to say, those people just don't get sarcasm. They were kind enough to leave me with some reading material, some of which I thought I'd share. Here goes:
Where Did We Come From?
Why does the answer matter? Many people are taught that life on earth emerged by accident. They are told that through a series of unlikely, random events, evolution produced the human race with all its emotional, intellectual, and spiritual capacities.
But consider: If we really are the product of evolution and there is no Creator, the human race would, in a sense, be an orphan. Mankind would have no source of superior wisdom to consult-no one to help us solve our problems. We would have to rely on human wisdom to avert environmental disaster, to solve political conflicts, and to guide us through our personal crises.
Do these prospects bring you peace of mind? If not, contemplate the alternative. Not only is it more appealing but it also makes more sense.
OK. Let's review, shall we? As far as I can tell, they don't want to believe in evolution because that would make them "...in a sense...an orphan." That's it? That's their argument? Sign me up! But they continue by saying that if there is no "Creator" then we would have no source of superior wisdom to consult. Help me out here people, when was the last time your creator laid any superior wisdom on you? All of my superior wisdom comes from that there book learning. Further, there is no creator who is somehow averting environmental disaster, solving political conflicts, guiding us through our personal crises. Nothing could be further from the truth. When it comes to these things, we're on our own, believers and scientists alike. Honest to God (no pun intended), what are these people talking about? And as far as contemplating the alternative, it might be more appealing to you, but don't try to tell me it makes more sense. It makes no sense. None.
All this, and I'm only on page 4 of their "literature." I almost feel bad for these people. Honestly, maybe some of us didn't evolve.
