Evolution

Inspired by “Water’s Edge”

In the beginning there was nothing, but yet there must have been something to orchestrate such a magnificent array of impedimenta. Before the first creature to walk the earth, before the first creature to swim the seas, there was a driving force that orchestrated the chain of events that took place.

As much as many would like to believe, coincidence is to simplistic of an answer, and saying that coincidence was the impetus for the spatially great world that has come to be is not only vague and ambiguous, but it leaves too much up to chance. Perhaps one would like to believe that eons ago there was a guide such an elaborate creation as the current world we live in. As we, similar to many scientists, attempt to engross the image of the creation of the universe, many may wonder, how did such an elaborate system come to be be accident.

We can not help but try to understand the universe that we live in. Humans, by human nature, wish to answer all questions that plague their minds. Everyone requires justification. Whether accepted or not, there is a very plausible explanation besides the common Big Bang method. The method is some sort of guiding hand, some may say a deity, a divine being, or some other existing force that has driven the world to become what it has.

But our scientifically centered, be it a biology teacher at a high school, a undergraduate biologist, or a general scientist of any field, often beg to differ.

With their need for empirical data, an unimaginable force of nature that helped shaped the world into its present form is simply a ludicrous idea. Perhaps they are on the right track, but then how can the perfection of the true complexity of the entire world we live in be explained. There then is the idea that things do not exist without explanation. There then is no such thing as the great Bloop noise in the ocean, recorded on two separate microphones, three thousand miles apart. Yet there is a recording of this great anomaly.

From the moment of conception, we face a specific destiny that follows such an immense history of build up to create such a sophisticated system as the human. Humans, and animals a like, all follow the same pre-creation fate, developing from a land devoid of life, into multicellular, complex creatures.

There are many stories that tell of creator gods, divine interveners, or spectacular beginnings of the universe. and it bring one to wonder, maybe science offers explanation to many things, but are there things that surpass the ability of explanation?
