Defence of Intelligent Design

A PRAYER OF ONE
A PoemSwinging through the trees,
eating bananas on a branch,
Along comes a leopard,
taking the ape to its death.For a fleeting second, intellect strikes...
a creative thought enters ape's brain,
"why? why, must I die?
I want to survive!We are far too good...
the smartest of all beasts!
this fate that my kind suffer,
is unfair, injust... to say the least!Why must we apes be left unsheltered
from hungry, carnivorous beasts,
Why must I have been on a limb,
exposed as vulnerable prey?As Leopard tore into ape's jugular,
darkness overtook the ape.
Silence... and satisfaction for the predator,
That is nature's way.God heard the prayer of the innocent ape,
God considered her desperate plea,
God thought and pondered ~
if ape could build houses,
if ape could cultivate farms,
if ape could fend off predators...
MAYBE I can answer this humble prayer of one.Ape evolves into man.Page not found – Creation-VS-Evolutionwritten by Sharon Mooney

"The source of Genesis precedes the discoveries of evolution and Genesis proves God operates under the appearance of chance, fluke, accident. However, neither source, (supreme or primary) are overwhelming enough as to negate the need for faith, which is the one thing God wants, which is the one thing He cannot create."Doesn't history show us, it is better, for men to have more faith in themselves?When man has searched for God, they climaxed in 'faith' only by performing human sacrifices and other acts vainly committed out of superstition... even the religions are evolving -- doctrines and creeds always in transition -- can anyone show me where God's blessings, are the one and only cause for our modern prosperity?
One proof.Men believed in God and Christ during the Dark Ages... during the Inquisition... during the Thirty Years War... and man did not prosper.When man finally turned to searching for science and fact, man has prospered. Modern Prosperity is due to our founding fathers who were in support of a Secular Government... a Separation of Church and State.. never again another State Religion.Since that time, man has increased in wealth, health and happiness. Education for all, people are living longer lives... and faith is statistically dwindling.Maybe this is what God would want.

what man can do for himself.'
