Static About Static
If all the hoopla about evolution and atheistic science is a source of constant irritation, so is the insistence that living thing must have always been the way we see them today. Has the Creator stopped creating? Will He ever stop creating? Doesn’t every newly divided bacterium constitute a new life?
A designer with the unlimited power to make things happen can certainly do as He pleases with his creations. He can keep a design unchanged as long as he pleases and sees fit, or modify and retool His creatures at any time needed in any way He chooses. What if He decides to do a biospheric “reset” by means of a global catastrophy and flood? In a pinch He could easily reengineer all living things and select only those needed to “replenish” the earth for preservation during the global purge of the worldwide ecosystem.
The ecosystem is totally plastic to an engineer of this sort. Even massive beasts like dinosaurs exist at the complete discretion of such a creator. When they have served their purpose, they can be destroyed or allowed to die out. Enough of this “competition for food sources” or “environmental pressures” naturalistic dribble. The biosphere(all of life on earth) would implode in a microsecond if left to it’s own devices.
This sort of designer could create a healthy living hungry T-Rex in your backyard during your family cookout if should so desire. He could turn off the immune systems of all humans at any moment and we would cease to exist on this planet. The truth is, His grace is shown to us everywhere and in everything we see and experience.
