Nut on the loose

The proclamation of "evolution" is so widespread that often the user of the word does so without realizing its meaning, even to the point of contradiction.

In the Dec. 13 Augusta Chronicle, an article appeared about scientists having figured out "why pregnant women don't lose their balance and topple over despite ever-growing weight up front."

It continues with: "Evolution provided them with slight differences from men in their lower backs and hip joints, allowing them to adjust their center of gravity, the new research shows." Notice the author attributes this to evolution; but the headline of the article is "Women's backs designed to carry babies." Here the words "evolution" and "design" are in the same piece of writing. How can this be? Evolutionists do not believe in a designer, but that our entire universe happened by chance.

The next paragraph reads: "This elegant engineering is seen in female humans and our immediate ancestors who walked on two feet, but not in chimps and apes, according to a study published in today's edition of the journal Nature."

I would say that this "elegant engineering" was the creation of our loving, heavenly Father. After all, that wedged-shaped vertebra could not happen by accident or chance! To believe otherwise would be foolish.
