Common Sense Commentary: All the great truths of the universe are full of mystery.
If believing in a Creator is difficult for your mind to grasp, swallowing the theory of evolution is more like swallowing a monkey whole in one gulp. If all animals have some similar internal and external parts, it clearly reflects a single, common architect better than billions of jerks, jumps, and morph changes of evolution all boiling and bubbling through millions of years from zero, nothing, up to a Billy Graham or Albert Einstein. And if Creation is a mystery to you, at least it is a single step mystery from Eden's dust to Adam and the rest is history. Whereas, evolution is so indefinite, complex and impossible as to fit the description of Winston Churchill's summation of Communist Russia in 1939 when he said, "It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. If evolution were true it is so impossible that it would still require a Creator God to bring it off.
A "mystery" is a truth difficult to understand. The word mystery infers an unusual reality which requires objective study of all the related facts and possibilities.
Mysteries are common in the Christian faith. Even with Almighty God speaking the worlds into existence is a huge mystery. The Old Testament is full of mystery. The virgin birth of Christ is a mystery. His miracles are a mystery. Holy Communion is a mystery. Christ's resurrection is is mystery. His salvation of wicked sinners by grace through faith in Him is a huge mystery .... "And he (Jesus) said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God...." Mark 4:11.
"And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ." Eph.3:9.
Even evolutionists don't claim there were more than one thin line of humans being evolved through billions of changes over millions of years, from original specs of life up to apes and then humans. They agree on a single, original beginning with the "Bib Bang" and then with human evolution. But if that happened only once, why not many times, millions of times. Why aren't there several totally different "kinds" of people with four legs or wings, scales, aqualungs or telescopic sight? All human beings are human beings, with the same parts. Why can't monkeys talk or invent something besides a twig to pull termites out of holes?
If evolution were true, how did this developing line of evolving apes, while changing ever so slowly, up through thousands of generations manage to survive disease, natural disasters, and avoid being eaten in a hungry Jurassic world? Especially considering the fact that the first millions of years of the evolutionary ladder would have been extremely narrow and near the bottom of the food chain.
