Imagine if you have never seen a Gold Watch or “time piece” in any manner. Imagine me showing you my brand new Gold Watch. You, if you are like me, want to know more. How does it work? Who made it? How much does it cost? Where can I get one?
I will tell you two stories about the watch. You tell me which one you believe.
Story C (Creation)
Hans is this guy in Europe who makes time pieces. They are called clocks. Like pulling back a bow to shot an arrow, this metal bow slowly release over time and can tell you the hour of the day. Day after day Hans labored over the clock design to resize every gear and calculated every small weight. Meticulous care went into the manufacture of each piece. Tiny gears were microscopically measured, formed, and polished for precision. The balance wheel was carefully calibrated to ensure maximum accuracy. The spring, casing, face, etc. were all delicately placed, polished and lovingly attached. Then Hans, holding his masterpiece wound this integrate minute machine and it worked. Now all I have to do is keep it wound.
Story E (Evolution)
Billions of years ago, when the earth manufactured rocks and life, bits of gold, silica, metal, and black particles came together. Millions of years went by and the inevitable happened. Bits of material joined together by heat, pressure, wind, and rain. Amazingly and as years passed, molecules bonded in the exact way needed to create intricate gears and balance wheels. As the parts tumbled over time in the churning environment, delicate and precision polishing occurred in the exact way to produce a perfectly calibrated timepiece that you see. Molecules of black paint coincidently landed on the surface of the watch face that was randomly covered with pure white paint. As years passed, eventually gears, wheels, hands, a face, a crystal, and a beautifully engraved case came together to form this exquisite gold watch. It was perfect in every way except it needed me to wind it.
Now after reading these two stories, which one of these amazing stories are most plausible?
I would propose to you that if you went back in time 1,000-years and presented these two stories, no one would believe Story E. The fact is that it is not reasonable.
Is Evolution A Theory? For some people, but not me. It is not reasonable.
