I once designed a small knife – a slender rod with a tiny razor-sharp blade at the end. One of my students came across the knife and started using it to cut up card.
I stopped him and explained that the knife was designed for something far more important – a life-saving surgical operation on newly born boys who have a blocked bladder valve. If the student had looked closely at its intricate design he would have known it was no ordinary knife.
Many today make the same mistake concerning the purpose of human life. Evolutionists assume that humans are just an advanced ape-like creature with no special design or purpose. According to evolutionary philosophy, the ‘design’ of human beings has evolved to meet survival tasks like fighting, hunting and gathering.
For example, evolutionists say that human hands evolved to make weapons, and human faces evolved to make threatening expressions! They say that the human brain evolved to plan survival strategies.
More than survival
In contrast, the Bible teaches that humans are unique creatures designed for much more than survival. Humans are creative, emotional and spiritual beings, designed to have deep relationships with other people and with the Creator.
