Occam's razor states that "simpler explanations are, other things being equal, generally better than more complex ones" This is what has been the cornerstone of science in creating hypotheses, theories and, finally, explanations for centuries. The majority of scientists (of all types) agree with this statement. And since they believe the simplest explanation is most likely the most accurate, or better, than I have to hypothesize that when it comes to the theory of evolution vice the belief of the Creator creating our world, the universe and all life - the evolutionary theory fails. Why? The study of the theory of evolution is so complex, so varied - in fact, so argued even among the members of the scientific community - that it fails the basic tenet of Occam's Razor.
Are you ready for the greatest, simplest sentence regarding creation, so simple that a child can understand it? So simple a sentence that it fulfills Occam's Razor? Are you ready? --- Here it is, one of the oldest recorded words ever written: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1
Pretty easy, wasn't it? I know, I know - you already knew this verse but I think that sometimes we need to stop and think about God as the Creator and how His claim as Creator of all things directly affects us. In that 1st chapter of Genesis we come to this profound portion of creation - "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness..." Genesis 1:26. Then in verse 27 it says, "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him [man]; male and female He created them."
The origin of the human race is simply (Occam's Razor) and clearly set forth in the divine record and so plainly stated that there is no reason for any erroneous conclusions. God created man in His own image. There is no mystery to it. It doesn't teach that man was evolved by slow degrees of development or mutation from the lower forms of animal life. The teaching of evolution lowers the Creator to the level of man's narrow, earthly conceptions. Men have been so intent upon excluding God from His sovereignty of mankind and the universe that they degrade man and defraud him of the divine dignity of his origins.
You and I are His children. We come from divine lineage. We come from the hand of God - and redeemed by the very same hand. His hands held Adam when he breathed his first breath, and His hands held Adam's offspring's eternal lives with nails sealing the deal.
It is such love as this that should make us fall to our knees and thank Him from the depths of our hearts - thankful that He created us, that He died for us, that He reaches out to us with everlasting love and grace - all that simply because He first loved us ... loved us from "The Beginning..."
