What am I saying?

I'll start with a prayer. Lord, please give the words to speak and help me to remember why I started typing in the first place. Amen.

I wanted to discuss the idea of creation. I want to discuss how one possible explanation to life, the universe, and everything is Intelligent Design. Many scientists believe that the more man finds out about how the universe was created, the more we see that God does not and can not exist. Isn't there more to us than matter and energy? Doesn't the simple explanation of "the universe started to create itself through a very slow process of dirt getting stuck together and then getting stuck to more dirt to create a planet eventually" not explain what started the dirt to stick together in the first place?

How about the creation of man? According to Darwinism, we evolved from the ape. Where did the ape come from? The "primordial ooze" that created life on earth by evolving and replicating, does not explain to me how it decided that one day it was going to become an ape. I have seen animals produce the same animals as man produces man, but I have never seen man produce animals. I understand the thought of cross-breeding. Dogs can only breed with other dogs, and cats breed with other cats, but I have never seen a dog mate with a cat and produce offspring. So how did the ooze break off from itself and change into an ape? Bacteria can only produce bacteria. How can you tell me there is no God, when you can't tell me how the ooze decided it was going to become an ape? Wouldn't the ooze need intelligence to decide that? Who or what gave the ooze that intelligence?

It is obvious that nothing simply has intelligence to make a decision right from the start. The ability to make decisions is learned. There are instincts, but even those are learned. For example, the instinct of hunting. What taught us that we need to kill for our food? The instinct to hunt comes from our body saying it is hungry, but you cant tell me that we instantly knew how to catch and kill prey. We learned over time through the intelligence given to us by our Creator to make traps, and form sharp sticks to kill our prey so that we may eat. Who or what gave humans the intelligence to adapt? Stick a newborn baby into a forest and it will die. It lacks the ability and intelligence to help itself. However, if you stick a matured human who was given the intelligence to adapt, yet has absolutely no survival training into the forest, he will somehow find a way to gather food, build a shelter, and survive in the new habitat. The intelligence to adapt was given to us by God. He taught us how to hunt and provide for our needs.

So again I ask, what made the ooze decide that it could become an ape? It didn't. We don't come from ooze or apes. Every creature on this earth was made with an intelligent design behind it. Everything was created by God with a certain image in mind. Humans just got lucky enough to be given the image of God. I strongly believe that God created man by simply taking dirt into his hands, molding it into a human and breathing life into it. If you look at what we're made of, like carbon, you will find everything of our composition in the dirt. God designed our body to do everything it does today with a purpose. As scientists can explain the how we are made, no one but God can explain the why. Science does not get rid of God, science only proves further that God exists.
