Blog Highlights Pray for AiG Q: What does it mean to be human? A: What does it take to be human? The ability to walk upright? Small teeth and long legs? A big brain? The ability to use a stone tool, or must one plan, design, and create tools for future needs? Is it the ability to think great thoughts—to contemplate the past, the future, and the meaning of life? Evolutionary anthropologists have now decided that, all things considered, every little step counts. Evolutionists reconstruct our history as a temporal paleojigsaw of evolutionary innovations. They have no biological mechanism by which all these disparate improvements supposedly come together to produce an evolved human that is better than the sum of his parts. The Bible instead provides us with our Creator's eyewitness account, a history consistent with observable science—living things reproducing and varying only within their created kinds for instance. From the Bible we know that the Creator of man made Adam from the dust of the ground, breathed into him the breath of life, created Eve from a part of Adam's own body, and declared that He had made Adam and Eve in His own image. He did all this on the same day He created all kinds of land animals. Those who claim God "used evolution," incidentally, are calling God a liar. God's Word leaves no room for an evolutionary origin. Read the whole article to look at how adaptible God's creation is and how it all leads back to His Word.
