Thoughts on evolution and Easter

Dear editor,

In 1976, scientist Harold Hill authored, “From God to You by Way of the Zoo.”

How sad some actually believe they came there from. The controversy, evolution vs. creationism, will continue ’til Kingdom comes.

As Easter approaches, I recall reading about a conversation three (fictional) monkeys had years ago. (Editor’s Note: See “The Monkey’s Disgrace,” author unknown.) One was very upset with those believing humans descended from them. He was quick to say no one in the monkey’s noble race ever deserted his wife, starved her babies; no mother monk ever left her babies with others to bunk, or pass them from one to another ’til they scarcely knew who was their mother!

With the heinous crimes, murders and violence rampant in America, disrespect for police and law enforcement, the monkey adamantly declared nor would a monk go out at night or use a gun, club or knife to take another monkey’s life!

The truth that that monkey emphasized was man descended, the ornery cuss, but, brother, he didn’t descend from us!

He was right on!

Wouldn’t it be great if all believed in God Almighty, Creator, (whom) Christians celebrate at Easter?

Many are floundering, wondering from where they came, what they’re doing here and where they’re going! The Greatest Book ever written — the Holy Bible, never to be superseded, God’s love letter to mankind — answers all these and other questions anyone might have, Hallelujah!

Anyone seeking Him diligently will find Him, Jesus Christ, also looking for them.

Seek Him while He is near. Wise men still do seek Him!

God bless us all as only He can. Maranatha!
