Genesis 1:11-12  And God said, 'Let' (there's that word again) the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding fruit after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and  God saw that it was good.  And the evening and the morning were the third day.

I've always thought this was such a provocative verse.  The seed that was in itself.  What does that mean?  Perhaps that each tree had fruit with the seed inside the fruit.  Or perhaps the earth brought forth seed that was in itself.  I personally think it was both.  I think some seeds survived those first destructions.  Perhaps in pockets that the waters didn't reach.  I don't know.  What I do know is that many plants--such as gingko trees--survived.  And new plants appeared.

It's probably time to say the word 'evolution'.

We are losing our wisdom teeth.  Some people are still born with four.  Some with two, and some with none.  Most people don't have room in their mouth for wisdom teeth.  We no longer 'gnaw' our food.  But this is 'natural selection'.  We don't really need wisdom teeth anymore.  Things change.  They 'evolve'.  But Darwin's theory of evolution is an entirely different ball of wax.

It used to be that if you had diabetes, you were doomed.  People died before they reproduced.  But then we found cures and treatments.  As  a result, diabetes is no longer rare.  People with a gene for certain types of diabetes now live to pass that gene on.  (Of course we are also 'naturally selecting' to overeat and get diabetes.

Four word combinations:  Natural Selection.  Evolution of a species.  Survival of the fittest.  And Darwin's Theory of  Evolution.  Just exactly what do we know is true?  Well, let's start with the Bible.  I believe it is the inerrant word of God.  Everything else has to fall in place with God's word.

The first three combinations happen.  Darwin's theory didn't.  That is now a known scientific fact.  So science is struggling to explain where we came from.  One current theory is outer space.  Anything to avoid saying that there is a Creator.  That there is a God.
