The Evolution of..  EVOLUTION 2020

 
Picture

While I do not believe in any monkey ancestry kind of evolution I do believe life certainly evolves.  Rest assured Ancestry.Com will not find any chimps, gorillas, or Orangutans in your family roots. 

Let me share 'my' scientific findings from my exhaustive study here at  the Back Pew Institute for Common Sense.

Don't roll your eyes at me.. this is SCIENCE!


Picture
Exhibit A (Valentines Day)
THEN: On February 14, 1984 I bought my wife an engagement ring, flowers and proposed marriage.  Good news for me Mary was very excited about spending the rest of her life with ME!  Til death do us part.. thank you  very much.
NOW: On February 13th 2016 my wife informed me she was going to pick up some flowers for my 86 year old mom for Valentines Day.  I replied "Great, and while you're at it, pick up something nice for yourself from me.. cuz I like ya."


Picture
Exhibit B (Romance)
THEN: Mary and I were married in August 1984.  The newlywed excitement of starting our lives together, holding hands, the excitement of the kiss, and all the other 'fringe benefits' of being married were truly wonderful.
​
NOW: Just the few years ago I remember trying to kiss my wife Mary on the lips before I headed out the door to work.  But she turned her head at the last moment offering me only to her cheek to kiss.  So I said to my bride "I noticed you turned away", and she replied matter of factly.. "yes I did not want you to wreck my lips."  Wreck her lips?  I was her husband wanting a simple kiss, not a zombie wanting to eat her lips.

Picture
​
​Exhibit C 
(Sports)

THEN: March Madness Year 1 was a simple game where dunking was not possible as the hunched over Neanderthal players had little to no vertical jump compounded by using a ball which technically was a medium sized boulder.
NOW: The game now is fast, the players tall and athletic, the action is high flying, and the courts are free of dinosaur droppings.

Picture

Exhibit D (Me)

THEN: When I was a kid I could spend hours drawing cartoons.

​NOW: Hmmm, never mind that is still what I like to do.

Picture
Exhibits E-Z (God)​
THEN & NOW: Outside of all the above 'scientific' examples of evolution and in the spiritual realm let's be clear.. our God does not evolve nor does He  need  to.  God is  timeless, and  so are his truths.  

Our growingly secular society has chosen to travel down a progressive road of self-enlightenment at 90mph in a Woodstock like hippy van mind set while smoking doobies.  While believing they are evolving, and in fact some believe God is evolving/learning. 

Ironically this 'progressive' world judges fundemental Christians as judgmental, and God's timeless loving truths (The  Bible) as outdated needing their tweaking.. BUT in reality truth is ONLY found in our 'never-needing-to-evolve God'. His perfect love and grace are our hope, and He is the solid rock we can count on. 

Please share this often with this ever changing/evolving tumultuous doubting world. Our God never changes. He is the creator of all things, and the ONLY savior of our souls. IT MATTERS ETERNALLY what we choose to believe, and who we choose to follow.

My prayer is for a return to our Christian roots.  It is ok to have questions, in fact it is just being honest, BUT don't let your questions become your statements of deconstructing your faith in God.

 
Blessings

It was really GOOD!

 
Picture
Genesis 1 - In the beginning, God spoke the universe into existence.  Some of those present claimed they heard a loud crackling sound like thunder, but most simply described it as sort of a.. BANG.. actually a BIG BANG! 

At this point let me be clear, I am not here to discuss Old Earth v New Earth theories. This would be above the pay grade of this cartoonist, but what I will say is .. God created and it was GOOD!

Genesis 1:1-31 To summarize, this daunting project was completed in 6 days where Day 1:  DAY , NIGHT , the SKY were spoke into existence by our Almighty Creator. 

Genesis 2:1-3 Then on the 7th day God rested.  In contrast I installed a bathroom floor in our town-home recently and I rested on the 5th, 6th, and 7th days and while it turned out nice it was not Hubble Telescope spectacular like God's Universe.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture

Those first 6 days His creation included the sun, stars, land, waters, and all the creatures in the sea and on land were created. 

To rule over the lands and seas God created 
MAN​ Genesis 2:7 in His own image from the dust of the Earth followed by creating WOMAN from man's 'spare rib' declaring it is not good for man to be alone. Genesis 2:18
​
To which Adam declared.. "Hey beautiful, where have you been all my life?"   

​Then God commanded Adam and Eve to "be fruitful and multiply".. to which Adam quickly started working on his 
times tables.

This creation story is all recorded into the Bible book of Genesis. While many Cosmologists believe the Big Bang was the creation of EVERYTHING from NOTHING followed by billions of years of random collisions and explosions resulted in our ever expanding universe, all the planets including Earth including life with all it's complexities.  

​Ok, I believe you can collide a chocolate bar with a jar of peanut butter and end up with a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup.. but this Universe has too moving parts + complexities that are bound together with rules and order for me to believe EVERYTHING came from NOTHING.

Picture
So I choose to believe there must be an intelligent design behind creation. For me, I believe in a divine creator that exists outside the confines of time and space. I believe this Intelligent Design is described in the Bible Book of Genesis.

​May God bless each of you greatly in your pursuit of truth. This is important stuff, and a foundation for life. If there is a God then the pursuit of Him is a greater science than can be found looking through any microscope or telescope.  Bigger than Star Trek's five year journey exploring the stars.

Back Pew - Draw Close to God
116 pages of cartoons of 'Clean Humor & God's Truth'

CRITICS ARE SAYING..
  • The Back Pew (vol 1) offers spiritual insights rarely found in 'most' coloring books.
  • On a good day The Back Pew is.. Gary Larson's The Farside goes to church!
  • On a bad day The Back Pew (vol 1) is still useful under the leg of an uneven coffee table.
Laughter is just a CLICK away
-click- HAHAHAHA!
