Own Kind

More pondering about greys and black and whites has directed my thinking towards considering who might else be black and white, concrete thinkers, which in turn, lead me to ponder upon those individuals who are dedicated to the concept of having the great apes as great grandfathers many generations removed. As completely opposed and in disagreement with this people, I do however, admire their solid convictions. They are absolutionists ( I know that is not a word) But it does best describe them as well as myself. I live in the absolutes. Now as I peer into my own beliefs as opposed to those I aforementioned, I do have to establish the fact that each of us has approached the answers to life and it's beginnings from two different starting points. It is my understanding, of course I could be misinformed, ( unlikely) the evolutionists have started from the base camp of humanity. I have started from the base camp of God's word. Oh I know, I have already polarized the situation, and even the greys might say that both starting points might be right and compatible with each other. This is just the kind of thinking I am not capable of. Starting from the base camp that I do, I have to state each living specimen has given birth to it's own kind. I use as the truth for this cause the following scripture:

Gen 1:24-26
24 And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." NIV

The argument that some kind changed at some point just does not agree with this, the first recorded history of mankind's beginning. Rather then trust what was recorded as dictated by the creator, these people must insist they can tell more from dead remains of it's own kind.

Now this could be the longest of blogs which I will spare you from having to endure. I only wish you to ponder this too. I invite your comments.
