variations of a concept

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
I do not remember exactly how the song goes that is used as titles for the James Harriot Vet books, but that is where all the creatures came from.

Can I Prooooove it? No.
There is never going to be anyone go back there to check it out.
There is never going to be someone stick around long enough to see if anything that man creates today turns out to be “alive”, or if new things will crop up that will be ever so much “better” and “new” and “improved” to what we have now. The only proof that we have for the origin of things is right here and right now.

So what do we have to work with?

If God is the one who created everything and He is still around we could ask Him.

If there never was such a “person” as God then we are pretty much on our own. Still and all it is even at that a big stretch of the most vivid of imaginations to conceive of 36million year old fossils still hanging around. DNA still good after 30 or 40 thousand years. Especially when lots of them still are not rock and lots of them still have a lingering smell. Not to mention all the ones that look modern – are modern. Can science prove that anything happened last week? So they can prove that certain things could have happened, because they do happen today and tomorrow.

BUT did a monkey turn into a scientist ?

Apart from variations of a concept of god I am not aware of any other possibility for the existence of all the creatures. Someone made them or all this just popped into “existence”.
