Evidence God Exists

[Milky Tea]

Without further ado, here’s the evidence: Humans are the only species, out of millions of species, which have evolved into an intelligent life form. Other species live pretty much to eat and sleep -- survival. If our evolution were only a result of natural selection, shouldn’t other species, or even just one, have evolved into intelligent beings after millions of years? But the fact is that no other species have been able to develop science, literature, art, music and intelligent thought process as humans have. Isn’t this evidence that God exists?

Yes it is, and for several reasons. For one thing it corroborates what’s written in the bible, which is that God created man in his image, and that animals are inferior. But to truly understand why my evidence points towards a deity one needs to be able to appreciate the grandness of this gift that is human intelligence. And you have to ask yourself, why are we the only species, out of millions, that have achieved this type of intelligence? Evolution is about natural selection, but shouldn’t at least one other species, out of millions, have benefited from intelligence? I think so. And there would be a myriad of other intelligent species if there were no God. If you can appreciate the grandness and uniqueness of human intelligence, then you’ll understand why only humans were given this gift, and you'll know why what I've outlined here points to a God.

It's important to remember that evolution is not a fundamentally progressive process even if sometimes it appears to be that way, and more importantly evolution cannot work towards a pre-determined goal. It's unlikely that if we were to reset the clock and run evolution that things would turn out the same again, especially given the huge number of events which had to happen just-so in order for the human species in it's current form to evolve. None of this means that God is required to ensure things turned out just-so since depending on ones perspective many possible combinations of events can be considered as being just-so if the outcome is perceived as being favourable. I reasonable understanding of evolution and the role which contingency plays in it is required to fully appreciate this idea.

There is also the fundamental problem that you are judging organsism purely from a human perspective. Humans may be capable of things which other organisms aren't capable of but when judged against other criteria humans are easily found to be woefully lacking. Other organisms are only inferior if you choose to judgement them in a manner which is predisposed to find them as such, and vice versa.

In regard to the Bible it only corroborates your perception of the world which is not entirely unexpected given that it likely played a formative role in said perception.
