GENE-WHAT?

Birth certificate. Never face the world without it. 

Apply for anything—job, driver's license, passport—you'd be asked, "Your BC please." 

Of course. You've got to show proof that you're someone's kid. That another human gave birth to you. Your authenticity depends on it. 

The Jews are big on genealogy. They record—just as we do today—who fathered who from generation to generation. That's their version of the municipal or city records affirming your identity as someone's child. 

The genealogy of Jesus (Luke 3:23-38) backtracks several generations. He was born to His human family through Mary, under the care of Joseph, a direct descendant of David—as prophesied in Scripture. 

Jumping generations earlier: Obed, son of Boaz by Ruth; further back, Judah, son of Jacob, son of Isaac, son of Abraham; much earlier, Shem, one of Noah's sons. 

Further... Adam! His beginning? God! He formed Adam from dust then breathed His breath unto him. 

Whatever comes from man is man. One umbilical cord to the next. The whole of nature is like that—each kind producing its own kind. Mommy mango yields baby mango. Elephants their tiny elephants. 

So where does the mutation or evolution factor figure? Pray tell, how does a beautiful and smart being like you mutate from a virus-like thinggy or the monkey? As far as we know, apes and single-celled organisms still abound. 

If we believe that everything in nature produces its own kind, why would some so-called scientists hard-sell the concept that we are merely animals? Duh! 

Is it to push a sinister agenda that we, being just like dogs, are expected to behave as such and act as if we're not accountable—and therefore free to follow our own lustful ways? 

I too used to think that the story of Adam and Eve was some kind of metaphor about the origin of man. But genealogies leave no room for doubt. Tracing your family line is a straight-arrow proof of who sired who. 

Why is it so hard to believe that this powerful and mighty God could create an awesome creature such as you and me? He—who by His infinite wisdom placed the stars in their place—is the same mighty Creator who fashioned us in our mother's womb. 

Which would you rather believe? Randomly-formed you? That's evolution. Or intelligenty-created you? 

"Fearfully and wonderfully made," per Psalms 139:14. You belong to humankind, not ape-kind. 

Take out your birth certificate! It backtracks you to God—Creator of everything.
