A Personal Search for Understanding Evolution: Sharing the same world and similar genome... but not the same ancestry or destinyBy: Jay D. Clark, M.D. Good standards of scientific investigation seem to be suspended when it comes to evolution. This work points out scientific flaws in the theory of evolution and explains the fallacy of a godless creation and purposeless existence. Hard evidence of genetic entropy is presented to show the reality of devolution (evolution's opposite). Although we are devolving physically, life gives us an opportunity to evolve spiritually. We can endure almost anything now if we are able to understand what we have to live for. The life and gospel of Jesus Christ offer realistic hope for unspeakable joy beyond mortality.
