IF GOD IS LOVING, WHY DOESN'T
GOD WIPE OUT EVIL?

Stop wars. Stop murder. Stop rape. Stop abortion. God stop it all. Do you really want God to wipe out all evil? Right now? If God, in His Holiness, was to remove every trace of evil from creation, he would have to include our lies, our cheating, our impure thoughts, our failure to do good -- us. If God was to destroy everything evil in an hour's time, who of us would still be here? The fact is, most people only want God to stop evil they see in others, or that affects them, their family or friends, or the cute child on TV. God's plan of salvation is a far better way. He saves you, he makes new you, he changes you over time. One day all evil will be eradicated for good. Only what is made new in Christ will remain. "It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions never fail." (Lamentations 3:22)

 
You Said It!

"To suppose that the eye, with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible degree."

(Chapter entitled, "Difficulties on theory.")
