The Paradox
Two of the most fascinating truths I know are these:
1. I am a child of God, created for a divine purpose.
2. My body evolved over billions of years from simpler life forms.
Fascinating as they are, I've tried to envision some way to reconcile the two. I don't worry about it anymore. Ultimately there should be harmony. The problem is, I don't think it's possible to mingle them as they are presently understood.
What I do know is my natural origin and divine purpose bear fruit. One inspires awe in nature, the other inspires overcoming my lower nature. One is a model of life as it is, the other a model of my life as it can be. Both are true because they enlighten my mind.
