The vast physical and temperamental differences that exist among the nearly two hundred varieties of dogs, all capable of interbreeding, provides for us a perfect illustration of the richness of some God-created gene pools.

Spaniels, beagles, greyhounds, collies, bulldogs, chows and whippets - vastly different in size, shape, colour pattern, hair type and capacities, but all belonging to the same "tree" of dog-kind!

Many branches but one tree. God created the DNA code of this "tree" to read D-O-G.

And while the world remains, no dog will begin to become a cat, nor will any cat begin to become a dog.

If the present world were suddenly overwhelmed by a flood of waters (which it will not be - see Genesis 9:11) evolutionists of the future would no doubt assume that the fossils of dachshunds must be dated a million years earlier than the fossils of great danes!
In a similar fashion the "evolution" of man himself has been reconstructed.

But man is the crown of God's creation.
He was made in the image and likeness of his Creator and was given complete dominion over the earth (Gen 1:26).

"The heavens are the heavens of the Lord but the earth hath he given to the children of men" (Psalm 115:16).

Fallen man has lost that original dominion but still possesses God's image (Gen 9:6, James 3:9)
Redeemed through Christ, God's incarnate Son, believing men have already been moved positionally from the realm of "a little lower than the angels" (Hebrews 2:7) to where God has "made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus." (Ephesians 2:6)
Glorified men will even judge angels! (1 Corinthians 6:3)

In the light of all this, how utterly blasphemous is the popular idea that we are little more than a "naked ape".

The physical differences between men and apes are enormous.
But if the physical differences are great, the mental, cultural and spiritual differences are infinite!

Of all living beings on this planet, only man is self-conscious as a person, is sufficiently free from the bondage of instinct to exercise real choices and to have significant purposes and goals in life.
He has complex emotions including sadness and joy; appreciates art and music creatively; can use oral and written symbols to communicate abstract concepts to other people and thus enjoy true fellowship; can discern moral right and wrong and suffer agonies of conscience and thus can recognize the existence and rightful demands of his Creator through worship, sacrifice and service.

God is my Creator and your Creator. He loves me and He loves you. He created all of us for a purpose -that we might enjoy fellowship with Him.
