The Bible Proves Evolution!
 

No kidding, the Bible does supports the theory of evolution.

In the garden of Eden God placed  every tree that is pleasant to look at and good for food.  First, the lollypop tree, then the ice cream cone tree, the apple tree - all good to look at and good to eat.  Except that darn old tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Right there in the midst of the garden stood a very special tree, the Tree of Life.
No doubt this tree produced fruit to rejuvenate humans and ward off the effects of  aging.

And there, at the end of the Bible, in God's heavenly paradise, grows another
special tree. "In  the midst of heaven was there the tree of life, which gave twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations."

"And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in that heavenly place...for the Lord God gives them light: and his servants shall reign for ever and ever..."

And, finally,  there on Calvary,  just outside the gates of Jerusalem and at the center of human history, so to speak, stands the tree of  suffering where Jesus died and defined forever, with his  blood,  the forgiving nature of God.  And, made it clear  if Jesus is the Messiah and Son of God  he is one best understood in terms of a defeated, Suffering Servant. Calvary's tree  rightly continues today as the universal symbol of  the faith founded by Jesus Christ.  Truly, yet another Tree of Life.

God, I'm glad to occasionally get away from sterile plastic.   Let me eat my meals off a
an oak table and admire its shiny rich grain.  And end my day by jumping into a wooden
bed with its rich finish and ornately carved surfaces.  Just remembered, think I'll end my days, too, and jump into a nicely finished mahogany casket. Ditch the plastics and leave the lethal petroleum in the ground!

And back to trees.  It's no accident the tree  is a symbol often popping up in the great stories and myths of Christianity.  TREES R US.  Its part of our primordial history, our ancient bulwark and shield.  Way back when  when  australeopithecus was knee high to a grasshopper.

And I have the pic to prove it.  Modern pic  suggesting ancient realities for  early man.

                Caption:   Chimpanzees are built for climbing trees: their long arms, keen eyesight
                                    and opposable thumbs on both hands and feet  help them navigate
                                    the high treetops in search of fruit, on a hunt, or when building
                                    their nests to bed down for the night.

         Yep, I'm suggesting  early man also, like the chimp very close to him on
the evolutionary  tree/bush, appreciated the survival value hugging a tree.   It was  no accident a few hundered thousand years later,  homo chimps could not resist a nod of gratitude toward trees by incorporating them in his grandest, most cherished myths - in the Holy Bible.
 
  It all sure makes me think evolution is not a theory but a grand reality.

  Yes, indeedy, right from the beginning our DNA programmed us to love trees. It's something about shade, comfort and security. Even ULTIMATE and eternal security!
