Creation Moment 4/29/2026 - Beloved or Top Dog of Dust?

"The Biblical story of creation assures us that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made.” (Psalm 139:14)
And although our free-will choices early on short-circuited our designed ability to transform nature into an extended paradise, the narrative carefully reveals humans as beloved.

God’s love, far from intellectually detached, enters the story in the familiar plotline of a loving prince redeeming the captive princess at the cost of His own life.
Borrowing from the overall scope of life on Earth, evolution’s allure likely comes from the notion that humans represent the “most highly evolved” species on the planet. 

So, if we’re at bottom a speck of dust, at least we’re on top of the other bits of dust. And as long as we’re top dog (or dust), we can tolerate our unglamorous ancestry."
