Three Legs


While Dan and I were praying together,the rather bizarre thought came to me (I should never admit this) that I do not know of multiple generations of three legged men. For that matter you hardly ever see multiple generations of two tailed dogs or cats passing along the trait of three ears to their little kittens. The entire premise behind evolution is that rather extraordinary changes in body composition occur in species which result in entirely new species...a lizard with feathers becomes a bird...a rhinoceros develops skinny legs and a mane and turns into a horse...fish sprout legs and are shellless turtles. Of course cloning seems to be the scientific way to recreate evolutionary processes (if they ever existed) Wouldn't it be cool if suddenly we had a baby born with a functioning eye on the back of her head. Clone that child and you suddenly have perfectly adapted parents. Of course it would be even better if those eyes could extend out and follow your child to school. Then you might really have something. Imagine greeting your son when he comes home by the offhand comment, "I saw what you did in the lunch line" and be able to mean it...
1 Peter 3:12
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
and his ears are attentive to their prayer,
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
