There's something that has been puzzling me about evolution that I've been meaning to get to for some time now. Perhaps this has been discussed before, so bear with me this one time.
How shall I put this? Why is it, if evolution were true, that man is not in harmony with the entire human race, just as the rest of nature is with itself?
I probably worded that wrong.
Let me say it this way. If left to itself, it seems to me that nature would harmonize with itself in a balanced state. In a natural way as opposed to the way I see man as a lying, cheating, murdering S.O.B.
I see a contrast between how nature harmonizes with itself and the way humans are at war with each other.
I see a disconnect between humans and the rest of nature.
It seems to me that if evolution was a viable explanation for the existence of life everything would be in a balanced and harmonious state. Instead I see disharmony and discord.
How can evolution produce a creature so out of tune with itself and each other as is the human race?
This is not a stab at evolution. No defensive replies please. I may not have time to respond to any replies, but I will read with interest.
