I'm not buying it

I think I need to take a page out of the history of the earth. The earth was hot at first, then cooled. As it did, life began to flourish on the earth. First it was in the sea; then came the flying creatures, then the huge reptiles. They disappeared. Next came several species of humans, the last of which was the species that modern people resemble. Over that period of time the earth continued to change. It went through periods of ice over much of the earth and through periods of heat and drought. Once a volcano erupted that nearly caused the human race to go extinct.

All that to say that sometimes we have to depart from childhood ideas and ideals. Circumstances around a person change. Sometimes huge changes take place that cause the world to "be a different place." A person, for example, who became an adult in 1930 went through so much change during the 20th century that his or her childhood didn't even resemble the childhood of his or her grandchildren. It was a different world!

And although it is the popular idea that the One who made the world and everything in it never changes, there's something about the history of the earth and the world that I was born into and that I will exit that tells me a different story. And I wish that the children of the Creator would allow God to deal with each of his children in the generation in which he was born instead of always trying to figure out the grand design and saying that they have captured God in some design that they have concocted. Or that the way the Creator dealt with his children of the ancient past is the way in which he deals with His current children. I'm not buying it (if it is for sale anywhere).
