Cain in a fit of anger fueled by jealousy killed his brother
and when God called him to account he responded, “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
(Genesis 4:9).
Cain the chimp could read.
He was sitting in his cage reading the story about his namesake, Cain and
looking up he sees his keeper. He then begins pondering the question, “Am I my keeper’s brother?”
Seeing the chimp reading a Bible the zoo keeper thought, “Well,
I’ll be a monkey’s uncle.”
Given the right circumstances you might well be a monkey’s
uncle and now I will tell you why.
The universe is in a state of winding down. You can demonstrate this in any number of
ways. Spin a coin and it will eventually
fall over. Spin a top and it too will
fall over. Despite man’s best attempts
he has never created a perpetual motion machine. Take your thermometer and measure the sun’s
heat and then come back later and measure it again—even if imperceptible, it is
cooling.
To continue this wild
argument we must disembowel the favorite notion of the evolutionist. It is this.
Man in every way is getting better and better. So in the face of this great wind down the
evolutionist postulates that the one exception is mankind who Darwin theorized
shared a common ancestor with the chimpanzee.
However, just suppose for a moment that such is not true,
well you do not have to suppose unless you are an evolutionist. That means that given enough time (time is
the evolutionists second favorite notion) then man will eventually wind down to
a lower state and then a lower state and then a lower state and so on.
Eventually where does man end up—a lower form like a monkey
(of course they too wind down and so may not even exist millions and millions
and millions and millions of years in the future). So then logically one can be a monkey’s
great, great, great (ad infinitum) …uncle, thus, one day “I’ll be a monkey’s
uncle” or maybe a monkey’s aunt!
Of course the other common usage of the expression is to
indicate disbelief. I believe I’ll take
meaning option two for in addition to the human race winding down so too is
creation. As a result, it will not
survive for those millions of years necessary for all of this to take place.
In the face of all of this “good news” there is genuine "good news" and it is this. The Lord, Jesus Christ is coming back and He is going to put things right! All it takes is a little child-like faith. Read about it in Revelation 21-22.
