The Miracle of Evolution

Once you begin to look at the world through evolution by natural selection, life on Earth seems so much more miraculous than creationism could ever make it appear. Think about it for a moment, creationism proposes that all life on Earth came about in seven days of spontaneous creation; but evolution by natural selection shows each form of life as having developed over millions of years of subtle change, countless eons of history written into the genetic code of every living thing. At the same time, millions of species of life on our planet may never have existed if natural selection had taken a different course. Now which is the bigger miracle, spontaneous creation or evolution and adaptation to such a harsh planet? When you open your eyes to scientific naturalism, whenever you see a bird or a butterfly you see the struggle it took over millions of years to get here, you see its countless ancestors, its family tree, and eventually the common ancestor you yourself share with it. Again I ask which is the bigger miracle? Everything being created in its current form; or millions of years of struggle for survival and slow change which just as easily may not have happened if nature had taken a slightly different course? THAT is a miracle.
