Metamorphosis

In previous podcasts we have highlighted the way that microbe-to-man evolution did not gain widespread acceptance until industrialization and urbanization had cut off most of Christendom from the land. We have argued that this was necessary because people who live in continual contact with nature and who work the land would never have accepted, for example, the outrageous claim that insects evolved millions of years before birds. Millennia of experience confirm the commonsense intuition of farmers across the globe that a year without birds would be sufficient to let insects devastate vegetation and plunge the world into famine and that God knew what He was doing when He created birds and insects together during the Hexameron.
