Accidentally on purpose where bad science can’t usurp us
Paramecia don’t become parakeets. And an amoeba will never be an ambulance driver. Not in a million, trillion years. Because changes like that don’t happen. Not by accident. Not on purpose. And certainly not accidentally on purpose.
Accidentally on purpose used to be a joke, when I was a kid.
But we didn’t imagine how serious that whole “accidental” thing would be. We were just kids playing around with words. Then, one day the kid stuff disappeared. And words started to mean so much more.
And I learned I was like none of the other creatures on Earth. Then, I discovered there is a God who loves me. A Creator who made me in His image and His likeness. But even then I didn’t fully realize what that meant. I had no idea there would be so much scientific evidence to prove the existence of a Designer.
But I was thrilled when I found out more about how we all got here. Because, without a Creator, all this creation doesn’t make sense. There’s no purpose. Accidentally or otherwise. And like I’ve said for years…

I am a child of God…child of the Living God…
The One who spoke and made the universe.
I am a child of God…child of the Living God…
The One who saved me from my sinful curse.
(repeat)
I did not come out of slime.
That would take way too much time.
You can clearly see that I’m
A whole lot more than simple dirt.
Take a closer look and see
Information runs through me
From The One Who sets me free.
Listen now to my alert…
Chorus
