What If...

 This thought just popped into my head today so I am still fleshing it out, but I wanted to put some words and structure to my thoughts atleast for me. 

You know how it says essentially God's wisdom subverts the intelligence and wisdom of those who think they are intelligent and wise... 

"For it is written:

“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;

                 the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”
x

-1 Corinthians 1:19 (quoting Isaiah 29:14) 

It seems like a lot of people credit the scientific studies area as one of the most intelligent- and deservingly so in many arenas, there have been so many amazing medical discoveries, math, space, transportation, etc.  One of the bigger topics in the last couple hundred years is the “survival of the fittest” evolutionary viewpoint. The animals and humans still around are therefore considered the “best” and the “most well-adapted” and therefore, good.  But what if it is opposite, because the further we move from initial creation, the more and more the earth is moving away from God’s design.  The impact of humans through pollution and things that we considered good but are killing off tons of creatures that just weren’t adept enough to overcome habitat decimation… our wastefulness… spread of disease, etc. What if the creatures, plants, and humans that are surviving are not in fact the best ones created, but the best ones to deal with the growing chasm and distance between original design and intended design.  They can just handle and live closer to death better than the others. 

We have lost so much beautiful diversity in the thousands of years of human “advancement”, both in animals and plants, and so much more I am sure.  What if what we say is intelligent and wise as the creatures and things that survive, is actually upside down? As the beautiful diversity that is killed off and cannot survive our destruction, what if that was the best?

I don’t even know if that makes sense since I don’t have any conclusions yet, but between hearing of all the trees that have been eliminated and we will never see… the animals and the songs of birds we will never hear… reading about the original way the Chesapeake Bay was found and the amazing eco-diversity that was there now… seeing all these invasive non-native plants taking over… it just seem like we are moving further and further away from good and the things falling off are the ones that can’t survive this brokenness are the things closest to “good”.
