Do Mercedes-Benz cars evolve?
I saw a commercial for Mercedes-Benz automobiles that made a great case against evolution. They were showing a dilapidated building and then the announcer says that decay is the opposite of evolution, and then uses their new car as an example.
Here it is in their own words:
"Decay is the opposite of evolution, of improvement, and it's why Mercedes-Benz can never stop moving forward."
I think they have well demonstrated the problem with any evolutionary theory - things decay, unless someone improves upon them and/or actively maintains them. Do Mercedes-Benz cars constantly evolve to higher forms on their own? Do Mercedes vehicles eat other less fit vehicles (Chevys maybe) and then become a more dominant vehicle in the market place? No, whether it be cars or organic life, nothing comes into being, improves, or resists decay without intelligent design and maintenance.
Col. 1:16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. (NKJV)
Heb. 1:3 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power....
Without God, their could be no design or improvement in anything, only decay!
