11And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 12And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 13And the evening and the morning were the third day.
The next time you bite into a juicy apple, or eat sweet grapes, or a succulent orange, or eat tasty cereal, or look at lush green grass, you have a Cause, in Genesis. Instead of saying that the causeless chaos of a big bang in space resulted in the accident of all the different herbs--alfalfa, mint, cinnamon, basil, garlic, parsley, siege and thyme, in time, you can know that they were created by God, for the taste buds of mankind.
And as you plant the plants in the dry earth that God made, you can thank Him that each of these tasty plants contain the inherent ability to bring forth after their own kind. The garlic plant has seeds within it to produce more garlic plants. The parsley plant has its own ability to "go to seed" and put into your thankful hands seeds that will give you more parsley. But if you are an atheist you have to look at everything and think "A fortunate accident." Such thoughts are indeed foolishness.
Each of the varieties of fruits we so love also have this ability to put seeds into your hand so that you can grow more fruit, after their kind. Evolution doesn't know why this is. It neither asks the deep questions, nor gives a hint of an answer. It just is, with no reason or purpose.
This is perfectly summed up by an atheist, who said,
"Ray, You apparently fail to realize that atheism is merely the position on the existence of God (or any gods for that matter), and that it does not pretend or intend to offer a position on things like the formation of planet Earth, the tides, daylight or the other things you're complaining atheism has no explanation for."
Atheism is nothing, believes in nothing, and offers nothing but hopelessness, death, and damnation. You only have one shot at this life. Don't blow it big time with the stupidity of atheism.
