Made in China and Proof that Evolution is BOGUS!

For those of you who know me best, you will appreciate this the most.

With all the news about lead being found in toys from China (is there a toy NOT from China??), I found myself concerned about my 4 year old, the thumb-sucker. (That's him beside Joe, thumb in mouth, reflecting on life while riding Thomas the Train this past summer.) Micah has been known, since around 4 months of age, to be part monkey and part goat. When presented with an object or obstacle, he will either eat it or climb it!! (No joke, he was crawling by 5 mths of age! That was SUCH an OMEN!!!) Anyway, I made it very clear to him not to put toys or his fingers in his mouth while he was playing with his toys. He was also instructed to wash his hands after playing with toys. We talked about why and what could happen. I know you're thinking , OVERKILL, and that he wasn't listening or understanding. You are quite wrong.

We arrive at church, and I take Micah to his Bible class. As he sits down next to another little boy who has brought a toy plane, I observe Micah staring intently at the plane. I watch for a few moments to make sure he is not going to grab the toy, when Micah, very seriously asks the boy, "Is that toy made in China?" I thought his teacher was going to fall out of her chair. He then began to tell the little boy,verbatim, and in an eerily familiar tone, all the rules for playing with toys "made in China." If that were not enough, he came to me a few days later holding a toy and informing me that he had not only put the toy in his mouth and then put his finger in his mouth, but that nothing had happened, and he could "...still think. My head is okay."

For those of you who believe in evolution and the theory of "survival of the fittest," I tell you I have proof of how ridiculous Darwin's ideas are, besides the obvious biblical ones. After marrying Joe and having Micah, I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that if Darwin's theory were true, no male would ever make it to adulthood. Their survival and ability to live long enough to perpetuate the species is by the sheer grace of God, an ongoing miracle.

Out of the mouths of babes....My friend Gerry's son, Ben (8):

Ben: (excitedly) Mom! I have acid reflux.
Gerry: What? How do you know you have acid reflux?
Ben: Because when I threw this (toy) I was able to catch it like this!!

Reflux, reflex.....
