"I think therefore I am" - But how can I think? I don't think like other animals on earth. If we all evolved together ( humans and animals ) why is there such a huge gap between the humans and even the smartest animals? To say that there isn't, completely ignores the fact that we can recognize that there is a difference ( however large or small ) and ask questions about what that means!!
Let's say evolution, or some similar scientifically plausible cause explains the origin of humans. But then Biology is required to explain how something like evolution can be the explanation of the origin of humans. But to explain biology, a broader field called "science" has to come underneath biology to support it's structure. But what explains science? What explains how scientific laws and principles came about? Is there an explanation within science itself that adequately prooves its own origins? Can you use scientific laws and principles to explain how those very laws and principles came about? Can you simply state that they have always been, that they had to be, and that they could not have been any different?
No.
The only solid base for the origin and nature of science is God.
Chemistry does not create the periodic table of elements any more than mathematics creates numbers and physics creates gravity.

Renovare Week 11: May 4-10
Henri Nouwen - Making all Things New
Bringing solitude into our lives is like shutting the doors after living with them open all our lives. All our friends in the form of distractions are suddenly annoyed that they can't come in and start banging on the door! After a while the friends stop coming to visit.
A spiritual life is impossible without solitude.
