“The variety of creatures is the multiform expression of the goodness of God. This has one fundamental consequence: as a result of belief in creation, creatures are to be seen in a positive light. At one place in the Book of Wisdom, it says, “ Thou hast loathing for none of the things which thou hast made” (Wis 11:24). All creatures have their own value, their own kind of rightness. Every creature, whether it be a star or a stone, a plant or a tree, an animal or a human being, reflects the perfection and the goodness of God in its own particular fashion. They all have their own value and likewise their own effect on the world. [...] Evolutionism as a way of seeing the world (not as a scientific theory) has far greater difficulty with this. For this worldview, there are not really any species, for things have no existence of their own. What we regard as “species” are in fact merely “snapshots” in the great stream of evolution. Everything is just transition and a stage being passed through, and each individual is merely a fluke, which had the luck to survive because it was “more fit” than the others. This is certainly a short-sighted view of the variety of creation. The way men marvel at the variety of nature gives us a hint of something different. Above all, it seems to me, evolutionism as a worldview cannot actually offer any reason why anything has any value in itself, if everything is, so to say, merely a transitory stage in the stream of evolution.”
