"whatsoever ye would that men should do to you" - Why We Should Trust in God

Why We Should Trust in God

The fist primate emerged 100 million to 70 million years ago in a form like a rat. The anthropoid primate emerged with the ability to rear up 40 million yeas ago. Then, the Hominoidea emerged 30 million years ago without tails.  Then, Hominidae evolved 17 million years ago, whose descendants still live today as chimpanzees, gorillas, etc.  And between 60 million and 50 million years ago, Homininae evolved with the ability of biped walking.  And finally, 2 million years ago, Homo habilis evolved as the first member of Hominini.

However, it was just 2000 years ago that God sent his Son, Christ Jesus, to the mankind.  And it had taken 2000 years from Abraham to Christ Jesus.

It means that there are many steps for God to exert His power on the mankind.  God did not create the mankind 100 million years ago in the world occupied by dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs had to be exterminated with a huge meteor 65 million years ago when the distant ancestors of the mankind were a kind of rats.   Then God waited for 63 million years till Homo habilis evolved.  And finally 4000 years ago, God chose Abraham who set the religious foundation for the coming of Christ Jesus 2000 years later.

That is why it is hard for us to see what we are, since it requires for us to grasp these series of evolution over 100 million years.

We can understand what we are only from a view point of God.  To understand a view point of God, we have to learn the words of God.  And, Christ Jesus said that the mankind were more valuable than sparrows God took care of.

As God took such long procedures, He would not abandon the mankind easily.  Otherwise, God should have put an end at any time in the path to the evolution to H. s. sapiens, namely the mankind. 
That is why we should trust in God.

Mat 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
