The ongoing debate of whether or not humans were created or evolved may never be resolved this side of death’s door. To those who would argue that human existence is merely the result of a long series of evolutionary events, turn up the radio and listen to this evidence. The logic of pure evolution would suggest that all living creatures developed both physically and mentally to adapt to conditions and ensure survival. If that is true, then there would be little reason for a spiritual “link” to a higher power or creator.

How then do we explain our enjoyment of music? Music has no practical application to our survival (with the possible exception of country music). Music soothes the spirit, quiets a troubled mind and brings tears of remembrance. Music relaxes, inspires and brings a feeling of euphoria. Music triggers memories. Music makes us feel loving or loved. But music doesn’t fit into the “flight-or-fight” scenario nor does it teach us how to cultivate crops. So, there doesn’t seems to be much support for an appreciation of music as a result of evolution.

Consider how much music plays a part in your life and then answer this:

Is appreciation of music a product of evolution or a sign of divinity?
