Creativity & Evolution

Creativity today is under assault from many quarters.  Those that doubt creativity often believe solely in evolution.

I can't understand why anyone would doubt the existence of creativity.  One needs only to look around and observe their surroundings.  The sun rises, the sun sets every day.  The moon is a regular occurrence in the night sky.  The tides come in and the tides go out.  There is Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.  We have an abundance of an unending variety of plants.  Animals of all kinds, sizes and shapes roam the landscape.  The human body is an extremely intricate complex thing, as are all living organisms.  All this cannot possibly have just happened.  It's marvelous that something the size of an acorn can grow to be a mighty oak tree.

Evolution on the other hand is somewhat like gravity, an unseen force.  We know and feel the effects of gravity.  Evolution is also unseen but not so readily observable.  The question to ask about evolution is, "What is the force that makes it work?"
