if you wouldn't mind, could you extract the principle from which you have arrived at rejecting evolution as they call it, and explain it to me like i am five and i have asked you "why don't you believe in evolution?"

DNA only begets DNA. This is observable in the lab. It also aligns with "fruits bearing their own seeds within them" of Scripture. Like begets like. The Biblical Adam was not merely a legendary figure, he was also purely historical. Macro evolution has never been observed in a laboratory, and there are no 'transitional forms' in the fossil record. It also defies mathematics and probability. Darwin himself said that if any organ or system or system of systems could be shown that could not have their complexity reduced "my entire system breaks down." The human eye does this, as does the requirement for all human systems (circulatory, lymphatic, musculoskeltal, cardiovascular, etc.0 to be developed to the same point, at the same time, and in the same place, in a male AND a female, such that they can actually reproduce. But mostly? Scripture doesn't allow for it. Adam was a historical person whose actions changed the state of himself and his progency from 'blessedness' to 'curse' at a particular time and place in history. Hope that answers the question.
thats how you would describe the principle to a 5-year old?
poor kid!
here is how I would:
the greater can never come from the lesser.
evolution is just an inverted perversion of The Great Chain of Being.
That is one of the benefits of reading Guenon bro... Crisis of the Modern World is only 120 pages and every page offers an immense reward for the faithful, intellectual, seeker...
I think you should not skip over the Traditionalist school if you are pursuing Truth... Along with Guenon, there is his "successor" Frithjof Schuon, and also Ananda Coomaraswamy... their influence, Guenons in particular, in relation to EVERYTHING happening in the West as far as the pushback against unhinged liberalism, cannot be overstated...
Their perspectives are unique and invaluable to the western mind, offering profound Traditional wisdom and deep takes on, well, the crisis of modernity, relative to the Traditional world.
