"Since no one claims this, its pretty irrelevant."
It is quite relevant. We are talking about how we got here, on earth. You are an evolutionist. Which Im assuming means you evolved from the big
bang of the Universe. The problem I have with that is that there “is” micro-evolution meaning that individuals of a particular species develop
behavioral changes or adapt minimal alterations to their existing anatomy [cave dwelling animals become blind] to help them adjust to their
environment if it helps them to survive. Im sure that there are adaptations that do not work and they don’t lead anywhere [albino].
“They have major genes that they share in common. How'd this happen is jesus made them out of clay?”
Where did you read that Jesus created living organisms out of clay? There is plenty of evidence in the Bible he brought the dead back to life and
cured people of maladies including mental disorders; but I haven’t read anything about him creating anything. He was here to plant God’s seed.
And from what I read he wasn’t able to find a single person o his disciples, except Mary Magdelan. And I haven’t uncovered any evidence yet that
he passed it on to her.
“Oh you want proof of evolution how about the new H5N1 strain of bird flu that evolved with what looks like is going to become a devastating
effect.”
Read Revelations, anyone who knows anything about the Bible will tell you it sure looks like we are in the “end times”. Which says there will
be “pestilences” to wipe out millions if not billions of people. Besides this is “micro-evolution” an organism adapting to survive. If man
successfully wipes out all of the chickens in the world to eliminate H5N1 it will survive by invading the cells of other species. Evolution takes
place over millions of years, this is happening within a few years, definitely suggestive of a higher “thought” process and a definite purpose.
Time will tell.
Science has no “proof” that single cell organisms evolved into multi-celled organisms. They have fossil evidence that they existed, the
multi-cell after the single cell and they go on the assumption that one evolved from the other. Ask a “real” expert, one who devotes his/her life
to the pursuit of biological evolutionary evidence. It is the “theory” of evolution because at this time it is the best explanation they can
come up with. And Im telling you that the Bible clearly states that life did evolve on earth and that the evolution process was “created” by
God.
“ElOne,
Interesting stuff. Could you provide a link so we can read the info in context? Is there actual science to it? We do prefer some sort of science to
back opinions rather than bible references as not all of us are believers.
I would also like to know why your god spared Australia from the great flood? The animals [and people] on this continent have been slowly evolving
uninterrupted and in isolation for millions of years.”
I double check and recheck anything I don’t understand, by “Googling”. I started out as a pure evolutionist, then by being open minded by
nature, I discuss ideas with people that I meet who spend their life, in one discipline of science. A good place to start is with the Bible. There
are online versions and online dictionaries too. I keep at least two explorer panes open at any time to check the validity of a word or fact. The
problem with the Bible is that there are so many “interpretations” or versions that it is difficult to determine which is the most accurate. For
the Old Testament I “Google” a Hebrew to English bible since it was written in Hebrew.
www.mechon-mamre.org... This site is one that I use. Read it like a story book. It is interesting. Then query any questions you
have. I like Google, Im sure there are other deep web sites, Im comfortable with this one.
Im not selling anything. I get involved in these discussions because every once in a while I am stumped. And there is the possibility for me to
learn. And here tonight, is one of them.
“I would also like to know why your god spared Australia from the great flood? The animals [and people] on this continent have been slowly evolving
uninterrupted and in isolation for millions of years.”
I don’t know the answer to that one. Yet! But if there is an answer out there somewhere I will do my best to find it, and get back to you. My hat
goes off to you. I am on a quest.
