I have never experienced telepathy but have had strange experiences. For example when my son broke his wrist I had a quick glimpse of what he saw - when I was at work! Wierd huh! However, your theory about the connectedness of life has been expressed by a brilliant ex-scientist called Rupert Sheldrake. I will direct you to his homepage Here.

He has also researched into the possibility that dogs have a telepathic relationship with owners, and, for example, some dogs will go to their front door to wait for their owners ONLY if the owner has left work. It is as if the thoughts have travelled through the air...

OK. However, you cannnot make a scientific hypothesis about telepathy based upon a few experimental samples. You would have to perform scientifically valid tests on thousands of individuals. Moreover, why woulg God programme telepathy into us? Did it help you? IMO there are too many mysteries in nature that Science cannot explain properly and we ultimately have to depend upon faith as an all encompassing sight of the truth rather than the power of reason which only sees the Truth in piecemeal fashion.

hello

why not try to think of it this way

would you agree that Satan/the enemy as a whole can put evil thoughts and desires in your mind?

What then would an Angel of the Lord do? they can go to you, and back to your son almost instantly.

Ezekiel 1:14

And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.

sometimes we (i include myself) do not give enough credit to God.

all the best

Once again David, wise words. I never thought of it that way. That means that people with evil intent use Satan's pathway whilst others use an Angelic pathway. Brilliant. and thank you for that contribution. hope you are well.

Now that I have derailed my own thread - back to the topic. I have wondered if evolution and belief in God can exist side by side. However, the vast majority of 'evolutionists' are out to debunk the idea of God altogether and do not have any room for Divine intervention or design.

In basic words, 'evolutionists' can never accept the idea of God, their ideas are all about directed change and selection. And I cannot accept the idea of no God. therefore I shall have to admit that God's idea for putting a bacterial like object in humans is the result of brilliant design. As someone on this thread has already mentioned, humans could not live on the Earth as angelic creatures - they had to resemble the creatures in the Earth and fit in at the top of food chains.

i don't think there is any real evidence of evolution, i believe there is evidence of adaptation

That said i t astounds me that science doesn't stop and think of the consequences of evolution.

let me give you an example, i fish in the see wants to go on to land here are some problems that have to be overcome.

1) there has to be a collective wish to do this, or at least a large percentage of the species

2) what happens to that wish when the individual dies?

3) is this wish passed on to siblings? if so is the wish on a cellular level?

4) there should be some environmental reason for the wish in the first place, how long does evolution need? surely the environmental needs are in constant flux? If so then isnt the evolutionary clock always being restarted

It's not a case of stretching your neck a little higher is it?

all the best

There is a bunch of real evidence for evolution. The only reasons for thinking there isn't is a desire to not want to believe in it, as logical analysis of all the gathered evidence can only lead a person to the conclusion it not only exists, but is happening all around us as we speak.

Oh, I have a few possibilities:

1. The mitochondria mentioned were in the forbidden fruit eaten by Adam and Eve. That would explain why it was forbidden (since it is apparently linked to disease) as well as some of the wording of the curse ("you shall surely die (bring death)".

2. We have simply not discovered the reason behind it. After all, it wasn't that long ago that 'bad blood' was believed to be the cause for all illness, and it had to be drained to 'cure' the victim.

3. It was introduced into our systems by some other means (as has been suggested already).

4. We ourselves created it in the era since the Industrial Revolution. It wouldn't be the first toxic substance introduced into our food supply in the name of profit.

5. It could be a mutation of the original mitochondria, brought on by any of the above, thus producing the same results. The thing that once helped us to survive is malfunctioning now?

6. We really are millions of years old and evolved into homo sapiens sapiens via evolution, guided by the hand of God. Genesis could be symbolic where we tend to think of it as literal.

That should be enough for now. Remember that all in science is not as it seems. That's why science evolves. Just because something appears to be a certain age, it does not follow it is a certain age. Just because it looks like a cat, don't be surprised if it barks at you.

hello

you can use that argument for evolutionists

what has science proved? only that it is constantly changing,recalculating,re summarizing.

Most is conjecture a lot is deliberatly made up and that which is observable is measurable

IMHO

This is just too funny for I have long believed that bacteria was of more use to humans than any concept of gods and godesses.


In monotheistic religion, a new way of thinking was here.. that Gods were not to be worshiped. Then we would no longer fight over them because we would call them angels and worship their creator. This great creator is a great power, yet we can't perceive it without help. God is slow powerful and abrupt. The father that Jesus talked about isn't God but one of the bridges to this power and a fallen angel has no such connection. It's Gods son and called the son of man. It's mind is much like that of a child and yet one finds it's cells in dirt and sleeping in the brains of billions. The immortal Christ that never dies is many minds and one is the lamb of God and another is the lion that dwells in man. You can see it in Egypt and across the Atlantic. A manager of food webs and evolver of animals, yet it's said that what an animals is to be is decided in advance and then the animal is built from an existing animal. It is both created and evolved. Listen to the words of Jesus and you will understand what was talking.

God built cells and thus all life is modeled in his image. One sees this best when one sees many acting as one.

Why do you say "I am"? you are trillions of "I am's" yet you say I am one.

what of ants that all act like one as no ant is in charge of another. There are microbes involved in the ant's collective "I am". Look up walbachia and see that new insects are evolved from dirt. Complete with virgin births and all. With a different "I am" in all.

It is the ego of man that prevents those text's from making sense and it's that same ego that celebrates the death of profits more then their life.

Did man started out with mitochondria? look at the works and see that all animals have them. Mitochondria are in the cells of all animals and required for animal life. The lion laid down with the lamb, as the predator of mitochondria became it's protector and modern cell was possible. Mitochondria are like sheep that live in the belly of a lion.

What would a man that spent his entire life in a window less room know about the sun? Even if he had a book that spoke of the sun he would imagine it not. When one looks at observation or data and it doesn't fit what you believe to be true. It's not the observations or data with the flaw. It's the man with the flaw.

It's both Evolution and Creation. There is both vertical gene transfer and horizontal gene transfer. There is an intelligence in the design and there was an intelligence before life.

Abram was not 9 months old at birth for he had the seed and was older then his years.

Wow. How do you come up with this stuff?

Science has only one preference - the truth. That's all. It strives to figure out how stuff works. If there was evidence for a god, science would be the loudest supporter. But then that fact makes your argument look ridiculous, so you ignore it, and make up your own explanation of science. Which is all kinds of wrong.

Clearly you don't want to learn anything that might show your indoctrination to be wrong. Which I can understand, as to realise you've been mislead your whole life can surely be painful. I hope you stop embracing ignorance some day.

hello there

like science you seem to make assumptions. Ive been a Christian for 7 and a half years, im 37 now, so ive had plenty of time before hand to be indoctrinated into the science of the possible and implausable

pick up any news paper and what you find is the following

scientist think,

that A Could, May, might etc

I'm all for science that can quantify and measure and document. However science that is speculation and builds great theory from nothing and pure fabrication is pathetic

Yes i have a faith in Jesus, i have seen and experienced both sides of the coin. I trust God's word 100% just like some people trust very word of science, the difference? I believe God he never changes, unlike the ever shifting science that constantly changes its findings on any given subject.

I believe the promises of God and the path to Salvation and that my faith in Christ is a gift of God by the grace of God. What type of a Christian would i be to then dismiss the other parts of his words after gladly accepting this?

Selfish for a start. but please dont think i accept this blindly i do not. I fully believe that the Bible backs up science in the areas they share.

All the Best

David
