what about the sacred ratio? fiburnacci ?? numbers... its found almost everywhere.. is that proof?
How are the Fibonacci numbers proof of a deity and creation? How are they 'sacred'?
Being prevalent doesn't mean that they're proof of creation.

But that probably wouldn't go well with the evolutionist who likes to arrogantly claim we are the only creatures in the universe, an arrogance that is just as fanatical as the bible thumper screaming about redemption on a soap box.
Whats the difference? One soap box is just paid for by an educational foundation.

Here is how they are sacred and evidence of a designing, transcendental intelligence:

After mastering these research papers, try studying many of the 51 other articles, which offer even more remarkable, mathematical proof of the existence of divine design behind superstrings, human DNA, the human skeleton, the seven musical diatonic scales and other examples of holistic systems. This is groundbreaking research that provides the irrefutable, mathematical connection between religion and science.edit on 10-10-2010 by micpsi because: reply added in wrong place.

Well as for either case of origins no one can assuredly prove their case as no one mortal was around at the exact moment the earth was created, (or in an evolutionary believers case expanded and contracted).
Though there was someone who was in the spiritual God=Jesus, and six days later Adam and Eve.
Now with those who do not Believe that the Bible is the dictated word of God from beginning to end with out error must understand it is your responsibility to prove that it is wrong not mine to prove it is right.

"""The benefit of the doubt is to be given to the document itself, not assigned by the critic to himself"""
As to why ""I"" do not except the religious belief of evolution,
1. Cosmic evolution- the origin of time, space and matter. Big Bang. No one there to see it happen religious belief.
2. Chemical evolution- the origin of higher elements from hydrogen.
3. Stellar and planetary evolution- Origin of stars and planets.
4. Organic evolution- Origin of life from inanimate matter.
5. Macroevolution- Origin of major kinds.
6. Microevolution Variations within kinds- Only this one has been observed, the first five are religious.
They are believed, by faith, even though there is no empirical evidence to prove them in any way.
While I admire the great faith of the evolutionists who accept the first five I object to having this religious propaganda included in with legitimate science at taxpayer’s expense.
The above is the six kinds of evolution that would have to take place for evolutionary beliefs to be true, only the last one is agreed upon by Bible believers and evolutionary believers.
That one happens every day.
We engineer corn and plant is and walla up comes corn. We breed a big dog with a little dog and again a dog is born. Variation and adaptation do exist and is not proof that the other 5 above definitions are true.
Man has never ever seen any live birth example of evolution
and fossils do not constitute proof, Why? because dead bones are just that, one can not prove if they came from an organism different than itself or that it had any offspring.
Just because it does not exist today does not mean that it is a relative of something today.
As I stated above no one can prove for a fact either case, but if the Bible is true then there should be some predictions that would show that we were created as stated.
The Bible says that the world was destroyed
Genesis 6
[17] And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
Genesis 7
[4] For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living
substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
Genesis
[17] And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
[18] And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
[19] And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
[20] Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
[21] And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
[22] All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
[23] And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
[11] In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
So with that said and the water was upon the earth for over a year. Lets see what predictions could be made
1. Well the Bible says that the fountains of the deep broke up, well deep sea exploration has proved there are fountains or springs deep under the oceans.
2. Windows of heaven, I will not get to into the definition but in the beginning there was a layer of water in the form of ice which would have created double the air pressure we have today which allow the Pterosaurs to fly with its 50 foot wing span.
3. Also this greater air pressure would allow for plants and animals to grow larger.
4. The air pressure would allow for quicker healing, check out how a hyperbaric chamber helps.

5. With these kind of conditions reptiles which grow until they die would grow extremely large.
When an object undergoes a proportional increase in size, its new volume is proportional to the cube of the multiplier and its new surface area is proportional to the square of the multiplier.
6. Since a flood happen globally you should see large coal deposits, large mass graves of animals (fossil beds)
7. Since it took 40 days to cover the planet you would first see the slow moving organisms at the bottom, then larger and larger animals as they would move to higher ground until cut off and the last you would see flying animals.
8. www.s8int.com...
You should find man made objects in lower than normal levels as the link show they have and do.
9. There should be evidence that man and dinosaurs (a recently made word as dragon was the word to describe these large creatures was in use until the 1800's)
www.crystalinks.com...
Shows men killing, riding and such dragons or dinosaurs,
China, England, Persia, ect. ect all have tales ( which are considered myths to use as we have been brain washed into thinking that dinosaurs and man did not exist together.)
As late as the early 1900's tribes from areas in Africa have told of a large long necked creature in the Congo,
in South America the spoke of a large Bird like reptile that would scoop up children.
Job 40
[15] Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
[16] Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
[17] He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
[18] His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
There are no animals today that this description fits, sounds like a brontosaurus to me.
leviathan
[14] Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.
[15] His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
[16] One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
[17] They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
[18] By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
[19] Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
[20] Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.
[21] His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
Flame breathing animals hmmph. Myth or reality??
Genesis 1
[6] And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
[7] And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. ( this was not the clouds we see today as there was no rain upon the earth until the flood)
[8] And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9. The earth is filled with sedimentary rock almost everywhere, which would be expected if the earth were covered by water. The tides would be over 200' high twice a day which would scour the land scape.
This is just about the flood and the visible evidence in support of it which shows that the flood did happen.
Now for Israel, they were broken up and scattered all over the earth as the Bible said would happen.
Then after nearly 2000 years they become a nation again with there language, money, religion. Just as the Bible has stated.
and is said that the generation shall not pass before the completion of the prophecies of Revelations.
The metaphysical duality is the basis and the foundation of thought; hence, the basis and foundation of all scientific dualisms.
This, of course, is in accordance with the rules of the paradigm established by the consciousness of the 'thinker'. That is not necessarily the only frame of reference in terms of consciousness.
Astyanax: We can watch brains at work creating consciousness, and we see that it has a material basis after all.
Nonsense. This is merely... in accordance with the paradigm of the consciousness of the 'thinker'; that is, time going only in one direction.

Difficult to know where to start in responding to someone who is so woefully uninformed about what has been going on in physics, philosophy, psychology, the science of consciousness, etc. etc. etc. over the past 50 years or so.
It certainly is not my intention to impress you or anyone else. I am merely sharing my observations.
