ALTER2EGO -to- EVERYONE:
Most people dont realize there are two types of creationists.
1. Pure creationists believe everything resulted from God and that the different types of animals were created separately.
2. Evolutionist creationists aka theist evolutionists use God only briefly, to create the first living cell (or first animal, depending who one talks to), after which God mysteriously disappears from the picture.
Atheist evolutionists dont believe in the existence of God, period. They claim everything happened by itself--by accident aka spontaneously, and that from this accident, a single cell resulted. Then this cell supposedly multiplied--by accident--and eventually turned into an animal. (Some claim the cell turned into a sea creature of some kind and then made it to land and sprouted feet. Just use your imagination folks!) From this one single animal, all other animals evolved, they claim. But theres a serious problem with this theory. And not one single atheist evolutionist can bypass it: How could a cell come to life from non-living matter from the get-go?
In the 19th century, Louis Pasteur and other scientists proved by experiments that life can only result from previous life. This scientific evidence was a crippling blow to Charles Darwin whose evolution theory is based on abiogenesis--the belief that life resulted from non-life without the intervention of an intelligent, supernatural God.
Darwin, in a February 1, 1871, letter to his friend Joseph Dalton Hooker suggested that the original spark of life may have begun in a "warm little pond, with all sorts of ammonia and phosphoric salts, lights, heat, electricity, etc. present, so that a protein compound was chemically formed ready to undergo still more complex changes."
Darwin went on to explain in that same letter that "at the present day such matter would be instantly devoured or absorbed, which would not have been the case before living creatures were formed." In other words, Darwin excluded the Creator and proposed abiogenesis (nonliving matter coming to life by itself, without the intervention of an intelligent God.)
Although Darwin, out of fear of being ridiculed by his contemporaries, did not put this statement in his book Origin of Species, we know that abiogenesis thinking motivated what he wrote by what he said in that letter to Joseph Hooker. Darwin then attempted to kick the Creator to the curb in Origin of Species by saying the Creator merely created a single life form--and from that single life form, all animals and all other life forms (including plants) evolved, as follows. (Keep your eyes on the words in red.)
DARWIN'S THEORY IN 1859:
"Therefore I should infer from analogy that probably all the organic beings which have ever lived on this earth have descended from some one primordial form, into which life was first breathed."(Origin of Species, p. 484)
Unlike the hard core Atheist Evolutionists that completely dismiss the existence of an intelligent Designer/God, the theist evolutionists aka evolutionist creationists insert God right at the beginning--to eliminate the problem of how the first living cell came to life from non-living matter. Then according to them, this weak, ineffective god supposedly stepped aside and allowed everything to evolve into whatever it chose to evolve into--without any intelligent intervention from that point forward.
Below are a couple weblinks that explain the different types of creationists.
