How does the story of Adam and Eve compatible with science?

You misunderstood my response to the poster. I politely disagree with you.

No, I didn't misunderstand you, so maybe check your own wording as I only responded to what you actually wrote.

 

[Apostle John]

Ahh yes... That aptly describes all non Christians...

No, not all non-Christians that describes.

Genes are made purely of chemical elements from the periodic table, nothing else.

Not quite as they also contain energy within them that causes "bonding". Ever learn about "atomic theory"?

Is there a change in energy? Elements to molecules energy change?

Energy changes by its nature as it is never stationary. Obviously, you never studied "atomic theory".

I was being sarcastic. You said -

It will seem rude to non-Christian when they finally stop breathing and see only Christians enter heaven.

I asked if that thought brought you pleasure. You said -

Tbh, I will get pleasure to see those that live their life like there’s no accountability.

I guess maybe you just avoided the question. Your response implies that you will get pleasure to see "those that live their life like there's no accountability" miss out on heaven. But we agree, that doesnt describe all non Christians.

No, not all non-Christians that describes.

So, I guess you don't have to answer the original question I posed, I think I might have an answer already, given you dodged it.

 

[Apostle John]

That’s correct but why aren’t genes chemical molecules and not chemical reagents?

 

[ratiocinator]

How about being specific? What part of the process I described do you think is wrong and why?

Survival as the driving factor in organisms changing species growing in more complexity and intellect. Life had to begin before it could survive.

It really is getting quite funny how you endlessly run away from direct questions. Abiogenesis is a different question. Something you didn't ask about and I didn't cover. If you want to go there fine but first, how about you stop running scared and answer my question?

And he got it wrong by making it about the survival of organisms.

Are you wearing your sock puppets? You’ve blown it having a sensible debate. You know the Bible and that we Christians are instructed to avoid silly season. If your lonely why don’t you commune with fellow Richard Dawkins Award recipients, you have more in common with them and haven’t changed.

So many feelings.

Brave Apostle John runs away again in favour of an ad hom....

 

[Apostle John]

an ad hom

If your lonely why don’t you commune with fellow Richard Dawkins Award recipients

I wonder if these Richard Dawkins Award winners ever have a reunion with the great man himself, in the photos I’ve seen of them collecting the award they’re positively gushing.

Interesting. That is the first time that I have heard of that reward. But let's drop the personal attacks right now. Are you interested in learning how we know that we are the product of evolution? Or do you just want to keep claiming that your God is a liar?

 

[Subduction Zone]

That’s correct but why aren’t genes chemical molecules and not chemical reagents?

Genes are "chemical molecules". So are chemical reagents, but I do not think that genes qualify as those. Your question appears to be extremely pointless. Are you now even denying that genes exist?

 

[Subduction Zone]

Genes are not "chemicals".

Since DNA is a chemical and genes are just areas within a DNA strand I guess they could be arguably called "chemicals". But the question is to what purpose? Why use that term for genes since it does not aid in understanding.

 

[Apostle John]

I do see change in humans from Adam and Eve and change in other species but where has life come from?

 

[YoursTrue]

Then let me recommend you post it again. What's stopping you? I have not seen your "observable studies" post, so I would appreciate it if you reposted it.

Mutations do not "gain information" because what they do is to add variation to the gene pool. As I stated before, if genes change through mutation, there's no way to know in advance which organs it might affect and specifically how it might affect them. This is basic genetics. A brain that's affected could have serious problem with cognition, but it could also go the other way because specific mutations aren't predictable.

Under your concept, there's no way life on Earth would have advanced past being single-celled organisms, and yet there were no multi-celled organisms found that are more than 1 billion years b.p. How do you explain that with your supposed "observable studies"?

Mutations are observable as I posted when mentioning the fruit fly studies done at my old alma matter, and given enough time who knows what could possibly evolve out of them tens or hundreds of millions of years later?

So, please post your "observable studies" if you will.

Maybe humans could emerge from eons of evolving from fruitflies? @Apostle John

@Apostle John

Chemical structure of genes​

Genes are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), except in some viruses, which have genes consisting of a closely related compound called ribonucleic acid (RNA). A DNA molecule is composed of two chains of nucleotides that wind about each other to resemble a twisted ladder.

I have heard what humans have done to fruitflies and don’t think so.
