If x would become non-x, then evolution would be disproven.
I have really benefitted from my conversations about this, so thanks both for your insults and pointing to "information" as to why you believe evolution is the standard as to how life got here.
It's fabulous to see the unique and wonderful qualities of the various forms of creation. And despite your assertions, the unique qualities of animals and flora did not just happen to happen. These qualities are beyond mankind's imagination (including Einstein's). Oh, and they are beyond the theory of evolution as propounded by also imagination because of similar dna. Soil and air have lots and lots of nutrients as well as microbes. Let's hear the astroid theory, shall we? Or how about some shot from outer space that electrified atoms in water or soil to put them together and then they grew (evolved) to gorillas and that unknown common ancestor, ok? Once again -- thanks to so many here for the insightful conversations. Much appreciated.
I read the article and I read the assertions and detailed comoplexities. As far as answers you ask of me, I believe that God is the initiator of life and the various forms we see. And that's about it for now. So ... have a good evening.
Virtually nothing at this point. Because when I look at the things around me, animal life, plant life, I no longer believe they just happened. But that there is a divine force backing their existence and formation.
Again -- when I look at animal life, even think about the soil, the sun and its effect on life on earth, no -- I no longer believe these things just happened. The proclamations about evolution no longer impress me, since I believe the reasoning is wrong. No one has seen one form categorically turn into another. In fact, the science itself does not ascertain that since the investigation of the fossils do not show evolution. What they show is age perhaps, and DNA.
What would you think if a god created life in its simplest form and has since let it evolve to be what it has become?
I understand the argument. It's almost like saying that there were never two gorillas, male and female. Yeah, well -- have a nice evening.
If I thought that, I'd have to say the Bible is not true. And while I know there are parts hard to understand in the Bible, I find it reasonably and logically more acceptable than the theory of evolution. That means that I put my faith, yes, faith, in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jesus as outlined in the holy scriptures. And whether people agree with me or not, I am convinced that the preparing of the heavens (including the sun's rays and effect on the earth) involves the making of life on the earth.
If you believe all humans descended from Adam and Eve.... Have you ever gave thought to the amount of incest that had to occur to populate the earth from just one male and one female?
You are speaking of differences of things like gorillas and chimpanzees? Again -- I wasn't there -- I see no proof of transfering or movement of DNA going from one distinct form to another -- and I really do think at this point that the Bible is true. Even though, yes, there are parts hard to understand or contestable. I still think and believe that the definite basics of the Bible are overwhelmingly correct. That is right. That includes the formation of the first man and woman, how they were made -- Sometimes I reason that there are no reasons NOT to believe it, despite people's opinions. Many times places mentioned in the Bible were doubted even by scholars, but later archaeology uncovered these places. For instance, the city of Bablylon was never rebuilt, just as the scriptures foretold. Even though I wasn't there. I have come to believe the Bible.
So you believe in magic, even though science can walk you through each step of the process and can show you examples.
You no longer believe these things because you don't understand the mechanisms involved; you don't understand why scientists believe in evolution, or how we know what we know.
At that time, it wasn't incest. They didn't have children before they sinned. And they were close to perfection, before their sin they did not HAVE to die. As the human population grew, yes, in time restrictions were given by God through Moses as to marrying close relatives. And we also kniow that now (that you mention it), children born of incest are often not in the greatest physical and mental situations.. But when the human population started, humans were closer to perfection, and lived longer. Later on God put restrictions on close marriages. Clearly the genetic composition of Adam and Eve changed once they did what God Almighty told them not to do. .
They sinned and were outcasted before they had kids by eating from then tree of knowledge. After they sinned they started having kids. Which after that means incest. Try again.
