Good question. Very good question.
One that's been answered. Furthermore the answer gives very, very good evidence that we do have a common ancestor with chimps. Could you not be arsed to watch the video? It's only just over four minutes:
Appeal to consequences fallacy. Do you really think reality is under some sort of obligation to be how you'd like it to be?
I WAS one such teacher at one point. I held high positions in the church I belonged to. I’ve freed myself from such nonsense and it is truly liberating.
My neighbor was like that also. Leader of a youth group in a local church. Then he decided he was homosexual and left the church. He was always a good neighbor.
Once again, not everything in the Bible is easy to understand.
Most of it is trivial to understand, but just wrong.
It is a good question that has a very very good answer. In fact, the answer is conclusive that there was a common ancestor.Good question. Very good question.
That actually sounds nothing like my experience.
I'm sure it was not. But he is one who came to mind. I attended many churches, but was never inclined to join any of them. Although I respected Jesus I couldn't figure what did he do wrong that they nailed him to a cross.
You mean like the first thing that came up from abiogenesis?
Let me clarify that. When I said my faith supersedes what is considered as purported evidence of a theory, it means I do not accept evidence as proof or verification of a theory if it contradicts what the Bible says. Thank you.
Which makes me wonder. I don't know, you likely know more about the theory of evolution than I do, so this may seem like an elementary question, but did whatever the first organism was via abiogenesis, did it theoretically have genes?
While conjectures may be made, as far as I understand, humans and chimpanzees, gorillas, monkeys and the like in the so-called ape category are said to have an Unknown Common Ancestor. I hope hope hope you will not tell me the common ancestor is known. puleeze, I'm almost begging you not to tell me that. But if you do it's known for an absolute (and I mean absolute without wavering forever) certainty -- ok, sorry but the offering of the opinion down a few more notches of credibility in my opinion.
ok, thanks. I can't say whether your opinion is true or not, but my mind is made up right now based on reason. In other words, evolution as natural occurrence is simply and absolutely impossible. Starting from the beginning.
OK, I believe our discussion can be basically concluded because it seems from your comments that you are set to oppose anything in the Bible. I have a different viewpoint and I find scientific theories and statements to be open to revision often based on methodological changes and opinion as to data. So I am going to wish you a good evening, and thank for the discussion.
As far as you and obviously some others are concerned.
