Thank you. But please stay....You see, evolution is exacty science trying to explain away God by trying to understand the inconcievable nature of the created world. And nonbelief doesn't change truth. The archeological information I've quoted isn't from a website...I'll find the author when I get time.cb360 wrote:All right Vulcanman500. I think you're a good guy and I'm down with your intentions and I'm glad you've got this all figured out to your satisfaction. But please, do yourself a favor and stick to theology. I know you mean well, but you don't know the first thing about genetics. Of course dwarves can have a 'normal' child. There are different kinds of dwarfism and the genetic differences can be pretty complex. If anyone cares, dogs are canis familiaris and wolves are canis lupus and "gene", as in "genetics" is not spelled 'gean'. I'm not sure where we were going with the black and white people reproducing - that is pretty simple from a genetic standpoint. And god's plan about interspecies coupling resulting in a sterile mule? I don't know a lot about animal husbandry or livestock in general - but I'm pretty sure the answer is not in the bible and I'm certain a geneticist could tell you all the details.
OK. WTF does that mean? It doesn't mean anything at all! It's a complete and utter non-sequitur. I'm sure you know a lot about the bible... but you don't know anything about genetics. I mean really... less than nothing. It's negative knowledge.But notice that these "Adaptations" of the human race do not change humanity's gean sequence.
You are cool with your spirituality... why do you feel the need to even deal with this stuff? I have no faith. You have plenty of it. Faith is the absolute antithesis of science. I don't understand the need to reconcile the two.
I think I'm done here. My frustration level is getting high and I don't think I'm going to learn anything. I shouldn't have come in here. Have a nice discussion.
We deal with this subject matter because we are secure in our faith and understand that faith is required in what we believe. After all, evolutionary theaory is the new kid here relative to creation. Even polytheistic pagan religions believed in creation and worshiped the "gods" they believed were responsible for the different parts of it (sun, moon, fire, water, etc).
God is evident in creation itself, and that is easier to believe, by faith, than the concept of big bang, and primordial ooze. If we evolved from apes, why are there still apes? If natural selection (survival of the fittest) is the only possible way, how did man survive without the power to weight ratio of any other carnivores? I know, superior intellect, but why? You see, science can't prove evolution any more than I can prove creation, but there is more scientific evidence supporting creation than refuting it. Just study it, don't get offended. Don't "stick to" one possible theory just because you don't believe in almighty God. Or, just choose your path, as we have. There are only two choices. The path you choose has a consequence in the end of this life.
We aren't trying to sell Jesus, or defend him. He stands just fine on his own. We just follow him and try to pass on the good news of his death on the cross as the way to salvation through simple belief. That's all, no argument intended, no attempts to squash your thinking, no ill-will, or attempt to win. Just information and Gospel when the opportunity presents itself. The motorcycle community is largely neglected in the evangelism efforts of most religions, due to the sterotypical lifestyles of some. Chris and I are just trying to make sure this community gets a chance at salvation, just like starving people in Haiti.
Not that I expect that to happen or anything.)
