Evolution vs. God ?

And the funny thing is there all dogs.

imo this is a copout, they do not mate with each other, and display genetic differences, they are different "species" in the same family.

It has zero to do with evolution.

so you say, but it might have everything to do with it

You obviously have strong leanings toward evolution. I won't try to dissuade you.

If you want more "evidence" to bolster your belief's, do a search on the "Beefalo" and "Liger"

i just don't really get the argument against God using evolution as a perfectly viable vehicle for growth and change. Not sure if "micro" and "macro" evolution would make much difference there, but maybe.

i think the most resistance comes from believing/not believing that humans also evolve, i guess? Making humans evolve from apes? This is the major sticking point i guess, right?

hardly natural process at work there, what is the point in your opinion?

That's because you're not sure that God is who He says He is.

You held the "Coywolf" up as proof of evolution. That wasn't a natural process either but you seem to accept it as such.

 

[bbyrd009]

That's because you're not sure that God is who He says He is.

because i allow that God might use evolution, for all i know? Seems like a circular justification to me. I mean we are talking about theories here anyway, no one knows anything iow

it wasn't? they were also artificially inseminated? i don't think so, Job

 

[Job]

Yes.

 

[Job]

Well, you keep believing...

 

[bbyrd009]

Well, you keep believing...

i'm sorry? what does that even mean?

Doesn't evolution just mean 'change'?
I do not believe in the 'apes into people' joke, but I may believe in change and adapting. Why is that different from evolving?
I think Darwin just made up the next step. I am still amazed at the amount of intelligent people ( a professor friend of ours) can believe that a blob of jelly slithered out of a pond and in time "became" an animal....yet he cannot believe in God! That is a too far reach for him...( head shaking)
Did Penguins once fly? They have tiny wings..if not, what were they for..they don't seem to do them much good.
Or did God just make them that way?
I have no idea.

actually looks like he hated what was made of evolution i guess

the prob there for me is i do not see an "evo VERSUS God" scenario even going on, except in peoples' minds, so i'm afraid my eye would be too jaundiced to even allow Mr Comfort to explain himself after that. Might be great though, for all i know.

much of the problem could be a too literal grasp of "dust of the earth" even, who knows?

bad link i guess. Or at least 404 anyway

I wonder if genetic mutation is a result of the fall. Then the world would actually be in a state of devolution in the long term as our genes approach minimum viability.

In the short term natural selection is a valid concept. But to turn natural selection into a long term process through which all life comes to existance seems a premature conclusion.
