Evolution vs. God ?

Huh?

dogs are canine and cats are not etc - twinc

You're turning this into a pissing contest and I don't want to play. My views on evolution will never change and it appears yours won't either.

tbh i truly have none. i post those merely as rebuts, i don't necessarily agree with them. but that doesn't mean that they don't contain some truth either.

how do you know? i wish i could be so sure.

i only meant to point out the ambiguity of even so simple a concept. From the link

I'm looking through eBay and seeing amazing quality fossils of ... short of it is is that fossils are very rare, but seemingly common in some cases...

That is about one of the stupidist statements I have ever heard.

then i suggest that you are not hearing what i meant, as you might surely agree that if it turns out Adam and Eve had navels just like everyone else and yet actually were formed of "the dust of the earth" as the Book says, and not quite like you imagine maybe, then you might be surprised, but i doubt it would cause you to lose faith.

Now, what might happen to one's faith when they understand that Jesus is not coming back next month to save them literally, as countless other seekers have had to discover before them, different story

Foxes, cats and dog share a common ancestor

iow the "common ancestor" thing is disputed

The best lies are the ones that contain a mixture of truth.

"what i see right in front of me is what can only be happening across every timescale, and i don't get genetics so they don't count."

yes, if it is God versus evolution, A or notA, then that would be a logical conclusion, and i don't blame you for going with that. I'm comfortable staying with "i don't know."

 

[Job]

so I repeat again via google see [evolution vs god] - twinc

Via the bible see [God created man]

dogs and cats do not mate and cannot procreate - twinc

 

[Job]

I'm comfortable staying with "i don't know."

I'm not like that. I need to know. If it wasn't in such opposition to the Word of God, I probably wouldn't care one way or the other.

Hey...I already believed that was what you believed. I just couldn't believe you said it. So, no matter what, don't let the truth get in the way of your faith.

that doesn't really address the common ancestor thing tho

 

[bbyrd009]

so you say, but who can say they know the mind of God? You cannot prove that your interpretation of 'dust of the earth' is any better than mine. or someone else's. Whatever happens in nature must be considered of God, and if those 3 animals i've now forgotten--foxes and whatnot--did have a common ancestor, how do you address that?

i'd say be careful what you know ok, it is easy to find yourself in opposition to God without meaning to. You do not know. No one knows

 

[Job]

You do not know. No one knows

Speak for yourself.

we imagine that to have been like an instantaneous event, bada-bing, when we accept that God created the universe, everything known to us (currently <5%) in billions of years. Then alla sudden God like wiggles His Nose or whatever and makes Adam and Eve. Arg

ha ok say you know then

Are you still a creationist?

it reflects that we are not qualified to determine what truth is, as is made clear when you cannot state a single undisputed doctrine from Scripture
