    [__ Science __ ] Making the Leap from Ape to Adam

    From TV shows to zoo signs, textbooks, and more, we often hear or read that human and chimp DNA is 98–99% the same, proving our shared ancestry. But is that true? Surprisingly, even the evolutionists would agree it’s false. In a telling article titled, “Relative Differences: The Myth of 1%,” the...

    [__ Science __ ] Death, Friend of Evolution

    Natural selection demonstrably tends to produce organisms that are more likely to survive long enough to reproduce. So it's one of the things God created to make our world work. Death was the enemy until Jesus defeated it for all time by His death and resurrection. So it has no hold us us...

    Scripture says there will be animals in heaven, so there is that.

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    You don't have to do that, Ken. You can just accept that YECs and other Christians are brothers and sisters in Christ, and their differences are not salvation issues, unless one makes an idol of one's own interpretation, and insists that good Christians must believe that interpretation.

    Because God never told us. He never told us that, either. Where do animals go after death, if they don't have the living soul God gave Adam and Eve and their descendants? He doesn't say.

    Same words God used for Adam.

    We actually have no idea one way or the other.

    Yes. Not everything that is true, is in scriptures.

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    Remember that we are all produced naturally and supernaturally. Our physical bodies are produced naturally, but our souls are given directly by God. Ecclesiastes 3:18 I said in my heart concerning the sons of men, that God would prove them, and shew them to be like beasts. 19 Therefore the...

    Genesis 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. In Hebrew, the words "nephesh" and "hayyah" are used, just as they are for the life given to...

    Only that he was made from the Earth as God says other animals were. The earth is natural, after all. God uses natural means for most everything in this world. Why not? That's what He created things for. All animals have souls. They don't have the immortal souls God gave to humans...

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    Yes. Our bodies are formed naturally, but God immediately gives a living soul to each of us supernaturally. Like Adam. My belief is that it happens at conception. It makes sense, but of course, no scientific data is available for such a thing. Because it's not something specifically...

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    Genetics shows how genes change over time, and has verified that genetic relatedness indicates common descent. We can verify this by checking organisms of known descent. It's like concluding that a certain person made the ascent on Half Dome four times, after watching him do it once, and...

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    Some Christians think Adam was poofed from the ground. More of them accept that he was the first human to be given a living soul. Why would it matter how God used nature to make his body? People who dither about this, are missing the whole point of Genesis. Orthodox Christians: To...

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    It is an observed phenomenon, there is a theory that explains it. Evolution is a change in allele frequency in a population over time. Or as Darwin put it, "descent with modification." That's evolution, and we see it going on constantly. Evolutionary theory explain why this tends to...

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    You have it backwards. That's what it does. God made it to do so. New kinds of animals evolve from time to time. Speciation is a fact. A species is a kind of animal. I know YE have invented their own definition of "kind", but since you can't even give us a testable definition of this new...

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    (Confuses evolution with cows popping out of the earth) If they did that would be contrary to God's way of creating things. Even knowledgeable YECs admit that the evidence shows that simple organisms were first brought forth from the Earth. Seems like you are. But perhaps your K2K theory...

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    Actually, God created nature to do exactly what it does. You have it backwards. That's what it does. God made it to do so. New kinds of animals evolve from time to time. Speciation is a fact. You're advocating deism, not Christianity. God didn't wind up the universe and walk away...

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    I don't. Genesis includes literal history, as well as allegory. It's not just Christians who understand this. Jewish theologians have always known this: In the Middle Ages, Saadia Gaon argued that a biblical passage should not be interpreted literally if that made a passage mean...

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    (About 70% of Americans are Christians) Which seems like "much of America." It is true that since YE creationism was invented by the SDAs, many Christians now wrongly think that YEC is an essential part of our faith. I think more Christians know what God said, than know what Darwin said...
