[_ Old Earth _] How well do you actually know The Theory of Evolution?

[Barbarian]

Evolution states that each animal evolved from some other kind of animal. Man evolved from apes, birds evolved from dinosaurs, mammals evolved from fish, etc, etc, etc.

Not quite, but closer than usual.

The phrase “after his kind” proves evolution wrong.

No, you're just assuming that He did it the way you want Him to have done it. Since we know He used nature to make living things, each according to its kind, it's no great stretch to accept that evolution is the way it happened.

God did not use the process of evolution to create His creatures. He spoke by the word of His mouth and a whale was created. He spoke by the word of His mouth and a monkey was created. He spoke and the crow was created.

That is your modification of scripture to make it more acceptable to you. Scripture says none of that. Even most creationists now admit the evolution of new species, genera, and families. If they retreat just a little farther, they'll have no differences at all with God on creation.

No modification of scriptures here..

Psalm 33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.

8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

Then man came along and did this to Jesus..

Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

So you're depending on your wisdom, instead of God's word.

He says that he created all living things through nature. Why not just let Him do it His way?

My wisdom?

Psalm 33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.

8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

I'm doing it his way what are you doing?

*edit: Jesus never said he created things through nature..

This thread is for creationists to propose their summation of the Theory of Evolution, and these responses will be open to correction and clarification.

I believe in Jesus.
He created everything.
I don't need to know anything else about it.
Unless you can show me it's a salvation issue.

Fortunately, there are people who have in interest in the details. If there weren't, we wouldn't be putting messages up here.

If there was any real interest, this thread wouldn't have been dead for the last year.
I brought it back to life to keep your mind occupied.
