I used some JavaScript code to make it snow in the background. It didn't just happen, I made it happen. It was deliberate and the result of my making a decision. The same is true with the universe. It didn't just happen. God made it all happen. Only a fool would claim that the universe came from a chaotic explosion, that just happened. Everything in life happens for a reason. This is because there is a God who does everything He does for a reason. He gave us His Laws for a reason. When men don't obey God, there is tragedy and heartbreak. This is the reason why America today is going to hell. The evil minds behind the New World Order are trashing America, and we are allowing them to do it by our woeful ignorance, love for sin and indifference.

One thing evolutionists are sure to one day discover—they were wrong! DNA is the silver bullet in evolution. Apart from Dr. Frankenstein tampering in a lab, God's laws of nature do not allow for interbreeding of species. A cat and a dog can never mate and reproduce. A horse and a tiger cannot mate and reproduce. Despite scientist's discovery that there's only a slight difference between the DNA of varying species, the difference was made permanent, distinct and deliberate by a divine Creator.

Evolution is false science, just as the Bible calls it in 1st Timothy 6:20. No wonder public school teachers have been banned from reading the Bible to students since 1962. The Bible exposes and destroys the fable of evolution.

Evolution has nothing to do with how the universe came into existence.

More of the creationist “Evolution = anything and everything that contradicts Scripture literalism!” bullshit.

I hate to toot my own horn, but there were a couple of times in my own coding career where I somehow managed to pull off something slightly more complicated and impressive than correctly copying and pasting something someone else wrote. Hell, just getting Git to play nice with Mercurial and neovim is a more illustrious accomplishment than that.

Closely related species can usually produce hybrids. While it’s possible for hybridization to drive evolution, it’s neither sufficient nor necessary, and probably not common either, as hybrids themselves can’t always reproduce.

Does anyone else find it kind of refreshing to see a good, old-fashioned creationist post, instead of various hate speech and anti-abortion screeds?

Yes. I was honestly surprised to find a DJS quote more refreshing and original than the usual FSTDT fare.

“Apart from Dr. Frankenstein tampering in a lab, God's laws of nature do not allow for interbreeding of species.”

Um, i don’t recall Frankenstein doing a fucking thing with any species except Man. He conquered death, not evolution, Davey.

And he’s fictional. So there’s no need to use a fictional example as an exception to the facts you’re trying to establish.

And if God’s law establishes species, can you please explain Ring Species for us?

I really don’t think you can, except by appealing to ‘God can do whatever He wants,’ which is just name-dropping tp duck any explanations.

And mules? can you explain how mules come into being if DNA is the silver bullet in (i assume you mean ‘against’) evolution?

...so Davey-boy thinks he's God.

Considering the judgementalism displayed for so long and in so many quotes here in FSTDT: to the extent that he thinks that Matthew 7:1 is something that only applies to those he points that Pharasaical finger at in his screeds, no change there, eh...?! [/Doug Piranha-levels of sarcasm]

JavaScript is actually a pretty easy language to learn and use (Notepad++ and Firefox are enough for most projects), and you’re utterly false about basic chemistry and biology, along with your understanding of evolution.

My thought exactly when I read it

God's laws of nature do not allow for interbreeding of species.

Ligers and mules, for example. Your argument is invalid.

One thing evolutionists are sure to one day discover—they were wrong! DNA is the silver bullet in evolution. Apart from Dr. Frankenstein tampering in a lab, God's laws of nature do not allow for interbreeding of species. A cat and a dog can never mate and reproduce.

what about Horse and Donkey (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mule ) and Lion and Tiger ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liger )

I really missed beating on creationists. They are such easy targets.

Just stating the obvious: the discovery of DNA was long after Darwin discovered that animals evolved and likely had a common origin. There already was a lot of evidence to support evolution and a fairly good understanding of its basic processes. It nevertheless was an awesome discovery that allowed to study new aspects of evolution. It confirmed it, permitted to learn much more about it and correct some mistakes. The Modern Synthesis was a revamped theory taking it in consideration. Basics like natural selection and descent with modification remained the best explanation. For other trails of evidence I recommend the Wikipedia "Evidence of common descent" article as a starting point.

Maybe a note since programming was mentioned. Genetic algorithms are a way to develop software components using efficiency-evaluation rules as well as code-altering rules such that with time a particular algorithm can be selected that meets a need with acceptable performance. This works in some problem domains, for the same reason biological evolution works. It is inspired from nature like many other inventions. As for your Javascript argument, it's a variant of the watchmaker analogy.

You can still believe that the universe and its laws have been created by a being, although finding out how that being came out into existence remains a challenge as well. Evolutionary creationists can still have faith while not needing to discard much of science and while understanding how Biblical traditions formed and that cultures have origin myths, so did the Hebrews of the day. Whenever you're trying to read the scriptures in a literal way, you even enter in conflict with the findings of scholars who study it as honestly as possible.
