A discussion of evolution between Sandy (dlo_3us2001) and another group member, prompted by Sandy posting an article entitled "The Dynamo Contradiction":

Earl says:

"I find the Pantheistic explanation very poetically pleasing."


Aren't the pantheists, the ones that follow a Goat God?

Here is what a believer named Kungfuzed says (about Pantheists):

"Willamena told me I should add Pantheism to my Religion title so I decided to look into it. I've really never heard of it. When I hear Pan I think of that little goat man dancing around with his pipes. I'd imagine Pantheism would be the worship of a little goat man. I think the word PanAtheism or Pannaturalism would be better. That way I can at least be a little goat man with no belief in God or just a natural little goat man."


Earl says:

"Through the study of genetics, we know today that corn's wild ancestor is a grass called teosinte. Teosinte doesn't look much like maize, especially when you compare its kernals to those of corn. But at the DNA level, the two are surprisingly alike. They have the same number of chromosomes and a remarkably similar arrangement of genes. In fact, teosinte can cross-breed with modern maize varieties to form maize-teosinte hybrids that can go on to reproduce naturally."


Earl, what does the DNA in corn and teosinte have to do with there being NO God?

Anything that has similar DNA, just means that God uses the same blueprint for many of his creation.

Don't living things all have eyes, noses, ears, legs,

Do you realize that Bananas and, dolphins, have some of the same DNA as humans?


Earl says:

"It is far from mathematically impossible that life began as a single cell organism. What would prevent that, mathematically speaking? Do you believe that god is incapable of making that so...that evolution is god's mechanism for populating the earth? Seems to me that saying it can not be is a vanity in and of itself. Isn't that a mortal sin?"


I never stated that evolution was God's mechanism for populating the earth. That is your theory, correct? So who is committing the sin of pride/vanity? I am believing by FAITH that God created the earth exactly as he stated he did. God is perfectly capable of making life from whatever way he chooses, but he CHOSE to create Adam and Eve in his image and in the way he created them. Everything that he did during the first 6 days for to prepare for his crowning creation, which was mankind. For if he had created man first, then there would have been no EARTH, AIR, or FOOD, TREES, SUN, WATER or ANIMALS to help Adam and Eve survive........ God does things in steps as well as we do. Why would God create something, then wait it out for billions of years and decide to allow the creation to create these others things? Why should the creation GET the glory for what God did in 6 days?

Imagine if the EYE had tried to evolve...it would of dried out before the eyelid came into play.

Here is an article you can read about the mathematical impossibility of evolution:
