[Replying to 'God will kill those who hate him, <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/cgi-bin/bible?language=english&passage=deuteronomy+7%3A10&version=NIV">Deuteronomy 7:10</a>'] "This is otherwise known as justice. I see nothing wrong with it.
Natural evidence cannot disprove the Bible's inspiration--that's silly.
The Bible does happen to be the most advanced moral code of it's time, whenever that time is. Pick a time and you can compare moral codes, and the Bible's is superior. For example, the Hammurabi creed of an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth is in the Old Testament, but for manslaughter, instead of killing the offender, he is allowed to live safely.
Evolution on the other hand says it just happened without any direction, 'Oh yeah,' natural forces! However, these natural forces don't spontaneously form more complex things.
Which was the most plausible explanation (that it came supernaturally, not necessarilly that it was Zeus) until someone found a natural explanation for lightning. No such explanation has been made for life.
... if there was not a god, the world must have created itself. If this is the case, there would have had to have been matter that was capable of making up stars, planets, asteroids, etc. The matter must have come from somewhere. Someone must have created it. Therefore, there must be a god who created the matter at the least, and more likely created all that we know.
And another theory that goes along with evolution is that all the platelets (continents) had to have been, at some time, together and now they have slowly drifted apart. Um, have you ever heard of a thing called dirt? Well, there's sure a lot of it under all these platelets. Infact, it goes all the way down to the bottom. Oh know! I just remembered, as you go deaper into the earth, it turns to rock! Hmm, now how could have all that rock and dirt get under those platelets if they were all together?
If we were really evolving into a higher and more inteligent creature, then why are so many kids failing, dropping out of, getting in trouble in, and getting kicked out of school? Because they are smarter and better than the rest? No, it is actually because we aren't evolving at all!
It is true that we as humans share 90% of our Genes with Apes... But it is also true that we share 50% of of our genes with bananas. I hope I'm not half banana. Also we share 100% of our genes with... Dirt! the exact substance god said he made us out of.
it is possible that the loch ness monster spotted many times was a dinosaur. Or that knights really did fight dragons that were actually dinosaurs.
Excuse me, what evidence are you talking about? There has not been even .0000000000000001 % of evidence supporting evolution (the one which says we all 'evolved' and the world happened by chance)!!!!!! And if you look at the facts every stinkin' piece of evidence 'evolutionists' use to support evolution is actually supporting creation!! And did you know that all the theories and proofs that scientists have put out in the world that say evolution is real, have been disprooven!
Have you dug up the entire earth? (I would assume not) Then how do you know that somewhere out there there aren't dino anbd horse fosils lying together. But, the only other thing would be that they lived in different habitats, or that they just didn't die together. But that doesn't bean they didn't live together, or that they didn't live in the same time period.
The dinos haven't died out as many think.
Now, I don't know why you want me to 'proove you wrong' when you haven't even established that you're right! But I will do my best to explain 'why we would expect a more 'highly evolved' organism to possess more chromosomes.' Okay, first of all, if we Evolution then we would expect that the most 'highly evolved' creature would have the most chromosomes. Right? Then it would be logical then to conclude that, if we are truely 'evolving' then some of us would be ferns, since we would get more complex the more we evolve.
Another problem is that one of the ideas behind macroevolution is competition, or survival of the fittest. Different animals in a species compete for food, and whoever is the fittist lives, creating a stronger species. However, many animals are part of a symbiotic relationship which is the opposite of competition. Also, many animals live together and hunt in packs.
His name is Dr. Kent Hovind. If you have something worth saying, say it. If you don't then please don't post.
The flood is the thing that fosilized those animals/whatever in the first place. Creationism is the only 'theory' that has withstood the test. Evolution, well..what else do I need to say?
The way Darwin and Lyell interpreted the [geologic] colunm was through the idea that 'the key is the present to the past.' It has been said before, history is doomed to repeat itself. And yes, it has time and time again. But if the present is the key to the past, then why do we have history books? Why are so many people interested in finding out what went on in past times if we can look at society today and find the answers?
Now [if evolution was true] shouldn't the carp be closest to the turtle, since the turtle is an amphibian? But it isn't, in fact, it is barely similar at all to the turtle.
And fosil dating is a worthless piece of junk that someone came up with. It uses circular reasoning for one. And two it doesn't take millions or even billions of years for them to form. I remember somewhere (I do remember it was very credible though) that someone's grandpa had died and they burried them. 15 years later the grandma died, but when the went to dig the grave, the ground was soaked with water from an underground river/spring. So, they dug the grandma's grave soemwhere else, but when they went back to get teh grandpa he had fosilized!
I have read a marvelous little book that explains how the enite Universe could have been made, in a mere six days, and still account for many things that evolution doesn't. For instance, the red shift. How do you explain the fact that it appears as everything in the universe is moving away from us?
I'm really not sure. But that doesn't knock out the flood just because of coral. I would think that it probably floated along somewhere, or did as it usually does when something knocks out a colony of it and just reproduces and reproduces.
I do believe that God created the world. And if you took the whole picture then you could see that there are still monkeys that die monkeys. And there that people don't turn into ferns. (Ferns have the highest chromosome structure, and if we were really "evolving" into the highest and most integigent(sp?) creatures on earth then we would eventually become ferns!)
