Blasphemy!
There is a GOD!!! nuf said. Total proof. There's no way "nature" could have figured that one out on Her own. :mellow:
THANK YOU! Finally, someone ELSE who doesn't believe in evolution. Doesn't it make sense that there's an ORDERLY way to the way animals "work"? God came up with this stuff, not chance.
As my Medical Terminology professor told us one day, "I didn't used to believe in God until I got into the medical field and learned about the intricacies of the human body. All of the chemical reactions & balances that have to be in place just to make life possible could NOT be an accident. I totally believe in God now."
Um, Lucy absolutely is not a fraud. I have no idea where you got that idea, but it seems likely to me that you've got her confused with the "Piltdown Man" hoax.As my Medical Terminology professor told us one day, "I didn't used to believe in God until I got into the medical field and learned about the intricacies of the human body. All of the chemical reactions & balances that have to be in place just to make life possible could NOT be an accident. I totally believe in God now."
Creationists: Stick to your guns! There is no way I can look at any single animal in nature and say "Oh, yes, this is TOTALLY evolution!" :blink: (That, and I refuse to believe that we "evovled" from apes. Similarities? Yes, because we have a COMMON CREATOR.)
Evolutionists: Show me a missing link! Lucy was already proven a hoax some years ago, so don't even mention THAT one.
And, interestingly enough, 'adaptation' is NOT the same thing as 'evolution'...think about it.
That quote is actually taken from one of Richard Dawkins books, and it is taken out of context. If you read the entire passage you'd see that he is in no way shape or form refuting evolution. He is simply explaining the probability of finding other (lucky) earth-like planets in the universe (something like 1 in a billion billion). He is a very committed atheist, and he's been more than successful in changing the way people think about religion (including me).
I'm not going to over do this, because ten minutes on google would yield scientifically sound explanations to all the points raised by Midwestern Girl. I can only assume that anyone who's actually interested in learning about the history of our planet and our species will go find the answers for themselves. I can't really do anything about people who are willing to listen uncritically to charlatans who believe it is acceptable for Christians to tell lies for Jesus.
I really don't know. I don't know why this question always gets framed as "Darwin or Jesus. You can only chose one." But that's the way it always seems to break down, and it's not usually the scientists who are the ones to draw this line in the sand.
Dude, blasphemy is a direct offense toward God. And evolution is against God. Think about it. And I'm a traditional Catholic, so it's kind of sad to see the amount of evolutionists out there.Blasphemy!
How is evolution an offense toward God? You know that the Church's stance is that faith and scientific findings regarding human evolution are not in conflict, right?
