My God doesn't need evolution. HE has the power to speak things into existance.
If He used evolution, then why wouldn't He have just said so? Why does it say He created man in His own image?
To me, either you believe the Bible as the word of God, or you don't.
If you think its just a book of stories, then how can you believe any of it? I mean, why did Jesus have to come here to die for our sins if it's just a "neato" story book?
As far as daily evolution, micro evolution does happen. But it ONLY can go as far as what is already in the creature or plants DNA. NOTHING is ever added. You don't see a bird growing fins or gills, or a cow sprouting wings. Yet those kinds of things have to happen for evolution as Darwin says to be true.
Texas, as far as the moth that "changed colors", if you studied about that, here's something you might want to consider. When the trees were white, what color of moth would have stood out as easy prey for the local birds? Yup, the dark ones. The white ones blended in with the trees. And when the soot made the trees dark, what moth was NOW easy for the birds to pick out? Yup, the white ones.
God was smart enough to make sure of the moth's survival by having the color variations all along.
And add in the fact that all along both the light color and dark color ones were what? 100% MOTHS. They didn't evolve into some other thing.
Shawn, weight, height, whatever, we are still 100% HUMAN. Nothing has really changed, and can ONLY change as far as what is in our DNA already. People that live on islands that run out of food don't sprout wings and fly to where the food is. Or grow gills and fins to swim under water. Wouldn't those things be beneficial? Yet it isn't happening anywhere in the world.
And think about this.....evolution takes "millions of years". How did sea creatures survive when they were evolving into land animals? When their gills and fins evolved too far to work as fins and gills, yet not far enough to work as legs and lungs?
They would have died.
Or how about, how did male and female creatures evolve at the same exact time, allowing species to procreate?
I saw in a book where I believe it was called "puntuated evolution" was shown. They had a drawing of an aligator with one of it's eggs hatching out a bird! I mean, how do they think up that stuff? I know, because it's the only way they can make it all work is by making up crazy stuff and feeding it to young minds.
And how about the fossil known as "Lucy"? I say on TV where a "scientist" took what was actually found, and because it didn't fit his belief that "Lucy" was a human ancestor, remade her hip bones to look like she walked upright like a human. Also adding "human" feet, even though no foot bones were found. Museums all over the U.S. show this remade "Lucy" standing upright with human feet. Is this "science"? Fact is, Lucy was a species of ape as the pelvis bones showed. But it didn't fit evolution, so they changed it and tell people that was how it was.
They do that stuff all the time, and pass it off as "fact".
Check out the lobed finned fish known as the coelicanth. They found fossil remains of it along side dinosaur fossils. They said it was PROOF of evolution, that the fins were in the process of becoming legs. That is, until the 1930's, when a live one was caught in a fisherman's net. Since then, they found many of them and I have seen video of divers swimming with them.
Now.....did the evolutionists that bragged that they were proof of evolution admit it actually disproved evolution? Nope....of course not! They then said "Isn't it amazing that the coelicanth survived MILLIONS OF YEARS UNCHANGED???" Huh??? I thought it was proof of evolution? Even with this real proof in front of them, they could allow themselves the POSSIBILITY that evolution didn't happen.
I believe God's word, that HE created everything in 6 days. And I have never seen anything that even comes close to proving otherwise. So I guess I'll follow Him, and in faith, believe Him.
It's not emotional to me. If people want to think I'm nuts for believeing the Bible, it's OK with me. I do understand it. People today are bombarded daily by those that want to push evolution, so I KNOW it's hard to take any other stand. In public schools, you can't carry a Bible or try to say why you believe in creationism without being ridiculed today. You are taught that if you believe anything but evolution, you are ignorant.
I have looked at all the "proof" of evolution (the big kind, not the micro that is real) and none of it can stand up against any real scrutiny.
I can't "prove" to you that God exists or that He created everything, but I ask you to look at all the amazing things and try to think of how it came to be by blind chance. To me, it would take a whole lot more "faith" to believe in that.
