Creation & EvolutionForum for the discussion of this important topic. This forum is open to non-believers. There is a Christians-only forum in the Christians-only section too.
One of your most bizarre quotes yet. It is not opposed to God. Nature, as part of God's creation, is eagerly awaiting it's redemption from it's bondage to decay (Rom 8). You are conflating nature with the effect the fall had on nature.

Two minor subdivisions of the same utterly bizzare concept. What is to choose between them?
If you were interested in understanding Christian theology they might be of interest to you.

Yea never mind the fact that you already know that the ancestry of chimpanzees is represented by three teeth.
It is true that every chimpanzee skull dug up in Africa is immediately celebrated as one of our ancestors, there are no exceptions.
Little contradiction here? What was wrong with the first version you had, 'everytime and (sic) ape skull is dug up it's immediately classified as human"? Other than all of it being wrong, that is.

My Dad has a saying about preachers, he says the more you hear them thunder on about sin and denounce all them wrong doers, the more you know they are talking about themselves.
Seems to hold true for Republican Politicians, as well.
All this error correcting going on and not one of you have ever admitted that the statement that Chimpanzee and Human DNA is 99% the same is an error or a lie.
It really says a lot about people when they abandon all line of evidence to focus on the individual making the statement rather then considering the reason behind it.
It saddens me that evolutionists are breeding growing levels of ignorance in an attempt to bury real world evidence beneath an avalanche of controversy.
It is religious fanatics and ignoramuses that try to stir up controversies where none exist.
The honest thing to do would be to admit the weaknesses of Human/Chimpanzee common ancestry while expounding on its strengths.
The weakness is a lack of complete knowledge. The strengths are the anatomical, genomic, and biogeographic evidence.
They almost never do that on here, instead they encourage these shallow criticisms and semantic spam tactics.
What is the point other than to help you stroke your ego, protected as it is by a shield of invincible ignorance?
Mean? Maybe - ad hom? Not at all. The truth is not ad hominem. Example - It is a fact that despite the fact that it has been explained to you by at least two practicing geneticists and a molecular phylogeneticist (and who knows how many biologists) that indels are one-time events and it is ludicrous to insist that all of the nucleoitdes involved in an indel be added to the overall mutation rate that you still insist that they should be and use this foolish proposition as the basis for your "it is a lie to claim that humans and chimps are 98/99% identical" mantra.
That is invincible ignorance, and you've been displaying on that and other issues for over 5 years.
hmmm...I think I'll go out and enjoy nature rather then having an a priori assumption about it forced down my throat.
