I don't have enough posts to show you a link, but if you search google for "self replicating RNA" you should find the article I'm referring to.
Quote from it: "They have synthesized RNA enzymes that can replicate themselves indefinitely without the help of any proteins or other cellular components."
thanks, I'll look for that. I hope that it explains how these RNA could have been formed in the first place as well and how the protiens which interact with them would have formed when they had nothing to create them yet.

thanks, I found that one, I also found another good one about Abiogenesis. It makes perfect sense to me. Of course it hasn't shaken my faith in a supreme being which must have designed the nature of matter to work in such a way. In some ways the more you get to understand about the complexity of nature, the more awe you have for the designer of it.

Absolutely, special creation seems sloppy and un-ordered. While evolution is very structured, ordered and elegant. Much more of a mechanism I believe God would use even without all of the evidence in his creation for it.
No I don't believe He is human (as you and I). God made us in His own likeness. To me that means He gave us the ability to rationalize, grasp the concept of sin, know right from wrong, and the ability to sit down and read the Bible and either believe it is the Word of God or totally discredit it.
I have yet to come across another species which has the capabilities of doing such.
I also believe He came in the flesh as Jesus Christ. Now to say that Jesus was an ape that went around preaching the word of God, really?
Does God have all the junk DNA and vestigial structures we have?
I find it funny that people get insulted when people say we evolved from apes yet find it less insulting that God literally made us from dirt; silly.
Evolution has a lot of strong evidence to support it and even the old Hebrews knew that the Genesis tale was actually a metaphor for the creation of man and not exactly what happened.
Also the Bible makes references to the sun revolving around the Earth which is clearly not true. So here is the conclusion that a theist (so be it non-Christians) came to: evolution is true as is modern astronomy. We know that the Earth revolves around the sun contrary to what the Bible claims therefore the Bible is shown to be metaphor rather than literal truth. Evolution isn't a big problem and shouldn't get in the way of the belief in God. God created man in his spiritual image and not his physical image, therefore we can quite easily descend from the common ancester of both man and chimpanzee (they look so much a like anyway).
Amen!
