Theistic Evolutionist...

[Neogaia777]

It still doesn't change the fact that God could have "created" humanoid lifeforms, separate and in their own little pocket of the world, separate from what had evolved...

 

[Doveaman]

Christians not only believe God acts through nature. Christians also believe nature acts through God.

Antimetabole?

Nope.

God created and sustains nature, and He is also revealed through nature:

*God's invisible qualities — His eternal power and divine nature — are clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.* -- (Rom 1:20).

But that would be Neogaia777 Theory, and not Evolution Theory.

"Could have" is not evidence of "did".

 

[Neogaia777]

"Could have" is not evidence of "did".

No, but I don't think the possibility should or can be ruled out...

 

[PsychoSarah]

No, but I don't think the possibility should or can be ruled out...

I don't rule it out, I have been a seeker for 7 years. Why would I bother with that if I had ruled out deities as potentially existing, or having an impact on life in some regard?

 

[AV1611VET]

I don't rule it out, I have been a seeker for 7 years.

The Bible says seek and ye shall find.

Luke 11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

Jesus didn't say you "might find," He said "shall find."

 

[PsychoSarah]

The Bible says seek and ye shall find.

Luke 11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

Jesus didn't you "might find," He said "shall find."

You've said as much before, AV, as have others. I don't know why people feel the need to bring it up; it is not as if I have given any indication that I plan to stop seeking, regardless as to where it leads me.

Our original DNA that Adam had de-evolved and degenerated and after a while we probably interbred with those other humanoids around us after being kicked out of th garden... Oh, how I wish we had a sample of Adams DNA, or Christ's...

God Bless!

Why would this produce a genome that is 98% chimp?

 

[Neogaia777]

Why would this produce a genome that is 98% chimp?

Interbreeding, or God made us to be 98% chimp, cause that's what the humanoid race is, so why not make it that way? But I suspect Adam's DNA was different...

Why would God need to make us 98% chimp? Why would God even need to use DNA in humans?

 

[Neogaia777]

Why would God need to make us 98% chimp?

cause that's what a human being "is" 98% related to chimp, can you make a human being who is not 98% related to chimp, if so, wouldn't they look different and be different from human?

Why would God even need to use DNA in humans?

This question doesn't even make sense, DNA is the code for the building blocks of all life... That's like asking why are their atoms...

Why make another species that is 98% identical to chimps to begin with?

Also, you could change massive portions of the human genome and still have a species that looks like chimps. There is absolutely no reason that you have to use 98% of the same sequence to get the same result.

DNA doesn't have to be the code for the building blocks of life. Another molecule can be used to do that. There doesn't even have to be the same codon usage. An all powerful deity could use AGG to code for methionine if that deity wanted to, instead of the standard ATG used by all life.

Just because an all powerful could do things differently, does that mean he has to?
