Now we know about you but what about me?
People are always guilty of what they accuse others of.

In Matthew 7:1, Jesus says, “Judge not, that ye be not judged.” This statement encourages humility and self-awareness. When we judge others, we invite judgment upon ourselves. The standards we use to judge will be applied to us as well 1. Essentially, treat others with kindness and compassion, and you’ll receive the same treatment in return 2.

I'm not the one snipping people's comments to misquote them and be rude to them through doing so.

Try again.

Luke and Matthew both contain genealogies from Adam and Eve to Jesus. They kept them recorded in the temple and they were destoyed when they tore the temple down. I think it is fair to equate that with evolution. A lot of that is fable and a lot of that is endless disputes.
The Earth is showing us that there were at least 21 other human species. 8 of which walked the earth with our own species. Other than evolution, how does that fit into the narrative of the Biblical genealogy?

He is on my ignore list, the last straw was when he said my sister should burn in hell for being an atheist, he has called me a crook, he has gaslighted me, he attacks science which is an attack on me as a scientist.
There are two sides for every story.
Even on ig, more visible than ten normal people

I know how rude people on this forum are. I am surprised that AV puts up with it.

Thanks for the sentiment, Ace, but I get what I dish out. :/

Yup.

How about telling yours correctly?

Difficult question and people are going to want lots of scriptures so I will do the best I can. God created man (Adam) as the pinnacle of His creation.

Other than Geneses 1:1 Genesis 2:7 becomes very important. When we read about the Breath of Life. The other " 21 other human species." do not have the breath of life.

Genesis 2:7 Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.d

In Genesis 2:7, God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. This act transformed the lifeless form into a living being—a soul. Essentially, God used both the physical material (dust) and the spiritual essence (the breath of life) to create humanity. It’s a beautiful depiction of how God intimately crafted us, infusing both body and spirit to bring us to life12. Throughout our lives, we all carry this divine breath of life within us.


So the question is why on the sixth day did God say: "Let us make man in our image"?

Why does God want to have a relationship with us? God’s desire for a relationship with mankind is multifaceted—rooted in love, purpose, redemption, and companionship. According to the biblical account in Genesis, God created man (Adam) as the pinnacle of His creation. Man was given dominion over the animals and tasked with stewardship over the Earth. Animals were created to serve and complement humanity, providing companionship, sustenance, and assistance. This hierarchical relationship reflects God’s design and purpose for both humans and animals.

'm only two years behind you!
Ecclesias 9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. Let me try again. Where do the rest of the 21 known human species fit into the genealogy?

In scientific terms it means the signal to noise ratio is very low.
At NYU my friend invited me to her family ranch
in Wyoming. What experiences for a half pint city girl!

Anyway- a thing of interest was how the men talk.

Didn't say much but when they did, it was like
so much compressed into a few words, you could spend the next day unpacking it



What a contrast.

Yes Harvard is difficult to get in but they graduate 95%.
Who mentioned harvard?
As they have already mentioned most people who flunk out of engineering just transfer to another college in the university.
If by "they" you mean me, then yes, I did say that.
I took some classes that used a base 12 and I transfered to take an engineering class but I could not adjust to using a base 10. It was interesting though working with all the different shapes. When we think about all the containers we buy and how they hold an exact amount.
This makes no sense.

Who mentioned harvard?
I did when we were talking about how difficult it is to get into some universities. Actually my Biology teacher was a harvard graduate. I think he was looking for a real challenge and figured out we would be that challenge. Some people thrive off of the difficult. Just like I said my History teacher was a holocaust survivor. You would be amazed at the perspective of people that survive something like that. So when I talk about History and Science I can assure you I had the best of teachers to get me started with my studies.

Why do you feel the need to not even make the attempt to respond to a post in full?
I have a short attention span and I ignore long posts. So I tend to keep it short and simple as I can. I see no advantage to going on and on with a lot of jibber jabber nonsense. I do understand it would take a book to answer a lot of the questions on her.
