The human ear. Product of Intelligent Design or mindless evolution?

[AV1611VET]

Humans are multicellular organisms.
A mutation is a change in the DNA within an organism.
An organism is not a change in the DNA within an organism.

Again, from AI Overview:

Yes, humans are mutants, as everyone has genetic mutations. A mutant is an organism with a permanent change in its genes that makes it different from others of its type.

Are we mutants or not?

Are we mutants or not?

All individual humans are different from each other, so we are all "mutants" even inside our species. What victory do you think this term will grant you? We are mutants in any case, does not matter if your view is the YEC or TE or whatever.

 

[Zaha Torte]

How do physical ears stick to a spirit? And what is their function?

Why do you believe that God is only a spirit?

God condescends to our level when working with us for our salvation.

He has ears because He listens when Man speaks.

He has ears because His image is that of Man's and He came into our world like a Man to suffer all things from the beginning and make intercession for us.

I don't know exactly - but I would hope superpowers.

 

[trophy33]

Why do you believe that God is only a spirit?

Because the Bible says so. What would be the purpose of a human-like body for omnipresent God?

I am asking why do you think God has physical ears. Or hands or whatever.

Then I rest my case.

Post 109 please.

It absolutely does matter.

God created Adam sans mutations or copy errors.

 

[Zaha Torte]

Because the Bible says so.

No, it doesn't. I am sure you are going to rely on John 4:24 - but that does not claim that God is only a spirit.

What would be the purpose of a human-like body for omnipresent God?

The opposite is true - it is Man that was created in God's image. God is not in a human-like body - Man is in a God-like body.

I am asking why do you think God has physical ears. Or hands or whatever.

Because He does.

He uses His ears to hear us and His hands to lift us up.

You seem to have many weird views that are not supported by either biblical or natural theology.

God created Adam sans mutations or copy errors.

We are "mutants" no matter the Genesis story. Your speculative religious belief that Adam was created literally from dust, without previously existing body, without previous mutations, has nothing to do with the fact that today, your body is full of mutations, when compared to any other body.

"Do you deny you are a mutant or the result of copy errors?" You kind of caught yourself to your own trap.

 

[David Lamb]

God formed Man from the dust of the ground. He formed Man in His own image and likeness. Man looks like God. God looks like Man.

But God is a spiritual being. Man being created in the image of God does not refer to bodily appearance.

 

[David Lamb]

Sure does.

How can a spiritual being have physical ears? Certainly Jesus, Who is fully God and fully man, did after the incarnation, but God the Father does not.

 

[AV1611VET]

"Do you deny you are a mutant or the result of copy errors?" You kind of caught yourself to your own trap.

Here's the post that started it all:

Theistic evolutionists would -- (if you press them hard enough) -- have to admit that man is a "mutant, copy-error, made in the image & likeness of God).

Was Adam a mutant copy error, or wasn't he?

If you are a theistic evolutionist, you'd have to admit he was.

As for me being one, indeed I am.

I wasn't made like Adam was.

 

[essentialsaltes]

A copy-error is a mistake that occurs when DNA is copied during cell division.
A human is a multicellullar organism.
An organism is not a mistake during cell division.

 

[AV1611VET]

A copy-error is a mistake that occurs when DNA is copied during cell division.

There were no mistakes made when Adam was created.

He didn't even have baby teeth.

 

[Zaha Torte]

You seem to have many weird views that are not supported by either biblical or natural theology.

"The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry." (Psalm 34:15)

"For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil." (1 Peter 3:12)

"Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth." (James 5:4)

 

[Zaha Torte]

But God is a spiritual being. Man being created in the image of God does not refer to bodily appearance.

Man is also a spiritual being. God and His servants often refer to His parts - His face, eyes, ears, hands, back, etc.

 

[Zaha Torte]

How can a spiritual being have physical ears? Certainly Jesus, Who is fully God and fully man, did after the incarnation, but God the Father does not.

What do you base this on?

When the Lord Jesus Christ claimed that He does nothing of Himself - except what He has seen the Father do (John 5:19) - this refers to everything save taking up flesh?
