Evolution - is it possible?

But if God put us here in the first place... then it's kinda His fault to begin with.

Kinda like building a house, then setting loose a swarm of termites...

Should we be surprised at the eventual results?

*sigh*
someone's gotta do it

ATMOSPHERE: What a coincidence, how there happens to be a multi-layered atmosphere and plus an ozone around the earth, protecting us from the Suns harmful radiation, which contains the very substance (oxygen) our bodies require.

which came first, the oxygen or us? if someone designed us beforehand and threw us on this planet we'd be lucky to have everything we need. if we evolved around what the planet already had...

FOOD: Wow, the food we need to survive just happens to magically grow from the lifeless soil. Plain regular old dirt.
Insert seeds, and out pop our food. Oh and such a variety as well, fruits, vegetables, etc ! All just happen to have special acids, vitamins, and minerals the building blocks our bodies use to: develop, repair itself, process, etc.

i can tell you've never been to a farm.

As you read this, your body is doing about a thousand things. All to keep you ALIVE ! Acid is being released into your stomach to digest the food you ate earlier, to absorb all the vitamins, which are being broken down to chemicals and pumped by your heart to the various parts of your body. Sugar is being converted into energy, proteins are being deposited into your muscles. The oxygen your brain needs to operate is being taken from the air and transferred though your blood. wounds are healing, your immune system is cleaning away germs you came in contact with today, I could go on for days.

well, geez, i wonder why the body is doing all this to keep me ALIVE. maybe it's because i won't be DEAD. must have taken a real intelligent designer to remember his creations shouldn't go around dying every 3 seconds.

EARTH’S TILT \ TIME: Yes, and the earth just happens to be tilted at it’s axis at the very angle (23.5 degrees) we need so each hemisphere could have four distinct seasons. Quite necessary for timing harvesting and planting, and necessary for our sanity. Setting the stage for time. Time just happens to be moving forward, not backwards, not sideways, but forward. We are getting older, we all had a specific amount time on this earth (120 years). Christians had all these answers far before any clock, telescope, or calendar. All a coincidence as well huh ? Who’s then is ‘winding the dials of time’, rising the sun, setting the moon, setting everything in ‘motion’ Keyword – ‘motion’ The earth is spinning, not standing still !

1. ANY tilt will create the 4 seasoned effect on a planet. mars has it too and its tilt isn't 23.5
2. seasons aren't necessary for harvesting and planting. it's the other way around. we harvest because we don't want all our plants going down the crapper every winter. you do know people have some farms that are churning out food year round?
3. why yes, someone IS rising the sun

REPRODUCTION: So why did two sexes evolve ? Why not only one ? Why not three ? So we just happen to be exploded into existence ‘by mistake’ with both a man – and a woman - each carrying what the other needs to create a third, extending us to another generation. Sustaining life ! And our minds just happened to be (by chance) programmed with a critical need to unite with one another ? What of breast feeding – can you explain with your science how a mother’s breast milk begins to flow at the exact time the infant becomes hungry ?

life wouldn't last long if nobody reproduced now would it? reproduction is key in evolution. as for breast milk... you've never studied breast feeding and how it works, i can tell.

SUN \ TEMPERATURE: The sun by chance just happens to radiate a special energy we need for survival – recharging our bodies’ electrical system.

yes....

OCEAN: The ocean just happened to, by chance, contain just enough water as it did. At the precise temperature as not to freeze – or boil. Not overflowing as to cover the entire earth with water, or running completely dry as to deplete us of our fundamental life source.

blah. as you can see my contempt for the content of this post has left me utterly apathetic to the highest degree.

There is a HIGH probability God created the earth.

come to think of it, if evolution happened your family tree would have been eliminated several hundered generations ago. oh wait, mutations. forgot about that.

We're not capable of messing up the earth. On an outside possibility we could probably cause the extinction of our species, but not of all species on the planet.

we can change that!
