    Are TEs Creationists?

    Well, I just don't see the difference between whether God created each part of his creation separately, or whether he created everything through a process largely based on what we theorize as evolution. It is still creation. I see why people hold the other view though. Certainly I wouldn't...

    Are TEs Creationists?

    I voted yes, because I think most theistic evolutionists see a creative purpose in evolution that was planned out by God to serve in God's glory. Whether God has planned every last motion of molecules is hard to determine. do they believe in guided evolution? or an evolution that is 100%...

    beneficial mutation

    You bring up a very good question. There is some good posted information here. Now in our society one would expect such mutation to occur almost species wide, but certainly geographic or societal isolation can cause a branching of evolution, probably not enough to fully distinguish species in...

    Where exactly is that?

    Baby Baby

    Aggressive sexuality facilitates more reproduction. Rape goes along the same lines as homosexuality as far as evolutionary purpose. homosexuality is the extreme end of appeal to the opposite sex that would under general conditions favor more reproduction. I'm not sure which is more common in...

    I'm sure you can logically see why rape has survived?

    Where did the water for the flood come from?

    Genesis 25:7 - Altogether Abraham lived a hundred and seventy-five years. I don't know, the NIV study bible seems to indicate that 120 years refers to the time between God's announcement of his discontentment with man and when he would flood the Earth.

    Gene frequency

    What does color have to do with gene frequency? Either way, a color is still a certain wavelength of electromagnetic radiation. That is how our eyes determine color. Also anything that is not at appropriate blackbody temperature does not emit visible light, what we see as the color of an...

    Dinosaurs are Animals

    This article should explain alot about the theory of evolution regarding sexual reproduction. It is the recombinant ability of chromosomes in DNA that allow for faster adaptation as opposed to only change through direct mutation as is seen in asexual reproduction. Keep in mind all genes have...

    Dating Methods (age of the earth)

    This link from the USGS shows more general information. Stuff you probably already know. It focuses on relative dating and radiometric dating of geologic structures. http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/geotime/contents.html

    Why was Tiktaalik where the scientists predicted it would be (II)

    What kind of evidence are you looking for? A crash course in plate tectonics? The reasons Wegner first proposed continental drift? Paleomagnetism? an Understanding of radioactive decay? I mean, do you believe earthquakes happen in California because parts of the Earth's crust are moving? I...

    Democary what a joke!

    It would be good for the White House to make a statement about the conflict. I hope the king of this nation carefully considers the steps needed to implement a healthy democracy, he seems modestly willing if under some international pressure. I don't think any troops should be necessary at all...

    reincarnation

    Reincarnation is such a natural belief. I believed in it as a kid, I wondered why I was born who I was, and it was hard to conceive non-existence. Under a natural pretence non-existence is never known, because to not exist is to be 100% unconscious, therefore you wouldn't be aware of your...

    What Created God

    Of course I threw in my disclaimer (maybe, maybe not) because I was assuming the nature of existence to be eternal. I think it makes sense that nothing can just come into existence. If that is the case though, one can still question the nature of existence, or not necessarily how we "came"...

    What Created God

    Well I won't posit God to your statement. But sure I think this relates well to the Tree in a Forest thread. We do not know everything that is reality, we are only given a glimpse, a blink of an eye to the eternal nature(maybe, maybe not) of existence in our lifetime. But can we reason what...
