    Jesus knows your body temperature? Is that reason to believe - if knowing apes points to Evolution?

    Hi there, So there is a standard of evidence issue, here - right? We all want something to believe, or to discount something, whatever the case may be - doesn't holding a consistent standard of evidence, encourage a better result, than pinning it on chance? I mean if you could evolve Jesus...

    Wait. So if I asked you, to have children, in the name of "my" Evolution - you couldn't do it?

    Hi there, So, this is just a simple fact about receiving: if you ask, you receive. So, if I ask you to have children in the name of "my" Evolution - you have to at least give me an answer why not? I mean, you would raise them and they would call you 'parent', but the exact meaning of that word...

    Promise me, that if Evolution doesn't work out, you will come back to considering "Creation"?

    Hi there, So just a thought for what our priorities, are, here. You have decided one way or the other, to give Evolution a try... you have decided that the weight of evidence favours species that change over time, one can only assume in a way that is deistic, if it is to prove better than the...

    Did Creation evolve, as an adaptation of adaptations?

    Hi there, So I had this simple insight (which I wanted to share with the Physical and Life Science forum, but moreso you - the believers - first) that evolution can explain "Creation". Creation, if you will, is the use of design, to differentiate the predicted but alternative "Evolutions", so...

    A sign of the end: there are different kinds of raptures

    Hi there, So this will be a new concept to you, at first, but after you have given it thought: it will give you broader spiritual horizons. A man can be raptured differently to a child; a child can be raptured differently to an animal. There are different orders and strengths and durations...

    Given no new selection pressures, the peak adaptation of a species need not provoke change

    Hi there, So it seems evident that there is a massive unknown, here: what if there are no "new" selection pressures? What if the driving force behind change, is answered? Would you say 'no, Evolution needs to invent selection pressures, to provoke itself with'? What would be the sense of that...

    So I have started questioning selection pressure, like can a s.p. pull one species into another?

    Hi, Yes, I have started questioning "selection pressure". I have two thoughts: one, that selection pressure is an over-arching force, that homogenizes everything that comes under its sway - this is a generalized selection pressure (like everything alive, needs to drink, sort of thing) - and the...

    Is There A Difference between Apostle and Disciple?

    Hello you, When Jesus Christ chose his disciples, who ended up being hand picked by Yeshua, the Apostles, where they the ones given an authority to perform miracles? (This is excludes the later chosen disciple - that was cast lots for joining in with the group.) Is there a difference between...

    If "Evolving", is adding to your most needed adaptations; eliminating one of your least needed is?

    Hi there, So simple question, really: The point being, you cannot simply be adapted for every possible eventuation - in principle, you need to start giving up adaptations, that are not suited to the entrance into a new paradigm? I guess, I finally worked out, what the choice, to Evolution...

    For observation to be of discreet changes in a species, observation itself must self-constrained

    Hi there, So something that will help me, even if it doesn't mean I am a star at translating human to post-human evolution, is that the nature of observation, is that it has to be educated. Observation has to be educated, because if it is observation at random, the observations made will never...

    I respect your imagination, your preference, your proclivity, your affinity, but...

    ... I fundamentally can't draw a connection in stages between micro and macro Evolution. Nowhere have you said, "being an insect, is part of the development, of becoming a human" - when, if Evolution were true, it would be the most natural inclusion of a land creature's development for higher...

    ELCA vs. UMC

    I've asked in both the Lutheran and Methodist forums about the differences between the Theology of the ELCA and Methodists. I understand that the movements of the churches come from different roots. I find one major difference is that the Methodist preach of becoming perfect on earth. The...

    I think I understand what God's Evolution is: you have to wait to Heaven, to see what it was

    Hi there, So it has been a long hard struggle, to reach a point where I am not contradicting myself about what I believe, as pertains to Evolution. I do not believe the Evolution of the Day is for mere mortals, like me - rather I believe that an Evolution is coming, One that we see by faith in...
