I don't claim superhuman powers but the Tao has wonders beyond belief.Have you ever used collective concentration to stop a tornado in its tracks?
That would be a personal choice which you are entitled to hold but if you tried to put it into a textbook I don't think you would sell many such textbooks outside of bible to schools. But as several scientists have learned, there is a lot of money to be made within particular Christian schools and circles.If I was an astrophysicist, I would focus my work in the field of wormholes, since I believe the Christian teaching that the universe has only been in existence for some 6000 years.

“Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.”

God left us His word that says what He did. Science should reflect that.If you think it is a non sequitur tell us how and why you think scientists should take Christianity teaching into consideration. The only religion that I can think of that science might fit in with is the Tao te ching.

Not all religious people serve the Christian god. If you want to serve your god give your best in the job you are being paid to do.God left us His word that says what He did. Science should reflect that.
Here's a simple question for you: In your opinion, should all science that contradicts the bible be terminated?God left us His word that says what He did. Science should reflect that.
Another non sequitur. Why do you keep doing that?Not all religious people serve the Christian god. If you want to serve your god give your best in the job you are being paid to do.
It should be corrected.Here's a simple question for you: In your opinion, should all science that contradicts the bible be terminated?

Science, when it’s understood correctly, does just that.If "His word" is accurate and relevant, then science will reflect it.
So you are saying that science as it is taught should be discontinued when it contradicts the bible. The galactic amount of information that has been accrued over milleniums in regard to geology, biology, astrology, oceanography, physics, chemistry, botany, zoology, archaeology, anthropology, microbiology, radiology, astrophysics, paleontology, genetics etc etc etc must be put to one side.It should be corrected.

I have no problem with being physically related to other animals. However, I can find no evidence for evolution. And I reject outright the notion that adaptation within a specie or is evolution. The difference with the human race is that we have a soul. We are responsible for our actions and we have a conscience.The primary objection to evolution from creationists seems to be centered on human evolution specifically. For some reason the fact of sharing hereditary ancestry with other species causes creationists no end of grief.
However, if we didn't share ancestry with other species, why are we made of all the same 'stuff' as other animals? Especially in regards to our closest relatives (other primates), we share the same body plan, organs, cell structure, majority of our genetic makeup and so on.
If it was really important that we be distinct from other animal species, why didn't God make us wholly unique? Why not give us a completely unique physical makeup and genetic structure?
Evolution at least can explain this via genetic inheritance. Independent creation... not so much.
And before you say, "God just reused common parts":
a) Why would God reuse common parts in a manner that is perfectly consistent with genetic inheritance and biological evolution?
b) Why would it matter if we consider ourselves physically "related" to animals if we're all made from the same stuff to begin with?
Symbiosis is just two creatures living side by side to the benefit of both. Any change to either that improves that mutual benefit enhances both and is selectively favored.Evolutionists have no answers for things like symbiosis,
Instincts are just a subset of genetically driven behaviors. When the behaviors are useful or beneficial they propagate. If they are detrimental the are selected against. The ones that survive thousands of generations are the ones we call instincts.instinct,
Of course we can emulate it. It's called the air travel industry. All kidding aside, we have plenty of navigational skills without technologies, we just use them in a different fashion. (We also have no evolutionary need to fly under our own power.)the fact that some birds are able to fly vast distances with inbuilt guidance systems that humans have trouble emulating.
Human languages are just learned sets of signals using basic grammatical (and likely instinctual) patterns. Other animals have signaling systems for communication including vocalizations. Ours are just the most sophisticated.The development of human languages defies evolution also.
Science doesn't do "why". "Why" implies intent and evolution isn't about intent.And the question of "why?" is unanswered.
That is a sexual display that communicates the male's health to choosy females looking to select a mate. Maintaining an intact display demonstrates the fitness and health of the male to avoid disease and predators.A male peacock is a ridiculous creature from an evolutionary viewpoint.
I counted 4.That's just one example.
The question is whether you think I am a Christian for being a scientist and no I am not Dr Who or a Gallifreyan.I have no idea if you are regenerated, if that’s the question. Judas spent years looking like a true Christian.
