I do think things can change and modify over time...however I do no believe we evolve from a little amoba creature...
I do believe evolution occurs and has occurred in different life forms. I'm still not convinced humans came from apes, but animals and other matter clearly have evolved over time, usually to adapt to change so they can survive.
I've never heard of evolution, micro or macro, being defined by more success in mating. Please give an example.
Do you believe that the world's biologists are in on this hoax?They are willingly deceived, accepting scientific speculation above God's word.
I don't quite know how to respond to this, but I will try. Science... (ready for this?) is not just about Earth. Science, in fact talks about many, many things, not about Earth. NASA is all about exploration of other worlds. You are correct in two things, however, unknowns are hard to deal with as a species (just read my signature) and just because we think we are open minded, doesn't mean we are. Yet science today will be thought of primitive in the future. So what is wrong with your post? The fact that you ignore the huge gaping hole in your argument, science, will never stop being. Science is the explanations of observation. Science empowers us to understand, and allows us to strive to know more. Maybe science today will be looked on as primitive, maybe not, but science will always survive. Science is the building block of understanding, why then, do you seem to hate it?In a smaller chunk: Science today should not be thought of as the final mile. It will be considered primitive in the near future. It is a band-aid.
The universe is a far bigger place then just 'planet earth'.
Just because you believe yourself to be open minded, does not mean you actually are.
Dealing with what is already known, is easy. Dealing with the unknown, not so much.
What I have heard from you is you know a small part of what is known. But, have significant problems dealing with the unknown. Yet, you do not see your self this way. That does not mean your view of your self is correct.
Try and judge your self, by your own accomplishments, or lack thereof. Don't claim credit for other people's accomplishments. Which pundits of both science or religion tend to do.
micro evolution, yes.
macro evolution, no.
Evolution is a myth that robs from the glory and creativity of God .
Evolution is a figment.
In other words, science is based on faith too.
If you're speaking of macro evolution there will never be any proof of it; it would contradict God's word, and that's not going to happen.
evidence and examplesHow do you delineate between "micro" and "macro"?
Do you think that there is a qualitative difference between the two?
What mechanism do you suggest prevents "micro" from becoming "macro" over time?
evidence and examples
The hoax fully flowered.Humans didn't "come from apes" per se. We are apes.
I'm sorry, but this response is vague and unhelpful. Could you expand on it a bit? I did ask three separate questions.
I am curious if any Christians believe that evolution occurs (take careful note of the phrase, "evolution occurs" it means if it has happened or will happen, regardless of whether or not humans evolved from other primates). Please take the time to answer, thanks for any responses.
(For full disclosure I am atheist)
** Convenient definition of evolution for those unsure: Evolution is changes in a life form due to mutations in their genetic code, leading to the success or failure (or neither) of the mutation, leading to the mutated creature having more success mating, therefore passing on the improved gene or no success, leading to the gene not being passed on. Or to put it simply, changes in a life form over time. **
This is only an attempt to make the Bible look silly. I see nothing in scripture that should be interpreted as meaning the earth is flat.Are you saying it is impossible for anything to contradict gods word? If so, then you must be a flat earther as the bible describes a flat earth.
The hoax fully flowered.
micro is the change in traits in a species over time ie going from having a flat nose to a pointy nose or shorter people to taller people.
macro is going from one species to another species like a rhino turning into a bunny over time.
there has been no evidence or examples of the latter.
And I've seen this over and over again... charges of ignorance or lack of understanding when scientific speculation isn't accepted.Again, more vacuous verbiage instead of presenting or addressing any evidence. I've seen this pattern over and over with Creationists who are in over their head but they smugly "know" that evolution is a farce.
Then followed by more conjecture and inferring instead of accepting God's word Genesis 1:26-27. Science is a wonderful thing until it's used to usurp God's glory.Apes are collectively defined as any gill-less, organic RNA/DNA protein-based, metabolic, metazoic, nucleic, diploid, bilaterally-symmetrical, endothermic, digestive, tryploblast, opisthokont, deuterostome coelemate with a spinal chord and 12 cranial nerves connecting to a limbic system in an enlarged cerebral cortex with a reduced olfactory region inside a jawed-skull with specialized teeth including canines and premolars, forward-oriented fully-enclosed optical orbits, and a single temporal fenestra, -attached to a vertebrate hind-leg dominant tetrapoidal skeleton with a sacral pelvis, clavical, and wrist & ankle bones; and having lungs, tear ducts, body-wide hair follicles, lactal mammaries, opposable thumbs, and keratinized dermis with chitinous nails on all five digits on all four extremities, in addition to an embryonic development in amniotic fluid, leading to a placental birth and highly social lifestyle.

Have you considered that it could be describing God guiding an evolutionary process? Not that it is, or that "God" is real. But, the Bible shouldn't be used as a source as I have previously demonstrated.And I've seen this over and over again... charges of ignorance or lack of understanding when scientific speculation isn't accepted.
