The only interpretation that I made was that creationism is true, in which I know is true because the Lord brought himself into my life and has done wonders for me and because of the bible's accuracy.
And you can falsify it by claiming that for christianity to be true Genesis has to be literal.

Just look at the facts.
Trev, there is a difference between Creation and Creationism.

Creation is a theological statement that God created. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth". That's Creation.

Creationism is a particular how God created. It is a man-made scientific theory with several sources: Plato and Aristotle and their idea of unchanging species and eternal forms; a literal reading of Genesis 1-8, and the work of naturalists in the 1700s.

However, evolution is also a how God created!

So, when you say "Creation is truth" and you mean "God created by evolution" then you are stating truth. But if you mean creationism when you say "creation", then creationism is not the truth. God didn't create that way.

Hear me out on this, ok recently evelutionists have found faults in evelution. They have come to prove that it is wrong. They thought that they were right, well soon they finally found that they were wrong. Evelutionists have found proof that creationism is right. That we as people were created by some higher power. THey acually had to change the definition of evolution. It used to be the change over time from species, but now it is the change of one species every day. Which is going on every day, us grwing taller. So that is not evelution.

Also why are we going to Mars? Well the main reason why is ecause they can't find how life was created here on earth so they the want to see if the can find any thing there. They'll be looking for anything that they can use and twist into what they want.
So it's cool that evolution is slowly but surely being prooved wrong!!

I can see God, The Father, The Lord Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit up there in their place just busting the buttons of their shirsts out with love as you posted this. You are a warrior, and I would be honored to stand along side you in any battle. For us old warriors it is such a pleasure to see God pouring out His Spirit on the youth of our fellowhip. Keep on swinging The Sword Of The Spirit. You are in my prayers daily.

That is true. No one has ever claimed the theory of evolution had no faults in it.



They have come to prove that it is wrong. They thought that they were right, well soon they finally found that they were wrong.

That is not true. If someone told you that, either they were mis-informed or they were lying to you. I am charitable enough to believe they were mis-informed.

Very often scientists have lively debates about the details of evolution and how important different parts of the process are. For example, are mutations more important than natural selection or vice versa?

Very often, non-scientists listening in on these arguments get the impression that they are debating whether or not evolution happens. That is not the case. They are debating how evolution happens and when evolution happens and why evolution happens. But they are in agreement that evolution does happen. On that point they have no reason to believe they are wrong.



Evelutionists have found proof that creationism is right.

Definitely not true. In fact we find more and more reason to reject creationism.


That we as people were created by some higher power.

This is not possible. Scientists have no tools for studying God. Science cannot show that we were created and it cannot show that we were not created. What science has shown is that if we were created, then the method God used to create us is evolution.

Evolution is not a rejection of creation. It only rejects creationism.



THey acually had to change the definition of evolution. It used to be the change over time from species, but now it is the change of one species every day.

Where did you hear this? I think scientists would be surprised to hear the second definition. I think some one has given you erroneous information on this point.



Which is going on every day, us grwing taller. So that is not evelution.

You are right. Growing taller is not evolution. Individuals do not evolve. Species evolve. Growing taller would only be evolution if the average height of the species increased from one generation to the next. One person or one tree growing taller is not evolution.



Also why are we going to Mars? Well the main reason why is ecause they can't find how life was created here on earth so they the want to see if the can find any thing there.

We don't know yet that we cannot find how life came to be on earth. The research on that question will take some years yet to come to a conclusion. But we certainly want to find if life exists or ever did exist any place other than earth.


They'll be looking for anything that they can use and twist into what they want.

And who is "they"? Are you accusing people at NASA of misrepresenting the findings on Mars? If not, who are you accusing?

And whoever it is, what evidence do you have that the scientific data is being twisted?

So it's cool that evolution is slowly but surely being prooved wrong!!

But it is not being proved wrong. And why do you think it would be cool if it were?

I would suppose then that you also extend your awsome chaitableness to God That He was also misinformed when He wrote an exact account of the time involved in creation.

1. “Winged insects that walk ‘on all fours’ [or have 4 feet (not including hind hopping legs)] are not ‘clean’ (as described by the Law of Moses).
2. Back hopping legs are not considered feet .
3. Insects that walk ‘on all fours’, have wings, and have hind hopping legs have the characteristics of the grasshopper, cricket, and the locust.
Part of being an insect is having six legs. Those two legs could be highly modified, but having six legs is just one of those characteristics you can't get without. Sort of like mammals and fur.

Can you show me where this is, please? As I read the scientific journals that come out, every week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, Science, Nature and the rest, there are scientific papers supporting evolution.

Evelutionists have found proof that creationism is right.
Over 25 years before Darwin published Origin of the Species, creationists had already shown that creationism was wrong. The evidence that did that still exists. It hasn't gone away. The latest incarnation of creationism -- Intelligent Design -- accepts evolution. What they try to show is that God created, not that evolution is wrong.

That we as people were created by some higher power. THey acually had to change the definition of evolution. It used to be the change over time from species, but now it is the change of one species every day. Which is going on every day, us grwing taller. So that is not evelution.
The definition is still the same: the short form being "descent with modification". A longer form is at the end of this post. Where have you gotten your information?

Also why are we going to Mars? Well the main reason why is ecause they can't find how life was created here on earth so they the want to see if the can find any thing there.
We have found several ways how life could be created here. The Mars mission is NOT to find out how life was created, but to see if life arose somewhere else in the solar system.

Definition of evolution:

"Thus, evolution, in a broad sense is descent with modification, and often with diversification. Many kinds of systems are evolutionary ... In all such systems there are populations, or groups, of entities; there is variation in one or more characteristics among the members of the population; there is HEREDITARY SIMILARITY between parent and offspring entities; and over the course of generations there may be changes in the proportions of individuals with different characteristics within populations. This process consitutes descent with modification. Populations may become subdivided so that several populations are derived from a COMMON ANCESTRAL POPULATION. If different changes in the proportions of variant individuals transpire in te several populations,the populations DIVERGE, OR DIVERSIFY. ... All these properties of an evolutionary process pertain to populations of organisms, in which there is hereditary transmission of characteristics (based on genes, composed of DNA or, in a few cases, RNA), variation owing to mutation, and sorting of variation by several kinds of processes. Chief among these sorting processes are CHANCE (random variation in the survival or reproduction of different variants), and natural selection (consistent, nonrandom differences among variants in their rates of survival or reproduction). It is natural selection that causes adaptation -- improvement in function. Thus biological (or organic) evolution is change in the properties of populations of organisms , or groups of such populations, over the course of generations. ... Biological evolution may be slight or substantial; it embraces everything from slight changes in the proportions of different forms of a gene within a population, such as the alleles that determine the different human blood types, to the alterations that led from the earliest organisms to dinosaurs, bees, snapdragons, and humans." Douglas Futuyma, Evolutionary Biology, (1999) pg 4. All emphases in original.

That's what you see? I see infinite sadness for a lost lamb led astray by those who should know better. Childoffaith is also in my prayers, but hopefully he/she can be brought back before it is too late.
