Creationists: How does creation explain the existence of parasites?

[AV1611VET]

If God didn't create it (insofar as cellular death in biology) then how does it otherwise exist?

One way would be for God to bathe His creation in vital energy.

When the Fall occurred, He simply withdrew this source of energy, and telomeres started running down.

What is "vital energy"?

How would that work?

Have a good day.

If you want to spend the rest of your life wondering why on earth snails have cooties (or whatever it is you're wondering), that's your prerogative.

Just don't expect me to take you seriously -- or you'd get saved and ask God directly, when He comes back.

Why are you even posting in the C/E forum then? You never seem to want to actually discuss creation.

Creationism is my forté, and I have more than one thread where I take any questions on it.

Anything you want to know about it, just ask.

But be advised that I don't plan to stray outside of Genesis 1, or the conversation will descend into side issues that have nothing to do with creationism, per se.

I don't think we can discount Romans 1:20, which says that the evidence of God is in His creation. This would be a perfect example of an "ecosystem" that didn't evolve, but was created with obvious purpose.

This is either evidence that Rom. 1 is useless, Paul is useless, or god doesn't exist. THere isn't evidence for a god in nature ("creation") and certainly not ecosystems.

Planning to start soon then as you've been "outside gen 1" in the last hour:

Deuteronomy 29:29a The secret things belong unto the LORD our God:

This reminded me of a clip from Dr. Strangelove.

How would that work?

I doubt if any explanation will be forthcoming.

This makes me wonder why fluoridation isn't on his lists of the evils of science...

you don't get it ..... God didn't "put death" in the world .... man made the choice to sin and there are consequences to sin (transgression of God's law)

God has laws ... because without law there is lawlessness. When the law is kept perfectly (only Christ did this) they produce perfect love.

Death did not exist before sin .... God did not create death .... it was a choice. He created all His intelligent beings with choice.

It is about Love .... one can not MAKE someone love another .... choice has to be involved.

If God hadn't given choice .... True love would not exist .... we would be nothing more than a bunch of "puppets" .

and even so .... we are given eternal life through Jesus.

God is about life .... eternal life.

God didn't create death, but he created the consequence of sin which was....... death.

Do you ever stop and listen to your own arguments?

What does God have against those poor roses?

It's the weirdest thing to me that you think so lowly of beautiful Roses.

I prefer tulips to roses.

Serious question, lamberth:

Were you involved in Woodstock in any way?

Nope...I was drafted and doing war stuff.

CO?

 

[dlamberth]

CO?

Sorry, I don't understand the question.

I will share with you that today some would consider me an old hippie. I've got long hair a beard, all very gray and I'm most definitely a Dead Head. If I could have gone to Woodstock, I would have. Your question really wasn't that far off the mark.

I have doubts about that.

Do you believe that your god intended us to use the brains we were given?

I think that he was asking who your Commanding Officer was.

 

[AV1611VET]

Sorry, I don't understand the question.

Were you a conscious objector in the Army?

And for the record, I do salute and thank you for your service to this great country.

Of course I do.

But not against Him.
