Do creationists accept the evolution of plants?

Now you really sound like a 19 years old.

Am I supposed to be insulted that you think I sound my age? In any case, no one in their right mind who doesn't consider plants alive would consider rocks alive.

Rock cells do grow.
Rock cells do split.
Rock cells even mutate.


Juve,

In all seriousness...

When somebody argues that
a. plant aren't life
b. rocks are life

...then that person instantly loses every shred of credibility.

You must understand that. I don't believe for a second that you actually hold the position that rocks are alive and that plants aren't. Not for a second. No matter how many times you repeat it here. I'm not buying it.

I can only assume that you are Poe. I have to assume that you are a Poe.

I can not for the life of me imagine a person smart enough to boot a pc and log into an internet forum, but can't understand why plants are alive but rocks aren't.

This is way beyond ridiculousness, irrationality, stupidity, what-have-you.
If you are for real, then..... I don't even want to think about that possibility.

Sorry, no... not buying it.

Could be a poe, but his shelf life is awful long for a poe.

I tend to think, this is how he really thinks, as crazy as that may be.

When some has dug themselves a deep enough hole, all they know is to, dig a little deeper.

Because plants evolve, now there are trees.
First there was T. Rex, now there are sparrows.

T. Rex is much larger than sparrows.

First there were T. Rees, now there are plants.

T. Rees were much larger than plants.

See the parallel?

Larger to smaller? get it?

No, first there were plants, then there were trees. Smaller to larger. So no, I don't get it.

The tree I'm referring to is an Oak.

Specifically a J. Oak.

Now do you get it?

You mean the Japanese Oak? That doesn't help. It's still an tree that came from a plant, which is smaller to bigger.

Really, the definition of life is a subjective matter and everyone posting is correct. Here are some additional thoughts pasted from Wikipedia and an answer site.

At a granular level, rocks are composed of grains of minerals, which, in turn, are homogeneous solids formed from a chemical compound that is arranged in an orderly manner.

Rock (geology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Atomics physics affirms that all matter is alive in an ovidian cosmos of perpetual metamorphosis, where Ovid was an ancient poet who indicated that all things are in a state of change and transformation. In which case as the matter that forms a rock is more stable than that in a human being and the form lasts longer, it could indeed be argued that a rock is more alive than a human. Simply the correct answer is if you want it to be.

Are rocks alive

You do agree though that someone cannot argue that plants aren't alive and rocks are, right?
