Do creationists accept the evolution of plants?

feelings are not a valid way of defining a scientific idea. However, when I pull out a weed, I feel I am killing the weed. When I swat a mosquito, I feel I am killing the mosquito, and I'm glad she died. When I am sick, I gladly take antibiotics (as appropriate) and let those germs DIE BABY DIE!

And I just had a pork chop for supper tonight.

Feeling is apparently not scientific. But ultimately it is. Particularly when the majority of a population feel something the same way. It is very scientific and is, in fact, beyond being scientific.

The idea that the world is here for us to do as we see fit is a very irresponsible one...

It would be very responsible if we do it according to what the Bible says. The Bible is the supreme guide of environmental conservation.

If plants evolve, why are there still trees?
Are you...serious?


Also, can we all stop being snide to each other please? Thanks. :p

Anyhow, plants are indeed living things, they have genetic coding, which we can change, we observe them to mutate and change.

And above all else, they simply hit all the criteria of the definition.

So the world stayed flat until people figured out it was round?

I don't buy that at all. Once, only Copernicus believed that the rotation of the earth accounted for night and day. His idea was already scientific even though everybody else in the world thought the earth stayed still while the sun went around it.

Well, the Bible says we are to have dominion over the world, and that's what we've been doing, and we've got massive pollution, the stripping of natural resources and animals going extinct left right and center.

Pretty obvious that this part of the Bible at least was written by people who just wanted an excuse to go and treat the world however they wanted.

The Bible is absolutely right on that. It is beyond the imagination of any evolution theory.

The Bible also teaches some most critical ways on how to manage the use of the earth resources.

If people thought the earth is flat, that is because of science !! Before the break through of science, we thought flying or moon landing is not possible. These wrong ideas are scientific in nature.

Opinion of the majority is usually based on science, in particular, those traditional ones.

How does the magnesium get its way to the plants leaves for photosynthesis to occur? How does calcium get its way to our bones for a strong back bone to occur? How do the eyes produce the correct organic chemistry for the cornea to keep the eyes lubricated? Speaking of eyes... How is it that the retina is in perfect placement in relationship to the lens so it can see and focus images?

Atheism is merely arrogance. They develop these wild theories to keep the credit away from God and to their swelling mental ego.

Its called transpiration.

Via the vascular system.

Maybe you should take a course in developmental biology.

I'll take our "arrogance" over your complacent "Goddidit" complacency, that makes you feel special and warm and fuzzy inside, any day of the week.

I may have flamed here a tad... My apologies. As being Pentecostal I love feeling warm and fuzzy on the inside! In which is accompanied with a joy and great peace...

If E = mc2 then we can divide and conclude that...

Mass (m) = Energy (E/c2)

And there are three varieties...

Natural E/c2 - All mass is basically cooled plasma
Mental E/c2 - Our brains output is a result of E/c2
Spiritual E/c2 - E (motivation, warmth, love) / c2 (faith, hope, charity, joy)

A Pentecostal? It all makes sense now, you have been speaking in tongues when you post. That's why they don't make any sense.

Really. Please, show me these passages where the Bible teaches responsible use of natural resources.

Not even close. They were "conventional wisdom" back in the day.

Jesus calling out my God why have you forsaken me was because Jesus came as a man and was able to feel all the pain and suffering of what we would have felt in that situation. So if you can imagine which we can't that you are nailed to a cross and in pain after many hours you maybe hallucinating or delirious or feeling totally confused and abandoned. You are close to death and probably slipping in and out of conciousness.
