Does Evolution conflict with the Bible?

1.) Earth is mostly composed of silicon compounds.
2.) We are carbon based lifeforms, and our bodies only contain trace amounts of silicon.
3.) Therefore we are not made from the dust of the earth.

You can't be serious. A flower comes from the dirt. A tree comes from the dirt. Things can be created from something that are not the same as that something.

Evolutionary biology is an applied science with real world application in various fields.

What's creationism's done for us lately?

Creation does everything for us. The world He made is why you are alive.

Please, no false claims about me. That is technically breaking the Ninth Commandment.

I have no "bluster". That sounds a lot more like you. I am willing to discuss the evidence. If you aren't you are the one with just "bluster".

I rest my case.

You have been lied to sunshine, and you have swallowed it wholesale.

Thanks stardust. You are golden.

I rest my case.

You have no case. You have only the bluster that you accuse others of.

They may have their roots in the earth, from which they draw nutrients and water, but the carbon they need comes from the atmosphere.

Scary. Not.

 

[Subduction Zone]

Creation does everything for us. The world He made is why you are alive.

The creation story in Genesis has been shown to be a myth.

Why are you so afraid of reality?

And it looks like biological evolution is part of that creation then.

They may have their roots in the earth, from which they draw nutrients and water, but the carbon they need comes from the atmosphere.

What has that to do with creation?

 

[Subduction Zone]

Scary. Not.

I am not trying to frighten anyone. I am merely trying to help.

Once again, you seem to be scared of reality. That is often the case with the weak of faith.

 

[lesliedellow]

What has that to do with creation?

It has to do with plants not being made from the dust of the earth.

 

[lesliedellow]

Thanks stardust. You are golden.

I know.

Maybe he was banned or something?

If you allow a corpse to completely decompose, what will it eventually turn into?

 

[Subduction Zone]

If you allow a corpse to completely decompose, what will it eventually turn into?

Mostly "air"and water. Mostly carbon dioxide; a gas, and water.

 

[lesliedellow]

If you allow a corpse to completely decompose, what will it eventually turn into?

By weight:
65% oxygen
18% carbon
9.5% hydrogen
3.2% nitrogen
1.5% calcium
1.0% phosphurus
0.4% potassium
0.3% sulphur
0.2% sodium
0.2% chlorine
0.1% magnesium

and various trace elements.

You know it all?

I know.

Try to keep the head from inflating.

Plants come from the dirt and man came from the dirt. You never know what might come from the earth when God is creating. I do mean you never know.
