Hoghead...your post and what you think are meaningless with out scriptural support. If your standing in a pulpit preaching your "views"...each menber of the congregation has the right to ask you to bibically support what you are preaching....Can you? So far all you have posted was opinion.Also, -57, you should read more carefully my earlier posts. I view mind and matter as one, not two separate realities. hence, all of matter has a soul or subjective side. Even atoms have tiny minds. Obviously, this includes animals. Everything in existence has some real degree of freedom and choice, however great or small it may be.
So what does 'Spirit breathed' have to do with evolution?I really can'y believe you actually asked that question.
Do animals have the spirit breathed into them like Adam had?
Can animals choose to disobey God?
...do you know what total depravity means?

God didn't breath his spirit into monkeys. Still don't know why you equated being able to think with having the breath of God's spiritWhen did God breath the spirit into the monkeys? You know, in a way different than what Genesis teaches.
Yes, it is evolutionary. The dust evolved into a human being. That's about as evolutionary as you can get.

We don't all have as much free time as some to be able to spend hours endless debating foolish controversies (Titus 3), quite inconveniently I have a wife, family, job which takes up a fair bit of my time. But I can understand why you are so eager to be better educated, what is it you're struggling with?You're kinda dancing around the issue. But, that's OK....you don't have an answer and need more time. I get it.

No need to be coy, what is it you're struggling with?And you're still dancing.
I struggle with so-called christians who feel evolutionism has trumped the Word of God..and change the Word of God forcing it to conform with evolutionary views......For instance in a previous post I asked you this, "The Calvinist says we are born dead in our sins and trespasses...People are already condemned.No need to be coy, what is it you're struggling with?
I don't agree, Papias. For example, I could easily be labeled a TE, though I would use another term, and I do not believe original sin is a biblical concept at all or makes any real sense in the first place. Rebellion against God is not necessarily wrong. God wants his or her creatures to think for themselves and make their own decisions. Hence, God respects the decisions of his or her creatures, just as a loving parent respects the decisions of his or her offsprings. So suppose the parent wants the offspring to move in such-and-such a direction, but the offspring wants to move in a different direction. In many cases, that may be OK and the parent should respect it. For example, my sister-in-law is very bright, did terrible in school, got a college scholarship and blew it, spending most of her time socializing. She got married and is happy being a housewife. I and members of her family wish she would have gotten through college, but we respect her decision not to go that way. Same with God and creation. Again, rebellion is not necessarily bad. Also, ne needs to remember that Adam and Eve sinned upward, toward gaining more knowledge.
