  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

You do not think that God was not able to put enough variation into His creation so that they are able to adapt to their environment?
Or do you really think that God has to depend on random mutations for it all to work?
So in four copies of a chromosone, God managed to fit two hundred variations of a gene?

it seems pretty obvious that God used the ape template to create man.


It may seem obvious to you, but not so obvious to me.

Or maybe it was the other way around, God thought that the monkeys were cute and hairy enough, but needed more intellegence. So He created man.

The difference is that God did not ever tell the monkeys or the apes to subdue the earth and have dominion over it.

First you say its not true, and then you assert it?

Of course He knew the world would change in time. He changes the world, He changes us and He changes the destiny.



The problem bothered other evolutionists as well. A famous British paleontologist, Derek V. Ager, admits this embarrassing fact:
The point emerges that if we examine the fossil record in detail, whether at the level of orders or of species, we find – over and over again – not gradual evolution, but the sudden explosion of one group at the expense of another.

You mention an interesting point. However, even if there was inbreeding occuring, that is further evidence of a coexistance between two species. (I have run into some people that could provide evidence that Neanderthal is not extinct. :D )​
It is further evidence that they were not separate species. Neanderthals could have just been another race of humans, much like caucasians and asians now. Even the mitochondrial DNA differences between ancient humans and neanderthals were miniscule when compared to other species such as chimps. Chimps can vary more genetically in one family group than humans do worldwide.​

But nonetheless, mankind started around 30,000 years ago. A coexistance with neanderthal could contradict the book of Genesis.
It would contradict a LITERAL reading of Genesis, but not Genesis itself.​
