Poor Alex was not a Human, since he, like prehistoric people, did NOT descend from Adam, the common ancestor of all Humans. The flaw is found in the false ToE which obviously believes in magic since it teaches that Humans descended from the common ancestor of Apes. That's also WHY we call it a "Religion" since it has NO evidence to support it's "belief" in the magic of Evolism which CANNOT be repeated.
-_- it's literally a consequence of brain activity, Aman. If it weren't, strokes wouldn't result in impaired intelligence. Notice how damage to any other organ doesn't impact intelligence, but damage to the brain does. We can even measure learning, because as we learn, the brain changes shape. How well you remember a given thing is due to the type of connections neurons have with each other. The more effort and practice you put into remembering something, the more efficient the type of connection formed.Human intelligence is not physical but is like God's intelligence, which is also not physical. Can you tell us where to find this intelligence? Of course not and neither can today's science define the difference between Human and animal intelligence, BUT they know the limitations on animals is caused by their inability to reason.
-_- I don't view humans as lower than angels because I don't even believe angels exist. What are you even talking about?Mentally challenged Humans have a disorder either invisibly or physically but they are still Humans, who are destined to have dominion or rule Gen 1:28 over dogs, and EVERY other living creature, including Angels. 1Co 6:3 Godless Evolutionists teach that Humans are lower than Angels because we are nothing but evolved Apes. Their idea of the proper "pecking order" is in serious need of correction.
-_- I don't need a bible quote to know that Noah was a descendant of Adam.The relevance comes about when you study and notice that Noah was a direct descendant of Adam, the first Human. Noah INHERITED Adam's superior intelligence which is like God's. Gen 3:22
To an extent, yes. I think it is quite possible that life started on this planet multiple times, and that the very first thing that would have qualified as alive may not have been the same organism that gave rise to the shared lineage of animals, plants, etc. Could have easily died out and an organism that came from an independent lineage to the first living organism is the UCA.Just going by what others have told me about UCA being the beginning of ALL life on this Earth. Do you disagree?
Evolution doesn't produce innovations. People do. Agriculture is independent of evolution. Humans do not grow crops without being taught to, just like humans do not build cars without being taught to. Hunter gatherers do not have a lot of spare time to come up with innovations, which is why the invention of farming took so long.I go by what is written in Gen 4:17-22 which shows the advanced technology of Cain's descendants and the fact that Adam was a farmer and Cain built a city. Those are traits of modern Humans, WITHOUT the Millions of years of magical evolution claimed to produce these traits. You don't need evolution is you have enough intelligence.
-_- they didn't. Nowhere in the bible is it explicitly stated that the days mentioned in the Genesis creation story aren't literal days, you just know it wouldn't match reality if they were, so you act as if they aren't. But you very well know that the bible, by itself, doesn't imply that billions of years occurred. In fact, I bet that the word "billion" isn't even in the bible.Since the big bang was on the 3rd Day Gen 2:4 and the first Stars didn't light up until the 4th Day, Gen 1:16 we know that it was late on the 3rd Day before the big bang happened, since each of God's Days is some 4.5 Billion years in length in man's time. Can you explain HOW ancient men knew this?
They simply didn't. You know that not a single person will correctly conclude that the universe is billions of years old just by reading the bible. Basically put, if you need outside documents to make a conclusion, the bible itself doesn't imply or state it.and correctly wrote what it took today's scientists thousands of years to discover?
Not when going to heaven centers on belief, not behavior. More time equally gives chance to deconverting and converting, so longer or shorter lives has no impact on salvation.Since mankind is wicked and the longer we live, the more wicked we become as our sins mount up, Jesus/Lord God changed the length of time man lived on our Planet, as opposed to life on Adam's Earth. Cutting lifespans by almost 90% assures that more people will have a chance for Heaven.
Maybe, or maybe an asteroid will hit us with enough force to bring us to the brink. Lots of ways for life on this planet to be destroyed.In the end, mankind would totally destroy Humanity AND the present Earth, unless Jesus returns to save us. Mat 24:22 Such is the end of mankind's evil.
XD that's what we non-Christians call "biblical contradictions".
Except they don't. Oldest known city is Uruk, at about 6 thousand years old. Much later than you claim.I don't claim the Bible tells us everything. What I post is that the AGREEMENT of Scripture science and history is the best measure to follow. According to the History of the first Human farming, city building and every other trait of modern Humans (descendants of Adam) it happened 11k years ago in the mountains of Ararat exactly as God told us in Gen 8:4.
-_- you are neglecting artwork, which predates 11 thousand years ago. Who are you to define what LEARNED BEHAVIORS are "human" and which are "animal"? Also, history distinctly disagrees with you, and crops may have been grown well before that point. Also, portable houses, sir. People used those before confining themselves to buildings of stone.They lived like the animals they descended from for some 6 Million years after they diverged from Chimps. They lived like animals, never planted a crop, nor built a house, until the Ark arrived 11k years ago.
Innovations build upon prior innovations. That is, the more we invent, the faster new inventions will be generated. It's not rocket science. Also, just to be cheeky, I feel like mentioning that dogs went to space before humans did.Since then, the History of Human civilization has sent Humans to the moon and back IN less than 1% of the time since prehistoric people diverged from Chimps.
Only because Christianity is a topic of discussion so much on this site. Hardly a shock.Agreed. Maybe the Holy Spirit put in some of the superstitions of ancient men just to show their foolishness. Have you noticed that most of the disagreement between posters involves the superstitious views of ancient men who lived thousands of years before science?
-_- that structure I mentioned is not a cave. You know very well that the chances that the first house built would also be the one that stood the test of time is exceedingly unlikely.I call them Caves since Cavemen didn't build houses. Only Humans do.
Oh, so innocent, when they steal another chimp's infant out of grief and jealousy after their own has died. The group as a whole doesn't just ignore that either. But hey, would you say an 8 year old child has no grasp of morality? Because that's about as smart as non-human apes can get.Chimps are NOT Humans and can NEVER be since they are innocent, unlike Humans.
How chimps react to theft is not instinct, as different groups handle it differently.Instinct is indicated whereas Humans live by reasoning.
In actual science, there isn't any evidence for the biblical flood. Also, human origins are explained, just not in the same way you'd explain it, so you consider the explanation invalid. That makes your assertion that there is no explanation give exceedingly misleading.History disagrees with the false ToE since the ToE has NO idea where Humans had our origin. That is WHY they made up the incomplete ToE and forgot about the flood which totally destroyed Adam's Earth. ll Peter 3:3-7 explains.
-_- I need a measurable physical difference. If you have none to give, say nothing.I have God's Word for it and that Word AGREES with History and the scientific Fact that Humans have the DNA of prehistoric people AND the superior intelligence of Adam which is like God's. Gen 3:22
I see no way in which secluding the "correct religion" to a smaller area would increase the number of believers overall in the future. In fact, if every region had the same religion to begin with, it'd make it seem more obviously the "correct" religion and greatly reduce deconversion.Sure they would. It's similar to a white woman being taken by Indians in the old west...BUT the Lord knew it would produce more Humans which are available to fill His perfect 3rd Heaven, where we will live AFTER our Cosmos is burned. Until Heaven is filled, we will continue to live on the present 6th Day in the creation of the perfect Heaven. God Bless you
That Alex was an animal that wasn't human is what invalidates your claim that only the descendants of Adam have inherited the ability to speak.
Honesty, is it? I suppose you can be honestly mistaken. Darwin himself set out on his voyages as an orthodox Anglican, expecting to find various regions or centres of creation where species originated. What he discovered confounded that expectation. When his joint paper with Wallace on evolution was presented to the Linnean Society, and his book was published, the majority of scientists in the field were also orthodox Christians, bible believers. They were taken aback at first, but over time most were honest enough to acknowledge that the theory, supported by over 20 years of evidence collected by Darwin, was almost certainly correct. This was all before they had molecular genetics or a significant fossil record as independent corroborations.
Even many in the Church of England accepted it, and thought this was a significant advance in knowledge - revealing the elegance and simplicity of the operation of God's creation.
They accepted the theory as the best explanation for the available evidence, despite their previous beliefs. Now that's a real example of honesty.

Sadly, Alex is dead. But there's plenty of evidence of animals using symbolic language to communicate. Asking them to be able to post on this board is like expecting you to write a book on Shinto in Japanese using calligraphy.Amen, my post stands unless you can have Alex or ANY other animal post to this board. Only those who have descended from Adam have the superior intelligence it takes to be able to create, speak and post. Birds mimic what their owners have told them.
The theory derives from the simplest interpretation of the observed data, which is factual. It is what it is. It will only change if new data comes to light that indicates a change is necessary. It doesn't claim that apes magically turn into humans - humans are one of many species of ape, most of them extinct.Correct the part of the Theory which claims that Humans descended from Apes, or show us another Ape which has magically changed into a Human, with the superior intelligence of God. Gen 3:22 You cannot, since the ONLY way you can is to agree with what God told us happened when prehistoric people changed into Humans within ONE generation. Gen 10:8
Whatever floats your boat.Religion is the ENEMY of God's Truth. I am a Christian who has been born again Spiritually in Christ, thus I have NO religion. Religion is the 30k plus denominations which do NOT agree with Scripture, Science and History. Christianity does IF you have the proper interpretation of Genesis. Amen?
The evidence indicates, beyond reasonable doubt, that human did evolve from the common ancestor of apes.My disagreement is NOT with descent with modifications which Darwin taught. My disagreement is with the FALSE assumption that this means that Humans descended from Apes, which is currently being taught as Fact in elementary Schools. The sons of God (prehistoric people) did descend from the common ancestor of Apes and that knowledge should be changed in the ToE since they did NOT evolve into Humans.

Can anyone provide physical evidence of the first mammal that was born? What was the mother (species) and what was the father (species) Not interested in speculation, conjecture, beliefs, I am looking for something that can stand up to a challenge?
Up front, I do not believe anyone can provide such evidence but I have been wrong before and this may be one of those times, time will tell.

If you think that's wrong and you want to change it, I suggest you get out there and dig up some archaeological evidence to support your hypothesis, then you'll need to show how the molecular genetics research is mistaken. Good luck with that.
I think we should all bow down before Aman777, who alone is the Great and Wise One.
Christianity is a religion. You claim you are a Christian. Ergo, you believe in a religion.
No.Religion is man's attempt to know God.
Christianity is God in you.
Amen?
False, since that's Jesus. Read and study Genesis for a lifetime, like I have, and you too will be able to understand it. God Bless you
Religion is man's attempt to know God.
Christianity is God in you.
Amen?
I always have and NO evolutionist can refute it. All they can manage to do is accuse me of being uneducated or stupid. NONE of them can find ANY evidence which is not easily refuted by me. A good example is the following Map of the Fertile Crescent which shows the FIRST Human farming, city building and every other trait of modern Humans, began on our Earth, exactly where the Ark arrived.
Map: Fertile Cresent, 9000 to 4500 BCE
Oh, I do read it - but without going off into fantasy land, where I alone on Earth know what I am talking about, and all the many many scholars, who have studied Genesis for the last 2,000 years, have all got it completely wrong. But now, at last, conceited old me comes along to set everything to rights.
