-_- 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.
Amen. i can always count on you to teach me something. Brain activity is invisible electric activity, thus not seen.
Heb 11:1
*** -_- I don't view humans as lower than angels because I don't even believe angels exist. What are you even talking about?
The pecking order in the creation is The Trinity, Jesus, Humankind, Angels and innocent animals. Godless evolution is wrong since it is ignorant of the pecking order. It falsely teaches our babies that they are nothing but animals.
*** -_- I don't need a bible quote to know that Noah was a descendant of Adam.
Noah's grandsons brought the Human intelligence of Adam to our Planet. IF this had NOT happened, we would still be Cavemen, today.
*** 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.
Amen, but where did UCA come from. According to God, He commanded that "
every living creature that moveth" be created and brought forth from Water. Gen 1:21 Since then, we have also learned that ALL life, including those which move and those which don't (grass, coral, trees etc) also came from Water. NO ancient man knew this scientific Fact discovered last year. It's proof of God.
**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.
Why don't evolutionists notice the dramatic change which has happened in less than 1% of the time since we diverged from Chimps? For 99% of the time, we lived as animals. In the past 1% of time, we have gone to the Moon and back BECAUSE of the change in intelligence, and scoffers don't seem to have noticed.
*** -_- 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.
Amen, but when you realize that TODAY is, the 6th Day, since the prophecy of Genesis 1:28-31 has NEVER happened in the
PAST, billions of years is required. We also know that the beginning of our Cosmos was on the 3rd Day Gen 2:4. Six minus three equals 3 Days/Ages in God's time and each Day is 3 DIVIDED into the 13.8 Billion years, in man's time. It's more than 4.5 Billion years, in man's time, for each of God's Days. God is not subject to the movement of the stars within our Cosmos since He is in the 3rd Heaven.
*** 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.
The penners didn't know ANY of the details of the Bible. ONLY the Christians of the last days before Jesus returns have the increased knowledge to understand Genesis or any other portion of the Bible. Daniel 12:4 God hid His Truth in the FUTURE discoveries of the Science of the last days. This assured that only by Faith, which is a Gift from God, can anyone be saved.
*** 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.
Sure it does. More people can inhabit the planet IF they have lifespans shorter than 900 years. If today's Humans lived that long, our planet couldn't feed the living people.
***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.
It's a promise and as sure of coming about as tomorrow.
***XD that's what we non-Christians call "biblical contradictions".
Those who see contradictions are announcing to the world that they don't believe God. If they did, they would study more and find out their mistakes in interpretation.
*** Except they don't. Oldest known city is Uruk, at about 6 thousand years old. Much later than you claim.
It's typical of cities in the area which took the name of previous cities. The name Erech/Uruk means "seat" like a county seat. It is the 2nd city made by Nimrod, the son of Noah's grandson Cush. The 1st city made by Nimrod was Babel, which was built in
Northern Mesopotamia. Bablylon, in
Southern Mesopotamia was named AFTER Babel and confuses many scholars.
***-_- 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.
I use Human behaviors as those defined on Adam's Earth. Adam was a farmer, and Cain was also a farmer
Gen 4:2 who built a city.
Gen 4:17 Cain descendants lived in tents and had cattle,
Gen 4:20 while some played harps and organs, and other had smelting, iron and brass.
Gen 4:22 Remember that all of this happened on Adam's Earth
BEFORE the Ark came to the present Earth. Since I support what I post with Scripture, it's easy to find support for my views. Artwork is not one of those listed.
***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.
Amen, but some never returned. Those poor old Russian dogs paid the ultimate price for science.
*** Only because Christianity is a topic of discussion so much on this site. Hardly a shock.
-_- 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.
Amen, and some "so called" scientists find a hole in the ground and seek grants to find out IF Caveman might have built the first house there 50k years ago. Just send the money and the "scientist" will take a few years to figure it out.
Aman:>>Sure they do and they also have the superior intelligence Adam was made with, even though Adam never took a step on our planet.
*** 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.
That's all because of sex. IF the same Ape could produce children with Humans, the offspring would inherit Adam's superior intelligence which is like God's, Gen 3:22 BUT sex between kinds (common ancestors) prevents it.
*** How chimps react to theft is not instinct, as different groups handle it differently.
Not in the Human community since we have Laws, in our Legal System, just as God taught us.
*** 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.
Correction: There is physical testable evidence at the bottom of Lake Van, Turkey. It's the bottom of Adam's solid firmament which protected Adam's Earth, for Billions of years, from the water into which Adam's firmament was placed. Genesis 1:6-8
*** -_- I need a measurable physical difference. If you have none to give, say nothing.
It would be easy if scientists would learn that His kind and Their kind is the reason for the thousands of times increase in the population of living Humans. Instead, they are stuck in the past by their faith in the false ToE.
***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.
Deconversion is a lie from the pits since Christians are those
IMHO who have been born again Spiritually.
Romans 8:9 It's the same as you claiming not to be a Human. You will always be a Human, no matter how much you think your are not. Born again Christians are born into the 3rd Heaven and Jesus will not fail to bring us home. God Bless you
