If they were, they wouldn't be the [human] authors of the Gospels, would they?Sorry, the authors of the Gospels were not illiterate.
If the inability to hybridize determines a 'kind', then there are a lot more kinds than the bible allows for - millions more.You can't hybridize humans with anything, so we are.. one kind.
I am not a non-flat earther because the Bible was refuted, I am a non-flat earther because the Bible is silent, and science says the Earth is round.Of course they are. They are easily refuted.. Just like those of a Flat Earther.
Of course, it's possible he may be right, but confidently asserting it as a fact without evidence or argument is not adequate. I suspect there is no such evidence and that he doesn't have the knowledge to argue his point.He may be somewhat right about single point mutations not being enough. Single point mutations are only one sort of mutation. Some genes are very critical and if there was only single point mutation evolution may not be possible.
Quite - that's why the rest of my post was about larger-scale chromosomal mutations.But there are other mutations that occur. One common one is gene duplication. An entire gene or even longer section of DNA can be copied and added to the genome. With a critical gene one version can do its job while the other can mutate and take on a new function.

Another pointless post.If they were, they wouldn't be the [human] authors of the Gospels, would they?
But it isn't. You just turn your cognitive dissonance up a notch when presented with Flat Earth verses.I am not a non-flat earther because the Bible was refuted, I am a non-flat earther because the Bible is silent, and science says the Earth is round.
If the Bible says the Earth is flat, even you would see the Earth is flat.
Jesus was only one part of the Trinity. Does Jesus need a human body?
These are the 'Physical & Life Sciences' forums; we are quite entitled to describe the science, whether it contradicts biblical descriptions or not. If you're not comfortable with science that you feel contradicts your beliefs, that's your problem.Do respect where you are posting, and don't make it your goal to make new Atheists out of Christians here.
No; you can insert God wherever you like - but it won't change the science.If you go to the extreme of "we all evolved naturally from single celled organisms" now you've crossed a line.
Because you are taking God out of the equation, on a Christian Board.
That's an interpretation that matches the 'technologically advanced aliens' hypothesis better than the God hypothesis. An omnipotent God wouldn't need any of that palaver.at best, you could say that Humans were specifically genetically engineered. Afterall, Eve was actually cloned from Adam. Genesis 2 actually involves Adam being put under anesthesia, and a flat bone (where most hematopoeisis takes place in adults) that contains one of the best sources of stem cells in an adult human body was surgically removed, and the wound was surgically healed.
Yeah, you can make that argument that humans were genetically engineered I think
Nevertheless, humans are apes - there are multiple independent lines of evidence that overwhelmingly indicate that they evolved from apes. This could only be non-contradictory if God had deliberately and specifically made all those lines of evidence consistent with humans evolving from apes; i.e. a deliberate deception.What you can't make without directly contradicting the bible, is saying mankind evolved from apes.
I'm not the one who "turns it up a notch" from literal to overliteral.You just turn your cognitive dissonance up a notch when presented with Flat Earth verses.
Perhaps that is merely a morality tale. The Bible even disagrees about the sins of the parents being passed down.To fulfill the requirements for us to be saved, yes. 1 man sinned, and so we all sin and we die. In order to fix that, 1 man had to live in perfect obedience, which is impossible for any person to do, and die in our place.
The only way to do this was for God to incarnate Himself in a human body, so that He could Himself fulfill the law, and die in our place.
Without God incarnating as a human, in a human body, we have no hope of redemption from sin.
Sorry, but YEC is already turning it up to eleven. And being KJV only believer appears to be one more notch.I'm not the one who "turns it up a notch" from literal to overliteral.
Again, your personal interpretation.He does though, because the promise was always to live amongst us.
Suit yourself.Sorry, but YEC is already turning it up to eleven. And being KJV only believer appears to be one more notch.

What you are talking about now is your personal interpretation of the Bible. It could be wrong.
The post was about extinction of species.
If your foot was an example of good design, it wouldn't be 'wonky'.
Just because there was no designer does not mean that life is an accident and even if that was correct life would still have value.
Why do you believe this? Has someone been telling you lies? You should not believe the lies that some Christians make about atheists.
I guess the Ford Pinto shows Henry Ford never existed then.In this thread somebody is explaining that God doesn't exist based on my crooked foot being poorly designed. So nobody has to lie about that.
That is a belief, no problem.Humans are the exception, because Humans have a specific creation and specific purpose.
Today humans are one species, but it was not always so. There were several human species and there is fossil evidence and dna evidence of interbreeding.You can't hybridize humans with anything, so we are.. one kind.
No one has suggested that humans species can interbreed with other ape species.Now if you want to have the Homo genus as a kind and there have been other Homo species? okay then, but they were other species of humans.
Not apes.
You're not going to be able to hybridize through sexual reproduction, any Homo with any Pan.
