And what would you epect me to see -A whole lot of different procreation methods ?

 

[David Gould]

The thing that is interesting about "science" is that "it" says "It is right because we say it is right"
No proof
No observation
Just "well it happened this way because the only other way would be creation and because science cannot be religious it definately wasn't created."

If anybody can show me that that sort of thing is honest (or even scientific for that matter) then I will withdraw my remarks about "lies"

That sort of thing is no honest.

But science does not say that.

There is evidence. This evidence has been observed.

There is nothing complicated or mysterious about this.

So you believe that evolution is a proven fact and that the world therefore is millions of years old and therefore the Bible is incorrect
Is that where you are coming from?

Actually if that is what you believe then there is something mysterious- why dont we see evidence of transitionals?

Hi

A day for God are 1000's years for us, so we can't say that the six day of creation are to be take literally.

And it does not change anything for us that the earth are 6000 years old or 4.5 billions years old, Jesus are and will allway be The Christ.

Here's a good christian web page about the creation and the age of our planet;

lots of talk but still no transitionals

So what is your belief on the creation of the earth. As far as time is concerned.

 

[AdamAnderson21]

Okay, I see that it's young earth. How would you account for fossils?

No, I wont. I'm showing that your post can be turned against you.

Um, did you even read it? It lists dozens of them.

 

[Douglaangu v2.0]

No, I wont. I'm showing that your post can be turned against you.

And makes a whole lot more sense too.

Really So how did the sex organs evolve if there was no need for them?

No need for sex? You need to do your homework.

Sex evolved as a measure to increase civersity in immune systems, repair corrupted genes, and increase the chance of mutation occuring within offspring two-fold.

 

[In A Perfect World]

Nothing ever evolves because there is a "need" for it.

The sex organs evolved because organisms that developed them had a greater survival/reproduction rate than their relatives that didn't.

Sexual reproduction has turned out to be a very successful strategy, but there is no law saying that it had to develop.

Actually, asexual reproduction is generally quicker than sexual reproduction. Where bacteria face no threat, they need not mutate quick enough to require sexual reproduction, although some bacteria intereact and gene-swap. Bacteria may eventually evolve to need sex, but that's another day.

If bacteria were sentient beings they'd laugh at your lack of intellegence.

Read "The Red Queen: Sex and the Evolution of Human Nature" by Matt Ridley if you want some insight into the questions you ask.

I am interested in knowing exactly how old the world is scientifically and biblical. Please help!

The age of the earth is evidenced to be approximately 4.6 billion years.

The oldest rocks on earth are approximately 4 Ga in age, so that's the lower limit, but there must be the allowance for the period of earth's history when it was essentially molten during its accretion. A crust of actual rock would not have formed until differentiation and cooling would occur.

The earth was formed by the same materials as the rest of the solar system, and these components and remnants are certain types of meteorites. Dating these meteorites gives the age of the earth and solar system.

Combining that information with cooling models of the earth and information about when the degassing of the mantle would have stopped due to the development of the crust cutting off that outlet (e.g., Xe closure age of the earth) continues to confirm that age of 4.6 Ga.

There is no biblical basis for the age of the earth, however, because there is no such claim therein. Some Christians accept Bishop Ussher's calculations of the geneologies of the Bible under the blind assumption of literalism. However, we know that the 6 ka figure is not correct.

You will also note that the scientifically determined age of the earth is 4.6 Ga not 6 ka and actually has evidence backing it up whereas the creationists have nothing.
