Or any of the many other books available, like Denis Lamoureux's I Love Jesus and I Accept Evolution.Maybe some of you should read "The Language of God" written by Frances Collins, the Director of the Human Genome Project and a Christian if you haven't already.
One that has never been found in the fossil records,
and Mankind is different than any other primate, as we were a direct creation of God!

It should have some relevance for someone who claims to be a believer of science. I wonder how many of those who've developed those scientific theories supporting evolution were either atheists or agnostics as was Darwin who once was a believer who apparently lost his faith when his daughter Annie got sick and died. It was after this that he published his book, "The Origin of Species".Irrelevant... Maybe for an unbeliever.
But, if someone claims to be a believer I Jesus Christ? His Word says God formed the body of Adam out of the elements of the earth. It also says that the Lord also formed the bodies of the land animals and birds out of the same elements of the earth. Not one from the other. If we came from a chimpanzee? God would have told us. He tells us how He disciplined Nebuchadnezzar and turned into a half animal and made him eat grass.
"You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals;
you will eat grass like the ox. Seven times will pass by for you until you
acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth
and gives them to anyone he wishes.”
Immediately what had been said about Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled.
He was driven away from people and ate grass like the ox. His body was
drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like the feathers of
an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird." Dan 4:32-33
So, why be shy then about telling us that man came from if we evolved from a chimp if it were so?
No way around it. To try to reason with someone who claims to be saved? Well.. that's easy to claim. Being a follower of Christ isn't always easy. Especially if the opinions of those heading for the Lake of Fire matter more to you than God's Word, because you want to avoid the shame of ridicule from the elitists intellectuals who dominate over weak minds with oppressive data that has been twisted to counter God's Word.
That's what it boils down to.
ALL life forms are earth are 90+ in common, and primate higher than that, as God used a common template for life forms!I don't need my grandfather's body to know that my cousin and I are related -- DNA does the trick just fine.

Genesis is an accurate viewpoint on the origin and the universe, and of life forms, as it asserts God created all!I have known scientists.... They have no problem with what the Bible teaches... because? They KNOW Jesus Christ is real and right now controlling history from His Throne in Heaven.
Jesus tests and lets people expose themselves, or to discover who they really are in Christ and want to be.
Its ridiculous. From my church one graduate from MIT wrote his thesis based upon what he was taught from the pulpit. Taught by a man who had one of the finest educations one could ask for. There is no excuse.
The Holy Spirit is everywhere and quick to guide each one of us to where we will find the Truth..... That is, if we do not grieve or quench the Spirit. Pride and the fear of ridicule of men is sin when it bends us to do the will of another who opposes God's Truth.. That is not to say, that some of the stands on creation by young earth creationists are not an embarrassment in how they deduct. You must seek and you will find. Genesis can be understood if one has the grace to exegete the Hebrew in depth and with great detail. Not everyone who professes to be an expert is.
Here is one scientist I can show you.. A scholar. ACOL - ABOUT THE AUTHOR
He wrote this work (among many) ... Without Form and Void - Chapter 1

So? I can still tell that you're related to your cousins, and I can tell that humans are related to chimpanzees.ALL life forms are earth are 90+ in common, and primate higher than that, as God used a common template for life forms!
Related to the same creator.So? I can still tell that you're related to your cousins, and I can tell that humans are related to chimpanzees.
His Word says God formed the body of Adam out of the elements of the earth. It also says that the Lord also formed the bodies of the land animals and birds out of the same elements of the earth.
So? I can still tell that you're related to your cousins, and I can tell that humans are related to chimpanzees.
Are chimpanzees related to apes?
Are chimpanzees related to orangutans?
Some try to say man acts more like bonobos.
How can you tell? And why did we escape the bananas and tree hanging?
Someone can claim a Harley Davidson is related to a car.
That is. If you simply looked at the isolated parts, one could begin to make that hypothesis.
Jesus and paul both treated the accounts in Genesis as being real historical accounts...Even though you accept that because you know Jesus Christ lives? How much of what is contained in the Hebrew text do we really know? Very few are able to teach it in depth, though many feel deeply about what they can know...or think they know. English translations are misleading at times and weak. Its why secularism has gained so much ground over the years.
Not by common ancestory, as Man came about by direct creation of God!So? I can still tell that you're related to your cousins, and I can tell that humans are related to chimpanzees.
Jesus and paul both treated the accounts in Genesis as being real historical accounts...
What makes you say that "God created the heavens and the earth"
and "God made Adam from the dust of the ground and breathed into him the breath of life" is not literal?
I know you're a believer Barbarian. What's your alternative explanation? Who created the heavens and the earth?
Nature? Nature is just another alternative for God that man has come up with.
And where did the first man come from?
You think that Adam evolved billions of years ago starting with an amoeba or some sea creature?
Or was he created just the way Genesis says he was
Take God out of the picture and evolution as an explanation for man and it becomes more plausible.
Was I saying anything other than that?Jesus and paul both treated the accounts in Genesis as being real historical accounts...
