Cost efficient is not the same a beneficial. Most of the food in America is processed and is harmful to your health.
Yes to the first, and I think the second is an exaggeration; neither is relevant - they're red-herrings - unless you have some specific example(s) in mind?

You the first person to falsify yourself. I do not write books on here, I just use shorthand and very brief posts. Then if people want to go into more detail as you seem to want to, then that is fine.

I see; we are to be your "google"?
Thank you but no, I decline that role.

The point is we have the weather we have because of the tilt of the earth in relation to the sun.
That's not what you said earlier:
The weather is caused by the fact that the Earth and the Moon are duel planets."

Good-day, God-Bless, and I Love You... but we shan't be talking again.

We have a little control over the weather as Christians when we pray.
Ah, got me there. I can understand books. I can tie my shoes. But I aint very good at praying for rain. That's quite a talent you have there.

I live in the Great Lakes Area, we do not need to pray for rain, we need to pray for it to not rain. At least long enough for our picnic or to do what we need to get done. Jesus in the Bible prayed to calm the storm.

Jesus in the Bible prayed to calm the storm.
Notice here, where waves are [correctly] attributed to the wind:

John 6:18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.

He walked on water also. But no one claims to be able to do that.
The event was at night during a storm, I would imagine visibility was not the best. Nevertheless ..... a submerged sandbar would provide that appearance.

joshua, what does this have to do with the claim that life and it's building blocks are too complicated to have evolved?
We were looking at the control we have over the elements or the basic building blocks of life. We call this mind over matter. In the micro and the macro world. Notice the bridge is not building itself.

And yet it still has absolutely nothing to do with the OP which concerns the claim that life and it's building blocks are way too complicated to have evolved.

That is the same thing as saying the bridge is to complicated to build itself. Just as the men are building the bridge, God created the Universe. Man is made in the Image of God.

A bridge is actually not that complicated. But at least we're getting somewhere. Now, do you actually have evidence at all, that is not a quote from the Bible, that cell was created and that it did not evolve?

Get with the program please. This thread is not about the origin of the universe. It is about life and its building blocks, and whether life can evolve into different forms.

Not all bridges were built by men. Here is one that was built by natural processes.
