It's in our genetics, which is in our blood.
That's like saying the snowman in my yard produced the snow that's in my neighbor's yard.

Just because they look the same, that doesn't mean they're linked together by birth.

And yet, genetics does not lie. Humans are apes.

Actually the connections between man and ape, both genetically and physiologically, are pretty clear and conclusive.
I understand that.

But God didn't connect them.

How did whales get connected to land animals, when whales came first?

The answer is, they didn't; they were never connected in the first place.

If God created everything, then He created the connection between men and other apes.

Very simple logic.

No He did not.

You do not have a connector.

You have genes that look similar; but no connectors.

Why? Why couldn't God do it?
His creation shows that He did. Although then again, you do put a book at a higher level than God.

He could if He wanted to, but by "jumbling" the order of creation vis-à-vis the order of evolution, it makes creation stand out in these end times.

No, it's more like your choice. Not God's, but yours.

He could if He wanted to, but by "jumbling" the order of creation vis-à-vis the order of evolution, it makes creation stand out in these end times.

And the evidence of His own actual creation shows that. And 'end times'. Pfft. Read Matthew 24:36

Only on paper.

Again: people in glass houses should not throw stones, especially a person who's entire claims are solely based on paper and nothing else.

You like to think that, don't you?

Your own posts show you do. Also, was it or was it not you who said that if Jesus or God themselves came down and told you the Bible was wrong, you'd tell them to take a hike?

Fine.

Show me I'm wrong and give me the connectors I'm looking for.

And since you can't, then forget the connectors and use your own theory of evolution to explain to me how whales came BEFORE land animals.

And if you can't do that, do you really think I'm going to take your "it's your choice" remark with anything more than a grain of salt?

Whales didn't come before land animals. They evolved from land animals, in a chain of fossils and genetics that is easily researched, if you had the time, compunction or even the slightest care to look for yourself.

But you won't do any of that at all. So have your grain of salt. Preferably on some fries.

Why do you think that whales have finger and toe and hip bones? Could it be that they evolved from land animals? Could that be the connector?

No.

They are simply Pentadactyl limbs.

Nothing more.

Meaning God created whales with Pentadactyl limbs on Day Five, then land animals with Pentadactyl limbs on Day Six.

The answer is, they didn't; they were never connected in the first place.

Land animals date back to 375 million years ago, the first fully aquatic whales are about 40 million years old. Land animals *definitely* pre-date whales.

Only on paper.
Only on papers based on observable evidence and scientific research. It’s not like somebody decided to write the conclusions on paper because it looked nice.

Do you realize that the Bible is ‘only on paper’.

I most certainly do.

Now you know why It's called a "Testament."

Or is your Last Will & Testament on crêpe paper?
