My Gravolution Challenge

Looks like we're on the same page then.

Not really.

I'd venture to say I'm just as certain to my claim as you are to my claim.

Where did I posit any sort of certainty about your claim?

We're both certain.

Again, incorrect. (This was not a great post for you. 3 strikes)

Huh? You ask a question and when someone tells you the question makes no sense, you agree. You have no idea whether it makes sense or not, do you? This on top of your initial posts agreeing with one apsect of evolution and then in a subsequesnt post saying evolution never happened at all.

And you haven't explained why you think evolution somehow comes to a stop. What stops it?

evolution came to a stop when God destroyed the nephilim in the flood.

He should have made sure He included viruses. Bit of an oversight there.

A basic nature of God is to Create, which is why evolution has never stopped. God can not stop Creating.

Genesis 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

Looks to me, the only thing that is evolving with evolution is the concept, idea, theory of it.

Genesis 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

Which is completely counter to the nature of God as God can not stop creating any more than we can stop breathing.

Anything created ex nihilo recently?

Nope...but lots has been created through evolution through the years. It never stops, God can't stop creating. It's against His nature.

Methinks your point can take a hike then.

I'm having a really hard time having God take a hike, if you know what I mean.

I know what you mean.

Wherever He hikes to, He's still with us!

Is God so limited that He can only create ex nihilo? That's a sad and small God. It would be like a watchmaker who can only create a watch that tells time if He moves the hands every second.

We know that God can and does create ex materia.

By manipulating molecules to and fro, He can create such things as the AIDS virus, COVID virus, storms, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, rogue waves, water into wine, anything He wants.

However, lamberth made the point that God cannot stop creating; and that's just poor theology, as all God has to do is stop manipulating molecules to and fro and let nature take its course.

So why can't He use evolution?

But lamberth may be quite correct if evolution continues to create new things.

When you look back on your hike and you only see one set of footprints... ♥

Does this mean that all of this Creation is in the end something that God is dreaming up?

 

[AV1611VET]

So why can't He use evolution?

He could, but He chose not to.

Creator's choice.
