Arguing apologetics is actually against the rules here. I have been dinged before for doing so and will not risk it again for your amusement.

My original reply mistook science for evolution science
in the post I responded to. I have no problem with real
science.
What is real science, and why can't evolution be it?
Glad you asked.
It also goes back to the much maligned scientific method.
Depending who is teaching, it has four to six steps.
One rather simplistic example is:
1. Observe
2. Hypothesize
3. Prediction
4. Test the prediction
Science is a wheel that always goes back to
step one with new predictions and hypotheses.
Problem. Can you observe evolution in action?
Much as scientists would love to say yes; NO.
Can we observe the past, and what happened?
Again, NO. We may make certain inferences
about the past, but never with 100% certaintly.
Given the last statement, even if we could show
evolution on every scale today, there is no way to
prove it ever happened, or if it did, that it did so
in any particular way.
One major point of true science is falsiability. The
TOE today has morphed into a theory of everything.
In attempting to explain all, it can no longer be
falsified, because it changes to fit any anomoly.
Oort cloud, dark matter, dark energy, and most recent:
Iron, a magic bullet for saving the age of dinosaurs.
DNA killed evolution. Science can accept that. Those
who follow the religion of evolution never will.

Evolution though, is one link of a very random
chain of circumstances in your theories. None
of which have any conscious purpose or design.
That would be so sad and empty, if it were true.
What do you think is directing evolution? please try and stay within the realms of reality because evolution is based firmly in reality.Many, however, including myself, dispute the notion that evolution has no direction or purpose.
I am glad you asked. Yes indeed the solution was Calvary when Jesus sacrificed Himself for our sake. By His stripes we are healed.Oh, really? When did he ever release his discovery of his cure for smallpox?
You see the effect but the cause is still a mystery to you. At times even an enigma.Evolution can be and has been observed in many different ways. You may not understand how it was observed but that does not mean that it is not observed.

Isaiah 53:5
He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities;
The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed.
You see the effect but the cause is still a mystery to you. At times even an enigma.
Do you know the difference between "healed" and "cured"?Pardon?
Not a cure for smallpox that I can see. Try again.
Yes you are correct it is no longer a mystery for those who are IN CHRIST. Everything that God made known to Moses 3500 years ago has now in this day and age been given to the gentiles. Even for another 1,000 years from people will still be learning what Moses knew 3500 years ago.No, it's not a mystery, not at all. You do have to be prepared to understand though.
Does cured mean to be pickled? If we have a part in the resurrection then the resurrection power of God is already at work in us to prepare us for that day and that time.Do you know the difference between "healed" and "cured"?
We call that progressive sanctification.If we have a part in the resurrection then the resurrection power of God is already at work in us to prepare us for that day and that time.

"To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Col1:27)
I think that God is directing the process. I view evolution as the rise of the novel and unexpected. That means, evolution is the actualization of creative potentials. The creative potentials have to be somewhere. They cannot exist on their own, any more than imaginary ideas can exist without an imagination. Hence, I view God as the transcendental imagination that makes evolution possible.What do you think is directing evolution? please try and stay within the realms of reality because evolution is based firmly in reality.
The Bible stands on it's own authority.And you insult your own God by claiming that the Bible is "God's word".
The Bible stands on it's own authority.
"For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." Hebrews 4:12
1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.A man wrote that, not a god.
No, we understand the cause quite well.You see the effect but the cause is still a mystery to you. At times even an enigma.
