  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Okay, I believe!

I Believe that all humans come from a common ancestory. That being Adam and Eve. Beyond that our common ancestory between species is dust. That being God created man and animals seperately out of the dust.

Don't agree or believe? Read Genesis 1 and this time before reading it, ask God to open your eyes to His truth.

God created every human being seperately out of the dust too.

Job 10:9 Remember that thou hast made me of clay; and wilt thou turn me to dust again?

Job 33:6 Behold, I am toward God as you are; I too was formed from a piece of clay.

Isaiah 64:8 Yet, O LORD, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou art our potter; we are all the work of thy hand.

We need God to open out eyes to the truth here too.

Actually, Pastor, Genesis says that aquatic animals and birds were formed of water on day five.
I pray that God would open your eyes to this truth. :crossrc:

Recent studies of DNA and mtDNA from a piece of Neanderthal dated at more than 27,000 years show a similarity of up to 99.8%. Some scientists look at this evidence and conclude that the human line and the Neanderthal line did NOT interbreed, while other scientists conclude that they did interbreed. Which view of the evidence is science and which view is religion?

My take is that both are science and one is wrong.

Sorry let me clarify. I should have said land animals. I did not think of birds or aquatic animals. But good point.

BTW, I suggest you do a Bible word study on authority. In addition read John Bevere's "Under Cover". It is my prayer that you will see what God says on this subject. :prayer:

According the Bible, we can cure leprosy by killing birds and sprinkling blood. I wish all non-believers and their science would read the Bible and ask God to open their eyes...

I've read Under Cover, and it's generally a good book, even if it stretches out the story of Adam and Eve a little to draw maybe too much of a lesson from it in terms of authority. I learned quite a bit from it. But I don't see why anything in it would make me accept evolution any less.

Look again, from whence did the land animals come?

Who are what created them directly (according to scripture that is)?

The relevant verses:

And God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds--livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds." And it was so. And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
(Genesis 1:24-25 ESV)

Perhaps you are reading the wrong meaning into the verse at Genesis or perhaps you were misled by the rendering in the KJV. In his commentary, John J. Davis suggested that the KJV's rendering "might be misleading" (Paradise to Prison, p. 66). In his commentary, Henry Morris wrote: "The waters suddenly swarmed abundantly with swarming creatures (the waters did not 'bring forth' as mistranslated in the Authorized Version)" (p. 68). H. C. Leupold made the following statements in his commentary on Genesis: "Here it is not the waters that bring forth. A. V. is in error when it translates: 'Let the waters bring forth abundantly.' Luther did not make this mistake." (p. 78). About this verse, The Complete Biblical Library noted that God “did not say, ‘And the waters produced the moving creatures’” (I, p. 21). The 1917 English translation of the Hebrew text by Jews has the following rendering: "Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures." Davis offered this same rendering as a literal translation of the Hebrew (p. 66). "Let the waters teem with the teeming living creature" is the rendering of Young's Literal Translation. The Newberry Study Bible [KJV] has this note at this verse: "teem with teeming living creatures" (p. 1).
