Ponder this question

um, well, he didn't evolve from dust duh

No, but in Gen 2 doesn't your god take dust and breathe life into it? I had the similar thread about coming from rock- and of course then eve comes from the rib, which is rock.

rib rock??????


anyway I know that the Rock is a good actor and a good wrestler

godzman, sarcasm doesn't prove a point,it just draws more attention to you, and not always in a positive way. I find it funny how so many evolutionists have read their bible, know some of philisophy and theology and try hard to understand where creationists come from, but there is little reciprocity.

 

[pureone]

yes, go read the "from a rock" thread. bones are rock. find a geology page and they will list all the rocks that are similar to our bones. I did it. There are lots of references and sources.

 

[Brotha Ballew]

thats rocks similar to our bones, so tecknickly our bones are not rocks

 

[pureone]

So then your god didn't take dust and breathe life into it? which is it? Yes he did or no he didn't.
if yes, then man came from dust.
using that, then why is there still dust around?

I guess you are not a wrestling fan

becouse adam and eve sinned so they were curresd to have to give birth

 

[pureone]

technically, yes they are. they are made of minerals. minerals form rocks. when bones are fossilized, "harder" minerals replace "softer" ones. Again, do some research as well as try to argue. And as someone pointed out in my thread, are you sure there weren't any rocks in the dust or mud that your god used?

 

[Brotha Ballew]

i doubt there were any rocks or mud

 

[pureone]

becouse adam and eve sinned so they were curresd to have to give birth

And there are still "Monkeys" and humans because they came from a similar ancestor and continue to give birth...

 

[Brotha Ballew]

yes but still if evelution is still in process why dont we see any missing links

 

[Vance]

What would you expect to see, exactly?

 

[lucaspa]

becouse adam and eve sinned so they were curresd to have to give birth

Do why is there still dust? The argument is the same as the opening post.

Genesis 2 says Adam (first man) was made from dust. So why is there still dust? Answer that and you know why, although humans and apes share a common ancestry, there are still apes.

 

[lucaspa]

You meain, why don't we see links? After all, we can't see "missing" links if they are missing, can we? Darwin addressed this in Origin. Haven't you read it?

1. The intermediate forms die out because they can't compete with the later forms. Thus we get the appearance of "missing" links.

2. We do see links. Both in living organisms and in th fossil record. Ever hear of ring species? Links connecting two separate species. In the fossil record we have a series of transitional individuals linking A. afranensis (not human) to H. sapiens (us and human). Would you like to see a partial list of these fossils I've put together?

sorry my computer disconnected me so i had to reconnect

 

[Brotha Ballew]

What would you expect to see, exactly?

half man half monkey

 

[Brotha Ballew]

what else would i see

 

[-Jae-]

Im no expert in biology by any means, but wouldnt have those half man half monkeys been cast into extinction by the more evolved "human" tribes?

Natural selection is a *****

 

[Vance]

half man half monkey

Well, as Lucaspa said, we wouldn't see that today, according to evolutionary teaching, but we have LOTS of those type hominids in the fossil record. These show a clear transitional process from early ape-like ancestors to h. Sapiens. Some of these do, indeed, have about half of their features being those which we only see in apes today and half which we only see in Man today.

Check out the recent issue of Scientific American covering the current state of the human evolution findings. It provides explanations of hominids which have a very striking mix of ape and human traits, exactly as evolution would expect to find. They are finding more all the time.
