Don't tell me what you think he said, give me the quote so we can see what he really said.Francis Collins believes that
This is a flame and a personal attack. I have no lack of education. In fact I have found in life that people are guilty of what they accuse others of. So be careful because you may find yourself exposing more than you want to expose.just because you may have a lack of education
It's a little late for that, chief.So be careful because you may find yourself exposing more than you want to expose.
On his website. He does not claim to have all the answers because ever answer creates 10 more questions. Also he has some questions he answers on belief net. As a Christian we have more answers then Scientists have apart from the Eternal Word of God. I have always said science and religion are like a left and right hand. We need both working together in symphony and in harmony.
"Well, as a scientist who's also a believer, the chance to uncover the incredible intricacies of God's creation is an occasion of worship. To be able to look, for the first time in human history, at all three billion letters of the human DNA--which I think of as God's language--it gives us just a tiny glimpse into the amazing creative power of his mind. Every discovery that we now make in science [is], for me, a chance to worship him in a broader sense, to appreciate just in a small bit the amazing grandeur of his creation. It also helps me appreciate though that as a scientist, there are limits to the kinds of questions that science can answer. And that's where I have to turn to God and seek his answers."

There were lots of people ON the earth. There were lots of males and lots of females. Adam and Eve was the first man and the first women. They were the first husband and the first wife. They were the first farmers and the beginning of Civilization. The list of firsts just goes on and on. To many firsts to list in a single post.
DNA tells us that Time magazine Eve had many daughters. Brian Sykes talks about 7 different daughters of Eve in Europe alone. The Eve in the Bible is one of those 7 daughters (19 world wide). She gave birth to the Hebrew people today. There actual genealogy is in the Bible. For example the Muslim people call Abraham their father and Hagar the maid of Sarah is their mother. The Hebrew people have Abraham for a father and Sarah for a mother. So they are the children of the same father but a different mother. Christians today are adopted into the family of God so they do not have the same DNA as the Muslims and the Hebrews.
I just ran the DNA on my son. He is 33% Asian, 48% European, 17% Polynesian & 2% middle east. I thought he had more middle east and less Asian but that did not turn out to be the case. None of this was a surprise because I have studied the written history of our family and the DNA just confirms what we know from written history.
This is exactly what happens with the Bible. The DNA confirms the Bible to be accurate and true. Even if man's myths and mistaken beliefs and traditional interpretations of the Bible are shattered. Jesus tells us in Mark 7:8 "You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.” He warns us in Mark 8:14 to "beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod". Clearly Mark was a good student and he listened to the teachings of the Master. People would be wise to beware of the traditions of man and the leaven of the Pharisees today. We need to take stumbling blocks and turn them into stepping stones. To many people continue to stumble and fall because they lack the wisdom, knowledge and understanding of God. Good that Matthew was listening when Jesus said: "Disregard them! They are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” Matthew 15:14
Perhaps people would do good to disregard the teaching of the blind that stumble around in the darkness. Blessed are those that have eyes to see and ears to hear the truth and they understand the teachings of Jesus as the disciples did.
But there were ones before that, as the article that I linked showed. Of course you may have been relying on an older article.I didn't say it was the one before Pangaea. I said Nuna was the first one, and that Pangaea wasn't the first one. In fact, if I recall correctly, Pangea was one of if not the last... for now.
It is not a flame since I did say "may". Your posts indicate that you do have such a lack, meanwhile your post about my supposed lack of education was much more of a flame than mine was.This is a flame and a personal attack. I have no lack of education. In fact I have found in life that people are guilty of what they accuse others of. So be careful because you may find yourself exposing more than you want to expose.

AV, you should not be flaming others, yet you have been doing that quite often of late. Why is that?It's a little late for that, chief.
By Francis Collins being wrong.
Sure.Consider for a moment that you might be wrong,
AV, you should not be flaming others, yet you have been doing that quite often of late. Why is that?
This doesn't make any sense as an English sentence.It was the SAME point in God The Trinity creating other animals Eternally.
You have NOT answered my question. Which animals were on the Ark that were not already present on this earth? Specifically. Lions but not tigers? Kangaroos but not possums?Gen 1:21 He loves the innocent animals He created. I answered your question but you didn't like my answer. His kinds are temporary but Their kinds are Eternal.
It isn't sad that AV occasionally gets one right. It's sad that he doesn't realize that he got it right using the science that he claims can "take a hike".Sadly AV was correct in his rebuttal. The air thins as one rises above sea level. Less air pushing down makes for lower air pressure. The flood would have raised sea level.
It is a fact that life changes (evolves) over time. The Theory of Evolution is the best evidenced explanation we currently have for that fact.You said evolution is a fact and this is only a half truth because by your own admition now you admit that evolution is a fact and a theory. You do not seem to want to argue against talk origins.
That's 120 million years after Pangaea broke up.Looks like you forgot to do a google search before making this claim. Scientists have acquired new data supporting the idea that the last ancestor shared by all living primates walked with the dinosaurs more than 80 million years ago. Have you heard of Darwin's theory of evolution and the theory of common ancestor?
New Study Supports Idea That Primates, Dinosaurs Coexisted
Ok so if primates do not go back to Pangaea then what did they evolve from. What common ancestor was alive back at the time of Pangaea?That's 120 million years after Pangaea broke up.
Whatever statement you want to make about what evolution is going to "evolve" and go through constant change and revision. Just like text books are constantly being revised. I looked once and the ONLY changed in a text book was one chapter in the book. A $200 book can turn into a $5 book because they revise one chapter. This is the sort of change we can expect from science.It is a fact that life changes (evolves) over time.
