Isn't intelligent design beautiful?

Isn't intelligent design beautiful?

I would imagine the tree of life will be beautiful.

The River of Life
1Then he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb, 2in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him;…

I thought you were against intelligent design, as you said it was a false distortion of creationism.

 

[AV1611VET]

I thought you were against intelligent design, as you said it was a false distortion of creationism.

I am against intelligent design.

Scientists use intelligent design.

God uses creation events.

That tree in the OP, I assume, is intelligently designed.

So you were being sarcastic when you called it beautiful?

 

[AV1611VET]

So you were being sarcastic when you called it beautiful?

No ... not at all.

You forget that I believe that Satan has 9 muses that are in charge of influencing science and the art:

1. Calliope is the muse of epic poetry.
2. Clio is the muse of history.
3. Erato is the muse of love poetry.
4. Euterpe is the muse of music.
5. Melpomene is the muse of tragedy.
6. Polyhymnia is the muse of sacred poetry.
7. Terpsichore is the muse of dance.
8. Thalia is the muse of comedy.
9. Urania is the muse of astronomy.

And besides, if this tree is of God -- like the banana -- then Satan will make sure the credit goes anywhere but to God.

You're mixing Greek (pagan) mythology with Christianity now.

 

[AV1611VET]

You're mixing Greek (pagan) mythology with Christianity now.

In name only.

I don't know their real names, so I go with the Greek version for the sake of making the point.

(And it's not pagan -- it's satanic.)

Yah--well, he is not the only one with influence. 1 God trumps 9 muses.


(Gen 4:20) And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
(Gen 4:21) And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
(Gen 4:22) And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
(Exo 35:31) And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;
(Exo 35:32) And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
(Exo 35:33) And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.
(Exo 35:35) Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.

Indeed He does!

But when His servants* sell themselves out to science, I'm afraid things don't go properly.

Where do you think we would be right now if all scientists everywhere, and throughout the ages, worshipped the True and Living God?

For instance, no cancer (the discoverer of the cure would not have been aborted).

* "Servants" -- not "slaves".

Did God create the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, or was it intelligently designed?

 

[AV1611VET]

Did God create the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, or was it intelligently designed?

It was intelligently designed.

It probably bore manna for the angels.

Psalm 78:25 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.
Psalm 78:26a He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven:

The Bible does not call the tree of knowledge an apple tree, but that is what they say outside of the Bible. The apple tree is a hybrid. You have to take branches off of one tree and graft them in to produce an apple tree. I suppose there is some controversy but this is what science is telling us for the more part.

So you believe that the tree with 40 fruits represents science? What about the tree of evolution that they talk about?

 

[AV1611VET]

So you believe that the tree with 40 fruits represents science?

Specifically, I wanted to point out that the tree with 40 fruits is a product of intelligent design.

What about the tree of evolution that they talk about?

Satan's cheap imitation.

Sometimes your ideas confuse me...

Isn't intelligent design beautiful?

Yes it is, all of the Gods for all of the religions were intelligently designed to be beautiful for their individual believers.

It's simple really.

Angels that joined Lucifer in the Rebellion coerce people into doing things for their master.

It's called demon possession or demon influence.
