When did evolution begin?

[AphroditeGoneAwry]

1. False. It's one's interpretation which is at fault. Those who do NOT believe Genesis chapter one CANNOT understand the rest of the Bible.

Agreed.

2. False. The sons of God (prehistoric people) evolved from the common ancestor of Apes but Humans were made long before ANY other living creature. Gen 2:4-7

Interesting! I like it.

But I would not call early man sons of God. Sons of God is a term reserved for those from God's chosen people following the line of Adam, Seth, Noah, Shem, and on down the line to Jesus. All other men would be referred to as simply 'men', as illustrated in Genesis 6:1. There is no description of ape men at all in the Bible. I believe God made many adams (men) but only one special chosen Adam to inhabit the Garden of Eden.

ADM is plural. That is Hebrew for Adam. It means ruddy. There is every indication in the original language to believe there were many men made, but only ONE Adam worthy of being in God's garden.

The sons of God (line of Seth/Shem) bred with the daughters of men (Cain's line) and God became displeased. That is when God destroyed all the line of Cain effectually and began again with only Noah and his descendants.

I just noticed something in my review which is exciting. Genesis 6:4 :

The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God (those from the line of Seth) came in to the daughters of men (those from the line of Cain), and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

RENOWN is what the name Shem means. Shem is the chosen son of Noah, which Japheth and Ham are to serve. From Shem's line comes Jesus. Shem means 'the name'. It also is used to mean 'there'. The usage of the word 'old' supports your theory that God's human came before all other men. But to finish the story, we see that even with half of the genes of these people being God's chosen ones, it was not enough to prevent them from becoming evil through and through. (this is the topic for another thread).

However, the fossil record appears to support an older ape like man vs a modern human like man. How do you reconcile this?

3. False. Man was made with an intelligence like God's. Gen 3:22 Animals are innocent because they are unable to know good and evil. Science has FALSELY classified Humans as innocent animals.

4. False. What is apparent is that some people have NO idea what Genesis is saying. They see 2 stories of the Creation when there is but One. The problem is with their interpretation which does NOT agree with Scripture.

5. God concealed His Truth from people who lived BEFORE the last days. The men named could NOT understand what was written so they tried to explain. Some people STILL believe their ideas because they don't believe the Bible in the first place. Amen?

Agreed.


Thanks for giving me a boost in my spiritual understanding!

Apparently those doctors lacked the necessary education?

Did you ask them what their education was?

 

[brinny]

Is there anything that you would not consider faith based?

"belief" = faith = trust.

If one "believes" in something, regardless of what it is, it is "faith" regardless of if it "appears" to be a "religion" or not.

 

[brinny]

Did you ask them what their education was?

LOL!

i was kinda' REAL sick.

Should i have?

 

[bhsmte]

Yeah, whatever theories came into play with these medical professionals nearly killed me.

Theories. Not reliable.

I agree.

Would you care to know the rest of the story?

All the more reason to stay away from doctors and hospitals, for yourself personally that is.

 

[bhsmte]

If you want to know if they had the wrong education, best to gather information on the same. Or, you could just believe you were correct in saying they had the wrong education based on faith.

You may have a point, as demonstrated by gross incompetence and thus mistaken theories and assumptions of the medical professionals i mentioned.

Thank you for the advice.

Their "faith" in whatever "theories" they believed in were flawed.

 

[florida2]

you only have anything because you stole it from someone.
show me your patents?

What has been stolen? Are all science discoveries theft?

 

[bhsmte]

Their "faith" in whatever "theories" they believed in were flawed.

Easily fixed, stay away from them.

 

[brinny]

Easily fixed, stay away from them.

Your caution re: them and their gross incompetence is noted.

I agree.

 

[Loudmouth]

The False Theory of Evolution has facts which back it up....BUT....today's Scientists are operating with only a partial Truth, by FAITH.

Incorporating your faith based religious views would be using faith. By excluding claims that don't have evidence they are removing faith from science.

 

[florida2]

you all worship the works of your own hands. time to get a grip.

Ps I live in a metal house on wheels both of which my ancestors invented.. now all the plastic in side of here is all yours. i'll give it too you .

yes ok so knowledge has increased. most of it is wrong..
it is wisdom and common sense that is dead and gone an buried.

What knowledge is wrong? Science is the engine of prosperity and has improved the lives of billions of people

Can you give an example of something that isn't based on faith?

 

[Loudmouth]

I agree.

Better get rid of any chemicals in your house since they are the product of atomic theory.

Thank you for your concern

 

[Loudmouth]

Thank you for your concern

Would you say that the theory of evolution uses faith in the same way that Germ Theory and Atom Theory use faith?

 

[brinny]

If it's "theory", of course it's faith.

Man created God so man obviously made his God look like a man, what better way for man to elevate himself to be more than a mere mortal?
We said we did not want to die so we had to do something about it but what? I know, we will invent a God and believe in that God and tell each other that this wonderful all powerful God will stop us from dying, perfect, the problem of dying has been solved.

And believe it or not the problem of dying has really been solved, it really has because even though we all know it's not really true we have convinced ourselves that it is, and it works, billions of people now do not fear death half as much as they once did, however, having solved the problem of death we have now created other problems with the very monster we created to make death go away, our lives have become ruled by the monster.

You're simply offering an antichrist view of God instead of sticking with the topic of creation and evolution. While your venomous anti-theist, Dawkinesque verbiage is noted, it has nothing to do with the creation and evolution of life (the forum's topic).
