Then I could say that the theory of evolution requires as much faith as the concepts of germs causing disease and matter being made up of atoms.
Thanks.

If it's "theory", of course it's faith.
That isn't relevant. To say man is created in the image of God is a theological statement, not a scientific one.
Man is an animal created in the image of God. These aren't mutually exclusive.
Saying we are made in God's image doesn't change the fact that we are animals, hominid apes descended from hominid apes ultimately from non-hominid apes--apes which are placential mammals, mammals which are therapsids, therapsids which are amniotes, amniotes which are tetrapods, tetrapods which are vertebrates, vertebrates which are, you guessed it, animals.

Again, you are looking at the process and the existence of it after the fact. I am discussing the lack of natural processes by a chance event giving rise to it.Then what are the supernatural forces at work during DNA replication?
Sure you could. If they're theories, yes there's faith, and in essence if "belief", a "religion" of sorts.

We can have whatever "belief" and "religion" we wish.
Hey Brinny, why do you keep putting all the important words in scare quotes? Is it because you don't really want to stand by your arguments?Sure you could. If they're theories, yes there's faith, and in essence if "belief", a "religion" of sorts.

DNA would have to already exist?How did you determine that there is a lack of natural processes that could produce a naturally occurring polymerase?
Agreed.
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?
Agreed.
Thanks for giving me a boost in my spiritual understanding!
Because the are used to assemble DNA and RNA molecules, respectively, by copying a DNA or RNA template strand using base-pairing interactions.Why?

Incorporating your faith based religious views would be using faith. By excluding claims that don't have evidence they are removing faith from science.
A RNA polymerase needs DNA to sequence to an RNA sequence for starters. Peptide Nucleic Acids giving rise to DNA in what way? Explain?Now you are looking at the end product. Why would the ancestors of modern polymerases need DNA template? Why couldn't they use something else, like RNA template or even PNA template?
