Did God Use Evolution To Create Life?

[locusts]

Did God Use Evolution to Create Life? Has All Life Descended From a Common Ancestor? What does the evidence reveal? Does the evidence support the Bible’s description of events, or was Darwin correct? What have discoveries over the past 150 years revealed?

Stuck again, theland?

[pixie374]

Probably. We've given him loads of examples of macro evolution, including dogs, hybrids, humans etc. All that happens is theland goes quiet, leaves the thread - and then makes exactly the same proclamation on the next one.

[pixie374]

Plus pointed out that a "species" is only what humans decided it should mean.

[Theland]

Never stuck Naomi.
Nailit should be able to shine a light on his question with a couple of quick googles.
You really should not encourage him.

(As an aside, put a group of assorted dogs together, and within a few generations they will revert to a common kind.
This is basic genetics and biology..
My time is important, please don't set me homework.)

[pixie374]

Theland, I thought you didn't believe that breeding one species could turn into another? You still haven't explained dogs, or humans or mules...

[pixie374]

I've even given you the answer...

[Theland]

Pixie, never quiet, sometimes tired.

[pixie374]

Yes, but when you leave a thread without response, and then start another saying the same- that's not tiredness, it's avoidance.
I have literally given you the answer re wolves and poodles. So, it didn't take much effort.
Btw, I hope you are doing OK after your "swim" x

[naomi24]

Don’t let me keep
you, theland.

[Theland]

Pixie, you give me a reference of one species evolving into another please. And, is it important to you?
A relationship with God is more important.

[davebro]

In reply to the OP - No!

[naomi24]

Theland, now you intimate that it’s not important - and yet you’re the one always banging on about it. Make your mind up.

[pixie374]

You are trying to change the subject. It's only important to me, because you keep insisting it can't and doesn't happen. It does.
Once again, mules, humans, ligers...?
But, as I said, "species" is just a human definition of animals that "can't" interbreed. Maybe, we are wrong? Wolves and dogs can interbreed, so you have your answer.
The point is more, that "WE" define species, as those that "can't" interbreed. That is our decision, not religion.
But, that does not explain how animals get from wolves to poodles, neanderthals to us, dinosaurs to birds... why you can get a new species from a horse and donkey...
Or, why a lot of micro evolution, can't add up to macro?

[Theland]

Pixie, you are important and valuable to me, as is Naomi, Nailit, Andy, and indeed every other ABer.
Your points regards evolution are something I cannot answer because I am not expert in genetics, but know enough to know that one kind cannot breed into another, cross speciation.
I think you will find that the half breeds you mentioned are infertile and cannot reproduce.
Thank you for your continued interest.
Please investigate Gods word with the same vigour, you will not be disappointed.
I feel guilty being in posession of the good news of Jesus Christ, yet have difficulty convincing you to look deeper.

Theland; I'm sure you are right, and that you will find your home in time. Best not to argue the toss with people here. Best wishes.

[pixie374]

Hybrids can breed, often. Mules can... usually. There is no vigour, I just have different interests, I expect. Neither do you need to be an expert in genetics- but when you claim, regularly, that macro evolution is impossible, I would expect you to actually believe and understand it.
On the next thread, you will claim exactly the same again...

[pixie374]

Also, no need to feel guilty. My gran was religious and did her best, I've read the bible and so on. It just doesn't add up. I'm not missing out, I'm more concerned that you are x

[THECORBYLOON]

Mules very rarely give birth, according to this link.

[pixie374]

Corby, the point is- they can.

[pixie374]

Ligers are fertile, so are female tigrons, but not male ones... theland has claimed before they aren't.
