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?

[Theland]

Statistically the cross breeds could not possibly be of any use populating our planet.
I promise you, I will study this and post an answer.
(By the way, simply being religious, or indeed very religious, is of no use whatsoever. Only through Jesus Christ does enlightenment come.)

//As an aside, put a group of assorted dogs together, and within a few generations they will revert to a common kind//

But we arn't talking about about a ''group'' of assorted dogs are we?
We are talking about a 'kind'.
How can a 'kind' mutate into another kind?
IE; Wolves into chihuahuas
Can a wolf mate with a chihuahua?

Name me the 'kinds' that came out of the ark and mutated (within a few hundred years)....micro evolution that you are a fan of!
Did the lion become a domestic moggy in a century or so?

arkaeologists (sorry for the pun)
Suggest the millions of species of animal life micro evolved from the ark over 4 thousand yrs...
REALLY?
4 thousand years ago house cats werent different from lions and tigers?
Zebras werent recognised as been different fron horses?
A wolf wasnt different from a bloody sausage dog?
How did these 'kinds' end up been gentically different from their offspring?
Just how do you mate two wolves to become a different varient?

Why invent a god when evolution explains the known facts so much better

Cognitive bias much?
Its only through krishna that enlightentment comes???

[nailit]

Im no genetesist but even a lay person will know that if you mate mate two lions you will never get a housecat. So your asersation that
all housecats come from the 'kinds' of cats that emerged from Noah's Ark 4000 yrs ago is ridiculous. Evolution is much more complex than that.

You don't need to study it, theland- but you are continually claiming it doesn't happen. So, it seems reasonable to assume you know the basics.

[pixie374]

Nailit, a wolf and chihuahua can breed. The point is more what we describe as kinds or species.

[Theland]

Nailit, no, you give me a referenced example of cross speciation through macro evolution, that you are a fan of.

[venator]

You are all working relative to your particular religious system.
What about the majority of human beings with other systems, most of which predate your God by tens of thousands of years?

[Theland]

Yes Venator, what about that?
Better still, examine evolution in detail. As a scientific theory it is full of holes, and does not meet the criteria as would be expected from the scientific method.
The science will do, without reverting to a particular worldview.

Im not a fan of anything and im not the one making the claim.
As a layman, I'm asking YOU (The one who's making the claim) to provide answers.
How does a lion turn into a moggy in a few decades?
How does a wolf turn into a poodle in a few decades?
How does a Camel (one hump or two, it doesnt matter) turn into a lama within a few decades of a supposed flood?

You deny evolution but accept it at the same time.
Apparently all specious of animal evolved over approx 4 thousand years (after disembarking the ark) which is absurd on all levels.
How many types of birds were on the ark?
Flying bird and flightless birds?
Were there flying birds (such as robbins) and flightless birds (such as penguins)? were they different 'kinds'?
How do you define a 'kind'?
Is a thrush a different kind of bird than an ostrich?
Or are they both desended from a common Ark anscestor?

[Theland]

Why ask one question when a dozen will do?

[nailit]

Noah had at least two 'kinds' of bird on the ark...a raven and a dove.
Therefore there were many 'kinds' of bird on the ark.
Presumably, many more kinds of animals to

[nailit]

//Why ask one question when a dozen will do?//

Why answer none?

[Theland]

Yes, presumably.

[nailit]

//Yes, presumably//
So define a 'kind'

[nailit]

Presumebly, a raven is a different 'kind' than a dove?

[naomi24]

Nailit, you're wasted here. Ever thought of writing a book?

[Theland]

''So define a 'kind'.''
Why are you constantly throwing down challenges to me for stuff you can look up yourself?
Do your own research, I have my own to do.

Flattery will get you everywhere naomi ;-)
