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]

Here's a German palaontologist and museum curator who was brave enough to examine the evidence and found Darwinism a load of tosh.

Give over, Theland. He’s a Senior Fellow of the Discovery Institute.

[Theland]

Yes he is now.
That came after his days as a curator.

[naomi24]

Irrelevant. His mindset is clear.

[Theland]

Really?
He was a Darwinist until he examined the evidence.
Of course he would naturally pursue his studies elsewhere than in a pseudo science museum.

[naomi24]

Yes, really. Such is his conviction that he doesn’t have the courage to address challenge.

in case anyone wonders about the beginning of life
I found this:

reconstruction of the genome

Loki by the way was a Norse God - William II 1066-1087 was given to exclaiming 'by the mask of Lucca' - where the image on cloth of cour Sviour was stored. Or was he saying - By the mask of Loki - and had relapsed to heathenium. arrow in eye guy

andy-hughes 21:13 Sat 29th May 202 /But as I say, locusts has no interest in answers to the questions he poses - occasionally he will come on and answer his question himself,
16:07 Wed 02nd Jun 2021 Scientists have established that birds evolved from dinosaurs, and dinosaurs are known to have produced young from eggs,
so clearly eggs came first.
//////yes this do not prove anything because we know the chickens lay eggs. so do crocodiles. fish lay eggs,,bees lay eggs which is call lava but they are still eggs, spiders lay eggs and many many others so do turtles they all lay eggs.. so there's no disputed dinosaurs laid eggs which is quite a possibility but we still need to know the facts of the evolution side ?????. and you said it the egg came first,??, but what happened to the producer of the egg
There is a problem with our theories when we start to analyse the production of nature it must have had to start all together at one time because one with without the other cannot work for instance first you have to put the seed in the ground and then you have to water to irrigator.? and now we get seasons of time?? the growth of the production of the vegetation? without that vegetation the animals on the Earth could not survive ?

I suppose it is to be expected of those who believe their god created life that they would be prepared to dictate the means and process by which their god would be permitted to do it. After all their god is their own creation and therefore better obey their wishes . . . or else.

[Theland]

MIBs, try and be a bit more scientific.
You see from the link kindly provided by Peter Pedant how a scientist who challenges accepted orthodoxy is sidelined and ignored.
That should arouse your suspicions.

[Atheist]

Theland, surely you can see that locusts hasn't a clue. Don't you realise that you don't have a clue? You just trot out gibberish that you have found that you think supports your predetermined biblical viewpoint.

‘ Theland MIBs, try and be a bit more scientific’

Has to be AnswerBank ironic comment of the year, surely!

[Peter Pedant]

// how a scientist who challenges accepted orthodoxy is sidelined and ignored.//

um no not really
orthodoxy is challenged when ever someone makes an advance. Not everyone gets sidelined and there ARE advances

I think Bechly made the wrong theoretical choices - to choose a mechanism which had been considered and rejected

the changing of theory is meant to be via paradigm shift

[Peter Pedant]

oh - it went in
Paradigm shift ....

Darwin sold out on the first day - 1500, and was widely recognised t be right. ( Like Newton )

unlike quantum theory ( oh mr planck how did you get the old profesors to accept your radical new theories
Planck - they died ]

Theland,23:35. We have been through all this before. "Species" is a human definition of animals that "can't" breed together. Even so, we have been wrong, and managed to produce hybrids. You never got to the answer of mules, ligers, etc of what I remember... so why are you asking the same question again, having not responded before?

[pixie374]

Spungle, 7:32 (just catching up with thread)... ancestors are still "running around". We still have apes, wolves, wild horses... not quite sure what your point is, as pterodactyls have died out, but we still have chickens... did you have an actual point though?

it is not done on AB to collect one liners and gormless comments and test them against each other for gormlessmess or stupidity - or parade them in a freak show of ignorance.

I liked ( nonetheless ) 'I never lie' ( usual suspect ) - well that was one for a start

and "I never read PP so I dont comment" - sorry you have just commented, and I accept that you dont read them before commenting.

TTT's "radio rental "epithet lacks self awareness - end of!

and in passing plenty plenty more

[Peter Pedant]

Infertility of the first filial generation as a definition of species is a bit Darwinian you know

Just got up to p200 of Stephen J Gould - structure of evolutionary theory - - god it is a long read

[THECORBYLOON]

If evolution is part of God's plan, how come the plan wasn't perfect right from the start?

What was the point in bothering to create dinosaurs only to wipe out all of them?

If there is a God, he's not very efficient, is he?

///NO I don't have a clue but I'm willing to learn and expand my knowledge ???
I do not profess to be a professor or a scientific person .who have been studying for years on the subject ,, I only have basic knowledge and I learn from videos on the subject of science- universe or biology- to increase my knowledge in what I'm trying to learn, I do not profess to be any professor .Some people study- for their whole life, about the cosmos, And I still have not come to an accurate knowledge of what is all about- its- complexity? ? but at least they are trying to give us the information which will increase our knowledge of the universe . and I thank them for this .I have watched these three videos from YouTube to give me some idea of the the workings of the Universe, And I am still baffled with some of the information



Some of this information is fantastic and incredible, I've learn t from the videos,, IT still goes to show how organized and how in an order the complexity fashion it is ,and at times they do crash into one another but there seems to have a purpose behind it ??
SO my question would be why does the galaxies keep on expanding and why?? there must be a purpose behind all this ??????
