No, the biblical myths of adam&eve, the flood and the implicit theological timeline have been disproved by evolution. The creation of the world is disproved by other fields of science and philosophy.
Dear TheDuke,
All of those prominent occurrences have happened and are not myths. You can't prove that they are. We are at a stalemate and we both agree in different things. That is the only question here.
Ouch, so wrong. The BBT doesn't match the genesis account in the slightest, neither in principal, details, timeline or anything. Your disingenuous generalization serves you no good either, because although it's clear that you mean your god of the bible, the statement just opens the door to any deity of choice. But most importantly, the implication mentioned is arbitrary and groundless.
I don't necessarily agree with the BBT. I agree that my God did everything that the Bible says, though. I don't mention just any deity did it, because I only believe in the Deity of God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost. They are One Deity.
of course they are, otherwise we wouldn't be here, called the anthropic principle.
If you want to believe that everything just came together so that all of life and the Universe just happened without God, then you are innocently being less educated than I thought. You can throw your anthropic principle out of the windows of your mind.
Where is that evidence, I'd like to know.
Good luck proving a negative without offering even an alternative explanation.
It is written that Our God made the Earth, Seas, etc. by His Presence and activities overlooking the water of the dark and deep. He first created Light, but not Sunlight. Just like the light that fireflies give, naturally glows, but God's Light is not that color. But not like Sunlight, once again I tell you. After that, He hovered over the waters and being the MASTER Chemist this Universe has EVER KNOWN, He created the Earth and the Heaven, and the Universe, and the animals and man. He made man from the dust of the ground. He also made the animals and insects from the ground. So I don't believe in a primordial soup whatsoever. I believe God created Hydrogen atoms to be part of our Sun, including Sulfur and Helium. I do not know what He made everything else with, because I am not a Master Chemist. Are you?
So wrong, firstly do be honest and admit that ID is nothing more than another word for "my god did it", secondly the DNA is only comparable to letters in a book because WE MADE this analogy on purpose, since it simplifies the understanding by invoking terminology and concepts that everyone is familiar with. In reality the "information" isn't there, becuase DNA is manipulated by cellular mechanisms on a molecular level, where the geometry and composition of one molecule interacts with another, just like pure chemisty. This is precisely the reason why most of the DNA isn't really "coding" for proteins, why the process is so complex and convoluted instead of just "reading a book".
You wish I would admit that God is an Intelligent Designer. I do. Can you do what He has? Simple man? Yes, DNA & RNA are quite complex, and God created them, and He alters them as He sees fit. Not man. God is the pure Chemist you are talking about and you just don't believe it because you'd rather believe that man's "Reasoning" is more true that His Maker, God. It's really quite a shame.
I don't know exactly what Darwin himself predicted, so maybe your statement has a grain of truth, however paleontologists around the world would strongly disagree with this embarrassment to apologetics regarding lack of transitional forms.
C'mon, just google it mate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_transitional_fossils
Cheers, Duke
My own beliefs on transitional forms is that God makes every creature the way He wants to and HE controls the Chemistry and Biology of what He is creating. If He wants to change something, it's called similar, but variety, plainly. We are not descended from relatives of chimps. Get that out of your mind entirely. God worked His own Chemistry on chimps and men/women. So don't think they are descendants. They were separately made from Humans. There are a variety of chimps and a variety of humans. Whether I would include Neanderthals is debatable. He creates everything with their own Chemistry, and He also alters the DNA, genes, genomes, RNA, atoms, nuclei, protons, neutrons, electrons, etc. as He sees fit, in each Creation He makes. Even while the twins are conceived in a mother's womb, it is He Who decides if they will be Siamese twins, or not. Siamese twins existed long before we found a way to separate them. They are unique creations and often can do very well regardless of their situation. The same thing with cleft palates. They can do everything everyone else can do but we can NOW operate on them and make them look more enhanced. God gives us that expertise and knowledge to do so. Scientists just didn't dream it all up. God gave the knowledge to those who are gifted by Him to pass it down to others. Some babies die in the womb. That is up to God and there are reasons that I won't go into now, because you couldn't handle it. Sometimes a woman is barren. That is up to God also. Well, I've really answered enough of your questions, but you are going to believe what you want to believe, so what is the reward for me spending time to pass on information to you. I can't say that I will answer all of the lengthy posts you throw my way. I do, however, suggest you peruse 6days post, right before this one. He's quite astute and helpful!! Check him out. I did check out your link also.
Someone Who Believes In God!!!
