I do wish to clear one thing up. I put no words in your mouth. You did use the word insanity in your post #125.

Why are you so arguementative and angry that you would be so quick to make accusations? I have no need to put words into your mouth. You are issuing them forth just fine yourself.

Science does not prove the idea of a Creator to be untrue. As I said, the hypothesis, or theory, it makes about the creation of life is just a theory.. it is a best guess.. the mathmatics behind the chances that out of an ammonia pool some protein bonded and here we are are just as staggering as the idea of faith. The Bible doesnt give a specific time period and it is widely known and acknowledged that 7 days is not literal. Nothing that science has actually proven negates the ideas of a Creator that many Christians have.

Now, you seperate the start of life.. Ill go ahead and leave the jargonization out.... with evolution and that is cool. But it still plays into the equation. You do a disservice to your fellow countrymen by labelling them as idiots and insulting their intelligence. Evolution is a big topic in practically every church small group at one point in time. I have never, in all my decades of church heard people completely refuse evolution. They question aspects of evolution and wish to make sure that it is presented as theory. It cant be proven.

Theory: the·o·ry Audio pronunciation of "theory" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (th-r, thîr)
n. pl. the·o·ries

1. A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.
2. The branch of a science or art consisting of its explanatory statements, accepted principles, and methods of analysis, as opposed to practice: a fine musician who had never studied theory.
3. A set of theorems that constitute a systematic view of a branch of mathematics.
4. Abstract reasoning; speculation: a decision based on experience rather than theory.
5. A belief or principle that guides action or assists comprehension or judgment: staked out the house on the theory that criminals usually return to the scene of the crime.
6. An assumption based on limited information or knowledge; a conjecture.


Why is it that we cannot recreate the evolution of an organism.. or even create environments that force adaptation and evolution in less advanced species at will? Why dont chickens take to the air? Why havent they adapted to get away from prey? Why havent fish stopped spawning in the place of their birth, learning over time the environmental pitfalls that await them in much of our inland water? Why is our species so special? Why didnt everything evolve at the same rate?

I dont have the answers to all those questions and either does science. But I digress, cause Im not going to engage in arguements about this. The beauty of freewill and uniqueness is that we all are able to have whatever opinions we wish.
