Science vs. Creationism

[Hantlers]

Colton, I respect your opinions and that you want to use science because that's your background...but let me ask you a couple questions:

Where in science do we get the idea that a virgin birth is possible? Do you believe that as well?

Where in science do we get the idea that people coming back from the dead is possible? Do you believe that Lazaraus, and the most obvious example, Jesus, rose from the dead?

Don't get me wrong, I love science, I love what it's done for us and how it has improved human life, but it cannot explain everything that is in the Bible.

Yes, I believe in the virgin birth and in the resurrection. And I agree completely that science cannot explain everything that is in the Bible.

And like I said earlier, I have no problem with people believing the Bible, even to the extent that they trust it over science. My problem is when people try to pass off pseudo-science as actual science.

Edit: And when people say that their interpretation of the Bible (i.e. what is symbolic and what is literal) is the only legitimate interpretation.

VMAT2....... This is the answer to the questions!!!

Also..... What are the chances that God is an Alien or Alein civilization???

I doubt, she is dead serious about fish with hands, lol.

Here is one for you Pearl. What kind of creationist would create such a creature?

What is harder to wrap your head around is what kind of creationist would create this creature:

 

[PearlWatson]

The better way to say it is ... humans are a specialized type of amphibian.

...what you see there is a MARVEL of creation...NOT a miracle of "evolution!" The intricate design of that amphibian is not only breath taking but also beautiful in it's own way! Just as there are, what people would classify as "ugly" frogs, you then have the absolutely colorful and beautiful "dart frogs" from South America! The great variety in the animal kingdom testifies to not only a marvelous designer, but one with a sense of humor, too!

Drug resistant bacteria, viruses and african cichlids!!!

Even today, humans get pregnant without sex, and the occasional coroner finds a live person on his table after being declared dead.

Not to mention the guinea worm.

To be clear I was referring to your point that fossil's are "created" the way they are to confuse us. Carbon dating, fossil records and science tells us life started in the water. Bible says land animals were created first. So did the creator misarranged and misdated fossils to confuse us?

I suggest you drop this angle of attack against "creationists." If you want to persuade people that the "evidence" is on your side you probably shouldn't start with a lie.

Genesis Chapter 1

20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Wrong. There is no miracles of evolution. But what you see here is simple example of transitional species ( one with distinctive features of two different species) and in no way any kind of marvel of creation.
