Recent Human Variation Is Not Evolution (evidence points to recent creation)

Please answer. How much science education do you have??

More than enough to find the flaws in the reasoning of mere mortals like Einstein.

Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Doesn't say how he created the heaven and earth.

What do you disagree with Einstein about?

My pleasure. If you’re interested, check my history as I post new articles/papers on the creation, evolution, ID debate pretty much on a daily basis. All the best—GGG

Hebrew: "Bara": 1) to create, shape, form

Maybe God formed man and shaped him by the process of evolution?

Despite the widespread belief that “we emerged from chimpanzees 6 million years ago,” geneticists observed that differences between people are caused by DNA blocks that are reshuffled in each generation in patterns that remain closely linked.2 This points to a relatively recent development for human variation.

Or it simply verifies Darwin's opinion that larger populations allow for more variation.

If you believe in the Bible, devolution is a foregone conclusion.

If a car company designs and builds a car which fails in its most critical requirements, I wouldn't put the blame on the car..

Isn't that more like several times a day?

[Buck W.]

Unless, of course, God is directing the whole evolution process.

[GodGunsGuts]

God willing!

Doesn't say how he created the heaven and earth.

Again, correct. The salient point is it does say "created", not evolved, not gave commanders intent, not closed His eyes and pushed a button.

The Master envisioned, planned, arranged for delivery of, and executed, creation.

[ColdWater]

It’s plausible that the Creator “front-loaded” Adam and Eve’s genomes with full complements of a wide variety of both essential and non-essential genes,

Not plausible. God would not have front loaded man with non-essential genes.

Then we still would not need redemption, much less have His Son go through the horror he did on Calvary's tree.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Evolution and Christianity are perfectly compatible.

Depends on what you mean by both of those terms.

[ColdWater]

The salient point is it does say "created", not evolved, not gave commanders intent, not closed His eyes and pushed a button.

Isn't that pretty much the YEC position? He pushed a button, created man and closed his eyes?

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Even Pope John Paul II said that evolution is perfectly compatible with the Roman Catholic Church.

How much science education did JPII have?

[rjsimmon]

Unless, of course, God is directing the whole evolution process.

Contradictory. Direction dictates plan, which negates chance.

[ColdWater]

Why not? It may all be part of God's plan. It is presumptious for you to declare that you know God's plan.
