I love science. Just like evolution, it’s one of God’s greatest creations. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. God creates everything for a reason. He created you and me. He created GGG, xcamel and all FReepers and placed us all here together on FR for a reason. He even created the duck billed platypus for a reason. Mine is not to question why or even to do or die. To God Be the Glory.
Merry CHRISTmas.
One of the greatest Christmas gifts ever might be to give GGG a forum all his own.. Just think.. Everyone WINS!!
(And peace spread through the kingdom like an Angels soft kiss...)
It's not all aspects of the ToE that are the issue. I don't think that any creationist I've ever heard from has a problem with variation within species and natural selection. Even the creationist sites that GGG posts from don't deny it.
What most creationists don't accept is that enough change is possible over enough time to cause the wide variety of life we see on the planet today, speciation, as it were.
Differences in the interpretation of the fossil record really seems to really irk some people for some reason.
He even created the duck billed platypus for a reason.
Just to keep us on our toes?
“Just like evolution, it’s one of God’s greatest creations.”
Do you believe that God created through evolution? Just curious because this is not the perception that I had from reading some of your other posts. Thanks for FR and Merry CHRISTmas!
Not to quibble, but I won $20 off my dad on the exact wording of the “do or die” vs “do and die” phrase, thus I have NEVER forgotten it, as my dad is usually right, right wing, and right-on!
The Charge Of The Light Brigade
by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Memorializing Events in the Battle of Balaclava, October 25, 1854
Written 1854
Half a league half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred:
‘Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns’ he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
‘Forward, the Light Brigade!’
Was there a man dismay’d ?
Not tho’ the soldier knew
Some one had blunder’d:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do & die,
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley’d & thunder’d;
Storm’d at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.
Flash’d all their sabres bare,
Flash’d as they turn’d in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army while
All the world wonder’d:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro’ the line they broke;
Cossack & Russian
Reel’d from the sabre-stroke,
Shatter’d & sunder’d.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley’d and thunder’d;
Storm’d at with shot and shell,
While horse & hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro’ the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wonder’d.
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!
Microevolution or the ability of animal species to adapt to changing conditions is certainly attributable to God. Macroevolution is what the theory of evolution is about and is basically an ideological doctrine masquerading as a science theory with something like 200 million dead bodies lying around to its credit. I have a hard time picturing God being behind anything like that.
