Can we really say that given the almost infinitesimal amount of space in the universe that we can inhabit?  it makes more sense to say that we adapted/evolved to fill the tiny space that we could.

Hey it wasn't me. It was another physicist commenting on the implications of the anthropic principle.

I'd like you to explain your understanding of evolution. That would tell me a lot about how much I should value your opinion on the topic.

Tell you what Jerry.

I'll make it easy for you, and I'll explain the different meanings of evolution, then you can try and either deny these are part of evolution, or, you will explain how each happened in the first time.

 

1) COSMIC EVOLUTION                                -    The origin of time, space, and matter

2) CHEMICLE EVOLUTION                            -    The origin of higher elements from hydrogen

3) STELLAR AND PLANETARY EVOLITION -    The origin of stars and planets

4) ORGANIC EVOLUTION                              -   The origin of life from non life

5) MACRO EVOLUTION                                 -    Changing from one animal into another

6) MICRO EVOLUTION                                  -     Variations from kinds

 

No one disputes #6 there are variations within a kind. There are over 200 variations of dogs fro example.

No one has ever seen a dog produce any other than a dog. The same for every animal. Each kind of animal produces it's same kind.

 

So, there you go Jerry, have at it brother. The first five on this list are purely religious - no one has ever observed them.

 

I hear some people say, "well, what about the star nursery then? we can see stars forming"  No you can't! What you see is something in the sky getting brighter, it could be the dust clearing away and there's a star behind it. 

 

Anyway, I'll wait to see what you think about evolution before I even begin to value your opinions.

Words Of Life

 

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. John 6:63

....you don't know much about evolution.....

 

....How about you tell us what evolution says....

 

:thumbsup:

 

Well Jerry, What Evolution Has To Say Will Clearly

 

How foolish can you be? He is the Potter, and he is certainly greater than you, the clay! Should the created thing say of the one who made it, "He didn't make me"? Does a jar ever say, "The potter who made me is stupid"? Isaiah 29:16 (NLT)

 

Show It Is Void Of Life And Knowledge

 

The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. Job 33:4

 

So Why Should Some Fellow

 

I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. Psalms 119:99

 

Bow Down To Ignorance

 

But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward. Jeremiah 7:24

 

When He Can

 

And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: Ephesians 3:9

 

Know Truth

 

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6

 

See....

 

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Revelation 4:11

PS: Beloved Jerry We Are Not Here To Kowtow To Pagan Scientism

 

Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. 1 John 5:21

 

But To Share The Mighty LORD Jesus

 

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. John 1:1-3

 

With Unbelievers

 

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

 

He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

 

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: John 1:10-12

 

The outer Court is an area where we allow anyone who wishes to learn more about our belief to ask questions and learn. Those who join Worthy who do not claim Christ as Savior will be designated "nonbeliever'. http://www.worthychristianforums.com/index.php?app=forums&module=extras&section=boardrules

:thumbsup:

 

For this is what the LORD says-- he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited-- he says: "I am the LORD, and there is no other. Isaiah 45:18 (NIV)

Hi Jerry.

I find your comment very ironic. you accuse me of not understanding anything about evolution, but you offered nothing to corroborate it at all.

 

take care.

 

John

I asked you to explain your understanding of evolution.  That would tell me a lot about how much I should value your opinon of the topic. Your post and my experience with creationists leads me to believe they have not delved deeply into the topic.  Could you give me some bullets on what you think the theory of evoulution espouses?  That would give us a starting point for debate.

 

If you know the creationist have less knowledge than you on this subject why are you here debating with them?

How about we stick to biological evolution?  In biological evolution, 5 and 6 are one and the same.  Now, could you kindly describe how you think that scientist describe biological evolution.

 

 

Thanks - if we go off on too many tangents, it gets to be a mess.

Equivocation (Fallacy): since 1980 @ the very least....

 

Chicago Field Museum of Natural History Conference on 'Macroevolution'....

"The central question of the Chicago conference was whether the mechanisms underlying microevolution can be extrapolated to explain the phenomena of macroevolution.  At the risk of doing violence to the positions of some of the people at the meeting, the answer can be given as a clear, No."

Roger Lewin PhD, Science(Vol.201(4472):883-887,1980.

 

 

Moreover:

 

‘General Theory of Evolution’, defined by the evolutionist Kerkut as ‘the theory that all the living forms in the world have arisen from a single source which itself came from an inorganic form.’

Kerkut, G.A., Implications of Evolution, Pergamon, Oxford, UK, p. 157, 1960.

 

So, Please....

 

DNA/RNA/"Functional Proteins" NEVER spontaneously form "naturally", outside already existing cells, from nucleotides and aminos, respectively.

It's Physically and Chemically IMPOSSIBLE.

That's just the Hardware!

 

DNA "CODE"/Software------------------Design(Intelligence)--------------------Designer!

 

To refute:

 

1. Prove that the Genetic CODE is not....."CODE"/Software. OR....

2. Prove that Atoms/Molecules have Sentience and Intelligence.

 

if we go off on too many tangents, it gets to be a mess.

 

I agree, especially for your position....you have "quite enough"---See Above,  with just "Biological"

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
