And the idealism that the building block to life were basic uranium deposits seems to be nowhere in line with Scripture anywhere.

Nor in science texts.   You've been misled about that.   Not only is the origin of life not part of evolutionary theory, no scientist thinks uranium started it off.   God assures us that life was brought forth by the earth, but He didn't say it was uranium.

Genesis 1:2 claims the Earth was Void and without Form.   The term FORM here is key because in Genesis 2:5-8 & 19 uses this [same form] to explain man.

5And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

6But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

Genesis 2:7  And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul

Genesis 2:8  And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed  

Genesis 2:19  And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.    

 

 

Interesting, we see the Earth is no longer [Formless] but God wants someone to till the ground.   He causes water to spring forth and then from the wet dust He [FORMS] man.  

 

So we have God Forming a Formless Earth and we have God Forming man and verse 19 God Forming every beast and fowl. 

 

Plus, after God FORMS man, He breathes in man's nostrils life.   So, man is a FORM, not alive, just a FORM/MOLD/CREATION. Then God breathes life into His nostrils.  

 

 

Evolution is life from word GO!

But man is a FORM/MOLD/CREATION first before man becomes life. Man is DEAD at Creation, he is just a FORM, not a LIFE.

^

That is where Evolution [DOES NOT] align with Scripture!  

 

In Evolution, once the pond of components become living microorganisms, every process after is still a continuation of LIFE.  

 

But God Creates man DEAD as a FORM.

Then God breathes LIFE.

 

So clearly, Evolution and the WORD of God do not align, because Evolution is a [CONTINUAL PROCESS] of 1 life form to the next and in God's Process, man is FORMED DEAD with no life!  

 

Evolution has no interruptions and is 1 life form after another.

God's Creation is an INTERRUPTION of man formed DEAD and then is given LIFE.

 

The 2 DO NOT align or match up.

 

So NO, Evolution does not describe how God created LIFE!

I've rechecked my notes from when I studied Evolution Biology and there [ARE NO] interruptions from evolving 1 species to another.

 

So clearly, how God FORMED MAN, man is still dead, man is not a life yet nor alive yet. There is an [OUTRIGHT INTERRUPTION] in the process of man being FORMED to when man becomes a LIFE FORM.

 

To claim Evolution explains the Word of God has to therefore be UNTRUE!

Not long. 

Incidentally, you can make your own amber in minutes with tree sap, tin foil and a torch.   Sap is highly flammable so be very careful doing it.  Instead of inserting an insect or a bird feather, why not put in a small picture of Trump?  Then throw it on a beach for a scientist to find.  I guarantee you, some scientist will fall for it, and claim Trump is 'millions of years old.'

I love it.

A thing is evidence of itself. Fossils prove there are fossils, but that is all they do. If you go any further than the evidence allows, then you have left the realm on proof, and entered the fantasy world of Surmisal. Trying to explain a theory by leaping from one fact to supposition is like diving into a pool with no water. It might be fun ...for a little bit

Arguing against a theory without understanding the theory in question is like walking on the branch of a tree without checking to see if the branch will bear your weight. You're 80 years behind modern research and theory, my friend. 

Two misconceptions/errors I've come across in this topic as it pertains to the modern synthetic theory of biological evolution:

The various hypotheses of abiogenesis are not part of modern evolutionary theory. Why? Because theory is supported by evidence and subjected to exhaustive peer-review --- it survives a grueling gauntlet of nullification --- whereas hypothesis is untested conjecture. Notions of abiogenesis have been around for roughly a century. Hot primordial soup, anyone? How about hot, electrified primordial soup? Conjecture. 

The field of epigenetics examines how modification of gene expression occurs in real-time without alteration of the genome. The axiom that genetic mutation is generally not beneficial holds true; genes are not required to experience mutation in order to affect incremental, substantive change in a lineage of biological organisms over vast spans of geological time. No, not when controller genes are responsible for modifying their expression. Controller genes were first discovered in 1961. 

With all of that said, the following factors influence the genome of biological organisms in this cosmos the Lord created: solar radiation... illness... diet... environmental stressors... toxic substances... and even psychological trauma. Can the end result of epigenetic modification eventually result in what appears to be genetic mutation to the modern eye? No doubt.

There's another axiom of God's creation to consider: that which is not used is reabsorbed and otherwise discontinued. Case in point: individuals who lose their teeth experience bone loss in the dental cavity. The bone is no longer needed to support dentition and so it's reabsorbed by the body.   

Modern evolutionary theory is far more nuanced than the examination of fossil evidence, my friends. :)

Yeah, Irreducible Complexity makes the fossil 'evidence' irrelevant before you can even point towards fossils as evidence. 

It seems like your theological evolution belief is exactly as every Evolutionist believes (atheist, agnostic, secular, or whatever), but when your theory bottoms out and is shown to be impossible, you can just add a +God to your theory. 

Like this:

Abiogenesis +God

Evolution is from a single ancestor, undirected mutation, and natural selection + God.

Evolution theory is a false doctrine and conflicts with what the Bible tells you happened. 

You had an eye witness to creation tell you what He did.  Why do you trust man's speculation about what He did, over what He told you He did?

This is not true, as I’ve already explained to you. Irreducibly complex structures occur all throughout God’s creation. However, there is clear evidence that these can arise by evolution.

The Genesis account contains multiple elements that should not be read literally. (For example, it is unlikely God brought every wild animal to Adam for naming. One representative at best. There are several other examples.) There is ample reason to believe that the days of creation are not necessarily literal 24 hour days, and not necessarily sequential. The manner of creation is not the point of Genesis 1-3. The Person of creation is.

This sounds like something once uttered in a garden.

 

There is no evidence of man gaining knowledge that upends what is written.

Adaptation is demonstrably not evolution. Science, being the study & naming of God's creation, was given the postulate of observation and reorder of theory to confirm.

Nothing has ever done this in regards to evolutionary theory.

The most powerful being ever created has limited time to convince mankind to repeatedly put the creator under the mold, as if momentary lapses of perceived enlightenment from a created soul can fathom a neverending all-supreme being's timeline or composition within the parameters of their environment. 

 

There is nothing new under the sun.

Evolution at its root, is heritable change in a population over time. So adaptation, at least at the genetic level, is evolution.

Of course, there are different uses of the term, but that is evolution at the most basic level.

    • 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.
