Fish grew stumps because fish went out to land. (see the difference?) What a fairy tale. Would you like to expand on this some more? Tell us the whole thing - how you think it happened. Once upon a time, a fish was in the water....... Please - I really want to hear this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Strservant Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Wow. I feel like I have a fan club here! Only one member but hey, that makes you the president John!!! Thanks for your encouragement! It means a lot! :hug: Artsylady, I follow your posts and must say I agree often with your posts. In fact in a response I posted to SA under Big bang under this same area I asked why he hadn't answered some of the challenging questions you had posed to him. Unfortunately new threads get started and the ones created yesterday kinda get left behind. SA didn't respond, not that I expected him to really but no one else commented. Just thought I'd let you know you have 2 fans. Respectfully, Strservant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops I'm sorry, "Once upon a time there was a magical man that magically appeared and lives in a magical world sprinkled magical dust and made all living things." I guess this fairy tale sounds much better right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this fairy tale sounds much better right? Makes more sense....the way you put it was kinda 'sac religious' & irreverent but God makes more sense than evolution. The thing I find fascinating that never gets addressed is not only did this life form ( whatever it was ) emerge billions of years ago on it's own, it was able to find food to sustain itself and it found a mate to reproduce with....that's a pretty good trick if ya ask me.

I guess this fairy tale sounds much better right? Actually, that's not how it happened at all. Here's the real deal. 1Â In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2Â And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3Â And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4Â And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5Â And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. 6Â And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7Â And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 8Â And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. 9Â And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 10Â And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. 11Â And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 12Â And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 13Â And the evening and the morning were the third day. 14Â And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 15Â And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16Â And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 17Â And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18Â And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. 19Â And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. 20Â 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. 21Â 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. 22Â And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. 23Â And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. 24Â 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. 25Â 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. 26Â 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. 27Â So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28Â And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 29Â And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30Â And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. 31Â And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. It wasn't about a magical man. It was about God - the Creator. One whose abilities are much greater than ours. One who is more intelligent than you are. That's just too hard to beleive huh? Now, let's hear about the fish story please. If you like, you can even start with the mud that came to life without any divine intervention. Please, I really do want to hear that old story again. It's been a long time since I've heard it.

It is a really good trick. And they, strangely enough, have a real problem with the children of Adam and Eve having children???? Nope, she's got 3 Oh man. lol. I guess I know why I'm not a celebrity. I am embarrassed having 3 call themselves fans. But thanks. And I'm a fan of you too! (Also a fan of U2!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many scientists themselves believe in the truth of Genesis. Many have gone through the whole elitist post-secondary education system - a system that completely indoctrinates them in evolution and won't allow them to even think about Creationism. Seriously - you don't even want to mention the word Creationism in a post-secondary educational setting! Yet some, not many mind you, who are able to listen and learn with an open mind, change their minds, dismiss evolution as false and accept this ancient story as truth. Are we all crazy? Is there a conspiracy? Or is there truth here????!!! Just because a belief is ancient, does not mean it is wrong. If it is ancient and stands the test of time, and if there are many scientists out there who also beleive it, why does it not deserve a second, serious look??
