How is it possible

God created Adam from dust...

So, if evolution exist, then wouldn't that screw this "we were made from dust" thing up?

 

Star dust. Science knows all heavy elements were created inside a dying star that predates the one you see everyday. We are stardust..we are golden..billion year old carbon...Hmmm heard that some where..

 

I never thought of that...

awozny, well said.

 

Please don't take me as rude stainless, but something to ponder, what automatically makes you think evolution proves there is no God? Where we have similarities to apes, we are not decendants of them. And there isn't anything that says that Adam and Eve's features weren't similiar to that of the early humans. Atleast, that I know of. Good question though.

There is NO way just 2 people can create a viable population. That is basic Genetics. So sorry Adam and Eve is just a fanciful myth...Not possible

 

Evolution is a fact....the theory of evolution is HOW evolution works and came about...and your right, we didn't come from Apes, we came from an ancestor as apes though.

 

When did the confusion between arise that Homo and Australopithecine were associated and one after the other in a direct evolutionary path? When does a 6 million year old Monkey/Gorilla skull equate to a Homo species. Some say the Molars and the Canines are the telling trait, but both species have/had them. Louis Leakey and Raymond Dart each found evidence. But, I fear the interpretation of one or each may be incorrect.

There is a disconnect somewhere and I fear the search for the proverbial 'Missing Link' will prove to be beyond our current thought capabilities and accepted scientific disciplines.

is this one of them creationism vs evolution threads?
Lots of things evolve, but the heavens and earth and Adam and Eve were created by God, and then they multiplied and bore children who bore children

It's all Old Testament for those who have faith, can't be proven, but I believe it

 

But this is what I don't get.

Ievolution is real, so did got just blow dust and "poof", Adam came about out of nowhere. Or did Adam evolve? because if he did, who would his parents be and how did they die without sin?

 

That's why they call it the "Theory" of Evolution...certainly no facts that I have ever seen to back it up. Most of the research is done in reverse- the scientists concocted the "theory" and have spent 100+ years trying to back into and create the proof that we evolved from apes/!

 

God created Adam out of dust......sounds like a science fiction doesn't it....

it gets better.....he created Eve from Adams rib !!

How did God create light? The heavens? It's pretty deep and requires a fundamental belief in a power greater than ourselves. It is something that cannot be learned or taught, it happens to you.

My vocabulary is not large enought to explain it, but in the end, it only matters to me anyways, no no explanation is needed. I have my proof in my heart and soul. I'll keep it there until it is called upon.

When I was young and bulletproof, I had many of the same questions and thoughts. Several life changing events, and faith testing situations have matured me. They will come to you if you're as lucky as I am. It, the belief and the faith, is a gift. You cannot buy it, learn it, steal it, or be taught.

When ready, it will happen.

 

Ok,

Scientific fact is something that can be observed
Scientific Theory is something to explain HOW the thing that is the fact?

evolution, is a fact.

the theory of evolution is HOW evolution happens and came about. Not IF evolution actually happened

 

Why is it so hard to think that a entity that has created all the universes etc coudnt mold a little dirt into a human? and why do you have to take it as been a literal interpritation of what might have happend? Today we can clone things from cells now you dont dispute that do you? so who is to say that the bible is not saying the same thing after all it says we are made in his image, but just maybe they did not have the words for cloning or cell manipulation back then so used metaphors that would be understood by the population of that time.

 

But this is just your assumption, am I correct?

Better yet, ponder this, a God created humans of all flavours and persuasions, giving us wonderous individuals like Pope Aidan to entertain us.

He is the Pope, he is the next closest to God. He condemns others to hell, he has the POWER. All hail Caesar, whoopsie, I mean Pope Aidan.

 

Well, I guess that explains the reason why some have dirt for brains. Like our poor little misbegotten little Kiwi wannabee that effluents forth his travails against Romanism, murderous Maoris, and others all hell bound no doubt.

 

David,
Do us all a favour - GROW A BRAIN!

Aidan.

 

Well at least it is not spoiled cow dung like a certain bigotted Kiwi.
