Good question for Nickie to answer.

So are you saying that only PhD's in Christian theology or ordained ministers may talk about the Bible?

Steve, The theory of evolution is a theory of how God created the various species of the planet. Do you really believe that God said abra cadabra, and different species appeared? God gave you a brain. I think its time that you used it.

"The theory of evolution is a theory of how God created the various species of the planet." - saltwind 78
salty; At least you are aware that God took some time in putting this together.

Read the article, thank you for the effort; however in the statement "A descendant species can split again and again" maybe with the same DNA seems that would not evolve to ape and does not answer whom is the ancestor? As in ape or man since ape is closest to man still doe's not explain Darwins Theory. If man stays within it's own DNA species how would it be possible to progress as an ape? I'll give my summation which is; Man would have to mate with ape and possible after all, from the beginning man has mated with other species but not the closest to man that would evolve to ape and we are talking from the bibles writings man came first !! Creationism or Evolution ??????

Any new idea's pertaining to this topic ? would be interested in another's opinion !

I'm not sure which topic you are wanting opinions on. Was it your previous comment quoted above, or the topic of this thread? Or was it saltwind's post, "The theory of evolution is a theory of how God created the various species of the planet."?

If it was the later, your previous post makes me think you understood saltwind to be saying "God created Adam and Eve, then all species evolved from them." I am almost positive that this is not what saltwind meant. I'm fairly sure saltwind was saying:

God created the universe and through the natural processes in the universe life was created (came into existence) and through the process of evolution by natural selection all the species we see were created (came into existence).

I thought I was replying to your post but mostly on the topic and believe in Creationism :

I can see how people have different concepts of God, and thus different religions.
BUT; how anyone discounts creative intelligence, is beyond me.
There must be something beyond ignorance and stupidity for that.

Given that, I think you were asking about my Jan. 30 post where I referred to this:

Below I will try to respond to the questions you posed.

Children do not have the same DNA as a parent. The following wikipedia article talks about common ancestors.

I understand you to be saying:
The bible says man was created first. Therefore...man mated with other species (?)...but not the species closest to man that would evolve to ape (?)...so how could Darwin's theory be correct.

Darwin's theory does not assume man came first and does not rely on the writing in the bible.

I would suggest that curiosity and imagination might account for why one might not give too much credence to "Intelligent Design Theory".

geurma,geurma,geurma!!!
I see your point!
I see your pointed little head!
Germs, germs, germs.
They just might be in your back ground.

Poly wogs given a whole lot of time; are not going to design and produce micro chips, or anything else for that matter.

Judging by your reply, I have to say, I do not think you understood the point of my post about curiosity and imagination. But I must admit that without further explanation it was rather obscure, ambiguous and overly broad.

But as to my "pointed little head", on close examination, I could find absolutely no points. Even the most pointed part, my nose, ends in a hemisphere with diameter of about 3/4". And as to being little, I have been told many times that I have a big head. But enough on that.

Curiosity leads one to observe and seek understandings of the world about.
One is told, God created man and all the creatures.
Curiosity leads one to wonder when and how.
Study reveals the past existence of creatures unlike any alive today.
One observes animal breeders, through selective breeding, develop creatures with new characteristics.
One wonders if God could have created the creatures we see about us by selective breeding of those creatures that no longer exist.
One wonders how God might have selected the creatures to breed.
One wonders if God could set up a breeding pen that automatically selected which creatures would breed.
One wonders if the world about us is such a breeding pen.

No problem with wondering acknowledgeurma.
You make some points worth wondering about.
But you think poly-wogs (early species) given a whole lot of time would develop the intelligence of Homo Sapiens. Even monkeys? Homo Sapiens are in a class by themselves. Both good and bad.

BTW; I do not think you have a pointy head. Just having some fun
