Bob Knopf/Creation Science Netwk replied to Mary Catherine Clark's discussion 'Creation Through Natural Selection'"Important to any discussion of evolution is that evolutionist's primarily believe that the changes from one form to another were accomplished mainly by mutation. Does mutation see like the plan of an Almighty God? I think not. Plus, Scripture…"
Jim Brenneman replied to Mary Catherine Clark's discussion 'Creation Through Natural Selection'"The Bible says that what God did was very good, not a series of fits and starts.
Agreeing with FM Russell, I would point out the pun of those who adhere to "full blown evolution" (they attempt to make it parallel and equal to divinely…"
Francis M Russell replied to Mary Catherine Clark's discussion 'Creation Through Natural Selection'"Mary, concerning your comments about the geocentric vs heliocentric views of Christians throughout history, I believe Brian and David have answered adequately and concisely.
You said:”However, the theory of natural selection does imply, as you…"
David Thomas Posey replied to Mary Catherine Clark's discussion 'Creation Through Natural Selection'"About the geocentric/heliocentric model: Brian expressed his argument well, and I see no reason to disagree with him. However, one could also argue scientifically (based on the theory of relativity) that the entire universe does revolve around…"
Justin Mooney replied to Mary Catherine Clark's discussion 'Creation Through Natural Selection'"Regarding the genre of Genesis 1:
There is actually a great deal of similarity when comparing Genesis 1 to other obviously historical books like Chronicles and Kings. For example, a statistical analysis of the number of preterite verbs in…"
Jim Brenneman replied to Mary Catherine Clark's discussion 'Creation Through Natural Selection'"Why is this dangerous?
Why is it not rather "dangerous" to propose that Christianity must go hand in hand with uniformitarian/Darwinist mindset in order to be a true honest thinking Christian? However, I would assert that throughout this…"
Ralph Thurlow replied to Mary Catherine Clark's discussion 'Creation Through Natural Selection'"MARY,
You obviously believe God created the universe.
Two questions:
1. Did He create it for a purpose?
2. If so, is mankind the centre of that purpose?

Brian Guiley replied to Mary Catherine Clark's discussion 'Creation Through Natural Selection'"The problem with this statement is that you are inferring the Bible to be the work of men, and thus influenced by their impressions and mistaken understandings of the day, and not the work of God, a God who cannot lie, and cannot be deceived, and…"
Dena Sheppard-Madden replied to Mary Catherine Clark's discussion 'Creation Through Natural Selection'" "Keep in mind though, that everyone and everything, save our current population, has died also."
There is an approximately 100% death rate throughout history, but that has included a range of life expectancy from…"
Lou Hamby replied to Mary Catherine Clark's discussion 'Creation Through Natural Selection'"I believe it is a grave mistake (pun not intended) to use current knowledge to understand the Bible.
Francis--
Do you disregard Intelligent Design, your AIG site is full of scientific current knowledge articles. How about biblical…"
Francis M Russell replied to Mary Catherine Clark's discussion 'Creation Through Natural Selection'"Mary, I am glad that we share the same belief that God is the creator. You have made some assertions based on incorrect facts, some of which Bob has pointed out. There are other areas that I will contest later but for now I think it is understanding…"
Bob Knopf/Creation Science Netwk replied to Mary Catherine Clark's discussion 'Creation Through Natural Selection'"Mary, From your post, there are so many things on which to comment. There are a few incorrect statements, that you have stated as fact.
One: A flat earth is not implied in the Bible. If you understood quantum physics you'd…"
Mary Catherine Clark replied to Mary Catherine Clark's discussion 'Creation Through Natural Selection'"Wow, a lot of great discussion going on here the last few days! I have just a few points of response to some of the comments.
Jim and others commenting on the genre of Genesis 1 and 2, I would like to throw in my two cents. There…"
Lou Hamby replied to Mary Catherine Clark's discussion 'Creation Through Natural Selection'"Dena -- What solution could or would their be, you can't mix oil and water together, your assessment above was rightly spoken, agreed, the implication of evolution is insidious......cheers!"
Dena Sheppard-Madden replied to Mary Catherine Clark's discussion 'Creation Through Natural Selection'"If Darwin is right, then what god is there with which to worship/relate? Evolution is the process of "changing the gene frequency of a population over time" (High School text definition of evolution) by means of natural selection. Nature…"
