it is amazing how we have been created. all we have to do is APPLY what is taught in Scriptures. i think this writer dale fletcher is onto something. very deep. the obesity which leads to chronic illness (hypertension, diabetes, cardia, vascular and on it goes) is as a result of a deeper, spiritual deficit...lacking relationship. WOW! great article. i look forward to our science to put it to the test. it would be interesting.

howdy ladies & gents. so glad to be back. my CP is black hence, couldn't 'read' the article but posts are visible and read through every single one. My oh my! creationism vs. evolution. so very interesting, isn't it. for over 100 years, worldwide, we had been indocrinated with such authoritative scientific 'evidence'. now our technology has caught up and (quite frankly) and is estoundingly 'proving' evolution, old earth is incorrect. we can go tit for tat about facts. what is the bottom line? ultimately, we are dealing with a huge stronghold in post-modern mentality. let us go softly, strongly accumulating truth - moment to moment, glory to glory. to share this beautiful knowledge of Christ eternal with others as we go.

oh my good Lord. when i was making dinner and heard this on the news i was completely aghast. mortified. how awful for this mans family to have endured his loss especially this way. how ugly. God help the man who committed this murder. pro life people are fully pro life. anti-abortion. anti-death penalty. anti-death...in any form. especially Christians who are pro-life. come on now. the movement is not an act of terror. and whoever made the comment that FACE should withstand to remove americans from their 'right' to assemble peacefully and freedom of speech...the civil rights movement had to face such ignorant ideas too!...but, the beat went on.....

Good evening gentlemen:

- DanielPaul; very nicely put concerning 'horizontal' type biblical explanation 'species within species'= 'kind after its kind'. re: 'Gap Theory'. alright. i understand it really came about in 1800s as an attempt to harmonize 'new geological science' with an 'old earth' posit. but, there may be a misinterpretation re: Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 (thinking there's a gap or two distinct creations?). one chapter has a 'macro-creation' perspective & two chapter i think is 'micro-creation' perspective. both however report the same one time event.
the 'young earth' prospect...not sure of, however i certainly am leaning in the direction of 'millions of years' being unsupported and false.

For Steven20 - thanks for your response. much appreciated. the 'propel' is not orbit around sun but our very own rotation 24 hours. this is where (near molton rock) a layer of water (steam) may course to give opposite action (energy) to create 'magneticsm'...geez, i'm not sure where this is going...little sci-fy? oh well. food for thought. as far as caves...okay. limestone = calicification = ancient seabed. some caves (like in Kenntucky) have granite. what about the granite core then huge sedimentary strata in grand canyon?

ifeelfine72 - howdy. i think the 'speciation' again is truly concerning adaptation / mututation. it just hasn't been proven 'new' species.

Daniel Paul - good question. compelling Bible study. of course however it doesn't 'state specific time frame' BUT, if taken in 'context' we understand the surrounding references to time as a common 24 hour day. are you elluding to the 'gap theory' yet another 'debate' between us?

Hi steven20 - more questions - what about the subterranean cave system all over the world? they are (obviously) not connected but it clearly points to a massive amount of fast moving underground water? did it move to the ocean? what? my science experience went as far as HS biology & college liberal arts (although A+ astronomy). now, as adult learner (home schooling mom, nursing/bio student) i'm so curious about it all.

Good morning Believer - wholeheartidly agree. allow 'critical thought' to engage the student.

Blessings to you Ifeelfine72 - reconsider what you said, 'online' and 'observed in the lab' - both can be directly 'intelligently' manipulated outcomes. i think the point for speciation = "new bio.species of 2 or more genetically distinct species" is at best highly tricky and quite involved process and WHERE in the 'natural world' unaffected or influenced by intelligent Man has this been found to occur outside of natural selection/mututation/adaptation?

-Hello NateS777 - your question is fun for thought. can you expand a little more on your line of thinking?

Hello Logic -most excellent references; 'uniformity' & 'good science follows the evidence'. Watch for Senate Bill 320: 'Science Ed. Academic Freedom Bill'

Hi Steven20 - here's an earth science question, the core is molten rock/mineral...could there also be a 'layer' of water heated to steam which would help to propel planet? where did all the water come from/go (ie. grand canyon) during the Deluge?

Morning, Michael - your comments 'respectable bio-teacher' and 'educated people'...listen, these folks have been indocrinated, like we all have, by academic professionals steeped in 'evo-aetheistic' worldview. It's already slanted and biased information. what more can i say.

Talltree 01 and BobTx - good morning gentlemen, thats EXACTLY my case in point, 'evolutionary' theory was just a 'theory' however 'professionally academic' it may appear. Evolution is intrinsically an 'aetheistic religion' which has 'used' science to find it's evidence. Today, brilliant scholars using modern technology are discovering something else. And, gentlemen, it points to a Divine Creator.

Wandaj961 - Beautifully put!
Joshua759 - Wholeheartily agree!

and adding as well, although I'm not to 'judge' this man whom our Lord has 'allowed' to rule over us for a season.
but, we're suppossed to be 'discerning' the truth of matters in this present life. the president has commented several times over past 12 months he 'is a christian' and 'church member'. okay. however, many of the laws which are in direct conflict with christian precepts have been overturned. now, right before us he's broken a '20 year'tradition of American Prayer with no
'representation' and clearly states, 'binds all great religions'.

i suspect this highly intelligent, academic person will eventually come to the full knowledge of Christ who is the 'author and finisher of our faith.' i trust the Lords hand IS upon our president, let's just hope he responds. now, this is what w'all can pray for.

what we see & hear does affect our thinking.

over time we've been so numbed (and dumbed down) it goes right back to the frog in the pot analogy where the frog doesn't recognize that it's boiling to death because it got 'used to' the slow rising heat. Amazing.

i love the fact that i'm here and now and have a choice to turn away from and not engage in, no matter how sweet or seductive it may be, the present condition of our culture. of course, it's not a full separation from this present condition. i seek Gods mercy and grace daily (renewing - not saving, which was done once, on the cross for time immemorium, and where i accepted once and it was 'finished').

Yes. This region of the world is called the '20/40 Window'. I understand from reading the 'Voice of the Martyr' magazine there is a tremendous amount of people becoming saved and starting grassroot churches. Hence, the aweful heightened activity of violence. I am so very sad for these people. But, their inner strength is most certainly drawn from our Savior. I'll continue to pray for this area.

Q. 11:57 -

We are on the same page as thoroughly taking delight in our magnificent Creator, who has designed all that we see, hear, touch, smell, taste and then some in such a way that our simple minds can comprehend discovery in the natural world.

A magnificent Creator, who has fully and perfectly illustrated all His ways for us to behold in the natural world.

An incomprehensable intelligence so far from our grasp of understanding who came to us as a llittle babe, in Christ, and grow among us, live like us, die for us, come alive for us, ascend for us and continue to pray for us...is awesome and beyond words.

Have a great day. And, don't stop asking.

For Viking:

Q.11:48 -

the fossil record as reported by a number of archeologist (of course, see Answersingenesis.org) has stated in various articles 'there appears to be no eco-system decay along with the dino-bones'.(The only plant life has been found in the stomachs, which again show a 'rapid cover' as in Deluge). Don't you find that curious? Of course, there are plenty of strata records of ancient dead plant life however, there are no bones along with it. Why? Surely, if a creature suddently died where it was standing amid the 'jungle forest' all else would be evident. But, it is not. So. what does this mean?

Can you point me in the direction of any studies which clearly prove this? How about you giving some credence to your assertions.

Does this sound like the 'Big Bang'theory? Again, Viking you are bringing foundational, evolutionary precepts to this conversation. It's 'bad science' with a worldview filter of agnosticism/aetheism/scepticsm. But hey, it's all we've had for a long time. Yet, the changes are on the horizon and we will be better people for it.

hi Viking -

Q.11:16 - I can not 'imagine' or 'envision' a Creator who basically lies. 'Evolution', as it has been taught to you and I and thousands of other people over the last 100 years worldwide, is in direct conflict with the assertions made by God as we know Him.

What more can I say to this statement?

Viking -

Q. 11:06 - okay: new information = 'additional' genetic stuff ie. DNA/RN =cell growth= something new

this again, is bottom line - in order for a creature to actually transform, transmutate, 'evolve' into another complete different species (which evolutionary theory asserts)...the existing cellular structures MUST gain new genetic coding to support the new systems. And, this just ain't so in the real world of science. It's never been proved in the fossile record, existing life, or in the lab. It just hasn't been done.

Q. 10:48 - Evolution = Darwin = agnostic 'theology student'(?)= fosters other academic 'pure aetheist' going ga-ga = evolutionary theory is directly in total & complete opposition to Biblical hx. of origin and sovereign God.

Good Morning klm68 -

'God is outside natural science'. Please reconsider this assertion. God, who created 'all' and who created us interested in 'natural science' is very much a part of this process of inquiry. He probably delights in our moment by moment discovery.

klm68 - in short, you questioned why we need 'faith vs. evidence'? well, over the last 100 years the evolutionary inquiry and assertions (however incorrect) have absolutely affected the 'faith'of hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. Misleading folks into believing instead of a divine creation humanity 'evolved' from pond scum to ape. Evolution is based on aetheism which is in itself a religion. This 'religion' has paved the way for secular humanism which we are witnessing today in all its glory? We have the honor to study the natural world under an organized inquiry called 'science'. And, today we have the mechanisms to refute ideological misconception of outdated pursuit (ie. evolution) to aspire to new heights of understanding. Isn't it awesome to consider the reality of a divine creator?

Hi klm68 -

again, i think you're wrong in your assumptions no matter how 'factual' you come forth you're still filtering your objections with a humanistic mindset. obviously you are educated in science. however, your learning is deeply imbedded within the concept of evolution as true science. it is not. and there have been plenty of qualified scholars in most fields of science now over the last 15 years who certainly explain line by line why evolutionary science false. i, am a layperson however well read and interested in this subject. i might also mention your reference to the 'carboniferous coal swamps' is a perfect illustration on how evolutionist will misconstrue and omit information to get 'their' point made....the coal swamps of course are present however fully devoid of any 'dino-bones' AND i might also say this ancient forest reflects a deluge in the way it's been 'frozen in time' amid rock. (see dr. henry morris and dr. ken ham)

I think 'believer' has made some wonderful assertions klm68 you must reconsider. the freedom to explore the finer detail of how this world (universe) works is our priviledge. what is the purpose? to expand our self awareness or to give honor to our Creator? the first leaves Mankind self absorbed and alone.where do we go from here? the latter, affords a deeper perspective with sense of humility and awe. i adore the study of 'science'
its fascinating to consider the reality of it all.
