If evolution is true,why are there seeds?

Why do the largest seeds produce the smallest fruit and smalest seeds produce the largest fruit?

If you say evolution had to provide a way to feed life?Evolution is a theory;kind of an inanimate thing,and to say evolution had to do this that and other thing; your giving evolution a living and intelligent quality wich can't be true;cause evolution it's self is not alive.Which makes more sense?It just evolved or a creator knew to provide sustinance for the life He created?

Would it not make sense that bigger fruit should have bigger seed?And vise versa?But it's not like that.Why?

Mustard seed is the smallest seed,yet it produces a large tree,watermelons are a big fruit but also have small seeds.Peaches are a small fruit but have big seeds.Apples and oranges are descent sized,but they also have some small seeds.

Is it just me,or is there something wrong with evolution?

I do not think that a belief system requires a "religion".
I do think every religion has truth to it, but because mans nature is to make it "personal", that all "religions" have added points, doctrines,traditions, and belief structures that make them personalized.
That is why, now, there are churches breaking off from their "parent" affiliations.
Be it gay propositions, idolatry recognitions, or Papacy influences.
Try not to judge another based on your own understanding.
Just understand your judgement to your needs.

WHAT SAY YOU?

My husband was brought up Methodist. I was brought up Baptist, not the southern Baptist. The church I was brought up in is more laid back. Neither of us have been to church since we were little. He is in the military and was stationed out in Colorado for a year. We tried going to a Methodist church, because he refused a Baptist one. I honestly didn't care which one we went to, as long as we went and our girls, 5 and 2, had a good program to go into. We tried a Methodist church, but I didn't understand their beliefs and my husband was no help. Once I moved home, my husband is deployed again overseas, I started having anxiety attacks and my youngest daughter was having these raging crying fits, missing her dad. I talked to my mom about it and started looking for a church. We found a Baptish church. Come to find out we know a few people that go there and I have been happy ever since. Problem is, how do I get my husband to go when he gets home? The girls love it there.

There is a big difference between positively believing that a thing does not exist, and simply lacking belief in it's existence. In many cases, atheists will say "That God does not exist", not because they choose to do so, but because, from the description of the God, it cannot exist due to contradictory attributes. In the same way that a square circle cannot (and therefore does not) exist, a God defined as (for example) all-knowing, yet cannot see into the future, cannot and does not exist because the definition is self-contradictory. If you describe your God with self-contradicting attributes which make it logically impossible, then I may safely say that such a thing does not exist as described. This is not faith - this is reason.

Of the 12 major religions (baha'i, buddhism, christianity, confucianism, hinduism, islam, jainism, judaism, shinto, sikhism, daoism, zoroastrianism), why did you choose your religion? The number or names of the 12 major religions do not matter, as there are about 4200 religions worldwide. What reasons to choose your religion vs the 4199 others? Was your choice even based on independent inquiry? Did you spend more time deciding which religion to choose than what major to take in college or what car to buy? Was your choice really just a matter of implicit acceptance? Do you believe the religion you choose is important, or is it enough to simply accept what was around you?

And why do honest, hard working Atheists not have the right to rest in peace when they die (according to the bible)

...AND also beleive that they are right no mater who tells them other wise and you can have £1,000,000. BUT, even if you do follow their word to the letter yet don't believe this person is right, you will be locked away in a cupboard for the rest of your life with nothing. Just because of a belief.

This person would be arrested and imprisoned for abuse. They would be condemned by sosiety and be a hated figure.

Yet it's ok for God to do this?

Makes no sense to me.

I love my children unconditionally…I don’t require them to worship me.

I don’t choose favorites…I wouldn’t reveal myself to some, but not others

If one of my children ate an apple after I told them not to…I wouldn’t punish my grandchildren and every generation thereafter

If I someone was harming my children (Satan), and I had the power to stop him, I would stop him.

I would forgive all of my children for any deed. They wouldn’t even need to ask.

I believe there is no religion without love. You can talk about it all you want, but if it doesn’t teach you to be kind and generous to ALL living things, it’s a sham.

Freewill is the foundation of religion and much easier to disprove. Once you realize freewill is an illusion, your vision of Hell and judgment falls apart. And I don't mean freewill as the ability to choose but instead the accountability of your choices. You see a man cannot choose what he learns because he does not choose his environment. A man cannot will himself to want. He cannot choose what he desires. There are so many extenuating circumstance of which we have no control over that decide our personalities.

If Christmas is the day we use to observe Christ's birthday, what do you give him? After all, he has everything and you can't physically hand him a wrapped gift. So what are some gift ideas for Jesus?

2006-12-22 02:54:53 · 27 answers · asked by Searcher 7

Instead, they chose to celebrate your birthday on the day your worst enemy chose for you. Instead of giving you what you want they choose to give each other gifts because it makes them happy. How would you feel? Jesus was not born on December 25th and yes I can prove it. That day celebrates the winter soltice or a false god, the god of the Sun. Jesus asks only that we remember what he died for, so that we might live, but instead people chose to celebrate what he was born for and that was to die. If you are truley Christian, celebrate his death, he asked that we do that when he said at his last supper "keep doing this in remembrance of me". I love Jesus for all he's done for me, I will honor him in a way that pleases him and his father.
