Answer 1

duh

Answer 2

Evolution...evolution! Alright I will tell you something about evolution. They say human life has been on the earth for 2 million years right? Before that we were fish and monkeys...but apparently the first stage of humanity was 2 million years ago and we have evolved through like 12 stages in those 2 million years. We have 'adapted' to our environments in time.

I say that is bullcrap and here is why. If we evolved to suit our needs, we grew more fingers to help us hold stuff better or we grew more toes to balance better then wouldn't we still be evolving now days. In the last 5000 frikin years there has been no record of mankind physically changing greatly. If humans could evolve 12 stages in 2 million years to suit them better, in 5000 years wouldn't humans have started growing wings to fly, or gills to live underwater.

Why all of a sudden is there a stop in our evolution. No. I believe we didn't evolve. Someone put us here.

Say you were walking down a road and you came across a bunch of coins scattered all over the place. You would think 'someone has chucked or dropped this money.'
Now say you were walking down the same road and you saw the same coins lined perfectly in straight line. You would know that someone did that on purpose. (No coins are going to drop in a perfect line.)

Look at our world. Humans exist and need air to breathe. Air is made by trees. Trees fed by sunlight and water. Water produced by the clouds which get moisture from the earth's condensation. It all fits in a line made straight. Is it all by accident? Highly doubtful. If nothing worked like this then it could be by accident but then you and me wouldn't even be here asking and answering these questions.

I hope I have helped. In Jesus name. Amen.

Answer 3

probably I should not be bowled over by utilising this question. on a regular basis somebody asks "If monkeys greater suitable into human beings why are there even nonetheless monkeys?" and "If evolution is slightly an concept, why are you so valuable?" interior the cutting-edge we've the two questions in one. Mary, i circulate to purpose to respond to this respectfully, I convey regret forward if that's obtainable contained in the time of as condescending. out of your short question it particularly is thoroughly obtrusive you have little or no technologies training. I or every physique else right here won't have the skill to coach you what you ought to be responsive to indoors the time and section obtainable right here. some college-element classes in biology or an comparable field will prepare you that your questions are thoroughly off base. good fulfillment. P.S. - i substitute into going to declare extreme college-element technologies, yet some extreme faculties won't touch the evolution/creation controversy with a 10 foot pole.

Answer 4

1. God is the creator, not a creature, so that's impossible.

2. Jonah was not a fish, but a man.

3. Moses was not egyptian.

Answer 5

Bad logic.

God could have used the monkey (evolution) to create man in his image. That doesn't mean that God's origin are simean.

A simple analogy. You create a drawing of yourself. You use paper and pencil. You could have made a bust of clay, or a carving of wood, or paint. But you choose a particular medium with which to create your self image. Does that mean that YOU are made of paper and lead? Of course not, that is just the medium you began with to create something in your image.

Evolution is still taking place. Humans live longer, grow taller, get smarter. We develop tolerances for disease, environment, and food sources. Even Creationists must admit that the variety of human races on earth today could not have come from Adam and Eve. They came from evolutions after Adam and Eve, in response to environment and need.

Answer 6

Man's eternal spirit was made in the image of God, not his flesh. This makes sense because God is not a man or woman, but what could best be described as Living Mind not bound to a physical, earthly presence. We are but tiny sparks, spun off from the Greater Fire, which is God.

Answer 7

How about this.

Humans and all other forms of life cam about as evolution. I take this as a fact.

Now somehow the energy that is in life forms when that form dies doesn't always just dissapate. what if that energy starts it's own life, something that we cant see. And being energy it is totally maleable. Maybe it can be absorbed in to another life forrm, or combined with other bits of energy. Over a few hundred million years that energy itself could evolve. Maybe as gods, spirits, ghosts, different supernatural beings that have been described in just about evey culture.

Answer 8

Dunno about u guys, but Muslims say that god existed before even time itself and that he made everything in 7 days. then he made the first life in water, and he created different things at different times. Humans weren't the 1st thing on Earth. Neither were dinosaurs. No offense, but Jesus was a human prophet, not god. He wasn't killed, it was Judas. God changed Judas's face to look like he was Jesus when he went inside Jesus's house and right b4 that, he brought Jesus up to heaven so he could come again. It was Judas they killed. And about the Moses thing, he was a prophet not an egyptian pharaoh.

Answer 9

First off, Moses was adopted and never became pharoah. Monkeys, considering some people today, could you blame God if He were to suggest that maybe the monkeys are closer to His image than many of the people?

Answer 10

See the Planet of the Apes movies. Drop Charlton Heston a line or two. These days I bet he doesn't hear from anybody. Write to the Cairo Chamber of Commerce. Was it with you, man? C'mon get with it. Never mind taking chances at the post office buying a stamp, do it!!!

Answer 11

Obviously the day before July 4th is National God Bashing Day.

Sad. Why do atheists feel the need to say such things? Does it make them feel better about themselves to ridicule those who have faith in a Divine Creator? Why is that so bad? Why does it bother you so much if some of us still believe in the Almighty?
