If Evolution is false, why do we talk about 'Flesh and Blood' and things 'Running in Families'???

Question

I know people who are VERY religious who always treat their families better than they treat strangers....because their families are their 'flesh and blood'. Isn't that just another way of saying that their kin carry their genes???

These people also admit that things like hair color, diseases, personality types, etc run in families. Why would God lump stuff like this in families and not spread it around evenly???

Answer 1

Speaking as someone who believes in evolution, I think a lot of people who disbelieve in evolution don't know enough about it (or about science for that matter) to realize that heredity and genetic variation in the population are some of the major factors in causing species to evolve. Its too obvious to anyone looking at their kids and saying "he has your eyes but my smile" to ignore that our families share traits so that part is accepted by most people, but I think its a much bigger leap to accept that our whole species shares traits with others and that we are related to them. Maybe if people had a better understanding of how science works and the staggering amount of evidence in support of evolution they'd be more comfortable in abandoning the idea we came from a dirt clod that was formed into Adam and his rib Eve.

Answer 2

God has always intended that we be individuals---he has never intended that we be clones. God has always cherished the family unit, and that is why he introduced the institution of marriage with the creation of Adam and Eve. The institution of marriage is the foundation for the other three human institutions: human government, the church and business. As each family is unique and continues to change at the same time as it grows, so does the same apply to governments, churches and businesses. The family is the core of everything that is supposed to be important to us, including our spiritual life. It is a sad thing that the family is disintegrating in English speaking countries. This results in a falling away of a culture rich in God's Spirit. May the Lord save us all from destroying ourselves through neglect of ourselves. Jesus loves you.

Answer 3

You're not going to get an intelligent response from evolution deniers.

You can't have an intelligent conversation with people who have chosen superstition over reality.

You'd have as much luck trying to convince UFO nuts that aliens don't abduct 1000 trailer-park Bubbas every year.

Answer 4

it is going to take longer than 2 hours for: a million. a individual to learn all the data for the concept of evolution, technique it, and be sure it to be fake. 2. a individual to envision each and every of ways during the Bible, technique it, and be sure it to be fake. the two components are rather rapid to decide on occasion. It took me 17 years to be sure the place I stand.

Answer 5

What does that have to do with evolution?? Variation in a specie is true, that has nothing to do with macro-evolution!

God created different language at Babel which lead to different nationalities!

Answer 6

for one, you're talking about a different 'evolution' so to speak. the evolution that is said to be false is referring to one creature becoming something entirely different over time......ape to man for instance. what you're talking about is merely genetic traits....nothing evolved about it.....and secondly, God did not create disease. Disease was a result of the fall of man. Creation through God was perfect.

Answer 7

Christians also believe we're all children of Adam and Eve. Wouldn't mean genes don't exist though...

Answer 8

I don't believe that one species can evolve into ANOTHER species.

That is not to say that the laws of genetics WITHIN a particular species are no good.

I believe most creationists would go along with this.

Answer 9

Because he wanted people to share traits. Why argue with God? Let him do what he wants!

Answer 10

because flash and blood and families is part of the design
