about creation?

Question

what about dinosaurs and human like fossils
How come we can get a hybrid of tigers and lions, zebras and donkeys....
how come man and chimps have simmilarities in genes or something
how come animals of same or similar species are in differant parts of the world
if the earth is new wouldnt it have been over populated when it was created

Answer 1

If you want to be really picky about the whole genetic thing, humans have a lot of genetic material in common with bananas. DNA is interesting.

I suggest a course in biology for you. I think it would help a lot of your questions.

Answer 2

Fossils-Many fossils are found in several or even all the layers. And only the "index fossil" evo-idea ... is a way they date the layers using the creatures.
But hey, there are no brachiopod fossils above the Permian layer (evo-date 250Mya). But ... they live in the sea today.
There are no coelacanth fossils "younger" than 90Mya.
But ... they live today in the Indian Ocean. If brachiopod clams and coelacanth fish have been around all this time ... then why do we only find "deep" fossils of them, and none near the surface??
Because ... they lived in deep places at the time of the Flood, so ... they were buried in deep places. If your world would flood today, what would be at the bottom of the stack of sediments? Bacteria live in the deepest-sea muds. And they are also in every single other layer. Next higher would be fish in the water, then amphibians between, then reptiles and all higher up -- which is just what we do see ... in the fossil record of the Flood of Noah.

Hybrids- there are "li-gers" -- the lion-tiger mix! There are also whale-dolphins (wholphins). And now, a "pizzly" has been found in the wild (polar-grizzly bear mix)! What's this got to do with Creation? Plenty.
People ask how Noah could fit two of everything on the Ark. Taking baby animals (like dino-hatchlings) would help. But, if today's breeds came from genetic drift after the Flood, and not from "new" genes "evolving" ... then Noah didn't take as many animals as we thought !!
What if lions and tigers are the same thing (what Genesis calls the same "kind")? Creationist Kurt Wise developed this branch of genetics, called Baraminology (hebrew, bara = "create" and min = "kind"). This just leaves the evo's out in the woods worrying if Genesis is better than Darwin, at explaining all the different kinds of ... Lions and Dolphins and Bears! Oh my !

chimps vs. man- 'Ever notice the hair patterns of chimps? Their armpits are nearly bald ... as are the male faces. Male apes have bald chests and hairy bodies. This is exactly backwards from humans. If Werewolf Syndrome was from evolution ... wouldn't the hair patterns ... be the same as ... apes and chimps?! Instead WWS makes terminal hairs grow ... from every part of the skin.

Hope this helps with some of your questions.

Answer 3

Creationist still believe that God created the world in seven days, and that man was his final creation.
However, some also believe, myself amongst them, that the bible was a book to explain very complicated concepts, like life, to a largely uneducated population and put it into ideas they might be able to understand. Although not altogether accurate, it gave simple answers to the masses, to explain things science had yet to figure out.
Darwinism came about in this century along with advanced scientific research and a much more intelligent population. Darwin felt that man could now explain and understand evolution. For the most part he was correct, but there are those who will not accept any concept that isn’t stated in the bible as accurate. These are the ones who refuse to understand anything that states another point of view than their own, so they shut out evidence that might put a hole in their belief structure.
I have a friend who believes that God created the world with a past, and planted the dinosaur bones to test peoples faith. Let’s just say we will never see eye to eye on that one.
Although Darwin may have gotten a few things wrong. The natural progression of the universe, and world with selective evolution is not only more believable but much more provable with today’s technology.
How could anyone explain selective evolution or the universe to people who thought the world was flat.
Remember in the time of the Greeks one would fall off the Earth before ever coming to America. That view stood unchallenged for centuries, although the who’s and why’s were thrown back and forth for centuries as well.
Christ came to tell us to love one another, and we spent the last two thousand years killing each other on how he said it.
More damage is done over translation than any other cause.
Love is a pretty good stand alone word, but can also be corrupted by those who think they have the only right way to express it. This two becomes subjective. You can’t teach anyone who has all the answers anything. Those who disagree with their meaning of love, or what they perceive as God’s love, or even love in general, become the enemy.
There is an old saying “When you become obsessed with the enemy, you become the enemy.” When one opposes others views or opinions, one becomes ruled by his own views and opinions, right or wrong.
Man wrote the bible, but God created the big bang and all that came after. For some, trying to find answers to the why’s is hearsay. But a faith that can’t stand up to a few answers isn’t a faith at all.
Dinosaurs ruled the Earth for millions of years and to deny them takes a special sort of oversight. One I hope I never acquire.

Those are excellent questions! And while no form of science can answer questions about where we have come from, both creation and evolution offer scientific interpretations of the evidence we DO have.

I would recommend that you think twice about any statement that says that evolution is science and that creation is not. As an engineer with a strong scientific background, I believe they are on equal footing as far as science is concerned. I wouldn't consider either to be purely science. In my opinion they are both a set of beliefs about the origin of life that USE science to support their belief. I have heard many arguments for both sides, and each side has its fair share of laughably bogus theories as well as some solid arguments.

A good scientist will look at both sides (especially when neither offer testable scientific theories) before making up their mind. Dismissing one or the other off hand just because you disagree with the principle behind the theory is about as far from scientific as you can get. I would say that for someone to dismiss creationism as bunk just because it involves "God" is a religious decision. Just as I would say someone dismissing evolution because it doesn't include God is also a religious decision.

While you're answering these questions, it is undeniable that for many people, religion will play a part of the decision. However, I would encourage you to try to evaluate the scientific aspects apart from any religious bias. After doing this for myself, I feel that logically and scientifically, creationism makes more sense. Note that I did not say that it answers all the questions or that it debunks evolution... I just said that it makes more sense. Once you make such a determination for yourself, I believe that your religious beliefs will either be challenged or will reinforce your conclusion and help fill in some of the answers.

I would recommend that you take a look at the sites below, which offer excellent answers by some of the top creation scientists. Hope that helps.

Answer 5

1. That shows Dinosaurs and human like things existed once.
2. We can get hybrid of any thing as the science is developed to that extent as of now.
3. There are thoeries, Darwin suppose that man is descendant of those species.
4. It shows all the world is same.
5. It is not created in one day. Everything was an evolution over 100s of 1000s of millions of years.
6. Any one individual is not even a drop of water of the ocean.

Answer 6

The existance of dinosaurs only becomes a problem for the "young earth creationists," not the rest.

Animals are simliar in ways no doubt about it. It is true that the human genome has shared traits to primates that seem to suggest evolution. But what is DNA? It is simply information. God probably sat sometime before creation and devised the design of all physics and biology in Heaven before he ever created it. And when he did create it, he was already creating things for which he had a design. That is probably why there appears to be a vague pattern of evolution, and also why the key pieces of evidence continue to elude mankind. Naturalistic scientists, who by philosophical virtue, continue to try and fail to make evolutionary models that dont fit the evidence. Its a pitty theyre wasting time and money trying to further their own atheistic philosophy instead of truly helping mankind. Like making hydrogen fuel cell technology cheaper, or feeding the hungry, or even making a toaster that doesnt burn toast.

Answer 7

i'm sure a lot of things have similarities in their genes. you could probably make a chain of animals....like a giraffe has this in common with a horse, which has this in common with a bull, which has this in common with an elephant, which has this in common with a hippo, which has this in common with an alligator and so on, and so on...when you're done, would you say that alligators are CLOSELY related to giraffes?

fossils...okay, sure, things get fossilized. and carbon-14 dating is only accurate to maybe 100,000 years....what's the question anyway?

now...you want to get on to breeding and species. okay, now we can talk. yes, this happens. it's not the same thing as macro-evolution. you can cross-breed whatever you like. (or whatever you can get to do this) but Evolution (with a capitol E) suggests that, zebras might have over time, just changed into tigers. (obviously this is just an example) or...monkeys just changed into people. what i'm suggesting here might also help explain how noah could get 2 of every "kind" of animal on the ark. let's say, instead of 2 dobermans and 2 dalmations, he gathered up 2 dogs.

similar species in different parts of the world. well, a continental divide and shift likely took place at some point. like, how did the devils get on tasmania?

the earth is pretty old, let me say. maybe not as old as everyone thinks. how would we know? no, it wasn't overpopulated when it was created.

Answer 8

God did make the dinosaurs & all the other animals. how creative is God, twink a gene & you get a chimp instead. we are all created relational beings designed by a creator, that why we have dream, aspiration & want to better yourself, striving to be like God (just like Data the andriod in Star Trek trying to be more human). if we were randomly evolved entities (evolution slime) we should have no aspiration, randomly let things happen & do nothing. no reason to feel we want to successful or better. better for what ! is just a randomly roll of the dice.

Answer 9

The dinosours were referred to as the beast of the earth.

Genesis 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

You dont realize just how large the earth really is. God made all those things that you posted. It doesn't matter if scientists turned out hybrid animals. Those hybrids do not live as long as regular animals because God is showing those scientists that they cannot out do God. That they will always fail when they try. Just like the cloning of animals. They die shortly after they are born. It is God's way of shoing them their limitations.

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding

Answer 10

Well, if you read the old testament, you might be quite surprised to find out that god's creation of the world goes accordingly with the theories of evolution. Sound crazy, and I'm an Atheist! It actually also states that god made huge monsters (dinosaurs). It could be that throughout history, the bible was manipulated so that it went with the "times". Dinosaurs' bones in my opinion have to have been discovered hundreds of years ago, just never acknowledged.
