No, it's not deja vu. I'm asking this again because some utter jackass got the last one deleted.

My challenge again is: come up with a theory which actually explains HOW God created life. It must explain everything which Darwinian evolution explains (i.e. diversity, complexity, competitive interactions etc.).

I'm not asking this to offend you, I'm asking it to make you think about what you're saying when you bash evolution, and hopefully make you see the problems inherent in creationism.

Feel free to pass this challenge on as well, by the way. I'm sure Kent Hovind would get a kick out of it.

Genesis 1
The History of Creation
"1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was[a] on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 Then God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” 7 Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
11 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 13 So the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. 16 Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. 17 God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 Then God said, “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.” 21 So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23 So the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so. 25 And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all[b] the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
29 And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. 30 Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food”; and it was so. 31 Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day."

No "missing links." No disputable fossils. No puzzlement about how the very first unicellular life form created itself out of non-living components (as if THAT was possible, which it isn't, and is the HUGEST gap in the "theory" of evolution). Just ... simply ... GOD.

Peace.

I believe creation. It is not that I have scientific proof that this is correct, rather, I don't have a strong enough faith to believe otherwise. The chances for evolution to take place is so small our minds cannot even comprehend the number. So much evidence is out there to disprove evolution that creation is the only possible alternative. If you do not think any of this evidence exists, you have research hard enough. Also may I add that Darwin did not prove anything about evolution. Scientists have come up with dozens of theories of how the world came to be and, after more research, determines that can't be, therefore having to think up new possibilities. Such basic principles such as "life can not come from no life" and "something can not come from nothing" make evolution absurd (in my opinion). One last thing: scientists have now determined that for the universe to function as is it must have been put into its current place in a fraction of a second's time. This theory sounds a lot like, "God said let there be..."

For an explaination of how God created refer to the Bible, the book of Genisis.

This doesn't give the detailed scientific explanation that many desire but it does esablish that creation was intelligently designed.

More and more scientific data is confirming that creation could not have happened by chance. The variables that are being discovered are two detailed and reliante on such a fine tuning that chance is not a logical explanation. For example science has proven that the slightes variance in our gravity would cause the distruction of life as we know it. There is a huge list of variable that work together to maintain our gravity field. This leaves researchers scratching their heads as to explain how this could have happened on its own.

Evolutionist on the other hand, have failed to turn up any tangible evidence to support there "theory" yet it is taught in schools as the truth. How many more years are going to be wasted looking for the missing link. It's missing because it isn't there and never will be.

I strongly encourage you to read Lee Strobels book, "A Case For A Creator". It's not filled with a bunch of "religion". It's filled with scientic data from the greatest minds of our world. Read it and research it. I'd be interested to hear what you think.

There are too many annual layers on the Greenland and Antarctic ice shields. Terrestrial animals are got here across previous huge bodies of water. The distribution of species does no longer stick to a trend radiating out from the midsection East. between the slowest land animals, the sloth which strikes a million.2 miles according to hour, is got here across basically in South u . s .. The kinds of terrestrial animals, interior the specified parts, exceed the quantity of the ark. Geologic formations ought to no longer be formed from immediately deposited sediments. there's a extra physically powerful proportion of lighter deliver approximately denser uranium in deeper rocks. Above the layers that incorporate dinosaurs is a layer wealthy in iridium, between the densest aspects.

I am not sure of what you mean by diversity.
I will take a guess. God made animals (and plants) so that when two of the same kind breed together they can create a new breed. If 2 types of dogs breed they may start a new breed. (same idea with plants).

What does complexity prove? God is more complex than we can imagine, He even created a physical dimension and time.

Competitive interactions (survival of the fittest?). Because of man's sin the world it self has had to suffer. It was not so in the beginning, not until after the flood.

GEN 2:7
And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

I challenge you to come up with an evolutionary theory that explains how life was created?

Genesis 2:18-19. To paraphrase: Adam was lonely so Elohim (that's "God") created animals to find Adam a help meet. Say Elohim created the nematode for Adam. Turned out to not be a good help meet. Now say Elohim created something slightly more complex, it turned out to not be a good help meet either. Say Elohim followed this pattern to the creation of apes (to the creation of the genus Homo). And they, too, turned out to not be such good help meets. So Elohim, for lonely Adam, created Eve (from his side, thus his other half). Genesis 3:17-19 explains harmful animals.

Yo, god made man out of dirt. He made woman from a man's rib.

Got that? It's that simple. And we're all descendants of these two people. Ok? How simple is that?

How can you believe in evolution? That we evolved from a lesser species over MILLIONS of years.. Puh-shah!? Right!

Don't you know this planet is only 6-10,000 years old? Dinosaurs were our pets! Didn't you watch the Flintstones?!

Well for one, use of vulgar language will have it deleted.

We believe what we beleive because we believe the Bible, if you don't believe then go about your business.

i believe in things supernatural, that is things not seen, Faith, you believe in things you can see, hear, touch, and feel, You need proof, facts, and evidence before you will believe. That is the difference between you and Christians who believe the Bible.

In His Holy and Precious Name, Jesus Christ
