The following, http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AvoyF7RSWwf4iOfcgLtt4XPsy6IX?qid=20070317095745AAfRZku deals with the chicken and the egg, sort of a disguised Evolution vs Creationism question, notice that some of the answers touched on Evolution and some touched on the Genesis creation story,

also, the following: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ar3uTxXUlQvPnec6niFJFdbd7BR.?qid=20070317100224AANntO9 deals with again, the idea of modern scientific belief and religious dogma, please notice that some of the answers mentioned verses from the Holy Bible, book of Genesis.

Again, are these two questions I pasted above, are they relevant to Religion and Spirituality, and tell me why your answer is the correct one.

Answer 1

The questions themselves could have been posted elsewhere. But you picked R&S.

And those people that answered chose to do so from a religious / spiritual perspective.

And so the questions (were they not already) became relevant to R&S by the interpretation the answerers placed upon them.

So, rather like stem cells, which have the potential to become a wide variety of things, your questions differentiated into R&S material by nature of their new environment. Totipotency in action.

Dunno if that's 'correct' but I did give it some thought!

Answer 2

The chicken came first, since God created the animals and then let Adam name them.
(farm animals , that is).

As far as the second question goes, you cannot decide which came first, the Heaven or the earth, by reading the account in Genesis, because what you read in Genesis is not the first creation of either, it is the rejuvination of the earth after the great war of satan, to make the earth habitable for flesh life. The first creation was eons and eons before Adam and Eve.
Thats what the manuscripts say.

Yeah, I quess they could be considered relative to the discussion in R&S.

Answer 3

You have received correct answers, God came first, Then planatary matter, then the creation of the earth so as to support the life of the creatures of the sea, then of the air, [birds] then the animals and then mankind, This process took longer than 6 days, { days of my youth, took some time to complete} etc. Because God created all of this, the chicken came first, or it's kind, each of the animals adapted to it's particular environment. Thus involving change in appearance, and so forth. From this point on you need to figure their relation as to spirituality, {faith} and where it fits with the different religions, for not all of them teach the total truth of the word of God. This is for you to discover, and you have the responsibility of looking for God, for when you look for him then he will allow himself to be found by you.

Answer 4

The questions in themselves are not relevant to Religion or Spirituality. However, the answers may be.

Depending on the answer, you will find either:

1) dogmatic statements based on faith in a religion/god/holy book

2) scientific evidence that point to one idea over another

3) statements that one does not know...yet

Answer 5

I didn't answer them, but of course I'd have a bias towards science because I'm an evil heathen!

And yes, in a very round-about way, you could relate the questions to R&S if you approach them with a religious mindset.

Answer 6

Of course they are relevant. They deal with issues that are important and meaningful to people who are either religious, or have some interest in religion.

My answer is the correct one because I'm always right, of course. hahahaha.

Now, why are you addressing your questions only to "regulars"?

Answer 7

Obviously, all questions that deal with creation and evolution are relevant. Why? Did someone report your questions as abuse? It's happened to me and probably to many others.

Answer 8

I think they are very relevant. of coursed in a disguised form....but you are addressing , and want answeres from, the R&S regulars...so yes. ..And those i find are quite relgious. only a stupid person would find the meaning of the question. peace!

and my answer is the correct one , because i am Gods kitty! lol

Answer 9

Yes, as evidence by the large amount of religion biased answers and spiritual truths held by the answers.

Answer 10

The details in your question would imply that they are relevant, although the relevancy may be in the eyes of the reader.
'It's all a matter of perspective'.
