I didn't think evolution is unscientific.

Just coincidence that a horse doesn't have a crocodiles' temperament?

Interesting question ;why didn't God give us eternal life straight away?The burden is on you to prove it since you are going against what is obvious

That's a cute question! lol. Hey, mypublicident... That's a bit of an assumption to say that your dog does not believe in God. Since he can't refute the statement, it is kind of cruel for you to speak on his behalf.

You know, there are plausible explanations for how horses could have gotten that way without God's help, but they are just that - someone's plausible explanation. Evolution is just a theory - people seem to forget that. Therefore, evolutionists should recognise that they are on the same ground as creationists - using logic and reason to arrive at beliefs.... There's no conclusive proof for either case.

It didn't, and the trees didn't evolve for carpentry either. Really, just because wood is quite a useful material for human beings doesn't mean it was designed or evolved to be like that.

You might as well turn the argument on its head and ask why God didn't think to provide non-Eurasians with such useful animals.

On the other hand, it's worth noting that the animals human beings have domesticated have evolved under human selection to become better suited to our needs -- this, of course, is not actually really distinct from natural selection: it just means that human beings form a highly important part of the environment to which the animals adapt.

You remind me of that Antipodean guy who reckons the banana is an atheist's nightmare. It's not, of course, any more than the mango is going to keep many theists up at night.

Man breeds horses that are easy to ride, man kill horses that are not easy to ride. Next generation of horses genetically are therefore more likely to be easy to ride (because the number in the parent population is greater). With the wooded plants it's probably more likely that man evolved his carpentry techniques to suit the trees available rather than the other way round (with the exception of later years where man chose what trees to plant in which case the same thing applies as the horses).

In the case of the horse, remember how many centuries men have been breeding horses. Trees have also been cultivated for many centuries.

Natural selection worked all by itself for a long time, but eventually man created animal husbandry and agriculture. Selection was now done for those traits which served man's needs. It is part of what proves that evolution is real. We HAVE changed many, many species. In some cases, so much so that it's hard to know what the ancestors of domesticated animals looked like. What did the modern bovine species look like thousands of years ago? What animal was adapted to give you your Big Mac?

The back of a horse did not evolve to make it suitable to ride - most people use a saddle. And men make things out of what is available whether that is wood, metal, leather, plastic, palm leaves etc. And horses don't have appropriate temperaments that's why they have to be "broken".

Fine, I'll humour you...

You've got the question by the wrong end. The horse would not have evolved, the man would have. And man gradually developed tools so that he could make use of the wooded plants. It's not like we see a lot of four bedroom colonials in the ruins of prehistoric man, but rather caves. Caves that didn't require a sawmill for construction...

1/ the horse evolved as it did and we used it. We could have used the cow or any one of many other animals as they do in other culture's.

2/ We then evolved a wild and quite dangerous animal into the docile and gentle creature of now.

3/ trees grow the way they did and we used them

Does that mean rock's evolved to fit in the palm of man's hand? Are you a humanist?

Why didn't God create a Horse with a steering wheel and bucket seats or grow trees in the shape of dining room tables and chairs?

For the same reason that ignorant people don't see the real reason, that man evolved to make efficient use of his environment. My dog doesn't believe in god and is perfectly happy, so why should I. In fact, xtians believe that pets don't go to heaven, which readily means that there can NEVER be a heaven for me!
