You have posted no research.

Further proof you can't take a joke, nor know what one is!

No surprise!

[spurraider21]

you need to expand your photobucket. you've posted this before, and i've already explained everything wrong with it

[xmas1997]

But we evolved from fish millions of years ago

About the only thing any one say with cer ude is that we evolved.

From what? The jury is still out on that question IMHO.

If it's certain that we evolved, and it's certain that animal life originated in the sea, you can do the math

Yes, I understand where you're coming from, but "cer ude" is central to any discussion or debate on these theories IMHO.

We can make predictions based on evidence, but in the final analysis they are still predictions, and many predictions have been proven to be wrong over time or through and with later evidence.

You cannot believe in the God of the Bible and evolution. It just won't work.

I, for one, have never felt that we understood God, much less the God of the Bible.
My contention all along has been that God is not understandable using our limited human capacity.
We might catch tiny glimpses of understanding, but nothing in the totality.
It would maybe be similar to an ant attempting to understand humans IMHO.

Yes....you can. Well I do at least. Go look at a remote island in the middle of the ocean....they have animals there that are unlike any others found on the mainland. It's because they have evolved differently there.

I also believe that God created Man. Guess I'm living proof that you can believe in both.....

I think what has happened is we simply can't grasp the concept that we have finally encountered something we can't explain so we invent ways to not let that happen.

What about......it took Him six days and..... now add the Adam & Eve story. Then there was Noah and the arc, how can you have that and little fishies?

I don't think this is a preposterous notion at all. But I am probably in the minority on this site when it comes to that. My contention is that it is not replicable.

Lets not neglect Jonah and the whale, etc.

All allegory IMHO.

Yes this is precisely why man invented the idea of god. Because they couldn't explain things so they made up a deity as an end all be all answer

And many have held up for centuries. It's called progress as opposed to not thinking just because you may end up wrong

And I do not disagree with you on either point.

Rather I "add" to it by saying simply that we still do not know in all cer ude/

I believe that animals have evolved...not humans. No evidence of a 1/2 ape, 1/2 human has ever been found. When that day comes...I might have to reconsider some things. Until then...I'll stick with my belief that God created Man.

And I, for one, do not blame you one bit.

Well I've said it on this thread already...no side can prove 100% that their side is correct.

Yeah the "little fishies" thing is hard to believe for some...and Yeah the "Adam's rib" story is hard to believe for others. It's a no-win situation. People choose to believe what they want to...I just hate it when one side calls the other side stupid for believing what they believe. All of it is kinda weird imo. Believing in God has worked for me for 30 years...and I don't see stopping anytime soon. Gave me a beautiful wife, a beautiful/healthy son, and a beautiful/healthy daughter. What more can I ask for...???

[Silver&Black]

Oooooooh Yeah.....proof that there is a God.

Mississippi State is #1 in the country.....

It only took thirty years of praying...but he finally answered.

More power to you for staying objective.

I sincerely doubt God takes sides tbqh.

It was a lame attempt at a joke....I know. I don't pray for my teams to win. There are waaay more important things in this world I know.

It was funny even though a little bit lame, but I don't think there is anything wrong with praying for your team to win.

I just doubt God plays sides is all.

I have to admit, that is funny!
