1. Evolution vs. Creationism: Listen to the Scientists.

I didn't think that ...

I didn't think that because someone taught me that verse, it's because I've studied scripture and theology for 26 years often seven days a week and have taught scripture for 18 years after being spirit filled, I'm not looking through a clouded glass with my eyes shut and a closed mind like all Atheists.

Cont. 20. they ...

Cont. 20. they passed the fig 21.Peter said it had withered after Jesus cursed it 22. Jesus answered and told them to have faith in God. 23 Jesus commented on the power of God and moving of mountains. 'it has to be taken in context of the whole bible not just a single line, and he was talking about faith and the withering of the fig as a metaphor for those lacking in faith'.

It's so obvious ...

It's so obvious when put in context, Mark 11; 11 Jesus entered Jerusalem and the temple and looked around, 'he obviously saw something to warrant his return next morning", 12 He was hungry 13 saw a fig tree hoping to find fruit it was bare like the temple he saw yesterday so 14 he cursed it saying no one would eat from it again. 15 He entered the temple knowing what to expect after the day before, and accused them of turning the temple in a den for thieves. 18 The priests began to plot . .

except in the cases ...

except in the cases where studies show that faith and belief can affect the material universe. you should read up on it ;-) like the placebo affect and the nacebo affect as only two examples. There are other interesting findings and implications that are in the early stages of research. Faith and science can mix, just not strict religious faith.

no he wasn't and no ...

no he wasn't and no you would never get that out of the text on your own. you only think that because someone else taught you that. it is an interpretation that developed over time because of peoples religious bias. every instance of that parable is about faith and result of it. There is no hidden meaning. The real issue is that *all* christian doctrine is based on allegorizing various verses and statements of the old testament to give then a different meaning.

Your ignorance ...

Your ignorance amuses me :)

Chimpanzees are ...

Chimpanzees are descended from the same type of animal that we are. Just as the English are descended from the same people who settled the USA.

that isn't a ...

that isn't a correct analogy. Chimpances and us are not descended one from the other, we share a common ancestor. So by answering with that analogy you imply (even though you didn't mean it) that we actually descended from modern apes.

funny thing is, my ...

funny thing is, my life here i want to spend it studying the universe and studying the universe means studying how we got here. So living my life while im here means finding out how i got here.

Jesus was using ...

Jesus was using that particular fig that didn't have fruit being out of season and him being hungry as a parable for the priests he witnessed the using the church to collect taxes etc, and therefore instead of saving any their word was fruitless not that a fig tree was cursed. Buddha taught a philosophy correct, I lived in Thailand for 5 yrs and saw how that worked, you give everything to the temple and come back rich instead of a cockroach which led to the worship of money get the story right

And how got here ...

And how got here can influence how we live our lives while here.

Another example: ...

Another example: Take the visual systems of molluscs, Insects, flatworms. All different Phyla yet they all hang their visual systems on a particular gene group called Pax-6 comprised of 130 slots with a possibility of 20 different combinations of amino acids possible for each of the 130 spaces. So whats the factorial of (3Phyla*130spaces *20 possible combinations). All turning up the same Pax-6 for three independent developing phyla. Only 3 were mentioned more phyla can join this puzzle.

There are tons of ...

There are tons of examples that fly in the face of conventional explanations and have you arrive at a place where an inexplicable catalyst had to be present to explain the results. For instance the Cambrian Explosion. In the Cambrian Period there is an explosion of very major body type simultaneously overnight (cosmologically speaking) with no transitional species from the very primitive Precambrian life forms such as worms or protozoa.

Our physiology ...

Our physiology irrelevant. The point is not how we got here, but how we live our lives WHILE here.

"My question is, ...

"My question is, where are the ape-men?" Your dad is one.

Why do you have ...

Why do you have fragments of genes that code for proteins used in the production of yolk, and why did you, as an embryo, have a vestigial yolk sac?

".....why are there ...

".....why are there still monkeys?" I honestly think you don't realise just how stupid that question is. I strongly recommend you get a good book on evolution and how it actually works so that you don't embarrass yourself in public any more. Can I ask you a question "If you and your cousins are both descended from your great grand parents, why are there still your cousins?"

Look at the youtube ...

Look at the youtube video titled: Lets Test Them: Evolution vs. Creationism

I REALLY

I REALLY

You are thinking ...

You are thinking Pierolapithecus, Sahelanthropus Ttchadensis, Australopithicus Afarensis, Homo Habilis, Homo Ergaster, Homo Heidelbergensis (coexisted with us at one time) then Homo Sapiens, us. If you are asking "Then why do we still have apes?" That's not a valid question. It's like saying "If the English settled the United States, why do we still have England?"

Please, stop ...

Please, stop dwelling on youtube looking for answers. Go to a university and ask a professor. They will likely give you a few dozen books to read as well as some really interesting facts. Why listen to someone more educated than yourself? Well, if you prefer to remain ignorant, that's a sure sign of stupidity.

wheres the ...

wheres the evidence ?

"why are there ...

"why are there still monkeys?"' we didn't evolve from modern apes, we share a common ancestor with them. "And where are the species that are "in between" stages of evolution? " you can google "list of transitional fossils"

"Sort of half man, ...

"Sort of half man, half monkey? I see none." => plenty of transitional fossils outlining the stages of human evolution have been found. The problem isn't there's no evidence. The problem is you think these are not transitional fossils. Which in this case, i gotta ask: what scientific education have you received in this area that makes you think you are more qualify to interpret a fossil than the rest of scientific community? Justify why you think 95% of scientific community is wrong.
