Hey Alex,
I can't speak for Kathy but I wasn't talking about evolution.
I'm not quite sure which statement I made even implied it?
I was pretty confused by what you added.
If evolution says from one kind of animal comes another kind than I'm pretty sure I don't believe that.
Scripture says everything from its own kind.
If a seed produced a type of animal and then that animal produced another kind of animal...again, i'm pretty sure I don't believe that.
I don't believe in common ancestor or common species.
The premise for me believing life has the possiblity to exist elsewhere is because of water and earth.
Other earth type planets are categorized as such because they have rocks, metals, possible water or evidence of water and solid surfaces.
Whatever it took to produce life here on our planet, these planets don't have that "seed"
There may be missing elements that make it possible.
Another thing, I have not implied an unguided creation process.
I never assume God isn't involed in any one thing but why would I have to say?
"by him all things consist" so where is he not?
Hope that's clear
Antaiwan

Hello Antaiwan,
I may have misunderstood Kathy but from reading it before I thought she was talking about evolution in her third post and I decided to chime in on the "evolution" part of the conversation. I wasn't implying one way or another that you believed this or that, or that she did, merely what I believed and understood on the subject.
I apologize if It was misplaced.
As far as life in the universe goes based on earth like planets, to my knowledge, and I maybe ignorant of the facts on this one, we do not currently have any solid evidence to suggest other planets like earth exist in our universe. I.E. Discovered other planets with an actually ocean, not toxic environment, suitable land etc... What I believe the idea is, is that due to the fact that the universe is ever expanding and it is technically "infinite" in size that through mathematically probability, there must be another planet out there like earth.
Does mathematically probability equal certainty? I don't know... but God has declared the wisdom of man nothing more than foolishness before so I wouldn't be surprised if just because it's mathematically possible that it isn't a reality.
I know recently mars was discovered to have sedimentation indicative of a water system in it's distant past but that' is the past and as far as today is concerned, mars is a barren wasteland.
Hope this clarifies where I was coming from.
Again, apologies for the confusion. :)
God bless,
Alex

hi antaiwan. i pulled the above statements from your post reply because i found them very interesting. from the Scriptures we find that God the Father sent His only begotten Son to the planet earth. His Seed. it doesn't mention any other planet(s) that He sent His Son to be born of His Seed. He caused it to be so on earth, using the virgin mary as the vessel.
and, "so where is He not" is an excellent and Truthful statement. the God and Father of Jesus Christ is everywhere in His creation. He knows exactly what is happening at any given time in all of the bazillion, trillion parts of His vast, vast, vast universe. He IS Sovereign.
thanks for posting antaiwan. :) i enjoyed reading all the post replies to this thread.

Just to clarify, I go along with Alex's well put and informed description of micro evolution.
--- Quote ---Adaptation and "micro evolution" as they would call it does occurs all around us but... "macro evolutions" as the origins of life is as of yet nothing more than a theory.
v
Adaptation brings about variations in species over time but it does not change one species into another. This would be the difference between "micro" and "macro" evolution.

*moderators, please delete this post if the link i am trying to copy is not appropriate for the forum.
i thought this article was interesting, in light of this thread and the resulting post replies.
our Father God and Master Creator must be chuckling at His "earthlings".
