Joe, you beat me to that very post. ;D

Quote by Pax. "In short, some day we will all know which parts of Scientism were correct and which sections of Creationism were correct.  In the mean time, let's have fun trying to figure out this Gordian Knot -- knowing that we never will understand it all."

Oh, but I think you are wrong. With the armour of God we can slice through the false science of micro evolution just like Alexander the Great sliced through the Gordian knot. I don't think that there is any room for believers to agree with any micro evolution unless they are believing that God caused it. Which I have to agree could be possible, but I can't imagine God taking the long way around to get to his objective of creating man.

This can't become an argument about specific beliefs or we will put the moderators on the spot and they will end up having to close this thread. And as I stated earlier, the links in this thread have already helped me to ease my wife's mind. So it was a good thing. ;D

Pax Vobiscum:


Just to lighten things up, how 'bout a little Dilbert?

Dilbert writes a poem and presents it to Dogbert:

DOGBERT: I once read that given infinite time, a thousand monkeys with typewriters would eventually write the complete works of Shakespeare.
DILBERT: But what about my poem?
DOGBERT: Three monkeys, ten minutes.
(Scott Adams, Dilbert comic strip, 15 May 1989.)

Just be sure to get your flu shot!

If Evolution Theory is wrong, what makes Intelligent Design the correct alternative?  It has as many (if not more) hurdles to jump.

My only gripe here is the strong rhetoric of the arguments.  My personal position is that they are both woefully wrong, if that wasn't clear.

Hi Pax,

I can agree with that, the way Intelligent Design is postulated I do not see as being an absolute of any kind.

Science has produced many beneficial things but always keep in perspective that science is constantly changing, yesterdays facts are todays follies. It is an idol of the heart for many.

I am not embarressed to admit I do not know how God created the earth and everything in it, but I know He did. Ray gave a very good presentation on how the literal 7 (our 24 hour) day theory just doesn't fit at the Mobile Conference last September.

His Peace and Wisdom to you,

Joe

Hello again Pax,

I do not see how flu shots prove evolution, it appears that they work in conjunction with our God given immune systems, the following is from MayoClinic.com



The flu vaccine changes annually. Production begins with public health authorities working together to make a highly educated guess as to what strain of influenza will strike next. This is based on analysis of samples from people with respiratory illnesses worldwide.

Next, three strains of influenza virus are grown in the lab, which are then killed in order to produce the vaccine. Once the vaccine is injected into a person, the immune system reacts by producing antibodies programmed to attack the dead virus. If the person is then exposed to the flu, his or her immune system recognizes the virus and destroys it, preventing disease.

However, vaccines are not foolproof. There's still a chance of getting the flu. If you do, there are drugs to help decrease the symptoms and the duration of the illness.

His Peace and Wisdom to you,

Joe

Phazel:
Another issue is that science education nowdays doesn't like the separation of  "micro" vs "Macro" evolution.

On the true origin site I linked to previously, look up an article entitled  "talk origins  deception by omission"

The statement heard alot  "evolution happens"  is an undisputable fact and observable.

But,  descent through modification is really where the issue is.


The problem is that science education is so watered down the average proponent of evolution claims that there is no distinction between the two.

Mosquitoes evolving to a different species of mosquito and the possibility that all the small changes observed in our genome will eventually change that mosquito into something outside what we would call a mosquito is virtually the same.
 

I haven't read it for a while, but I think the article I cited above goes into much more detail about this.
