Six-Day Creation
fe32k:
This thread is getting way out of wack. Whether it is right that this is the 6th Age for whatever reason, this concept is not revealed in scripture. rvhill, if you have some scripture to show that please do, but numerology is not an exact science (if science at all) and can be opened to interpretation. BTW omega means "end, final, last, etc." What does the number "7" have to do with "Omega?" Again, I could be missing something, or I could care less what age we are in, bottom line is we need to adhere to what scriptures reveal. the six-day creation, whether literal or not, should not be a stumbling stone for anyone.
As far as evolution goes, the dog example is not a very good one. Read any article that will explain the difference between MACRO-evolution and MICRO-Evolution (wikipedia probably has something good on this). The former has been observed and verified scientifically, but never has one animal changed into a totally different one. It just does not happen, there is not a single thread of undeniable evidence. Quite the opposite, just barriers and hurdles that cannot be explained. Hence, I think the evolution theory should get knocked down a level to the evolution hypothesis AT BEST!
God be with you,

Also, I'm sure that over time, like I said, humans have changed. rvhill isn't totally off base when he says genes change slightly from one generation to the next. They change within the species, so humans have indeed changed over time. To say Adam produced every single different race of people is probably off target though.
Of course as usual, there's probably more qualified people than myself to answer that. ;D

Given enough time and isolation with out inter-breed, and any two groups of the same species will become two different species. As an example take the story of the time machine. The time traveler and the Eloi may look the same, but as a genetic level they would not be the same. The more time there would be between the two groups the more different they would become. At some point in time they would become two different species even if they still looked the same.
Now back to domesticated animals, like dogs. Dogs are shaped and sized because those were the traits their owners choice fore them, through breading. Since dogs like all plants and animals, including humans are plastic. They can be shaped through breading, diet, and other environmental effects. This is in part why pregnant women are told to get the right foods and not smoke or do drugs. Because the fetus is very plastic, and can be effected by many different thing for good or ill.

You should study it for yourself, but I know what I know. Heresy is heresy and creationism is heresy. What about the land of Nod, the land of wanderers, or the city of Enoch. Do you really believe that Cain married his sister? The sons of God are Adam and Eve and their descendants, and the daughters of men are other humans. Adam is like Jesus in a way they are both covenants. Adam is the old wineskin and Jesus is the new one. Adam is the way of death and Jesus is the way of life.
rvhill:
The real problem here is pride. Most people want to believe that they are not beasts even though the bible say that they are beasts. On our own we will always be beasts, and nothing but beasts. Lucky for us that God so loved the world that he gave us Jesus. It is through the faith of Jesus we have a chance to become more then beasts. Since we are beasts that mean we came from beasts.

OK that will be the last word on this. Agree to disagree.
