Man came from a rock

David,

Think how it has been for me when at 8 and 9 years old; i was questioning these very assumptions
and was told to just stop being foolish and a dreamer ???. As Ray has said; there is so much in that
Bible; my favourite saying is there is so much more in Scripture than most people even contemplate.

Mind Of GOD vs mind of mankind.
Just tried a little experiment to make a point, analogy breaks down immediatley as the difference is
immeasurably vast with anything we use to count. :o

Psalms 40:5:
Many, O LORD my God, are your wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are
to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order to you: if I would declare and speak of them, they
are more than can be numbered.

Isaiah 55:8:
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, said the LORD.

Isaiah 55:9:
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts
than your thoughts.

Romans:1 18-21
18-For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,
who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19-Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God has showed it to them.

20-For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by
the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21-Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became
 vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

There is a lot in Scripture we have not even sniffed yet, i truly long for That Day When ABBA IS READY.

I see no justification to force intelligent design on students.  However, I think that teachers should be more honest when it comes to the problems associated with macro-evolution.  But leave intelligent design to the individuals to study on their own.  By the way, I have new definitions for two commonly parroted terms:



Agnostic-Know nothing



Atheist-Know it all

The universe is so massive, as Ray said there are billions of galaxies and in those galaxies there are billions of planets. I (myself) believe that the earth is the only planted inhabited. Could it be that we are the only life forms in the whole universe. I just don't think God of the universe just created life forms on planted earth. Maby He created other life forms on other planets. We don't know for sure one way or the other. It would be arrogant of us to presume we know for sure. Like everyone agrees that their is no mention is scripture one way or the other. Some of us will believe that there are other life forms on other planets and some of us won't believe. either way it comes down to ones own opinion. This is mine.

David:
Scientists think that Mars has a lot of water locked and frozen into its rock etc. They believe that the surface of Mars has a lot of valleys and land characteristics that indicate there were once rivers there. They say that this would have been at a time when the sun was much hotter and life on earth at that point was impossible because the surface of the planet was too hot. They say that the presence of water means that there's a possibility of the presence of organic life.
So far all the soil and rock samples they've managed to analyse have come up zero.
We're all assuming that life elsewhere in the universe is not mentioned in the Bible, yet until recently I didn't know that Dinasours were mentioned.
My approach is, stick to the scriptures and understanding God has given me so far, but keep my mind open and teachable to Gods revelations.
One thing I am absolutely certain of. If there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, I will never encounter it while I live. Its inconceivable that any life form could survive the conditions of the planets closest to us in our solar system.
Its even more inconceivable that any intelligent life form inhabiting a planet orbiting a different star could ever travel the millions of miles to earth and survive. Even if they could, there are thermo nuclear "bands", almost like a nuclear atmosphere that our solar system is full of. The strongest of this nuclear energy is closest to earth, and scientists believe that nothing living that we can conceive of could ever penetrate it and live. Scientists have an idea what the universe is made up of, its basic matter, and so any conceivable life form is likely to be carbon based, needing light, water and oxygen to survive. The idea of armour plated lizards that bleed acid and breath gas is just Hollywood fantasy.
The discovery of the nuclear bands surrounding the earth out in space is what fueled the moon landing conspiracy theories.
They also say that these nuclear rings or bands out in space have been there since before there was life on earth, therefore the theory that life came from a rock hitting the earth is a bit flimsy.

From my front porch... I can look across at the tops of the smoky blue mountains. Everything I see from the doe that feeds in my yard to the rain falling down like a curtain.. lets me know that God had to be in charge of it all. No man could ever make such beauty. We may try to capture it in paintings but there is no comparison. I have no idea how old these hills are that I live in but I do know that God does know and I am the one who benefits from His creation of beauty. Much love to all, Jennie
