Literal Creation vs Theistic Evolution

First of all you say that apes breed like a pair of bunnies. Actually from conception to birth the process takes about 8 and a half months. http://www.gorillas-world.com... Most mutations are neither helpful nor harmful. Also mutations don't happen every generation. Most mutations occur in the sperm or egg cell which do nothing to advance the organism. They don't happen in every generation, what happens is the mixing of genes from the mother and father. Not new information being added, just being mixed around. We do die of natural causes such as disease, yes. But in the Garden of Eden, the paradise on earth, there was no death or sickness. God created it with no intention of death or suffering. When man choose to eat the apple, the first sin, that is when diseases and death came into the world. We don't die because of sin, we die because our kin committed a sin. (: (I smiled when i wrote that last sentence). I said animals didn't compete to survive in the Garden of Eden. Lions didn't eat gazelles. They were vegetarian. When you look at a common bear today they look like they only eat meat, but 90 percent of their diet consists of plants. http://www.bearsmart.com... Fossils: How do you know what their kids looked like? What if one hundred generations down the road they looked mostly the same? You don't know if they had kids, or even different kids. You don't even know if they are our ancestors! You said we do have a point in life! We do! God created us IN HIS IMAGE and doesn't need to use random chance and failures of organisms to get us here! We have the power to do anything we want. The human consciousness is not a product of random chance. We are smarter than whales. Basically you were inferring that the bigger brain you have, the more intelligent you are. I did not misconceive evolution. It believes we all evolved from a single celled organism. So if that were true we would all be related to one another. Also majority belief does not decide true from false. Cavemen: The bible says that people lived for hundreds of years. If this were true then we would discover fossils of human-like organisms that have larger bones than us. Many 'caveman' skeletons have a very profound eyebrow bone. You can feel little ridges of bone just above your eyebrow that never stop growing. Even look at the side view of your fossil 'I' and you can see an example of this. "Biblical website presents an crap load of bias. Keep using links like this and I'll destroy them everytime." -You Yet you didn't. And you use Wikipedia as a source. My teachers in middle school would flip out if I used wikipedia as a source. Noah's Ark: God brought the animals to Noah. And he didn't bring one of every species, just one of every kind. The bible says a kind of animal are ones who can bring forth. Every dog can interbreed. There might be some mechanical problems with size difference but they can still bring forth. Noah probably needed two general run of the mill dogs. Also a horse and a zebra can interbreed. These are just a few examples. Lowering the amount of animals to kind drastically lowers the amount of animals needed. Noah was probably a smart guy and didn't bring adult animals on the ark, lowering the food required and weight. But weight is no issue, seeing as modern ships are greatly larger in size and weight yet still float. Egyptians were after the flood of Noah. Easy solution to keep animals from eating each other: cages. http://youngearth.com... Here's a source with evidences of a young earth. Also instead of just throwing information at each other and saying READ let's actually try to explain some things to each other so we know what to refute. For example: Petrified trees prove that layers of strata in fact are not different in ages and prove that they were buried very rapidly. They are found around the world and prove a worldwide flood. Saturn's rings are approaching the planet too fast for the universe to be old. They would have collided with the planet millions of years ago! Earth's magnetic field is decaying too rapidly for our planet to be extremely old. Jupiter and Saturn are rapidly losing heat. If the universe was millions of years old then they would have been completely cooled of a while ago. Your wikipedia site also says that Ice layers are annual layers. The actually represent hot cold hot cold. Not annual rings. Wood does not take millions of years to petrify. Also it does not take millions of years for stalactites or whatever to form. http://creation.com... http://creation.com... Saying Jesus could have meant it by metaphors is a horrible explanation seeing that Jesus is God and witnessed the whole thing. What else would a day mean? Good luck in the next round!
