Thank you Thank you Thank you. If I was created from an ape, Why are there stll apes? I don't beleave it for one second. We'll see when we're all called home.
I'm going to Heaven or hell. one or the other.

hey airsjc, very nice blog.
firs off, I never read the whole bible because I didnt feel as if Im ready to read it yet. The more I read phrases the more I can incorporate my thoughts and feelings with the passages in the bible. My thoughts and feelings comes from believing in Jesus. The bible speaks truth, but are we suppose to take the passages and phrases in the bible literally?
It says as you wrote "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them" (verse 27).
Cant the moment the dna structure changed and the process of humans were meant to come out that this phrase fits in. Before you completely block the concept in your mind, think openly about it, without thinking of the words in the bible literally.
You already wrote an insightful blog about how you think the big bang and the bible can relate, so try to see how evolution and the bible fit. The result of the big bang is evolution.
You did mention how science is in the bible, and after reading the phrases you put, I can see how science can be used with the creation of man. I know im going against yours and lot of peoples opinions, but you believe what you feel and think.
and theirs more proof of evolution theory then you know and still continuing more discovery, but maybe this is another example where religion and science can come together. (remember i said the only thing science is missing is that it doesnt include god as the father of the masterpiece, and you said but the bible does include science.)
You wrote "Their genetics are completely different."
whos (their)?
if you do look at science and look at dna structure with humans and primates, their almost identical dna strands(not really so completely different). Remember just ONE alteration in the structure of the DNA code can result in mutation and perform a process of evolution. Can one or few DNA strands make us so completely differently then our previous species we evolved from?
If you think evolution occurred with other animals and mammals, but not humans then I think theirs a problem. It might be just my problem, but I know someone in this world thinks and feels like me.

Midy midy midy, They are absolutely differant. In Fact There are four differant kinds of flesh upon the earth.

Hello Smitty: Thanks for your comments and questions. I like knowing what you are thinking about. Pertaining to your comment: "I'm going to Heaven or hell. one or the other." Would you not prefer to be sure of your final destination. I think it would be a scary thing not to know? One way you can be certain of your eternal home is to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as the son of God, the lamb that paid the price for our sins. Think of it this way: He you have a God that is completely holy. He send his only son because of his love for his human creation, (us), now since God is holy he cannot accept sin for sin is the absence of good. Something has got to be done. God does not want us to go to hell, that is for Satan and his angels, not for us. So, he provided a way for us to be with him after death. Since our sins are so horrible in his site, now think of the multitude of things we do that are absolutely horrid. The only acceptable payment for all and I mean everything from a to z in sins that we have committed have to be under that payment. The blood of animals no longer applies as before. It has to be a a world wide everyone included Jews and Gentiles of all kinds or races and creeds. He had to send his only son, the Lamb, who knew no sin, who had no stains of any kind. He was put on a cross a horrifically murdered by the enemies of God so that all who believe in his blood sacrifice as the ultimate payment will have coverage and enter to paradise.
God does not kidnap, tricks, make empty promises, nor force anyone to accept Jesus death on the cross. Is up to you. Only you decides what happens to you after death. Your distination is in your hands smitty. :-}

Hello: midnightvisions What a marvelous brain you have. You know if people would use the full capacity of their brain to solve a lot of our social and economic issues we would be so far advance it will boggle the mind. I happen to love science in my views it explain a lot of my question. I don't use science to negate God's word or create a diversion to others. I simply put it to the test. It is not science that is the enemy of God. It is the interpretation of science by each person. As you wrote: "If you think evolution occurred with other animals and mammals, but not humans then I think theirs a problem." I don't believe evolution occurred with animals, humans or any creation.
If you read in the Bible: Genesis Cp 2 vs 21 to 25 Concerning creation. It reads: And God created great whales and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly,***(after their kind)*** and every winged fowl (after his kind) And God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature**After his kind,**cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth **after his kind** And God saw everything that he had made and behold, it was very good. Everything that he created brought forth a descendant after its kind. In other words there was no evolution as men dictates, it was different descendants of the same kind but just different. Example: like bugs: One type of bug in its DNA had a program to bring all kinds of different bugs as they were hatched.If they would have come from evolution then the original creation would have dissapeared. Like cats come from the lineage of big cats and their DNA is very similar but it has addeed and different information in its genes to make it domesticated.

Hi again Airsjc, thank you, and you have a beautiful mind as well.
Airsjc, did you ever read the book "Origin of species" ?
Just curious if you just read about it, or actually read the book.
I was curious where you got the idea of DNA, did the bible ever talk about DNA,
specifically on deoxyribonucleic acids ?
Or did the bible mention something about the concept of DNA, where it made you think about the sciences of today and used that to reason your thoughts. =)
Funny how the human brain works with our reasoning. I know the bible must have mentioned the way our brains works. Uh, but is it because of science were able to understand how are brain works? I know whatever I say can be argued with phrases of the bible, that is why I must by wise with my words, so I dont try to offend or disrespect anyone. Scientists can believe in things that are not true. Examples are the mistaken notion that the universe is eternal or the idea that vestigial organs and "junk DNA" have no functions. But more importantly, we must not forget that scientists, being human, show a great variety of beliefs, attitudes, and character, just like politicians, teachers, and salesmen. Any scientist will try to fit the evidence into their general philosophy of things, including the bible.

The fact is we do you use our full capacity in our brains, its just fortunate or unfortunate, in the way you look at it, some people have more potential then others, and meant to use their potential in different ways.
I 100% agree with you, that we would be so advance if we could solve all our social and economic problems.
The problem in our social and economic problems come from the nature of humans. Throughout history, in all cultures, showed a sign of spirituality. Its when all humans ascend in the same spirit, we will advance or in my terms "evolve". If you look also in history, most of our problems comes from taking religious facts literally. In the name of god, "and says a phrase of religious texts" to be taken literally, instead of spiritually. We can learn so much from history, that is why education is essential for humans to grow into the same spirit.
Will all humans evolve or advance? Only the ones that use their better potential of brain to solve the economic and social problems.

Hi midnightvisions: You asked me, "Will all humans evolve or advance?" If you thinking about evolving as per scientific rational, my answer is no. We have come very far because God gave us wisdom, intelligence and many other attributes to be used wisely and tend and take care of the world along with each other. But it is within us as a fallen men to persue our fallen nature. It is an every day struggle to obey that little voice within you that tells you what is right or wrong while our nature voice is yelling out do this or that.

As time progress into the future we will become more evil and self centered to the point of a WWIII we all feared. We are already on WWIII but the outcome will be not a war of territory conquering so we can gorge ourselves with the spoils of war.
This is a total different war, this III war is a continuation of an ancient struggle for the soul of humans. It is a religious war. This kind of war has never died as others did, this war goes on even though it has encounter periods of suppression. But through time it has been kept alive in secrecy and masked to look as something else. But as you can witness the reality of this III war is coming back and it is no longer trying to hide their agenda. It is an open confrontation now, evil vs. good, God vs. Satan and we our very souls are the prize.
But those who are deceived will think that Israel and Arabia beein at each others throat will end if Israel packed up and left. But the Jews cannot go and will not go because they finally got the message that their race will never be safe nowhere in the world. They learned that from WWII and the Nazi's attempted exterminating them. Israel is fighting for their right to survive, procreate and live in peace.
Arabs hatred of the Jews will not ceased until they get everyone of them out of the country they think they own either by death of deportation. Is a war to the death. Ending with Arabs deploying nuclear weapons in order to wipe out Israel and it's inhabitants. The rest of the world will be caught in the fall out. A massive die out will take over the world. But just as we are all about to be exterminated from the face of the earth by this nuclear war the Lord will show up and put a stop to it.
It is a sad thing to see how far men will go to get what they want. I pray that I and my family are not in this world when this horrid war comes full force.
