The cell didn't just "randomly" arrange itself. There are many known intermediate steps between "molecule" and "cell".
Yes, I realise that is a quite abridged version of evolution, but there is a random factor in there. You yourself referred to the Science forums, and that is where this discussion belongs.

I must say that if your goal is starting this thread was to evangelize and draw people closer to your faith, displaying the typical religious rejection and ignorance of science and evolution will run counter to your aims.
I do not reject science, I reject the theory of evolution (yes, it is even admitted to be unprovable by its supporters). I believe in creation science instead. But this discussion belongs in the Science Forums.
God Bless you, and sorry for these late replys.

Re: Jesus's circumcision
Ok, Faith in God is NOT having all the answers, but believing God does.
Faith in Science is NOT having all the answers, but believing Science does.
I'm setting the same ultimatum for each, aren't I?
The thing is, God and Science are not opposites. God created the force of gravity, the planet that it keeps you on, the brain you are using to understand what I'm saying, the body you are in, and, yeah, all the rest of the universe too. Therefore God created Science. I don't see why a lot of Christians are so against Science; it is often used to prove what we believe. Really, God and Science in general go hand in hand-though not some 'scientific' theories.

However I like to remind myself to "Hate the superstition but Love the superstitionist".
Belief in Jesus isn't superstition, but I won't go into that right now. Jesus "hates the sin but loves the sinner" if you don't mind. "God demonstrates His love for us in this; while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans something I think). It's that simple. "...neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to seperate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:38-39). God will still love us, and has already loved us, even though we do wrong. Now you are going to say, why does God send people to hell? aren't you. Well, I don't believe hell is eternal suffering, it is eternal death. People who die after the Second Coming would not be happy in heaven. They would be like Satan-because ultimately that is what sinning is-and want all the power of God. God has the power because he is the only one who knows how to use it properly. Satan tried, and his example is this earth, which is, if you ask me, pretty messed up.
God Bless you always
