2)It was ALL in Adams genes. Did you ever see a black haired child born to 2 BLONDE parents. It may have been from a grandparent (the genes are far more vast than only those which are passed on).
3)Order doesn't come by itself without outside influence.
4)Because he is also a just God. If he says that he will punish the wicked, then he will punish the wicked. You have a simple choice to avoid Hell. Believe in Jesus Christ and you will be saved.
5)This is the common cry of Animal rights activists, but most of the same activists think nothing of murdering a child in the womb.
6)We'll throw a bunch of car parts out and tell me 10 million years from now if they assemble themselves together.
7)There is no real proof of ET. It take a FAITH to believe such nonsense.
1)a)Actually I look a lot like hairless ape, just like you do....
b)Really, how do you know? Where is the sample of patriarch DNA that you tested? What makes you think that there is a perfect DNA? what stops a random mutation being beneficial (yes they do happen ask Schraf about her missing wisdom teeth) and improving the "perfect" DNA?
c)Individuals evolving would be Lamarckism not evolution in its modern sense... Also the claim of devolution rather than evolution requires there to be no natural selection, are you arguing that in the past survival of the fittest played no role?
(Incidently my personal opinion is that modern man IS devolving as social constructs, the welfare state etc, remove selection mechanisms (not that I think the welfare state is a bad thing merely that it is potentialy problematic geneticaly), this is completely unrelated to the creationist arguments that all mutation reduces function...)
2)So whens your study coming out? you know the analysis of actual DNA samples that show we all have a common ancestor X (where X is of the order of 10) thousand years ago. After all if we are all directly descended from A and E it should be easy to demonstrate....
Unless there has been some sort of hyperevolutionary stage that the bible makes no mention of....
3)Ever watched a crystal grow?
4)So what if you are wicked AND you believe in JC?
Your comment implies that the worst child torturing, father killing mowing the lawn on a sunday sinner can play a get out of hell free card by CHOOSING to believe...
Before we get into the whole moral justification for sending good people who don`t believe to hell and admiting real evil believers to heaven how about you explain precisely why you think belief is a matter of choice (I hold that it is non elective BTW)....
5)Irrelevant, does the first commandment cover all life, all animal life, all humans, all humans except violent criminals or just all humans that your God hasn`t expressly told you to wage war upon killing their children salting their fields and enslaving their women?
6)Flawed analogy car parts do not breed or self replicate, do not mutate randomly and are not naturally selected.....
Also no one is arguing that a lung, brain and intestine suddenly popped into existence and sat around for a few millenia "evolving" into a man, which is the only scenario your analogy would be relevant to....
7)Apart from the probabilistic argument there is no evidence for sentient E.T`s however this does not show that there are none anywhere in the universe...
