Been trying to take in all this. Read over a good bit. Not sure though if this has been mentioned.
I don't know a lot about science, gnomes, DNA and all the stuff ya'll have been talking about.
So, whether it makes sense or not, I'll throw this out and see how bad it gets ripped up.
Long story short--- God created life and it was perfect. After the 'fall' in Eden, things became imperfect and went the way of nature instead of the supernatural perfection it started out with.
Then, in this natural state, evolution, mutation, adaptation, whatever, became possible.
I can't prove it no more than anyone can absolutely without a doubt prove creation and/or evolution. At least from what I can figure. It's just an idea that helps me make some sense of living things. Being able to prove or disprove either or a degree in genetics, astronomy, etc isn't a prerequisite to believing in God and his handywork.
But, He did give us a mind to use and free will. We have the right and obligation to question things and not fall for the latest fad that comes along.
Oh, ya'll lost me on a lot of stuff waaaaaaaay back, but it was very interesting trying to make sense of it. I need to go back over this stuff later when I have more time.

Understood. It would take a long time for me to be able to enter in this like several of the others have. Best to find something at my level. (grin)
The current scientific consensus in biology, geology and physics is in no way a "fad".
Oh, slight misunderstanding. By fad, I meant pseudo science (I think that's what it's called) and not established science.

Re: Perfect?
Hi,
Well, in Genesis God created living things and said they were good. Seems to me that God wouldn't create anything that was imperfect or corrupted at that time.
To get into something this deep, I'd need to be better prepaired. A man's gotta know his limitations.

Re: Perfect?
Later then. There's enough going on here as is.
