A lot of information driving this.
Maybe, but I have a hard time thinking of myself as "wonderfully" - - The low side of average perhaps -
@mchill saidLook at the number of cells in our bodies made in a 70 year time period, that had to fall out at conception into the required forms to do specific jobs. Cells intergraded into systems that were designed to be replaced over time, the sheer number of cells, how each replications had to be done correctly. Compare that to the number of ways any of it could have gone wrong, dwarfs the specified ways it had to be done correctly.

That we were designed with the capability to know, understand, and feel things transcending the material world. Even fallen where corruption is part of life now, we were originally designed in the image of God. That Jesus laid down His life to redeem us, makes our worth beyond measure. But we hate and belittle ourselves, we buy and sell ourselves for next to nothing, abusing and hating each other as if we were nothing, but objects to be used and cast away as trash.

Excellent post. Agreed that when Mr Darwin somehow came up with his theories, science still had a long ways to go in discovering the deeper things of life. But we all should be able to see even with the smallest of life that the "theory" of evolution just doesn't fly, or walk, or swim...etc. Lol . Thanks for your postings....

@galveston75 saidWhat a Christian you are, denying the process of God's creation.

@Suzianne
What? You must be misunderstanding my answer. But no I do not believe in evolution in any way. We as well as all living things were created by Jehovah.
Evolution and plate tectonics were tools in God's toolbox used in the process of creation on Earth, just as physical rules of cosmology were followed in the creation of the universe.
This is clear to me, using evidence available in the world, and in space.
God doesn't have a magic wand. Creation is not "magic", there was no "hocus-pocus". Creation over time, using the rules of physics, is the way God used to sustain free will. People are free to claim there is no God. Their decision about God must be based on faith. There is no evidence of God for this very reason. If God created man with a wave of his hand and "Ta-daaaaa!" there would be no fossil record. It would be obvious. It is anything but, in order to preserve free will to decide there is no God, or to decide there is, through faith.
"We as well as all living things were created by Jehovah."
No argument. But we don't agree on the method God used to create. You creationists reduce God to a stage magician. POOF! here, POOF! there. That's just not true.
@Suzianne saidYou can read what I think God did and is doing in Genesis's first couple of chapters. He spoke it was here, He created life blessed it told it to multiply after its kind, and then He formed man out of the earth and breathed life into man.
Yes. The process continued through physical means. Your definition of 'creation' is what is lacking.
Can you describe what you think God's method is and how you came to that knowledge?
@galveston75 saidMy God has no limits on what he can do.
@Suzianne
Wow!!!! You know so much! That is incredible to say the least. But....perhaps you should read Job the 38th chapter.
After you do perhaps you'll see you really know nothing. Sorry.
Your God seemingly can't do anything unless it's "instant".
What is time to God?
