@Bushranger 🤔 when was the Spirit given? I see the original creation having 3 elements. 1. The body (dust) 2. The breath of God.(life) these two things made a living soul. (Genesis 2:7). We later find the 3rd element which is blood. Where was the Spirit given to mankind here? We can speculate and suppose it to be true, but its simply not there biblically.

@Reverend It would be necessary for me to believe in the creation story for me to answer your question 😉. I'll also have to acknowledge 4that you have a greater working knowledge of the Bible, however, the spirit you speak of is in my opinion, metaphorical.

@Bushranger fair enough.

There is no reason to attempt to disprove something that there is no proof of.

It’s a political and tribal argument. Evolution is associated with atheism and liberalism, so good conservative religious folks are required to oppose it. Same with gun control and global warming, none of which are mentioned in the Bible any more than evolution is.
@Carazaa
Not to put too fine a point on it: you have an education in an unrelated field.
Your education has not equipped you to speak authoritatively on evolution any more than a scientist educated in botany can speak authoritatively on astrophysics.
If you believe all scientists around the world are incompetent then study the information relating to evolution and find the flaws.
Don't just state that you trust the bible over science while remaining ignorant to one whole half of the argument. That's doing yourself a disservice.
So i ask you, before you comment on evolution again, familiarize yourself with the theory and the evidence.

Sorry i caused you offense.
I didn't mean to and i didn't mean to imply that you can't comment on my posts. What i meant was that before you deny the evidence for evolution again, i want you to actually, [i]genuinely[/i] study that evidence in good faith. Become informed about that which you are denying before you deny it has validity.
[quote]Did I say all scientists are incompetent?[/quote]
Correct me if i'm wrong, but what you suggested is that given your stance that the bible is right and science is wrong, either all the scientists studying evolution are incompetent in their field of study or they are deliberately falsifying data.

Just food for thought...........but in actual practice evolution does not mean it makes a species smarter or more superior than other life forms. For instance the path humanoids have traveled since earliest man came on the scene...from not even knowing what fire is to technology of today. Evolution more means a species has "evolved" over time to better survive and reproduce in a given environment, but that is just as due to natural selection as it is evolution in the sense that is argued today.
@anythingoes477
Absolutely correct. All too often i see creationists criticizing evolution theory in terms of expecting life to be a smooth progression from bad to good to better to best rather than simply maladaptive to adaptive.

Oh i'm aware. Luckily his blatantly superficial understanding and shallow rhetoric serve only to undermine his position and strengthen mine.

Pedophilia. I rest my case.
Gosh. I never get much in the way of creationist responses to this question.
I wonder why....

That would be attempting to prove a negative. Even if I could show that evolution did not occur in specific cases that would prove it hadn't occurred in others. The best anyone could do would be to find an alternative, plausible explanation for the evidence that appears to support evolution.
n.b. A magical man-in-the-sky doesn't meet the plausible criterion.

Agreed. And so far that doesn't seem to be happening. We see a series of "just so" stories which falter against the consistent, monolithic explanation of shared ancestry.
