Ok Creationists, I'm about to prove to you that you believe in evolution even if you don't realize that you do:
[b]Answer Yes or No to the following questions.[/b]
[c=A69800][b]1.[/b] [i]Do you believe that all organisms are born with inherent variations like mutations? [/c] [c=359E00][b]2.[/b] [i]Do you believe that the effects of those variations can be either harmful, neutral or beneficial to their host?[/i] [/c] [c=009E4F][b]3.[/b] [i]Do you believe that there exists a limited amount of resources in any given environment and that animals compete for them?[/i]? [/c] [c=008099][b]4.[/b] [i]Do you believe that males and females choose each other based on physical or behavioral characteristics?[/i] [/c] [c=003BB2][b]5.[/b] [i]Do you believe that this process of competition for resources can lead to the fixation of particular variations within a population?[/i] [/c] [c=004A59][b]6.[/b] [i]Do you believe that the fixation and accumulation of variations in separate populations that share ancestry can lead to the population becoming unable to breed with each other?[/i] [/c] [b]If you answered 'No' to any of those questions then you're denying directly observed, experimental science of the kind even professional Creationists champion. If you answered 'Yes' to those questions then surprise: [i]you believe in evolution![/i][/b]

@Pikachu I am not the one to argue with what science feels it has uncovered concerning life on this planet or its lack of an agreeable solution on how life started on this planet. It is easier to give an analysis of what is in front of you
Hebrews 11:3 tells us things that appear are not made of what do appear. So my belief is the science that man has was given to Man by God to be analyzed in the way that it is - yet in reality it is something totally different.
To save One believes In evolution because they believe this, that, or the other, concerning some scientific analysis - is a far-out statement. From the Christian perspective God is the reason behind everything, not evolution - especially concerning mankind.
The Bible doesn't say how he did what he did only that he did it. He called the Earth to bring forth plants mistaken for evolution........ He called the waters to bring forth living creatures * in abundance* mistaken for evolution ...... He called the Earth to bring forth beast and cattle mistaken for evolution ........ He formed man from the dust of the Earth and placed him in the garden God did this with his own hands - mistaken for evolution.
And I'm not going to have a in-depth discussion with you on this subject - it's pointless / useless. One will be going backwards and forwards. Because as far as I feel those who believe in evolution can believe in evolution - that's their business.
@Pikachu the Bible says God told the waters to bring forth life abundantly after it's kind
The Bible says God told the Earth to bring forth beast and cattle after it's kind
The Bible says and God formed man from the dust of the earth and placed him in the garden which he had prepared...... God did not tell the Earth to bring forth man God formed man with his own hands.
Three separate events........ The waters brought forth its form of life and the lands brought forth its form of life and God formed man and put him here ..... Which kind of puts a damper in evolution ""as it is taught"" from the Christian belief in creation.
Evolution - the process would start either from spontaneous life popping up on Earth or living organisms coming from space and from whichever science decides to use as fact all life would have evolved on a continual basis.......
The Bible says that Jacob show livestock some striped sticks when they mated and so they gave birth to striped offspring but we know that doesn't happen in real life. So we therefore know that the Bible isn't meant to be taken as literal history at all points.
All evolution is, is the process of diversification over successive generations. If god intended to make humans and implemented evolution as the tool to his end then there's nothing contradictory about the metaphor of breathing life into he clay of mankind.
