Creationism and particularly Young Earth Creationism is a dying belief...and for good reason. I'm here to throw a few more nails into that coffin.

@being

Yes i did earnestly go looking for the creator, at least as far as the Bible.
I found nothing.
But the idea of god is not incompatible with the fact of evolution.

@Pikachu I'm not talking about any Books Creator..:) I agree.. they're not contradictory.
I don't reject it but I also am open to anything, aliens, Atlantis, 165 D's (joking about the multiple dimensions, although there's great probability there too) evolution or new ideas that hasn't arrived yet.

@being

If you're not talking about religious dogma then you're not talking about creationism.

@Pikachu sorry I highly doubt you looked very deep at all. Or you would have evidence of it being false

@Klingwood

...are you under the impression that i don't have evidence that creationism is false?

We can for sure get into that if you're game

@Pikachu ohh I'm always game and I'm sure as many others have tried I'll have a good laugh. You see you can't take away the light I already have or the miracles I've been involved with.and I understand that only when the light finds you will you be able to comprehend

@Klingwood

I don't want to take away your light or the spiritual experiences you feel you've had.

But let's begin.

Are you familiar with human chromosome 2?

@Pikachu not much but your off to a bad start when it comes to what faith is and what it isnt

By the way I am working so I'd my response is slow forgive me

@Klingwood

well we're not talking about faith in this instance but observable evidence in the real world.
So you don't know what human chromosome 2 is?
Not trying to catch you out, just trying to establish a starting position.

@Pikachu no not really

@Klingwood

Examining genetic code has really given us a good reason to question why, if creation were true, it was done in such a way that it appears much more like common descent.
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes while the other great apes to which we are related have 24 pairs of chromosomes. On the face of it, this presents a problem for the theory of evolution and common decent. Why don’t the apes with whom we ostensibly share an ancestor have the same number of chromosomes as humans? According to evolution, all the great apes evolved from a common ancestor. Since an organism could not survive the complete deletion of a chromosome pair, evolution predicts that this missing pair must be extant somewhere in the gene code. If it’s not then evolution is dead in the water.
But it is and we find it at human chromosome number 2. There we find the missing chromosome pair sandwiched between two other chromosomes with telomeres (the caps usually found on the outside of a chromosome) in the middle. A fused pair of chromosomes. So that missing chromosome pair wasn’t missing, it had just been fused with another pair of ape chromosomes.

Why would a special created kind show this fusion?
It is easily explained by common descent but unexplained by special creation.

I am happy to answer any questions you have on this subject.

If you have none, i'd love to move on to the genetic issue of ERV (Endogenous Retro Viruses)

@Pikachu that doesn't change a thing. If we are related to apes ,why do apes still exist evolution eliminates the weak for the new stronger version so to speak therefore if I'm related to apes they should all be gone by now. And if so where is the half ape half human?as I said God is sovereign so I can't answer why he does everything he does but only guess for he hasn't told me and I don't expect him to

@Klingwood


Could you survive and thrive naked in the jungle? No.
So you're not a stringer version of other apes...under those conditions. That's what evolution selects for: beneficial traits under the condition that the species lives in.
So you can use a cell phone and read and network...is that going to give you an advantage in an environment where those skills are not beneficial? No.
You must abandon this perception of a hierarchy. Adaptive success is conditional.

@Klingwood

But make an effort. Using a starting point of creation, how would you account for that data?
