God Created [Spirituality & Religion]

I will be removing all rude and condescending comments.

There are currently 829 comments and so many of them are rude and condescending!

Currently, there is a rather misleading thread which asks...

"For my creationist friends who reject that evolution has occurred: What do you consider to be the best COUNTER-EVIDENCE that evolution has occurred?"

This question is misleading. Most Creationists believe that God created a world with many Kinds of creatures and that these creatures multiplied and grew in diversity. We believe that God used genes as building blocks for creatures in the same way that we might use cement to build very different structures. Similarities between creatures that are of different Kinds are simply the result of having the same building blocks. A dome structure and a skyscraper might both use cement but the similarity means nothing. It means nothing in biology as well.

Similarities between organisms might be used to classify organisms but using similarities to make assumptions about origins is ridiculous!

I am, however, thankful that God gave each Kind of creature the genetic ability to become diverse. So, we have many kinds of birds... many breeds of dogs... etc. Some call this ability evolution... but it does not imply that dogs came from an ancient bacterial ancestor. lolol.

So, does evolution occur? Yes, within each Kind of animal, of course! Does that mean that Darwin's dream might have merit? Of course not. The intricacies of nature and the masterful use of genetic building blocks implies a Creator... an organic architect and engineer.

Interesting discussion. As a scientist I am amazed at how creation started, beit the big bang or whatever. Did something start it all? That is how i see God.

@samueltyler2 Nature lacks sufficient causation. Especially when you look at the information contained in the DNA of even the most simple life form. Not only is the information there it is accessed by the life form and used to continue living. It truly is amazing. Simple atoms bumping into each other are simply not capable of such things.

@samueltyler2 using ?god did it' as some sort of explanation explains nothing... not even itself

@newjaninev2 there is no real explanation, it is just that on a scientific basis, there is no explanation, yet, as to the primal force that started everything rolling.

@samueltyler2 that's correct - science does not yet have an established explanation, although there are some interesting possibilities kicking around.

It's worth noting that even the term 'primal force' refers to an unfounded supposition, and that 'started' requires the existence of spacetime, which didn't exist. It was the rapid inflation of the singularity that allowed spacetime to come into play, so there was no 'before the singularity expanded'.

@newjaninev2 I agree, I accept the theory of the big bang, I just don't really understand it. The newest telescopes showing the universe nearly at its birth ae really astounding, and give great food for thought.

@samueltyler2 If by 'scientific' you mean 'natural' or 'materialist' I completely agree. There is no natural/materialistic cause. However science shouldn't be limited to the natural/materialist and should start looking at the Super Natural Cause.
