The Odds of Evolution Are Zero

How wearisome. Darwin? Really? Talk about straw men. The facts of evolution transcend the antiquated definitions used by know-nothing creationists. Sure Darwin was a pioneer and he didn't get everything right, not by a long shot. But the facts of modern science reveal the plasticity and reproductive capacity of non- living dynamic systems at the margins of life. Processes that Darwin never dreamed of are now recorded in the laboratory.

God has created an amazing world. To deny it is to insult God.

But more important, there's no need to reject God to accept scientific findings and visa versa -- it's not either or. It is certainly a matter of understanding where the natural realm ends and the supernatural begins.

Actually I think that the bible and "observation" are in direct conflict. The first example that comes to mind is the biblical statement about the age of the universe being 6000 years and science which is limited to observation and can only see a universe that is billions of light years in size. Science is blind to miracles as you said. Creation is a miracle per the bible so they must conflict.

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
2 Peter 3:8

Do the Math, its similar so no conflict.

A day is a day.

[[So, you are here as an insult artist, practicing your trade, uninterested in reasoned conversation.]]

You’re finally seeing that?

[Elsie]

All of which I'd guess you already know, but chose to mock it, for what reason?

Easy answer: To SHOW that mere 'dna' differences are NOT producing any VISIBLE changes to creatures.

[Elsie]

Both of these books are a little beyond my understanding, but still readable enough to grasp their basic ideas.

They are beyond ANYONE's 'understanding'; that's why that HAVE to be taken on 'belief'!

(a little historical perspective...)

(a little hysterical perspective...)

Meanwhile - in grant-funded reality land:

Bingo!

[Elsie]

It is certainly a matter of understanding where the natural realm ends and the supernatural begins.

Perhaps I'd not mock so much if you could explain just WHERE this division is placed right now...

HUH??

... the biblical statement about the age of the universe being 6000 years...

I seem to have MISSED this data in my bible.

Here is a hint, check Genesis. It's the first book btw.

[ConservativeWarrior]

And now the evasion.

You argue like a lib. haha

Ahh grasshopper, when you are able to snatch a basic understanding of entropy and the 2ND law of thermodynamics from Algore’s interwebbs, then you will be able to answer the question... with “yes”.

Please reference the chapter and verse in Genesis where it says the world is 6000 years old?
