I don't think science is a threat to the bible in any way. I think evolution is the greatest threat to Christianity so far. I have always loved science but I have never seen how evolution should be included in science. See, I think God created a fully mature world. I think all the different animals and plants we see today are variations of the original created animals and plants. I know I am speaking in simple terms here, but bear with me. The taco bell dog I doubt was an original created pup. That dog could not survive in the wild and would die out pretty quick. I think God made an original dog, albeit I have no idea what it looked like. I think he made a pair in fact, and all the dogs we see today came from the first 2. The same goes for other kinds of animals. I call this variation of kinds. This is provable. I can never believe though that a lizard laid an egg and popped out a bird. There are just too many differences there and no transitional forms to back it. I wish evolutionists would not think that creationist do not like science that is just not true at all.

Well, you see, that is where we part company.

Evolution is science, has been for over 125 years, and will be with us a good long time more.

There is FAR too much evidence that backs it up, and far too many ways that it can and should have been falsified if it were not true.

Lack of transitionals, no, sorry, there are plenty of transitionals, lizard laying a bird? Would DISPROVE evolution, right now, no if's and's or but's.

I can NEVER understand why christians want to put god in a box, why would god tell a man 5000 years ago how he made the world? and HOW could he?

Well, you see here, I created this GRAND universe, and then decided that this would be a good spot in this particular galaxy to create a planet, then you know, I set up a really neat experiment, I seeded this ocean with some of the simplest life forms that I could come up with, then I let them loose, gave them tests to see how they would survive and diversify, and finally I ended up with a creature that calls itself man that started asking me all kinds of questions. So I gave the scribe the easiest and most comprehensive way that he could understand at the time.

Why couldn't have god have done that?

Why could he not have set it ALL in motion, and then sat back until a creature came about that actaully asked about him?

Why would he HAVE to do it the way he described to some man 5000 years ago? The guy would NOT have had a clue.

OK, so OK God, so you created this DNA molecule, and set it up so that it would not recreate perfectly, then did all this other biological stuff that I haven't a clue about, oh, no please go on......

Yo, god, by the way, what's DNA?

OK. So explain how all of this variety arose from the original pair.
