A major evolutionary innovation has unfurled right in front of researchers' eyes. It's the first time evolution has been caught in the act of making such a rare and complex new trait.
And because the species in question is a bacterium, scientists have been able to replay history to show how this evolutionary novelty grew from the accumulation of unpredictable, chance events.

It’s not a matter of the Greek texts; it’s that Luke’s genealogy seems to be trace natural descent through Mary, and Matthew’s His legal genealogy through Joseph.
Wrong again. The Bible uses the phrase "the evening and the morning were the ___ day" to make it clear that it was normal days. Tough for the propagandists.
I don’t share your high opinion of Hanegraaff, but would be surprised if he actually said Genesis was “allegorical.”
As to the other, it’s simply that I’m at work. Easy to do; I’ll bring the references later, and we’ll see whether yours was an honest question.
Those look good. I make mine with blueberries.
I'll say that as loud as I can. The word of God is shielded in numeric perfection that transcends all attempts to unravel it. Learn about it, and you won't look this foolish again.
yom is never unambiguously used with an ordinal or cardinal number in reference to anything but a normal day. Or, put positively, whenever yom is found in conjunction with a number, the reference is always to a normal day.
Then again, Mark, John, and Paul's books don't specifically mention the virgin birth.
Nope! Linear expression; all derivatives are the same.
The virgin birth is alluded to in John and Galatians, as I take them; not that it matters. BY WHICH I MEAN, if someone isn't persuaded by accounts as unambiguous as Matthew's and Luke's, 475 other allusions wouldn't make any difference.
Limiting it to just the choice of English translation and interpretation we use often means we miss the beauty of the original language and we also limit ourselves to really understanding the deeper meanings in what we are reading.
Do you have the verse for John? I've read about the one in Galatians (although a stretch IMO).
If Hank the crank Hannegraaff knows more than you, I feel sorry for you! His hatred for God's word is depressing.
Um, I was discussing integrals - I thought that was obvious to the casual observer? An integral is, of course, the sum of a bunch of areas, each of which has some non-zero height, and width “0”. So an integral is the sum of a bunch of zeros, with a non-zero answer.
What are you talking about? Some vague lesbague trick in hilbert space, using non-euclidian geometry, which completely ignores reimann? Have you discarded the standard metric in your topology?
Or macroeconomics? Personally, I always thought macro e. is lower that socialogy, but that is just my humble opinion...
And this is testable, observable and repeatable, how?
Did you forget “evening?”
What then was being divided? And why was it repeated six times? You’re reaching, and you know it.
The other is (again, from memory) in Galatians 4, referring to Jesus born under the Law, born of a woman. This is an allusion to Genesis 3:15, which foreshadows the virgin conception.
Really, so in Genesis 1:5, when the same version of Yom was used in describing the '..light of day..' and '...were the first day', that 'light of day' was a normal day, not a general reference to daylight? Or in Genesis 8:22, when the Bible says 'day and night' shall not cease, using the same form of Yom, it was referring to that physical day, not the form of day as a general term? Or how about Psalms 96:2, when David sings to the Lord of his salvation from day to day, it was just a couple of literal days there and not a general statement of always praising God for salvation? Or when Obadiah proclaims "the day of the Lord" is at hand, he was making sure folks marked a specific calendar event and not a statement of an age. Or when Zephaniah proclaims to praise God on the day of the Lord, he really just told people to praise God one day?
Not sure where you get your information, but I would suggest in investing in a good Greek dictionary and Concordance.
Quit trying to reinvent zero.
LOL - why? Mathamaticians must invent everything, before they believe it.
You see, that’s what happens when you don’t read or think, but just kneejerk out a cut-and-paste answer. You make yourself look silly.
Now, read my statement (which you thoughtfully cut and paste), and then answer your own question.
