>> Wait a minutes, the Bible details the origin of primates? <<
The Bible “Literalists” want us to make the “assumption”(which they accuse most scientists of making assumptions based of a line of fossil evidence) that they are somehow related to Cain or married Cain after he was kicked out of the family for killing Abel or some such thing.
So yeah, Cain apparently WAS a monkey’s uncle....
The Bible contains both literal and figurative passages.
The professing Christian should be careful to not add or take away from the Bible, lest we make up our own religion, which, of course, would be completely pointless.
Engineers and scientists, despite what they have been habituated to say, could never design anything by the process of evolution; it is mathematically impossible. Many have always maintained that, more and more are admitting it.
I have written software for 20 years, so I’m a technologically backward person who “clings” to the Bible out of fear of technology. I cling to it for a much different reason.
To anyone reasonably skillful at writing computer programs, it is obvious that it would be impossible to make random changes to programs until an improvement is found. Each program change is designed after analysis of the prior version, so “incremental change” properly describes design changes over time, not “evolution” that advertising likes to refer to. Technical designs do not “evolve”.
The number of possible combinations of characters in only a 10-character program is in the billions, yet very few of those 10-character combinations would be a program that would compile, let alone do something that made sense. For a 1,000 line program, the total possible character combinations is off-the-charts large. And yet, a 1,000 line computer program is preposterously simple in comparison to a “natural machine”, for example, a tree or a worm. They are machines that show an enormous amount of order. Engineers and scientists all wholeheartedly agree that in the natural universe order does not spring from disorder. Except when “evolution” is discussed. Then, people tend to say, well, it happens over a long period of time, and sort of yada yada, then they dismiss disbelief in evolution as crazy.
