It is not in least bit foolish to consider there was a superseding set of laws in operation when the earth was formed and God created life. We all know the law of gravity right? We can reproduce it at will. Yet airplanes fly because of principles of aerodynamics..."breaking" the law of gravity.
The problem with creation is: it's just not happening any more - no truly new species observable, no amazing spontaneous life happening today.
Evolution "science", falsely so called, simply cannot reproduce the beginning. Since creation cannot be observed, the deceitful explanations cannot be easily shown for what they are: lies. It takes effort to falsify the nonsense of this so called "science". And every time one falsehood is finally exposed, another plausible theory is hastily devised because the blind faith of anti-God won't seriously even consider any contradicting evidence. It's remotely like today's mainstream media, in a way, but I almost feel that one has a better chance of truth with today's political hacks than with the evolution "science" hacks.
2 Peter 3:1 ¶ This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: 2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: 3 ¶ Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
Let evolution "science", falsely so called, devise an observable, repeatable, testable method to create a simple, single living Maple leaf from raw chemicals and I'll convert.
In fact, evolution-in-action is observed every day, so it's not even theory, it's fact.
Of course, you can't see it, because you won't accept the theory, so you claim some other word describes it: not "evolution" but "adaption".
But it's the same thing: evolution is simply adaption repeated millions of times, until different descendant groups no longer normally interbreed with each other, at which point scientists identify a new "species".
But before there can be a new species, there must first come adaptions through different breeds and sub-species.
These we see every day.
And the precise scientific interface between a sub-species, species and genus, is often a matter of definitions and debates.
We can see any number of examples, a famous one being Polar Bears: once considered a separate genus, now "downgraded" to just another species within the Ursus genus, among other reasons because it was found they can, and sometimes do, interbreed with brown bears.
mbj: "Evolution "science", falsely so called, simply cannot reproduce the beginning.
Since creation cannot be observed, the deceitful explanations cannot be easily shown for what they are: lies."
It appears that you truly don't know what evolution theory is, and therefore mischaracterize it.
Basic science deals in four general areas:
Basic facts of evolution (descent with modifications, natural selection) are observed every day.
Evolution theory is confirmed by any number of falsifiable predictions.
Various hypotheses relating to evolution -- i.e., on the origin of life itself -- have not been, and likely cannot be, strongly confirmed, since, as you might point out: even if life could be recreated in a laboratory someday, that would not necessarily confirm it happened in nature, billions of years ago.
So, it is not a matter of scientists telling "lies", but rather of various popularizers failing to distinguish between observed facts, confirmed theories and unconfirmed hypotheses (aka S.W.A.G.s).
mbj: "And every time one falsehood is finally exposed, another plausible theory is hastily devised because the blind faith of anti-God won't seriously even consider any contradicting evidence."
Clearly, you don't understand what the word "science" means, or it's first basic rule: natural explanations for natural processes.
By definition, science cannot deal with supernatural causes or effects, and if you attempt to inject those into science, then the result is, by definition, no longer "science".
It might then be metaphysics, or theology, or religious faith, but it's not "science".
Science by definition only deals with the natural world, not the supernatural.
mbj: "Let evolution 'science', falsely so called, devise an observable, repeatable, testable method to create a simple, single living Maple leaf from raw chemicals and I'll convert."
Obviously, you deeply confuse and misunderstand what science is all about.
Nobody "converts" to science!!
Science is simply a body of natural explanations for natural processes, which you are free to accept or not accept as you may chose.
But what you cannot legitimately do is claim that your religion is just another "science", or that science is just another religion.
By definition, neither are true.
As for possible natural origins of life on earth, there are several unconfirmed hypotheses, including abiogenisis and panspermia.
Nobody is asked to "believe" or "convert" to any of them -- they are simply ideas that some scientists are working to confirm or falsify through various laboratory experiments.
Point is: nothing in science should ever challenge your religious faith, because science by definition is not religious.
The philosophical term for science is "methodological naturalism", meaning it tries to provide natural explanations, without reference to the supernatural, or to ancient texts.
You can consider whatever model of superseding laws you want - they are not of any practical use when they depend upon unpredictable and unreproducible action.
Airplanes are subject to gravity when they fly, the force of gravity is matched by an equal and opposite force of ‘lift’ from aerodynamics.
Right now stars are forming via gravity and nuclear fusion off in the heavens. Are these stars not created by God? The Bible says I was created from dust, and to dust I will return; but I was also created via cellular processes involving DNA. Was my creation “from dust” less literal than the creation of Adam “from dust”?
That science changes it’s models based upon new evidence is a strength of science - not a mark of shame. Contradicting evidence IS considered, and fit into the refined or new model.
Just as gravity through universal attraction of mass is not a theory about how mass was created - evolution through natural selection of genetic variation is not a theory about how life was created.
But once there is life, with a molecular form of inheritance that is subject to change, evolution through natural selection of genetic variation is inevitable.
