A 72-ton carrier doesn't sound all that amazing :0)

Sure it does. It's amazing you could land any kind of airplane on one so small.

well, that's that, so there .... And since that can pretty much be applied as a reply for any subject, why do we bother to study anything at all? .. Oh, wait, that's actually your point isn't it? There is no point to study or explain anything at all, God designed and built it that way and that's the answer to everything? I knew that's what I should have put down as answer in my Quantum Physics and Partial Differential Equation final exams :)

It's actually a little more complex than that. If you want to study quantum physics go for it. It's a great science and I'm sure we create wonderful things with the knowledge we gain from studying God's creation. However, the problem comes when we start thinking that the creation is the be all and end all.

Rom 1:25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Spooky, ain't it?

The way to become wise is to understand that you don't know anything and not to lean on your own understanding. Instead, trust that God speaks to his servants through scripture and will lead you into all truth.

I can only imagine that the newest ideas in quantum physics like string theory, parallel universes and the theory that there are more than 4 dimensions must make the creationist heads explode.

Check out this link from Scientific American:

COSMOLOGY
Parallel Universes
Not just a staple of science fiction, other universes are a direct implication of cosmological observations
By Max Tegmark
"Is there a copy of you reading this article? A person who is not you but who lives on a planet called Earth, with misty mountains, fertile fields and sprawling cities, in a solar system with eight other planets? The life of this person has been identical to yours in every respect. But perhaps he or she now decides to put down this article without finishing it, while you read on. The idea of such an alter ego seems strange and implausible, but it looks as if we will just have to live with it, because it is supported by astronomical observations. The simplest and most popular cosmological model today predicts that you have a twin in a galaxy about 10 to the 1028 meters from here. This distance is so large that it is beyond astronomical, but that does not make your doppelgänger any less real.".....

He probably designed it before time began. When was this exactly?

Seriously? It wasn't a "when" it was before (for want of a better word) the creation of space/time, before the creation of our physical universe.

[Celtjew Libertarian]

It is humbling that God created a process (Evolution) that ended up with such a beautifully complex thing such as a human being.

Which is, I think, just a subprocess of the larger process, by which complex order emerges from chaos. That, in my opinion, God's ultimate miracle of creation.

Interesting fish, interesting article.

This article is very similar to an article published in the Plain Truth magazine about 30 years ago. Nice to see it come around again...

[Thatcherite]

no, its called variation, as those variation have certain limits and will not cross past them, thus the finches remain finches, the bacteria remain bacteria, the man and woman, remain men and women, that is called design.

Fascinating. What is the physical mechanism that defines the limits that cannot be crossed?

[DouglasKC]

And signed His Name to it, just like the flagellum that kills infants and children.

Actually that's an incorrect understanding. God designed nothing that kills. Death and destruction came about because of the rebellion of man and Satan.

Now that I agree with. It's a question, however, of whether he designed processes (and at what level) or end-products.

Stupid articles like this make it hard to take organized religion seriously.

So, when a zebra eats and kills grass, that is because he is a Satan infested sinner?

LOL

[Central Scrutiniser]

It is a very idiotic article. But remember, the lead creationist went to college!

[DouglasKC]

What evidence have you that the bible is an accurate source of information?

For one, there are close to 50 predictions in the Bible that for-tell the events of Jesus' life on earth that have come to pass...

Mathematicians say that the odds of that happening are 1 in 10 (with 370 zeros after the ten)...That's far more than close enough for me...And should be for everyone...

[Celtjew Libertarian]

God designed nothing that kills. Death and destruction came about because of the rebellion of man and Satan.

So God didn't create Satan?

[freedumb2003]

God created humor, too.

And I thank Him constantly for that.

[freedumb2003]

That is a classic!!!

I haven't seen it in quite some time! Thanks for bringing it back out for us. :)

Not exactly. If you're truly interested I'll be glad to share it with you.

So, the lion that goes after a gazelle is just playing? Carnivores had no need for meat before Satan?
