However, God does have a sense of humor, and I do hope he only laughs at those who waste so much time and energy on this.
It does not teach you how to live your life.
It does not teach you how to treat your fellow man.
We are NOT required to believe in a “Young Earth” or to totally reject Darwinism, in order to be Christians.
Without “failure” there can be no PERFECTION. In economics, it is a fact of life that systems that do not allow failure do not survive, and systems that do not allow experimentation, with the obvious risk of failure, will not do well.
Biology works, pretty much, the same way.
None of us will know precisely what happened until God DOES tell us, directly -— but it does not matter to your soul what you believe.
How would YOU explain cell structure and DNA to the Biblical masses?
The order of the various species is pretty close, in the Bible, to what Darwin claims.
Adam from dust or the old cells of other living things, comes about as close to DNA as the Bible could get, in that period of time. (Some of those dead cells, in the humus that God used, might have been from monkeys, huh?)
Again, this is a silly debate if you take it too seriously.
Interesting, perhaps, if you have an open mind —— but you do not, apparently.
It's mainly evolutionites and not Christians who require the explanation. RNA/DNA is an information code, and information codes do not just sort of happen, and the utter failure of the fruit fly experiments in the early decades of the previous century totally destroyed any sort of notion that macroevolution occurs in anything resembling the manner in which evolutionites claim it does.
