I provided you proof, now you provide proof that animals just pop out of nothing. Where is your evidence for that?
You provided people’s opinions. That’s the classic appeal to authority. Never mind the contradiction between the notion of evolution, whose sole purpose is to try to explain the universe sans God, and “ex nihilo”.
You aren’t a bot, are you? Yiu are very repetitive.
You ignore all the scientific evidence me and others in this thread have thrown at you. But please go ahead and deny God’s use of evolution to create life at your own peril. Please also remember the ONE and TRUE church which Jesus founded, the Catholic church, has stated evolution is compatible with the faith.
That nobody can say exactly how DNA developed doesn’t invalidate the theory of evolution. Science still has its mysteries.
I presume you’re just not interested in employing logic. Further presuming you’re a real person, have a nice day.
Says the person ignoring all the scientific evidence
That wasn’t the implication of the article I posted. It questions their utility as a marker of evolution, not as a cause.
I noticed that I haven't even bothered to look at the videos.
Yeah it shows
1--that's his/her opinion
2--I'm not Catholic
3--If you cannot support your position with Scripture, then it's wrong.
“1—that’s his/her opinion”
He studied theology for decades, what is your qualification?
” 2—I’m not Catholic”
Your loss
” 3—If you cannot support your position with Scripture, then it’s wrong.”
Nothing in scripture negates evolution so you lost the argument
Creation was done is 7 literal days. God made creation fully formed.
Evolution is negated in Scripture.
Sorry but Genesis creation is not speaking literally, even Jewish scholars admit that it is not meant to be taken literal, although it is still true on a metaphorical level

"Sorry but Genesis creation is not speaking literally, even Jewish scholars admit that it is not meant to be taken literal, although it is still true on a metaphorical level"
Beginnings: Genesis not only means ‘beginning’, but it is the book of beginnings. The book of Genesis gives us our historical point of reference, from which all subsequent revelation proceeds. In the book of Genesis all the major themes of the Bible have their origin. It is a book of many beginnings: in it we see the beginning of the universe, of man and woman, of human sin and the fall of the race, the beginning of God’s promises of salvation, and the beginning of the nation Israel as the chosen people of God because of God’s special purpose for them as the channel for Messiah and Savior. In Genesis we learn about Adam and Eve, about Satan the tempter, about Noah, the flood, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph and his brothers. But here we also have the beginning of marriage, family, work, sin, murder, capitol punishment, sacrifice, races, languages, civilization, Sabbath, the first attempt at a united nations, and Babylonianism. The Bible is, through and through, a historical revelation. It is the account of God’s activity in history.Notice that last sentence. It is the account of God's activity in history. To give an accurate and true account of activity, one cannot use metaphorical language.
Genesis is a history book--not a poetry/metaphorical book.
I understand that you are Catholic, and that you don't read your bible on a regular basis, relying on others to give you your interpretations. However, those others are wrong, if this is what you believe.
