Thanks.
Did that seem overly subtle to you?

God Bless, and I added your blog site to my links of places to go - one more source of inspiration and to show me other areas that might benefit from my prayers...
I think you meant to say that evolution was a fact, but it is not, it is a widely accepted theory. Some believe the facts support that theory, but I believe otherwise on the basis of two things:
1) The more we study anatomy and molecular biology, we find the mechanisms to be more complex and not less. We find heavy redundancy and intricate mechanisms that cannot be explained by chance.
2) Theologically speaking (and this is a thread from that viewpoint), God created everything "Good". There was only one thing that was not "Good", and that was that Adam did not have his mate. The "Good" in this sense is perfect. And also the sense in which God is "Good" (as Jesus said "there is no one good, but God", in response to the rich young ruler). Thus the creation before Adam fell was perfect with no errors, no sin and no death.
Theologically, the statement that death entered the human race, is correct. So theologically, the idea that death came before Adam is not supported. 3) Evolutionarily speaking, one believes in the "survival of the fittest" and evolutionists have stated that this justifies doing anything, including rape and murder to propagate the species.
Thus, Scientifically, Theologically and Morally, I have reasons to suspect the Theory of evolution and I suspect, as time goes on, the complexity found in the creation will obsolete that theory simply on the basis of a superceding one.
