Cambrian rock layers contain fossils that represent almost every modern phylum of animal, plus many that are now extinct. One animal fossil in particular would win the weird prize, if there were one. Paleontologists have been piecing together this strange creatures body parts, which look as though they were taken from an array of totally different sea animals. This variety of features eludes an evolutionary explanation.
The parts of this particular fossilized animal had previously been described separately and given different names, as though they belonged to different creatures. But a recent study revealed that all these parts came from just one totally strange sea creature...

Nope....not seein' ANYthing weird at all.....
I am one person, not 'You guys'. It is very strange that you would ally with a movement that has a 20 year goal of replacing God in our culture with the great ID! OTOH, it is not strange since you will not declare that God and the ID are one and the same.
Genesis.
I once thought that but now I think the movement has its own goals to become the religion replacing God with the ID.
You are a phony Christian; your checklist is therfore of academic interest only. No real Christian is of sufficiently weak faith to cling desperately to the literal truth of the bible.
Bucky seems awfully concerned about the opinions of Man...
Funny, we’re all just decorated dust, sinners, and “all our righteousnesses are but filthy rags” (Isa 64:6).
Bucky, if you’re interested in an opinion that really counts, God wrote it out for you, and it’s freely available online if you don’t want to buy or borrow a Bible.
A "scientist" won't discover it, as the whole ideology is based on a single lie - that man is "basically good".
The "culprit" is this guy
On what criteria do you make that determination?
It's ironic that evos go ballistic when a creationist makes a comment about an evo not being a true Christian; they get all bent out of shape and start quoting verses about not judging people and all.
But then they turn around and do the very thing that they condemn in others, pass judgment based on who knows what, about whether someone else is a Christian.
Why is it that evos feel that they have the right to do to others what they condemn in others doing to them?
No real Christian is of sufficiently weak faith to cling desperately to the literal truth of the bible.
That is not your determination to make, but God's only. Jesus never condemned people for weak faith like you do. He encouraged them. He said that if you had faith the size of a mustard seed, we could move mountains and nothing would be impossible for us.
It's not the amount of faith that is the critical issue, it's what the faith is in. Weak faith in a strong God is more effective than strong faith in weak man.
Matthew 17:19-21 Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, "Why couldn't we drive it out?" He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
You mean this verse where He said He used the dust of the earth?
Gen 2:7 7then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.
Or this verse where God says He used the dust of the earth?
Gen 2:19 Now out of the ground the LORD God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them.
Just to note, man was not a living being when he was created, which demonstrates that God did not evolve man from another living creature.
There’s no plainer way that God could have indicated that He did not use evolution than that. Any other interpretation is reading more into it than it says. Why do people want to lie about what the Bible plainly and clearly says?
Thanks for the ping!
Oh, I own a bible. Several, in fact. My Christian faith, however, is sufficiently strong that I am not forced to adhere to the literal truth of the physical book to remain a believer.
You accuse me of concern for the opinions of man, yet it is you who clings to the physical product of man while claiming to be the blessed one.
You are a phony Christian.
Can’t you cultists do anything without summoning the posse?
How’s the weather in the microcosm today, cultmom?
You may be correct, sadly...
That site doesn't explain "the differences between Protestant and Catholic theology," it contrasts "Catholic tradition" and "the Bible." It says the Catholic Church violates the teachings of the Bible in ways that are sins and that anger God, and it illustrates the point with a crude drawing of the Pope in league with Satan to promote a perverted Bible. It's vile anti-Catholic bigotry, and you should be ashamed of yourself for defending it.
Something RESEMBLING a “fish” “scale” was found....that assumes that nothing in the history of animal life on Earth has ever had scales other than fish.......and where’s the actual “fish” this scale came from?? I find it hard to believe that a scale found in the cambrian layer means that all fish species were there during the cambrian period.
...butterflies/moths have scales...that’s why their “order” is LEPIDoptera....”scaled wings”, snakes have scales, fish have scales...some insects even LOOK like fish scales.
Where’re ALL the current ocean-dwelling animals found in the cambrian layer? No whales? No striped bass? No tuna? No bluefish? No humuhumunukunukuapua’a?
Not ONE?
Funny, you calling me a "phony Christian" - based on what authority? You have no authority. Neither do I, personally, to judge your salvation.
All I'll do is point you to the Word of God, which you call a "product of man". This claim that it is a "product of man" shows your ignorance of the Bible. I can judge your ignorance, without judging your salvation.
2 Timothy 3:15-17
15and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16All Scripture is God-breathed* and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
*Other translations:
kjv: All scripture is given by inspiration of God
nasb: All Scripture is inspired by God
2 Peter 1:20-21
20Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. 21For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
"Above all"... hmmm... seems that this point is pretty important.
[[Bucky seems awfully concerned about the opinions of Man...]]
Yes he does- He’s more concerned with looking good in the eyes of man than he is in actually listenign to God about how to be saved (or anythign else for that matter-) Bucky has his own bible that he follows, and it certainly doesn’t ressemble hte actual word of God- He even denies basic tennents of the Word of God claiming that these tennents are nothign more than ‘man’s word’ open to interpretation however one sees fit (regardless of whether other areas of God’s word contradict his interpretations)
[[Bucky, if youre interested in an opinion that really counts, God wrote it out for you]]
He isn’t- it’s more important ot him that people view him as religious- the outside appearing clean, whiel hte inside rejects the word of God
Bucky’s following statement perfectly point out his vitriol against God’s word and those hwo beleive God and His word
“No real Christian is of sufficiently weak faith to cling desperately to the literal truth of the bible.”
Yep- silly Christians, always putting hteir trust in God- How silly of us
godless leftist secular humanists

LOL. I’m quite offended, tpanther, that you neglected to call me the communist nazi monkey loving kicker of small dogs in your post above.
As I asked cultmom: How’s the weather in the microcosm today?
Your brand of cult Christianity is phony. My authority for saying so? You won’t answer THE question.
