"Who says that "the Fall" occured inside Time? If one is outside Time, then by definition there can be no death, since death is a product of Time - that is to say, of change and evolution. Mankind Falls, and is therefore in Time, and therefore can die, can change, can evolve."
In which case man is not the product of evolution, since man existed before evolution, likewise for everything else. I don't have a problem with micro-evolution (minor changes over time without creation of a new species).
"And since evolution also recognizes that animals also bring forth their own kind, there is no contradiction there, either."
Evolution, macro-evolution to be specific, requires one kind to mutate over generations into another, so at some point you have one kind bringing forth a new kind.
If you want to try and hammer a square peg into a round hole, be by guest, but creationism and evolution are incompatible and name calling and insulting people isn't going to change that or win anyone to your side.

Smart money is on my side Find one. Just one other earthlike planet. A place where we can simply land, clear a field, plant crops, and go from there for a few million years.
Then maybe we can talk about money.

"Science will simply deal with the evidence as it is discovered."
I don't have that much faith in scientists. Politicaly incorrect studies are avoided, and when they are done they are attacked and suppressed. What could be more politicaly incorrect than something that virtually proves creation? It's all theoretical of course, I don't expect it to happen untill after the second coming. :)

the show was a twilight zone.... the wife has the complete series and it is cool to watch them... rod serling is a master. they end up shooting him back into space to set things right again.
my theory on the planets, they are moving towards the sun, and will eventually crash into it, but before they do, each will pass through the ring of life, the precise distance from the sun to sustain life....

Without that big moon no planet will be an earthAnd you point is? Does life required a moon?

I'm pretty sure there was a movie of the same thing. I clearly remember him reading text reflected in a mirror and driving on the wrong side of the road before they figure out what happned after he gets back. In the end he dies when they launch him back into space and things go wrong when he has to dock with his mirror self. It was old, but in color, and too long for a TZ episode.
