If God does not determine these things, then who or what do you say does?

Does God cause your foot to itch? Does He make you think bad thoughts too? Your eye color is a product of your ancestral DNA based on simple Mendelian genetics. I don't think it matters one bit what color your eyes or skin or hair are; none of them makes you Christ-like.

The Creation is goverened by natural laws, and your eye color is a product of them.

I can assure you that Southern Baptists do not teach that satan buried fake . However, neither do Southern Baptists accept classic Darwinism

What exactly do Southern Baptists say aout dinosaur bones?

Many scientists throughout time thought that in their day they had figured out "the truth".

Charlatans maybe, but true scientists would never claim to know the truth. They only have working models.

How many of them were right by today's standards?

Roman aqueducts still work to this day, and Ptolemaic navigatinal system is still applciable even though it is not based on the heliocentric system.

How many of them will still be right 500 years from now? Man LOVES to fancy himself as having figured everything out.

All of them that work today should still work 500 years from now (provided the earth doesn't undergo radical climactic or cosmic changes).

So you've aligned yourself with the evolutionists, eh, and the god of random selection?

"For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive?" -- 1 Corinthians 4:17


"Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself

That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;

That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers" -- Isaiah 44:24-26

Does God cause your foot to itch?

Sure, if it is a part of His plan. For an extreme example, I'm sure it has happened that God caused someone's foot to itch such that he scratched it, thereby delaying the person from putting on his shoes to go out on an errand by a few seconds. Those few seconds of delay wound up meaning the difference between life and death in a car accident that was barely avoided by just a few seconds. In all honesty, that does not sound crazy to me at all.

Does He make you think bad thoughts too?

If by "bad thoughts" you mean sinful thoughts, then NO, He does not do that. God does not force anyone to sin. The Bible says that God does not tempt anyone.

Your eye color is a product of your ancestral DNA based on simple Mendelian genetics. I don't think it matters one bit what color your eyes or skin or hair are; none of them makes you Christ-like.

You underestimate how much God loves us. I said in an earlier post that my eye color could not possibly be a result of chance since green is my wife's favorite color for eyes. I know for a FACT that God brought my wife and me together. Praise and glory be to Him for doing so. :)

What exactly do Southern Baptists say about dinosaur bones?

Nothing, officially. I don't have any across-the-board numbers, but just in my own church there are plenty of young-earthers and plenty of old-earthers.
