I would like a pro-evolutionist to explan briefly how either of the following complex systems could have evolved:
Do you deny the existance of SO MANY genes that are identical between SO MANY different species INCLUDING MAN?

Why is that - how can SO MANY things be found IN MAN and also SO MANY animals?

HOW IS IT that animals have eyes, brains, hearts and LUNGS like we do - and YET we can think and reason - YET the animals have 100% of what we have physiologically?

WHY is it that NO LIFEFORMS arose out of compounds other than carbon and didn't make use of GENES (which contain those 'blueprints' passed around from various species for eyes and brains and other 'complex systems'.)?

LIFE on earth has *more* of a common denominator than even the 'creationists' can conceive.

To believe as they do - they must *actually* place limits on God's abilities and God's notion of the universe and ignore his many laws that the universe he created obeys.

They are instead imposing their own narrow, restricted view of nature *and* of God on God and his wonderful and many-splendored creation ...

I answer your simple question with a simple question: Why not?

Actually, I can give a why as well, albeit theoretical only. Imagine you wanted to create a planet where sentient beings could run around making their own decisions and entertain you (kind of like an ant farm only more sophisticated). So you create an ecosystem including the planet, sun, and even cosmic rays, that supports the beings you create.

Then you create the beings to inhabit this planet. They breathe air, drink water, and use each other for food. The sentient being is, of course, man. Man occupies the most complex of these beings, which is also called man. The only relavant difference between man and all the other things on the planet is that man contains a spirit and soul. Other than that, he is just so much meat, like the rest of the animals on the planet.

I digress, but doesn't it make sense that if you are going to create an ecosystem for diverse living things to thrive, they would share many components.

Think of it as object oriented creation and everything is a "class."

None of this limits God. It simply suggests that that is the way He did it here, on this particular planet, or in this particular universe.

We cannot even concieve of how much we don't know or understand. Thanks to all mankind has learned up to the present time, we have become unbelieveably arrogant in our belief in our own understanding.
