How about taking the marrow out of a rib, creating a glob of stem cells, pulling out the Y chromosome from a single stem cell and replacing it with an X. And then using some unknown technique to set the whole thing growing into a new human... -
Well then. If you don't believe the bible version of the creation, then you can't very well say that you don't find any contradiction between that and evolution.Originally posted by beefytee View Post
I might as well say that I find no contradiction between the bible and evolution, because I don't think Charles Darwin was being literal.Comment

I didn't much care about this until this weekend when the missus, after declaring she was going all-vegan for the evening, tried to take one of my smoked ribs without my consent, and based her attempted theft on the precedent that "Eve took a rib from Adam, and I'm following her lead." It's horrible how some use scripture to justify wrongful acts.Originally posted by beefytee View PostComment

It's interesting how prior to some meddling in the thread that Theistic Evolutionism was winning and after some meddling Evolutionary Creationism pulled into the lead. I might have more influence on CB than I thought."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

Jarid, you left out one option: "I don't know exactly how God did it, but I think he did it." But maybe that is one of your options. I can't tell. Anyway, that's where I am.“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

See, DDD would've taken this and made comic gold out of it without going blue.

Because I think God knows more than scientists. This is not a novel thought.Originally posted by SCcoug View Post

Because the best scientific explanation changes. At least that's why I don't accept it.Originally posted by SCcoug View PostNot that, sickos.Comment

Meh. A theory will continue to evolve as new/more compelling evidence presents itself. Scientific thought that doesn't change isn't really science.Originally posted by thesaint258 View PostLast edited by Jarid in Cedar; 07-07-2010, 09:00 AM."The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."

That answer fits in the spectrum of what intelligent design will encompass. Do you consider yourself in the new earth(~5000 years old) or old earth(billions of years old) camp?Originally posted by LA Ute View Post"The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."
