    Well since I wasn't around when all this went down, reading and classes are what is available to me. Didn't claim to be an expert, remember? Lack of seminary has also been the downfall of many a novice.

    No, scripture says God is love. Haven't gotten to that part yet?

    Evolution is not creation and that is a fact. Evolution is time and chance, trial and error. That is not GOD!

    Scripture tells us clearly that death entered because of the rebellion of Adam:

    1st Corinthians 15:20-22
    20. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
    21. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
    22. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.


    Evolution tells an entirely different story. Both cannot be correct!

    No that is NOT a fact. I will not be disrespectful to you, but your statement simply is not true.

    It may be "intellectually" true for the completely naturalistic atheist.

    Are you claiming that death does not occur in biological evolution?

    So you are saying that Jesus was not speaking as God there?

    That he either did not know/lied/said wrongly?

    And when he talked about Demons possessing people, was that just to accomodate their thinking of that time then?

    Jesus and paul affirmed that there were 2 historical humans called afam?Eve, that there was a literal Fall, as genesis account not allegory/myth...

    Its not "might be/cpi;d be" as it happened in real history...

    Were Jesus and paul both wrong about this then?

    Both cannot be true, in the absolute sense of the term, as they mutually contridict each other!

    It says everything died. If you're getting at the insects, that wasn't even the original point, the point is that there would be more than 3 million animals on the ark if evolution did not exist in any shape or form. There simply wasn't enough room. You can't brush this off by saying well the animals who could survive the flood just wasn't on the ark. That's not what it says, it says everything not on the ark died. How about you re-read it and tell me which of those three verses says that there were some animals who weren't on the ark that survived anyway.

    You apparently don't understand Scripture:

    Genesis 7:13-16
    13. In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
    14.They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
    15. And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
    16. And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.


    Notice verse 14 which tells what went into the Ark. What did not go into the Ark?

    Now notice who died in the Flood:

    Genesis 7:21-23
    21. And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
    22. All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
    23. And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.


    Not all living creatures were in the Ark!

    Yep, only problem was that they weren't alive for much longer afterwards.

    You are wasting your time. He thinks he is smarter than all the scholars and scientists who would refute his personal assertion.

    Not at all OR. Death is a natural property of creation. The more interesting question to me, is why did God make it that way?

    Actually according to scripture it is not. It is a result of the fall.

    Actually Rev, scripture could just as likely be referring to spiritual death, but there have been numerous discussions about that. But just wanted to remind you of that.

    Before the fall, there was no sin in creation of God, so no death, so Evolution fails to explain that truth!
