LOL Dude I was just reproving your statements on the "myth" because you were incorrectly stating what Scripture clearly says.

Now, "Diversify" is exactly what evolution is. Species branch into different area because they ADAPT. Adaptation is short-term evolution, or evolution that occurs very quickly.

What I meant by "diversify" is "variations". I will clarify below.....

Ok, if you are talking about evolution...which definition of evolution are you talking about?... because there are 6 definitions to the word.

[Religious] 1) Cosmic Evolution- origin of space, time and matter.
[Religious] 2) Chemical Evolution- origin of higher elements from hydrogen.
[Religious] 3) Stellar and Planetary Evolution- origin of stars and planets.
[Religious] 4) Organic Evolution- the origin of life
[Religious] 5) Macro Evolution- the change of one kind of animal to another kind.
[Scientific] 6) Micro Evolution- variation within the kinds (only this has been observered, and does not conflict with the story of creation in the bible)

Science is the study of things we can see, observe, and test.

Evolution is a religion. So is Christianity. Each one requires faith, as you will see.

But what each group does is gather the evidence that we can see, observe, and test to support their theories, evolution and christianity alike.

What I was referring to was #6 Micro "Evolution". It's not really evolution, but we are kinda stuck with the word. All it is a variation with in the kinds of animals.

Please allow me to elaborate...

A dog, a wolf, and a coyote are the same kind of animal. And they each had a common anscestor. A dog. Of course we have many different types of dogs...big ones small ones, different breeds, etc. But when you get down to it, it's still a dog. Same with birds, many different variations of birds out there to but its still a bird. No one has ever seen a dog produce a non-dog or a bird produce a non-bird. The same goes for every kind of animal. They bring forth after their kind. When I stated that Noah only had to take two (male and female) of every kind of animal into the ark, that's what I meant.

Also, a MAJOR part of what Sly said was "God did it".

You are correct in stating that. Like I stated above, each group has it's part of faith. Christians believe "in the beginning God" and evolutionists believe "in the beginning dirt (i.e. matter)" Just like a christian believes that God created everything, judged the earth with a flood, etc, the evolutionist has to believe some pretty wild things:

1)Space, time and matter were made from nothing,
2)non-living matter suddenly became alive (spontaneous generation),
3)then this living thing learned how to reproduce,
4)and that major kinds of animals turned into new kinds of animals.

None of the above have been observed. We don't see non-living things coming alive nor do we see a horse give birth to a dog. It does take an enormous amount of faith, maybe even more than christianity, to believe some of the stuff students of evolution have to believe. If you can't see that it requires faith to believe some of the stuff evolution teaches, I can't help ya there.

When evolutionists debate creationists, it is two religions debating each other, and should not be viewed as "Science" vs. "Christianity". It is two religions that use science (things we can see, observe, and test) to provide evidence for their theories. Christians cleary admit their theory is a religion, but most evolutionists won't admit theirs is a religion also.

This is NOT a viable scientific explanation because it cannot be proven. No proof whatsoever.

I stated that clams [pretrified and still closed mind you] have been found on mountain ranges all over the world and even on Mount Everest. This has been observed, and is clear evidence for a worldwide flood. How else would they have gotten there? I have a tough time coming up with a decent explanation besides... evolution gave them legs and they walked up Everest. :crazy:

Remember, things only become petrified by water activity.

OK, my hands are tired, I need a break. LOL
