Have you considered any other viewpoints?

Distinguishing facial features evolved in man so we could differentiate between ppl. As we became less dependent on our need to smell to survive that sense weakened...also evolution. We then needed a means of telling each other apart...thus the facial adaptation.

Paul, you see "a horrible chasm to leap for credulity" in evolution, yet you accept the existence of God, of which there is zero scientific evidence, with no problem abt the chasm there. Why? Yeah, I know, faith, but why does faith make you reject established science. Evolution does not discount the possibility of God.
Creation and its utter beauty and expanse is the evidence for God. Lets see what is the evidence for Evolution...oh yea a bunch of dirty bones from dead creatures with still no answer as to where everything comes from. GOD is our generic term but His name is also a derivative by man..Jehova or He who gives the breath of life. This is the only logical answer and all others are just those used to escape the possibilityn of a creator.
By the way Shakey what intelligence drove evolution to variate man because it was needed and if so how long did it take. Also if the earth and mankind is millions of years old as evolution says the earth would be stacked to the moon with bones from all the deceased over that period of time. Looks like 6000 years accounts for about the right mount of deceased..from what I hear. Evolution doesn't come easy does it? :-) Paul
Yes Flicka I looked at evolution for a few years in my youth. It is totally unbelievable and fits in well with the philosophers stone those dark hideaways buried in cellars attempting to turn base metals into gold. Evolution will probably be just as successful as they were in their efforts. Those fingerprints are neat if accurate, but Just shows God created all life from His own blueprints and used some similarities between creatures who live in the same environment. Paul

The dirty bones from dead creatures are evidence of creation also.

Yes bones are from creation but they are all evolution has to go on and they sort of just don't look for evidence of how the universe was created tending to dig in the earth for their evidence. Yes evolution has a sort of at first glance logic to it, till you start really thinking about it and compare it to the bible's account and there is bible codes being studied and also some very shocking and new data of the Shroud of Turin for Physicists to get excited about. We'll see how the scientist pan out on all that. Paul

Like ghoti said...it all depends on how we define "day" in Genesis. Especially when the writer is describing what happened prior to the establishment of the 24 hour period we define as a day.

It is all based on bones Flicka, true a few are still in living creature such as tiny birds supposedly dinosaur relatives but the great majority of life is all of their own kind and not life that has slid from another genus across the page of life. Old bones you just gotta dig or else sit around and let your scientific imagination and artist compositions drive the evidence to fit. Tch tch!:-) Paul
Yep you got to make a choice of unknown day patterns or 24 hour days and 6000 year mankind creation. Of course the earth was hanging in space for an onknown length of time because it says there was darkness on the face of the deep (universe?) and the earth was without form and void. No life presumably. Creation is there plain and simple if you don't fall through the sieve of understanding in the book of the word and take the out of order scriptures in chapter one and two and begin forming your own conclusions out of context. Most christians who have stuidied in depth find no problems with the way it is put together and have a solid understanding of what happened as so far as God allows us to know. Paul
