    :bananadance::bananadance::bananadance:

    i figured i'd bring some friends...lol

    and i also pose a question.....do you not think that like the fish story posted before, that if u change somethings environment that it wont adapt to it? say if u stuck a few generations of fish in a cave that they wouldnt develop a better way of feeling the things around them and lose the ability to see b/c they wouldnt need it? same goes for other species. hell, u can lose ur eyesight and learn to pick things up better around u than before. i dont see that as full blown evolution, but adaptation is a start to it.

    Actually what was said in genesis is two of every sort, That means... Two Dogs, Two Alligators, Two Insects, etc. Not necessarily two great danes, two Labs. then after they adapt to the different climates, features and change. But they are still dogs. A dog doesnt go from a dog to a bird.

    Well If the bible makes mention of the Ark and needing two of every sort of animal. That would include dinosaurs. But ya know they are kinda big. Wouldnt the smart person bring babies? Did you think of that? Then when they got bigger then who would want a T-Rex living near your house and that is an awful lot of food. So why didn't man kill the dinos? I mean just think about all of the stories around the world about Dragons, and things like that. It makes sense to me. There are many rumors about large animals that look like dinos across the world. But no one seems to have a camara. Try taking a picture of a car crash as its happening. Doubt you can. Same thing happens so fast, Caught off guard.

    In the book of Job, there is reference to a Behemoth (an animal) whose tail was like a tree, my bible has a number next to it and says that biblical scholars think it was a elephant, but elephants tails arent like tree trunk.

    Almost 8 minutes. Kind of long but very factual. This is done by some of the scientists that have been trying to prove evolution. This is even posted on a science website. Scientists are our friends.

    Oh, and anyone have any info on my second question.
    Topic was: The origin of life.
    WHERE DID THE FIRST CELL COME FROM?

    I'm not knocking evolution at all--I do believe an adaptation and that humans have managed to figure out some small part of the grand scheme of things; the problem is we tend to ignore the fact that we only have small parts of the equation and then speculate on the big picture as if it were an absolute. Even in terms of quantum physics we haven't found a theory that covers ALL the bases, just alot of them. (I did read recently of a possible theory (The Theory of Everything, I think its called) that covers all the mathematical bases, but I'm not brilliant enough to understand it! LOL!) Suffice to say I believe that its all out there for a reason, and everything happens for a reason, we just don't know what the reasons are yet. I find evolution to be more credible to my view of things than creationism, but then, evolution is also creation of a sort, just not the creationism of the christian Bible--I find that to be a bit too narrow a viewpoint I guess, not to mention biased by the socio-political climates in which it was written and edited over the years. Did I actually answer the question you asked?! LOL!

    I think you both said it well and came across far less antagonistic then me. I really like your its all energy statement. I cant articulate myself as good as you but it seems we share some same ideas. :)

    on the ark did they have two of every kind of freshwater species cuz in a giant flood all the water would of been at least brackish making it hard for them to survive.
