Well if we were in fact "created" due to another life forms actions upon this planet then we would have technically been created but not by what we consider a "God".NetDoc said:Well, I not only accept the possibility, but profess the probability. Why would this be a deal breaker?
Not at all I`m just slipping the only other possibilty I can think of in there.NetDoc said:Are you contending that the appearance of such will prove that they made us?
almifkhar said:it still comes down to what sparked the evolution process. creataion has the same problem, where did god come from.
Not only can they, but in order to discuss them honestly they have to. Evolution is not opposed to religion and neither is science.NetDoc said:Other than God vs Science?
Who said that?john313 said:If we did "evolve" from apes like some say,
Matter, energy, space, time, the universe in one form or another.People do have a hard time believing that God always existed, but if God did not always exist, then what did?
Yes, see above.Since there is something here, something had to always exist.
Who said this?If a giant rock exploded and it formed the universe in perfect harmony, then where did the rock come from?
Where might I find this translation online?Concerning "aliens", Genesis says that the Elohim (angels/gods) made us in their image. It is translated in the king James version "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness...(Genesis 1:26) Either this is a mistranslation from the Hebrew "Elohim", or the God of the English version of the Bible has a personality disorder. There are many such mistranslations in the bible.
No, because Creationism is not a true scientific theory. Creationism is a religious theory, and cannot be argued without the use of some spiritual text or diety.Evolution vs Creationism ALWAYS seems to be reduced to Science vs God.
Can we redefine the debate differently?
Kind of like how elephants cover their backs with mud and dust to protect themselves from the sun? Or how snails find shells to "wear like clothing" in order to protect themselves? For an animal to use the materials in their enviornment to their advantage is no new and extraordinary technology. It would be stranger if animals kept themselves completely separate from their surroundings by not using them.john said:it seems odd that we have evolved into needing clothes and sunscreen to protect ourselves from the sun.
The same place god came from, I'm sure.then where did the rock come from?
