Well most of those responses are to insults. I just believe that God created us, there's really not too much more to it than that
OK
Does that mean evolution is impossible?

Pretty much
No I thought it would be fun to hear different beliefs and share our thoughts in a nice manner
So why did the creator god make the same mistake by giving chimps and humans the same dysfunctional gene for Vitamin C synthesis, and was the god just having an off day, given that other animals have a functional gene?I've always believed God created humans and that we didn't evolve from primates.
For me yesOK
Does that mean evolution is impossible?
I guess could be possible if God did it but god didn't do it that wayOK
Does that mean evolution is impossible?
I thought people would've talked about different ideas here. I guess this was a fail
So don't u
In that case, you need to work on your delivery...
Pretty much
I'm sure u have the answersSo why did the creator god make the same mistake by giving chimps and humans the same dysfunctional gene for Vitamin C synthesis, and was the god just having an off day, given that other animals have a functional gene?
Or did chimps and humans inherit the dysfunctional gene from a common ancestor, along with over 97% of their DNA?
Perhaps you can explain why the creator god created seven distinct bio-geographical zones, and why kangaroos and sloths are not native to the middle east as hypothesized from the story about most of Noah's family being drowned in a 15 cubit-high flood.Yes I've studied both
That's weird they can preach about that but preaching about Jesus woah look out ha ha. Perhaps that's the source of some tension between people. A lot of people like to point to religion as the source of bad things which I'm sure is true in some cases But what I've experienced here is negativity towards my belief so maybe that's what some religious people do is retaliate back and it makes them look like the bad guy. I don't know if that's true or not. Just spit bawlinWell, those who honor biological evolution generally can't resist the desire to proselytize that perspective at every opportunity. I'm sure many will balk at my choice of words there, but that often is what it amounts to.
Though I'm a life scientist myself, I really have no problem with different people and cultures telling different narratives about human origins. Science literacy is important and all, but if you aren't specifically working in a profession where that will be a problem (or trying to undermine sciences), it just doesn't much matter. It just doesn't come up enough to be relevant. I'd rather folks have a better understanding of, say, why it is important to get the right amount of sleep every day. That has huge impacts on our day-to-day lives and the lives of everyone around us.

I just believe what I believe it's really not a big deal I don't think. Perhaps you are seeing people being persecuted by religious people and maybe think I'm that way but I'm really not. so enjoy the rest of the dayWell that is by definition willful ignorance.
May I ask what caused this disposition of yours?
But can you?Im sure you can
I guess he just made it that wayBut there still seems to a process to it all. If God created humans, then the process of conception, birth, growth, maturity, and eventually old age and death is somehow part of the design. Why not evolution as well?
If God could just create humans out of nothing, why bother going through the process of birth and growing up and aging? Why doesn't God just make us appear at age 18, where we could then remain at that age for about 80-90 years, and then just "poof" out of existence? Neat and painless.

It's a simple topic for me and obviously people have insulted me for it but that's OKI also like getting to hear about different cultures and narratives, but this is not what is happening here.
There isn't even a narrative in the OP or in any of his following posts. Even if I majorly disagree with a poster I can appreciate the effort they used to create a post in a manner that others can, at least, find some value on it. Either by being funny, informative or intellectually engaging. However, this topic was created with the lowest effort possible. There is nothing of value here. Except for the opportunity to point this out...
