The brainless evolution #5 vs DNA

If the complex DNA is coded information by random chance to build a
certain species, then what changed the code to produce a different
species? Random chance again? And a different species? Another random
chance? And another different species? More random chance? Etc, etc,
etc, etc....millions of times.

You don't see high brain power behind such codes? There is more to DNA
than just creating the species. Let's take a bird. (no it's not a
dinosaur) Not only does the DNA have to create the bird, but also its
habits.

For example, it builds nests. But not on the ground where predators
can get to it, but way up in trees. But the DNA also has to define a
tree, so it knows were to build its nest. Then the DNA has to tell it
how to build it and what it will look like.

All of this from mindless random chance? You decide.

None of the above single event processes, that is astrawman view set up to
be refuted. Genetic changes are mutations,ie. copying errors of dna. The
mutations are random but are caused within a loose set of biological
factors that are always present and constantly cause biological differences
between individuals in a population.

These mutations happen at a constant rate and no single mutation results in
seperate species.

If the mutations over time . inhibit reproduction between two populations
or the populations are seperated to inhibit reproduction between them or
hybrids breed; then the sum of the mutations lead to a speciation event
where the populations go their seperat ways genetically over time.

This is not just a hypothetical model, it has been confirmed by observation
in nature:

As a general rule, mutations are a negative factor. Its like going 1
step forward, and 2 steps backward. There had to have been thousands
and thousands of mutations to produce all the life forms today. But
for the most part, the life forms are complete; they have all they
eyes and legs etc.

The fruit fly experiments showed that mutated flies died off before
reaching maturation. The fruit fly was Drosophila melanogaster. And
since 1900 they were bombared with X-rays which produced many
mutations. But they were still always flies. they didn't turn into a
different species.

When the mutant flies were mated with other mutant flies, after
several generations, NORMAL flies started coming out. They were
survivors over the weaker mutant flies, thus reverting back to its
original non-mutant form.

Even way back, "Scientific American" said concerning DNA, that damaged
DNA is changed back "by enzymes that continually repair”. Also, "“In
particular, significant damage to DNA molecules can induce an
emergency response in which increased quantities of the repair enzymes
are synthesized. (Scientific American, “Inducible Repair of DNA,” by
Paul Howard-Flanders, November 1981, p. 72.)

Friend james mentions the obvious, if a copy change in dna inhibits
reproduction then it will not persist in a population; so speciation is not
possible . But alas that well known point does not represent the many dna
mutations in dna copies his very body contains at this very second. Only a
minority of standard constantly dna copy mistakes result in
inhibiting reproduction.

Likewise some dna copy mistakes provide no reproductive advantage in a
population. In which chase those with that dna difference will not persist
over time relative to those without the copy mistake.

Friend james needs to learn the entire story not just the jw vatican
spoonfed edited limited science on the topic. That is the source of the
copy paste bits below.  

But alas, he is prohibited by the jw vatican to do the simple search on the
web for sources that soundly refute the examples below, they are only a
smaall part of the story for the vast number of normal ongoing dna copy
changes; but the jw vatican pick and choose practices hides the real
science on the topic.

A practice of only allowing part of the entire science just comes down to
flat out lying and deception.

Btw, friend james has at least a trillion mutations as he writes and some
130 dna copying errors. He is a typical example of what he claims doesn't
exist,ie. genetic and biological changes over time.

I would be happy to post links with the entire story, but friend james is
prohibited reading them, only the jw vatican edited story and therefore
deceptions are allowed.

Interpretation, *only* the jw vatican has the truth. How does friend james
know? Because the jw vatican tells him so.

Friend james will you agree here and now to read info on the entire matter
of dna changes over time and how it resultss in producing different
biological features in different populations of the same species?

If you really knew what the Bible hell was, you would have to reword

It produces changes within the same life form, but doesn't turn into a
different lifeform. Scientists see apes and humans and conclude they
are related, esp since the DNA of both are close to the same. But
can't the Creator create similar looking life forms? Car manufacturers
may create different models, but that doesn't mean that one came from
the other.

Yes, a SYMBOLIC lake of fire. For proof, know that DEATH is tossed
into that alleged literal fire. That should show you right there that
it is not literal:

-- Revised Standard
Revelation 20:14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of
fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire;

You apparently don't know your Bible. God at times IS NOT all knowing.
At times, He does not want to know things, such as the atrocities

You have a tendency for extremism. If I say 1 person, you say 1000.
(see right below) Satan had accused people of serving God only because
God gave them things and protected them. God is letting things go at
random now, so Satan can see that people in bad situations still
worship God. Thus proving Satan the liar that he is. When this issue
is fully tested, God will correct all errors and make all things right
again.


>You appear to be saying God has never cared about us.

That is your extremism working again. A quick look in Genesis and
other OT books shows how God cared for His servants in the past. But
wicked ones He punished.

He will replace all of man's weak governments with His powerful
kingdom government. He will remove ALL imperfections from our flesh
and mind. He will satisfy the desires of every living thing. And He
will eliminate death. All humans that survive His judgments can live
forever under perfect conditions.

Only if you don't believe in Him. For those with true belief, they can
lay their problems on Him. And He is a central part of their lives. To
them, He is a God holding back all the best things, for just the right
time, so that eternity will be peaceful and harmonious.

Well, perhaps not to you. For those that have seen or experienced
'ghosts', they have taken a small bite out of that supernatural world.
I believe also that UFO's has its source in that supernatural world.
But so-called ghosts aren't really dead humans, and UFO's are really
not aliens from other planets etc, but they all are demons, trying to
trick us into disobeying God.

Why do you read about UFO occupants experimenting on people's sex
organs etc. That is what they did back in Genesis. That is their
desires.

As for ghosts, why do they pretend to be dead humans? Because the
Bible says the dead are not conscious of anything: Jesus referred to
them as being asleep. (read the account about Lazarus)

(Psalm 146:3, 4) Do not put your trust in princes Nor in a son of man,
who cannot bring salvation.  4 His spirit goes out, he returns to the
ground; On that very day his thoughts perish.



>Believers can't agree on what God is like.

If they read their Bible, they would see. If you mean 'physically', He
is a spirit being. (John 4:23,24) And in the Bible there is a ton of
information about His personality such as His love, justice, wisdom,
and power, etc.

Yes, I know, you have said that many times. And I have said many times
that God's design in the very beginning was perfect. No need to amend
a perfect design.

Who said He lives outside of time? The Bible says He lives within
time, but at a different interval. One day to Him is 1000 years to us.
(2 Pet 3:8) Thus to God, humans have been around for about a week.

I don't know exactly. But what I meant was that God won't correct ALL
the problems until His day of judgment arrives.

Exactly. But He will judge the living wicked first. And after 1000
years and the dead have been resurrected, and the removing of
imperfections, there will be a final judgment. Then after that, those
that are left will live forever on a paradise earth.

Of course not. But you are listening to a pack of lies. Read the Bible
yourself to get the TRUE Bible information.

(Deuteronomy 32:4) The Rock, perfect is his activity, For all his ways
are justice. A God of faithfulness who is never unjust; Righteous and
upright is he.

God does not get afraid. But He demands exclusive devotion:

(Exodus 20:5, 6) You must not bow down to them nor be enticed to serve
them, for I, Jehovah your God, am a God who requires exclusive
devotion, bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons, upon
the third generation and upon the fourth generation of those who hate
me, 6 but showing loyal love to the thousandth generation of those who
love me and keep my commandments.
There are thousands of Scriptures that prove that. What Scripture (s)
do you have that shows the Bible lies?

You might want to rethink that because the only alternative to God

God was terrified at the thought of us all getting along in peace

Nobody knows WHY God did what He did. He didn't create the angels this
way because they were not born from a female angel. They were all
directly created by God. But he made humans to be born through
genetics.

punished? Where if they attacked you, they would always get away with
it? God apparently built within Adam (and Eve) a punishment for
disobedience. And, through genetics, that was passed on to everyone
else.
If it was that easy, you wouldn't even be asking the question.

God built into Adam the need to disobey so He would have

Listen:

God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried, nor does he himself
try anyone.

No. When Adam was created he was perfect, and had no such desires. He
likely ate the forbidden fruit to join his wife. But that is just my
speculation.
Since when did humans ever get along without wars? Never. The only way
for peace and harmony is by God's Kingdom:

(Psalm 46:9) He is bringing an end to wars throughout the earth. He
breaks the bow [guns] and shatters the spear [bombs]; He burns the
military wagons with fire. [tanks] [brackets mine]
Alright here is a 'cop in' proof:

Look in a mirror. What do you see staring back at you? A quite
sophisticated anatomically flesh and blood and bone robot-type being.

You came from a supernatural being. Without God, you never would have
existed. Thus you are supernatural. They try to build robots mimicking
us, but have a long way to go yet.

I don't know. Let's take a look:

revise= 1. re-examine and make alterations to (written or printed
matter).

amend= make minor changes in (a text) in order to make it fairer, more
accurate, or more up-to-date.

So the main difference is that to "amend" is to make a minor change.
To "revise" is to make larger changes.

Thus to might revise a whole chapter in a book, but amend only the
last sentence.

That is so wrong! If Adam would have obeyed God, we would be living a
different life today. The Bible says the woman was fooled by Satan.
But Adam was not. He WILLFULLY disobeyed God while knowing the whole
situation. Thus next to Satan, he was the main fault.
That is just one window viewing that situation, there might have been
wars going on somewhere at that time.

Good question. The early parts of the Bible is full of wars, aren't
they. Why would God have the Israelites war with other nations? Well,
one thing those foreign nations did was to sacrifice their children in
a fire to their false god. God did a lot of judging then, and that was
why the wars.

Today God's judgments are mainly yet future. He is not now destroying
the wicked, but will do so in the immediate future. But one of the
Psalms says He will end all wars forever. (see below) That will be
accomplished through God's Kingdom. (government-- Mt 24:14)

>Will God amend His design so that war will no longer happen?

If you have an apple with a worm hole in it, you just cut it out, then
eat the apple.

God will 'cut out' all the warmongers. Then there will be no one left
who wants to war. And peace will reign as a
king.

But we have the brains to tell us that it is wrong. Other animals

Yes, compared to the lower creations, we seem that way.

Remember the space shuttle? That was the most complicated piece of

Now take all those millions of parts, and toss them off a high
mountain. What are the odds that they would all fall together and
build the space shuttle?

Yet we are even more complicated. Yet the 'brains' of today say that
random chance put us together? Yes, we are supernatural. We did not
come together by natural events. We were created by a supernatural
being.

God is not human so He doesn't act in a rational manner.

That is so unbelievers can do what they want, and deny Bible truths.
The Bible is a test. It is a test for those with the proper heart
condition and those who don't have it.
His description wasn't a "Satan" then. He had a personal name. The
Bible don't give it. He was a righteous angel when God directly
created him. But he was envious of God, and wanted to be worshipped
like God was.

The one we now call "Jesus" was the first creation, The spirit
creature now known as "Satan", might have been the second. He
apparently was quite beautiful in appearance and powerful at his
start.
He will correct all the errors. (none of which are His)
The first two are recorded in the Bible. The last one is quite obvious
when looking at the world's morals today.

We got rationalization from God. He gave it to us. So He is the
supreme rationalizer. Who can figure out the mind of God? What may
seem to you to be irrational, in reality is the most rational thing.
Because God can see the end from the beginning. (if He so chooses)
I know, you keep saying that, so I am not getting through that cement
wall. Normally, a created thing relies fully on its creator. But when
God gave us free will, WE became responsible for our own actions. But
were not meant to rule ourselves.
And like I said, God has none.

It can't be God:

(James 1:13) When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by
God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried, nor does he himself
try anyone.

Well, it gets tricky with that wording. For example, the Bible says

Thus He can only Do things within His righteous personality.

I guess I am not making myself clear. There is only ONE true way the
Bible can be interpreted. But anyone can interpret it the way they
want, even for evil purposes.
Correct. It doesn't. Words such as satan, devil, lucifer, beelzabub
are descriptive words, not personal names.

After Jehovah destroys Satan and his demons, he will have no nemesis'.

See above
Are you sure that was the original purpose of God? Note:

(Genesis 2:8) Further, Jehovah God planted a garden in E´den, toward
the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

(Genesis 2:16) Jehovah God also gave this command to the man: “From
every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction.

(Genesis 1:28) Further, God blessed them, and God said to them: “Be
fruitful and become many, fill the earth and subdue it, and have in
subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens
and every living creature that is moving on the earth.”

(Genesis 2:18) Then Jehovah God said: “It is not good for the man to
continue to be alone. I am going to make a helper for him, as a
complement of him.”

So to summarize, God planted a beautiful garden and placed the man and
woman in it. They had pleanty of food to eat. Their job was to have
babies and spread the garden to all the earth and be in charge of the
animals that he made for us.

>

I don't lie.
On the contrary, Satan is exercising his free will. And many people
get their morals from Satan, instead of from God's word, the Bible.

God is supremely rational!!!
Yes, we are fully dependant upon Him:

(Jeremiah 10:23) I well know, O Jehovah, that man’s way does not
belong to him. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct
his step.

Has God abandoned us? No. He had His Bible written for us, to guide us
through this imperfect life. Those who avail themselves to God's
written word fare better than those who don't.

He also has had in the past, as He does today, an organization to
assist in guiding His people. Abandened us? NO WAY!
Actually, God will make everyone go back to His perfect design. Adam
caused us to be imperfect. God will correct his flaw that he
genetically passed on.

>(1 Kings 22:23) “So you see, the LORD has put a lying spirit
>in the mouths of all your prophets."

The KJV rendering makes God look like a liar doesn't it. Let's compare
a couple of other translations that word 1 Ki 22:23 a little
different.

NIV: ""So now the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all
these prophets of yours. The LORD has decreed disaster for you.""
NIV still agrees with the first part about lying.

Now the NWT: ""And now here Jehovah has put a deceptive spirit into
the mouth of all these prophets of yours; but Jehovah himself has
spoken calamity concerning you.""

In this translation we see the word "lying" replaced by "deceptive".
Is that a proper use of the Hebrew word "sheqer" which KJV translated
as "lying"?

Notice part of Strong's definition of "sheqer":

"lie, deception, disappointment, falsehood".

Thus "deception" is a proper word that can be used.

But now to the understanding of the verse. The true prophet Micaiah
told that an assembling of angel (spirits) had occurred before God's
throne. Because King Ahab had introduced Baal worship and other
detestable things, God was going to have him put to death. God asked
for a volunteer angel to permit false prophets to say that Ahab would
be successful in the war against Ramoth-gilead. One "spirit" accepted
the assignment. (1 Ki 22:19-22)

Sure enough in verse 17 those false prophets lied to the king and said
his war campaign would be successful. How did that "deceptive" angel
pull this off? This spirit creature exercised his power upon them so
that they spoke, not truth, but what they themselves wanted to say and
what Ahab wanted to hear from them. Earlier Ahab did not want to hear
from Micaiah because he only told about bad things happening to Ahab.
(vs 18) As God foretold, Ahab listened to those false prophets and was
killed. (vs 37)

Thus God did not lie here, only those false prophets. Thus God did not
instigate the deception, those false prophets said what was already in
their hearts. God does permit wickedness to occur at this time, but
soon will remove all of those who go against His commandments and
cause all of this wickedness. (see Pr 2:21,22)

Decades before darwin proposed his model of how biological species change
over time this engilish bishop wrote about the topic.

In short he wrote; if one were walking on the beach and came upon a pocket
watch,ie. the most complex machine of that era, would he not know it
required a watchmaker to explain something so complex; not as a natural
event?

This is the core of many of friend jame's jw vatican pushed ideas to
consider that bilogical
complexity also requires a "watchmaker" to explain the biological
complexity we observe.

Given the science of his time,ie. shortly before darwin, there was no model
of biological change in answer to his question.


Of course darwin answered his question in a model of science, but he had
already died.

Many of those who ignore the revelation in creation about the vast changes
in species over time still resort to the bishop's lack of an answer. They
in fact ignore God's revelation of vast species change over time. in
creation .

The species we know today did not exist millions of years ago. All those
of that time do not exist today. The good bishop did not know that, one
thinks he would have asked another question. "How did God do it?"

What is interesting about it all, is the bottom line. No one has ever
seen a living thing turn into another different living thing. What you
are hanging on to is a theory about bones. A theory that insidiously
leaves God out of creation.

A theory of random chance that makes no sense. A theory without a
mind, without a brain, without an intelligence. Yet many highly
multiplex systems exist in nature. So complex, that we (intelligence)
can't even figure them out. (like the human brain)

And RANDOM CHANCE figured all things out at the quantum energy level?
You've got to be kidding. If you don't like the truth, by all means
believe what you want.

Yes, in a false way. That theory is responsible for excusing some
crimes. How so? Psychologists excuse some violent behaviors as being
passed down from 'cave man' days. Although it at present doesn't hold
up in a court of law that I know of, I wouldn't be surprised if it
did.

You don't like the truth because it appears to put your God out
of a job. I know the concept of original sin is essential to allow
church leaders to control their flock.
Catholics say evolution is a proven scientific fact and the Adam
and Eve story is just a story. That would seem to eliminate
original sin and our need to be controlled by their leaders,
so they insist that original sin still applies.

You are so traumatised by the way things are that you cling
desperately to the idea that it will all be fixed some time.

I can understand you being disgusted by the way evolution
works. We all are. But it is what it is and we must deal with
it the best way we can. For you that includes using man
made medicine to overcome the effects of your faulty brain.

One of friend james' popular rotely learned plug in ideas about evolution
as biological change over time is to say; "where are all the inbetween
examples?" There are easy to observe examples, but the question is
irrelevant. The basic more fundamental question is how to account for what
the content of God's creation as revlation contains.

No living things living now existed millions of years ago. Likewise those
millions of years ago do not exist now. The fundamental question is how do
we account for that change from then to now? What model best accounts for
that observation?

The model presented in the book of Genesis. Each life form was created
independently from another. And the real fossil record bears that out.
Fossils appear suddenly and fully formed. You wouldn't get that if
everything was built upon the one preceding it.

Smile, *all* fossels are fully formed by definition. It is the millions of
years gap that requires an explanation. The cattle of genesus do not exist
anywhere in the record millions of years ago, in fact nothing even
resembling land mamals or which they are an example among thousands of
other species. In fact *all* currently living things are missing.

It is friend james who has the ""missing links" problem, indeed it is a gap
of totally missing examples that must be accounted for.

A want is just a wish. Action is the doing. God wants all people to be
saved. (2 Pet 3:9) But that won't happen according to the Bible. (Mt
25:41) Thus God doesn't always get what He wants.

He can do both if He wants to. Like it is said, "God can do anything".
(within His righteous standards) But His original designs were
perfect, so He wouldn't be revising there. (free will and all)

Not OUR brain, but Adam's and Eve's. We received genetics from them

They should rename it, "gotlies.org".
No, the Bible was designed to divide those who are spiritual truth
seekers with those who are not:

(Hebrews 4:12) For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is
sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of
soul and spirit, and of joints from the marrow, and is able to discern
thoughts and intentions of the heart.
God deserves it after creating the universe etc. The Devil deserves
nothing but annihilation.

If God is the cause of all wickedness, who makes it so we can have the
joy of children? Who gave us taste buds to enjoy our food? Who causes
sunsets to be remarkable occasionally. Who caused us to see in 3-D
color, and listen in stereo? We just received two little orange
kittens. They have a ball chasing each other around etc, and are a joy
to watch.

If God hates us so much as to create wickedness for us, who gets
credit for all the joyful things in life? Let me ask that again, who
gets credit for all the joyful things in life?

No way. You should see half formed life forms in the strata here and
there. All you see if fully formed ones. (as we recognize a fully
formed one. (Ex full dogs, full cats, etc, not dogs with 3 legs or
cats with no fur etc.)

Not at all. Genesis traces back to around thousands of years, not
millions. Thus all animals named there were around.

Explain then how random chance created male and female with all the

even insects. Looks like random chance must be intelligent after all.

Friend james goes off in all directions when he is unable to plugin a
rotely learned jw vatican answer to many questions/observations. Thus it
is for the question of the subject alone we are interested, not another
question possibly related to those plug in responses.

Let's give him another chance. Observing God's creation, a 2nd revelation
along with scripture, provides info about the history of living things
going back millions of years.

Long ago observation finds living things in abundance of many kinds. When
we compare them with existing living things an interesting observation
occurs.

*None* of those ancient life forms now exist. *None* of those of today
are found in that ancient time.

There is based on those observations alone a *huge* gap in the nature and
kinds and change of living things in the history of God's creation.

What model would best explain the *vast* biological change in living things
over time between the two observation points? That is for friend james to
provide an answer alone about God's history of the creation.

Btw, "I don't know and the jw vatican lacks an answer also" is avalid
answer.

God COULD amend and revise any of his designs, even though they are
perfect. If He wanted to give humans 3 arms and 3 legs, they would
still be perfect, just with more appendages. I don't see why you can't
understand it.
Your question should be not to God, but to Adam. Why did Adam do such
a terrible thing? He was worst than Hitler, 1,000,000 times over.
Every person who has ever died, or will die, do so because of Adam.

Of course not. Each person is responsible for their own actions. And
only God can look ahead.
On the contrary, God wants us to be happy and in peace. And He will
make that happen: Rev 21:3,4:

3. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the
tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they
shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their
God.
4. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there
shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall
there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
We all worship in different ways. Your "awe" could be your form of
worship.

The firmament is a KJV translation:

Genesis 1:7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which
were under the firmament from the waters which were above the
firmament: and it was so.

Now notice this translation:

-- Living Bible
Genesis 1:7 So God made the sky, dividing the vapor above from the
water below. This all happened on the second day.

Thus the firmament is our atmosphere.
All humans make mistakes.

You said God did not know what would happen when He trashed
everything, but an ordinary human would have known.
Nope.

Genesis 11:1-9
New International Version
The Tower of Babel

11
1 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.
2 As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar
and settled there.

3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them
thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar.
4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower
that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves;
otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”

5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were
building.
6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they
have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible
for them.
7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not
understand each other.”

8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they
stopped building the city.
9 That is why it was called Babel—because there the Lord confused
the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered
them over the face of the whole earth.
Different meaning.

Adam deliberately disobeyed God. Eve was tricked by Satan.

We don't know a lot of reasons why God created like He did. Why two

A lot of the suffering is by man himself. A teen takes LSD and jumps

Explain.
The mandate at that time from God was to spread humans all over the
earth. Not just live in one spot. (Gen 1:28)
Yes, according to the way you are. For example, some people pray on
their knees, some pray standing, some stretched out flat on the
ground. (Muslims)

Flat earth? Are you sure?

(Isaiah 40:22a) "There is One who dwells above the circle of the
earth,"

The Hebrew word used here for "circle" is "hhug" which according to
some Hebrew scholars also has the meaning of "sphere". (for example
see: "A Concordance of the Hebrew and Chaldee Scriptures by B.
Davidson")

Some other Bible translations therefore say, "the globe of the earth"
(Douay Version, DRA,), and "round ball of earth" (MSG), "the round
earth." (Moffatt).

With a spherical earth, that dome theory makes no sense!
God made us with no errors. (Deut 32:4)

God will remove all of Adam's genetic errors passed on to us.

How do you know for sure? You never had a chance to live on a paradise
earth. All those who have died in the past, will be resurrected to a
"new earth" (one without wickedness). Notice:

(Acts 24:15) And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also
look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the
righteous and the unrighteous.

They will be given a chance to prove themselves to be obedient to
God's word. Those that aren't will be removed.

Thus most people who have died will have TWO lives on the earth. But
that's it. No more chances.
God's laws are pure. It is mankind who abuses them.
We have past history to show us why disobeying God's laws brings only
misery. There is no reason to "fall" knowing what the outcome would
be. We know what it is like to go our own way, and not God's. In the
past it was tried, only to their detriment. And the same today.

I guess you could call it 'conditional programming'. What was
programmed into Adam, would only become active if he disobeyed the one
simple command of God. That command showed that God was in charge, and
to look to Him for guidance in all things. Notice:

(Jeremiah 10:23) I well know, O Jehovah, that man’s way does not
belong to him. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct
his step.

>
Actually, it doesn't. Evolution producing different life forms is
primarily based on mutations. A mutation is a body part not acting
like it was programmed. For example, a frog with two heads would be a
mutation. And usually it would die much quicker than a normal frog.

In the fruit fly experiments, they exposed them to radiation, thus
producing mutations. The mutations were detrimental to the subjects.
It's like taking one step forward and two steps backwards. Eventually,
the mutated flies even started producing normal flies.

Thus, to me, the evolutionary theory is full of holes. We should
either not be here at all, or be here in a perfect state if evolution
was the way. We are neither.
So then, the FMC is not responsible for all crashed cars, even though
they created them? Then why is God to all humans?

Also, that's not a correct comparison. The laws of physics are
perfect. They are what keeps a car running, your house from caving
in, your refrigerator keeping your food from spoiling, your ability to
can foods, letting a spaceship travel to the moon, etc, etc.

People's brains on drugs and excessive alcohol is what can cause car
crashes. It has nothing to do with the original design. A teen going
100 mph in a residential zone can also cause all kinds of detriments.

your pagan. You are the one that dont know anything, because you will
not and do not listen to the Church Fathers. And God said, He knows
everthing in His Holy Bible, but you, only read, lucifers bible. So
what good is that, a bunch of lies that are not His book.? And answer
the question, not avoid it. Because its loud and clear, God said, He
would send you to hell, for changing it, even a slight amount. And u
ass hole protestants, still think its ok to tell someone, the catholic
Bible is not the Bible??? Talk about brainless.... ??? Thats you.

Consciousness is a function of our brain.
When brain activity ceases the person ceases to exist.
The afterlife is a lie to control people.
Why did God create mankind that way?
We are doing much better going our own way.
We are living longer and generally better lives.

So God does cause us great suffering so He can show His power.

Notice:

Job 1
New International Version
Prologue

1 In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job.
This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil.
2 He had seven sons and three daughters,
3 and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five
hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys, and had a large
number of servants. He was the greatest man among all the people
of the East.

4 His sons used to hold feasts in their homes on their birthdays, and
they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
5 When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make
arrangements for them to be purified. Early in the morning he would
sacrifice a burnt offering for each of them, thinking, “Perhaps my
children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s
regular custom.

6 One day the angels came to present themselves before the Lord,
and Satan also came with them.
7 The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”

Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth,
going back and forth on it.”

8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job?
There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man
who fears God and shuns evil.”

9 “Does Job fear God for nothing?” Satan replied.
10 “Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and
everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that
his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land.
11 But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has,
and he will surely curse you to your face.”

12 The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has is in
your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.”

Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.

13 One day when Job’s sons and daughters were feasting and
drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house,
14 a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing
and the donkeys were grazing nearby,
15 and the Sabeans attacked and made off with them.
They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who
has escaped to tell you!”

16 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and
said, “The fire of God fell from the heavens and burned up the
sheep and the servants, and I am the only one who has escaped
to tell you!”

17 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and
said, “The Chaldeans formed three raiding parties and swept down
on your camels and made off with them. They put the servants to the
sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”

18 While he was still speaking, yet another messenger came and said,
“Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest
brother’s house,
19 when suddenly a mighty wind swept in from the desert and struck
the four corners of the house. It collapsed on them and they are dead,
and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
Why do your leaders not want you to accept evolution?
God created the laws of physics and designed the brains of the people.

You said God designed our brain.

You are mislead. The cockroach has been around since early times.

The hippo 16 million years ago.

Also the alligator. 245 millions of years ago. There are many more,

There has never been one life form turning into a different life form.
God created each one individually. However, there has been
Microevolution. For example, a dog in the winter getting a thicker
coat. But it is still always a dog.

God's history of creation is found in early Genesis. And it conforms
to the modern theory in that the fossil record shows life forms
suddenly appearing in the strata AND fully formed. No 'missing links.
Here are a couple of questions for you. How did we end up with male
and female of most species? Which one came first?

Shrug, no exact time depth was given as provided in the observation and
question on the table.

Living things with more then one cell are observed at least 3 and perhaps
3.5 billion years ago, one cell bacteria like life forms at least 4
billion.

The record in God's creation finds the first multi-cell living things on
land appearing out of the sea some 300 million years ago. One cell
bacteria on land appeaar some 2.8 billion years ago.

Using wordplay friend james formsa question:

>evolution on another?

God's creation is the raw info on the history of life changing over time
in its nature andkind. Thus the obvious question:

Sadly friend james is driven to fall back on an irrelevant and misleading
approach,ie. answer another question instead as a diversion.

Dogs; domesticated from modern wolves appear some 31 thousand years ago.
Wolves are no older then 2 million years ago. Given your example, how do
we account for the gap between the first multi-cel life on land and that 2
million year point when anything like dogs appeared?

That statement is about as true as truth can get. Come on, you can do
better than that, if as you say the Bible is full of lies. Try again.

Give me something that is no question about it, but it is a lie. For
example something like: "The moon is made of green cheese".

Like you say it can't be improved by the original creative act. But
since Adam CHANGED THINGS, God can correct those errors. (revise it
back to the way it's supposed to be.)
Does it say GOD downgraded us? You are blaming God for Adam's sin.

Within the civilized world, even the weak can survive.

You are blaming the brain for such things? Actually it's the
personality within the brain that causes such. But those are just some
negative things. There are also positive things like helping the poor,
loving one's family and others, feeding others in 3rd world countries,
giving one's life to save another, etc, etc.

Yes, God is highly organized and gives many details about lots of
things in Genesis. The imperfections we have today can be blamed on
God, but that doesn't make it true.
Going against God certainly did not bring happiness. But God will
correct our errors in spite of ourselves.
A privilege to talk to a Being that created the billions and trillions
of suns out there, many bigger than ours. Just how much energy would
that take?

You probably could not even get a one on one discussion with President
Biden. Yet you can talk to the awesome One.

NOT THE BRAIN WE HAVE TODAY.
NOT THE BRAIN WE HAVE TODAY.
NOT THE BRAIN WE HAVE TODAY.

It has many of the original parts, but causes errors here and there.
The normal brain probably looks about the same as in the beginning.
But how it functions can be where many errors are.

I have heard that many times. It is from Biblically uninformed people.
The Bible does agree with you on the fact that when a person dies, he
ceases to exist for a while. (you get a point for that one)
And here it is again: NOT THE BRAIN WE HAVE TODAY
You are living in a glass house pounded by large hail. You and I could

Has God showed you His power? We certainly do enough suffering to
fulfill your accusation.
You forgot the rest of the chapter:

"20 At that Job got up and ripped apart his garment and cut the hair
off his head; then he fell to the ground and bowed down 21 and said:

“Naked I came out of my mother’s womb,
And naked I will return.
Jehovah has given, and Jehovah has taken away.
Let the name of Jehovah continue to be praised.”

22 In all of this, Job did not sin or accuse God of doing anything
wrong."

Yes, God permitted Satan to test Job. But he retained his integrity.
Later God rewarded Job: Job 42:10-17,

"10 After Job had prayed for his companions, Jehovah removed Job’s
tribulation and restored his prosperity. Jehovah gave him double what
he had before. 11 All his brothers and sisters and all his former
friends came to him and ate a meal with him in his house. They
sympathized with him and comforted him over all the calamity that
Jehovah had allowed to come upon him. Each of them gave him a piece of
money and a gold ring.

12 So Jehovah blessed the last part of Job’s life more than the
beginning, and Job came to have 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000
pairs of cattle, and 1,000 female donkeys. 13 He also came to have
seven more sons and three more daughters. 14 He named the first
daughter Je·mi´mah, the second Ke·zi´ah, and the third
Ker´en-hap´puch. 15 No women in all the land were as beautiful as
Job’s daughters, and their father gave them an inheritance along with
their brothers.

16 After this Job lived for 140 years, and he saw his children and his
grandchildren—four generations. 17 Finally Job died, after a long and
satisfying life."
I don't accept it because it contradicts the Bible. There can only be
one truth.

Tell me, if your theory of evolution is how things happened, how did
it come up with male and female throughout most life forms? What came
first, the female or the male for most every species?
"And where it stops, no body knows."

No. I included the relevant part.

What is the exact detailed method God used to design and create

Our brain determines our thoughts and actions therefore making

Doesn't know what?? I suggest you read the book "‘Did Man Get Here by
Evolution or Creation?’" published in 1967 by the Watch Tower Bible &
Tract Society. Even though the book is somewhat dated, it still
contains a ton of evidence for creation.

>>Friend james has ahunch:

Friend james tries in one stroke to address the question by asserting a
diffference in time depths for the question. Because there are two
revelations from God, His creation and scripture; we can attempt a test
base on what is observed in God's creation for friend james claim.

He says it is only "thousands of years" of time depth, not the
millions/billions mentioned to observe changes in kinds and forms of
living things.

The basic time depth for the universe can be observed by the disstance of
objects from the earth. The light content of a star for example tells us
the distance from it. That distance is measured in years.

The nearest star outside the solar system takes over 4 years to reach
earth. From the sun, a star also; is over 8 minutes. Looking at the most
distant stars it takes billions of years for their light to reach earth.
13.8 is the most recent approximate date for the universe. With the new
webb telescope far more distant objects can be observed and the time of the
universe is even older.

In scripture light is said to appear on the first "day", interestingly the
light of the sun/moon/stars appear on the forth. So scripture tells us a
"day" is a huge amount of time based on God's revelation of ccreation. and
how long star lighht would take to reach earth
.
In hebrew the word used for "day" can mean 24 hours or some large
undetermined amount of time. Thus creation tells us from the first to
the fourth "day" was in the billions of years from the testiment of the
creation/universe and the creation of light.>

The pointt, there is no 24 hour restriction of the periods of ttime for
creation as revealed by God, including how long living things have
existed..

Other scientific measures of creation tell us when those living things
first appeared. Also observation of the creation tells us of what kind and
form they were in the beginning and how they dramatically changed in form
and kind over million/billion of yearss to the present..

Thus the unanswered question asked of friend james remains very much on the
table as follows:
>>> > >Long ago observation finds living things in abundance of many
>>>kinds. When >we compare them with existing living things an
>>>interesting observation >occurs. > >*None* of those ancient life forms
>>>now exist. *None* of those of today >are found in that ancient time.

So, how do we account for the huge gap in the kinds and forms we observe in
God's creation revelation? How did living things of kinds and forms change
from those no longer existing to those now existing?

Nowhere does the Bible say GOD WANTED ADAM to be able to corrupt
himself. That is not what God wanted. God created the earth, and
animals, planted a garden, put humans in it, ALL FOR NOTHING?

No, God wanted perfect humans living on a paradise earth. That's why
He did so much work on our planet. God didn't get what He wanted in
the beginning, but He will soon. (see Rev 21:3,4)
Let me clarify that. By "original" I meant "first" ones after Adam and

Adam did not choose to pass faulty genes on to us.
You did not choose to have panic attacks.
Why did God give is a brain which causes panic attacks,
depression, homosexuality, murderous rampages, and control
freaks?

Why did God create us as just another mammal with the same
problems as other mammals?

Why did God design us mammals so the female can conceive
before they are old enough to safely give birth?

Refuge from what?
Why did God give is a brain which causes panic attacks,
depression, homosexuality, murderous rampages, and control
freaks?

Why did God create us as just another mammal with the same
problems as other mammals?

Why did God design us mammals so the female can conceive

Why does God do such terrible things?

If so, yes you are just like other mammals.

Talk to the males who reproduce with underage girls. (hopefully they

Good point. Actually Adam intervened and brought the woes on mankind.
But God had to have programmed Adam to receive his punishment if he
disobeyed God.

If the Creator of all matter wanted to do terrible things to us, you

Panic attacks are not instincts. They are a medical condition that for
most people takes medication to subdue them.

Not a world of suffering.
The laws of physics are pure. They are neither good or bad, but just
are.

The brains of the people who drive cars are the result of
contamination by Adam long ago. We are over 6000 years from our

brains.

Do people who have never heard of the bible have all the information
they need to always make good choices?
Genesis
16 To the woman he said,

“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;
with painful labor you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you.”

You are barking up the wrong tree. The earth and the universe are
billions of years old. But the biology is only thousands. The Bible
gives Adam's creation at about 6 or 7 thousand years ago. I believe it
to be 4026 B.C. The animals thousands before that.

After you quit laughing, note that all large civilizations have been
around for only about 6000 years: Egypt, Babylon, Greece, Rome, etc.

Light was not created on the 4th day. It was created at Genesis 1:1:

(Genesis 1:1) In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

See above.

I never said there was. If you tell me the earth is billions of years
old, that's fine with me. I agree. The movement of the continents
didn't happen in 24 hours. And distances are measured in lightyears
out in the universe. You must be getting JW's mixed up with other
religions.

Not by having one life form morph into a different life form over
millions of years.

See the results of the fruit fly experiments. They were exposed to
radiation and thus mutated. None of them ever turned into something
else. They always remained flies. And mutations are more harmful than
beneficial. Even the mutated ones eventually produced non mutated
flies. Thus the essense of the forces try to keep the original life
form intact.

Smile, God's revelation in His creation refutes the jw vatican plug in.
Hmmm, the jw vatican does not follow the24 hour "day". " ; thousands of
years are involved instead in the above info.

Obviously it is not including the revelation of His creation based on
observing it directly. Life of with a form of bacteria is observed at 2
plus billion years. Thus the question, what is the explanation for the
first multi cell living things on land at 400 million years? How o we
account for the vast biological change of kind/form in that multi-million
year gap?

>After you quit laughing, note that all large civilizations have been
>around for only about 6000 years: Egypt, Babylon, Greece, Rome, etc.

Above friend james evokes the observed record in god's revelation for
humans. Complex cultures you mention, and others, are not the observed
beginning for humans in God's revelation. Humans first appear in very much
less complex band cultures such as hunter and gatherers in africa.

If we speak of biologically modern humans,ie. homo sapiens and not
including any pre-modern homo species example, then the time depth is some
200 thousand years.

If we include the proceeding homo erectus who first had tools and fire like
homo sapiens; then the time depth is at least some 1, if not 2 million
years. Additionally, both homo species first are observed in God's
revelation in africa.

So even if friend james wants to limit the observed revelation to
modern,ie. homo sapians; then 200 million years is far older then those
time depths friend james provides ala the jw vatican.

The flood of Noah's day invoked havoc on the earth. Mountains were
pushed up and land masses churned up, etc. That one reason why the
dating is so far off.

Also, the fossil record usually shows full and complete life forms. No
transitional life forms, since the life form always remained as it
was. Dogs remained dogs, and cats remained cats.

Those African people were not making monkey calls, but had a full
language.

Also, answer me this: why are languages more complex the farther back
we go?

Even many years ago, anthropologist Ashley Montagu said that so-called
primitive languages:

“are often a great deal more complex and more efficient than the
languages of the so-called higher civilizations.”" (Man: His First
Million Years, by Ashley Montagu)

*above information taken from the book: "Life-- How did it get here?
By evolution or by creation?"

The Bible shows Adam's creation to be 4026 B.C.

There was no such thing as stupid cave men. Adam started off with a
full language (probably ancient Hebrew), and even recited poetry:

Gen 2:23:
23 Then the man said:

“This is at last bone of my bones
And flesh of my flesh.
This one will be called Woman,
Because from man she was taken.”

I didn't say the great suffering was part of the giver of everything.
They are two separate and distinct things.
Lying should be avoided at all costs.
Where do you get these lies?

How a person uses that brain, can determine how good things go. If one
immerses it in alcohol and illegal drugs, they will have to pay the
consequences.

Dna is the newest tool to observe and test observations of biological
change over time. It can track the changes in time and where they
originated and show amount of relatedness among living things.

For example, the various cat species that now exist are shown by dna to
have a common ancestor. That ancestor no longer exists among living things
and started some 6 million years ago . Many other cat species no longer
exist either, the saber tooth tiger is a well nown example. Most cat
species are only known by the fossil history and by dna analysis. The time
period of afew thousand years can ot contain what the dna record of God's
creation reveals even for cats.

How did we get from one ancestor to several seperate cat speciess today and
many many between those points now extinct?

Using the observable evidence in God's revelation of creation, what is the
possible range of explanitory models to account for the dna record over
time?

God designed humans for certain duties. The woman is to give birth and

earn a living for the household.

Oh really? Do all humans on this planet have plenty to eat? Do all
humans live in a paradise? Do all of those who want mates, have them?
Are all humans 100% healthy? Do all humans have enjoyable work?

Those were the things Adam and Eve were 'born' into.

It doesn't work the same for everyone. For many, if you take it a long

The DNA record of cats shows that they were ALWAYS cats. And yes, they
all came from one original cat, one that God created. God created
within that cat, the variations of other cats. The Bible doesn't say
exactly how that worked, but it obviously did.

The same goes for dogs and birds and even insects. As they evolved,
they always stayed within their original species. And this evolving is
called microevolution. In microevolution the life form always stays
the same species.

Adam had the responsibility of growing food for the family. For
punishment, God made that a very difficult task with growing weeds and
having droughts and insects, etc.

I don't know.

It eventually also harmed God's innocent Son. Some day we may
understand His sense of justice here.

We do know God's initial arrangement was having perfect healthy humans
occupying a paradise planet forever. That was not a negative
arrangement. And temporarily abandoned, it will still be realized.

Well, he did live in Heaven with God for billions of years before

Negatrons, just like a manufacturer, God is responsible for the manual

Friend james concedes the failure of the jw vatican rotely learned plugin:

>Microevolution.

Absolutely, small change in dna by small change for millions of years does
explain the question.

Nothing living today lived 400 million years ago when the first simple
multicell life appeared. Nothing living today had even a close example
living then.

Also, even in the time between then and now new living things first
appeared. For example, the first mamal that became todays various cat
species appearsome 6 million years ago. Nothing like it is seen today. 6
million years of a proposed explanation of micro evolution explains how it
happened.

The record in the collective dna of the currrent cat species also shows the
history of the large biological change for the past millionss of years
since that first cat like kind.. The millons upon millions of
microevolution changes are in the dna record of cat species.

And God doesn't want us to sear it.
He gave it to us for a reason.

Yes, and it is for that reason why He gave His Son as a ransom

God designed Adam's and Eve's brain. Because of disobedience, the
brains we have today are not the exact same as was in the beginning.

Adam caused our brains of today. (and our bodies of today) But he

That is a true statement with the understanding that the "all things"
are within His superior morality.

No one living today knows exactly what a perfect human being is like.
Jesus used to read minds, perhaps that would be a thing we would have.
Jesus performed miracles, but God was behind that. Jesus never made an
error. That is something we would have. Etc, etc.

To be critical means to assign wrongdoing to someone. I don't do that.
I simply state what the Bible teaches us.

God's MORAL qualities do not change. For example, in the OT God didn't
approve of homosexuality. And neither does He in the NT. His morality
always stays the same.
