More preachy nonsense. 50,000 chromosomes in the human body huh? More like 46.

a good example of intelligent design is humans making breaeds of dogs since ancient times. these breeds never exsited in nature by evolution but by humans (intelligent beings) doing intelligent design on dogs and wolves.
I read a post recently about the probabilities of a hemoglobin coming together on itself correctly, and they defy logic, statisticians say it is an impossibility.

This forum always argues Evolution vs Creationism. But nary have I found a word about Evolution vs Creation.
Is there a difference? Yes there is.
And it is done over and over and over.

I read a post recently about the probabilities of a hemoglobin coming together on itself correctly, and they defy logic, statisticians say it is an impossibility. The same can be true of a single chromosome folding upon itself correctly. (One out of the some fifty thousand found in the human body for example. ONE.)

Then you come across very well written threads, that talk about, for example, the DNA and how wondrous it is. The amount of information it contains, how it is a digital alphabet that forms a coded book with the blueprint of life. All signs of intelligence. Not only is it a digital book that is condensed to a size that is incredible, the mechanisms in the cell that work it are beyond imagining complex, so complex that built to scale no human could replicate its scale or complexity.

In fact the digital book contained in the DNA is not only jam backed full of digital code that spells out everything needed for life, this book amazingly can replicate itself. What would you think if you went to the library and found the most complex book ever created could just duplicate itself over and over, without any outside help?

Everything needed for it is all found in the cell, including the DNA of course, the RNA which transcribes the DNA, and chromosomes and ensyms needed to replicate it.

There is a thread out there that goes into much more complex detail about this.

Then we have the fact that no kind of animal has ever been proven to break the barriers the DNA places upon it. True, we do see adaption to environmental factors that have been programmed into the DNA itself, for a certain kind of life-form, but never does that kind ever break the barrier that has been set for it.

For example, finches have been observed to adapt to different changes, perhaps getting bigger beaks, etc. But a finch has never been observed to become anything other than a finch. And yet evolutionists will point to the finch as proof of evolution in action. Instead of what it is, a variation in the kind, based upon preset conditions already coded within the DNA by a supremely complex mind.

No evolutionists will ever ever give you a single example of a kind breaking its barrier to create or evolve into a new kind of living thing. In fact the fossil record shows that there have been very little changes in different kinds of living things over vast amounts of times. And when different life-forms appeared, it was always suddenly, with NO "missing links" between kinds or species ever being found.

You can all argue that blue till Sunday, these are all facts.

But does this make Creationism true?
OF COURSE NOT!
And this is where so many get it wrong. Creationism is a belief that the six creative days in Genesis one had to be literal. That is God created the earth and the universe, and everything in them about six thousand years ago, in six literal 24-hour days.
originally posted by: iSomeoneCreationism is NOT taught in the Bible, and it is just as illogical as evolution is.
originally posted by: iSomeoneBut this is what happens. Evolutionists will ignore the illogical beliefs and arguments they pander too, and harp on the obvious ridiculousness of creationism. While creationists will ignore the ridiculous nature of their beliefs and harp on the obvious errors in the evolutionary theory.
They are both wrong, yet they are both blind to the truth.
There is a big difference in believing in creation and believing in creationism.
I hope that this helps you understand that better.
NOW...that is all I wanted to say on this matter, but it is inevitable that there will be those from both camps that will come and begin to ask questions about Genesis one. So because of this, facts will be given below to explain it from a scientifically sound viewpoint. You do not need to read further if you have any points regarding the Genesis account of creation.

The Bible teaches Baptism, which is involution and evolution. It's immersion into water so that the creation can rise to new life.
The Bible also gives away the secret to the process. Here is the thread I did on the subject: Hidden in the Letters of Creation
Just like DNA is the shadow of our digital creation, language shadows the same process. Hebrew has 22 letters and Greek has 24. 46 chromosomes render a human who is concrete on one side and abstract on the other. Hebrew is a concrete language and Greek is abstract/mathematical. If you read the link above, you will see why the same letters that write the Word are the same letters that write proteins. The same reason our Bible is in Hebrew and Greek is the same shadow effect that allows us to read DNA like a book. It's all based on the same process reflected in an image.
Taken together the fossils do not appear to provide indisputable evidence for the theory that birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs. Indeed, birds appear in the fossil record lower than their supposed ancestors, not higher as we might expect. Also, some of the evidence (Protoavis and Triassic bird footprints) appears to refute the current evolutionary story of bird ancestry. Furthermore, the evidence for "protofeathers" has been questioned. However, evolutionists try to explain away the discordant evidence to protect the theory. Therefore, I conclude that the existence of superbly engineered birds remains a significant challenge to neo-darwinian evolution.

I didn't come here to argue. Just state the difference between believing in a Creator and in creationism. There is a big difference, no evolutionist seems willing to acknowledge.
And life has not been on earth billions of years as you claim. Also, the millions of years life has been on earth, has not given it sufficient time to create the complexities we see in life. There in is your enigma.
