Well, Neg, you knew I had to get involved, didn't you? Lol...but I believe a funny combination between creationism and evolution. I do believe God created the world, and that he created man. But I don't remember seeing anywhere in my Bible that Adam looked like I do, walked like I do, or talked like I do. It is very hard to say evolution doesn't exist, and I don't say it doesn't. Obviously, as with the point about the blind spot in human eyes, and also...what exactly is an appendix? It doesn't do anything, except get infected, and have to be removed. But at some point, we probably needed it. The theory that I heard once upon a time (and I don't remember where) is that it is similar to an organ that birds have, making them able to ingest gravel. I think the theory was that man at one point ingested so much rock/dirt along with his food, that this organ was neccesary for the digestion process, and is no longer, and that in another several thousand years, man will no longer have them.
I think it is fascinating to think about this kind of thing, and another question that I have is--where do dinosaurs fit in? There is no mention of them in the Bible, and from scientific evidence, it's clear that man and dinosaur did not co-habit the earth together...so where does that fit in? I have my own opinions, but they are along the lines of a religious discussion so to speak...so I'll leave that for another thread, but if you want you can PM me and I'll tell you what I think!
Like I said, it's all an interesting discussion, but as I've said before, I believe because I believe, and it's not going to change my mind about what I believe. I just would like to understand more....lol. Wouldn't we all?
