I have a new question for you:
So you believe that all humans came from Adam and Eve and so all different races of people on the planet come from them also - (another Christian said to me that infinite combinations of genes makes this plausable).
Now, does this also mean that you agree that the first people were black? - as its a loss of pigmentation in skin that makes it lighter. So, if yes, how do you explain that Neanderthals had pale skin? - as this clearly indicates that the loss of pigmentation happened before we became the humans we are today.

Unless you play assassins creed then Adam and eve were the first assassins

Dude he's Christian he doesn't believe in Neanderthals
-
Apparently he does... He is a Christian who accepts some things evolved but not us... Read the comment he sent me.

Edited by loafabredda: 6/7/2015 4:55:49 PMWhy would a omnipresent all-being entity fail no mention such things as his own creations (Neanderthals for example) unless he himself saw it as insignificant? An omnipresent being who created the universe couldn't possibly have flaws could he?

God didn't write the bible, it's a collection of stories of people who experienced contact with him. What flaw are you talking about?

Man [i]wrote[/i] the Bible, but it was God who told them what to write. The word of God is God breathed and God inspired.

Not all of evolution is false. Firstly, I posted an OP that explained how variations manifesting from the same species are evidential, but only to the extent that those variant forms didn't serve any extra-biological function since the process, no matter how much time it is given, would never be able to develop our modern day biological complexity. Secondly, when I say that not all of evolution is false, I mean to say that not all of evolution is completely absent from scripture. It can obviously be observed in the Bible that humans had a different diet (Genesis 9:3), they also had averagely long lifespans (Genesis 5), the earth operated under an apparently different weather pattern (Genesis 2:5), and creatures of unknown biology actually existed (Job 41); presumably, their descriptions sync with the modern assumptions of dinosaurs. Thirdly, atheists will assume that we as Christians are being bias when we source the Bible as support for these biological evidences when they think we should consider their scientific evidence to be fact and foremost above any acclaimed "holy" text. To a degree, this is true, but only to a certain extent. Evolution basically teaches that somehow something caused everything to come into being from simpler being beginnings to the modern, complicated structures in nature that we see today. What evolution doesn't account for is origins itself. I'm not talking about the origins of "how did it start." I'm talking about the origins of biological or organic life manifesting from non-organic material. Have you ever tried growing algae from a recently extruded lava rock alone? One can easily assume that the task is impossible, and it is, but this is one of the biggest complications that evolutionary scientists find to be a "thorn in their side." When it comes to considering skin pigmentation, I don't care, and it really doesn't matter since it doesn't conflict at all with the Bible.

Interesting read. But are you not saying that God created things with no purpose or function? And seen as though carbon dating can evidently show that such species predate mankind why would the bible not mention any of this specifically? - seen as if it contains, what you consider, the origins of life and the universe?
