Adrian, I pretty much flunk science and I have a horrible vocab, so I'm pretty much depending on my friends to interpret for me. But one point before I get back to researching is that even if . But the point I have, is, even if it WAS (which it is not) evolving, your odds of this actually happening in nature is a billion to one. And you believe this happened many, many times through history. It's IMPOSSIBLE. Even if you could prove it in a laboratory, with the right conditions and treatments. Also, you are proving, as far as I know, exactly what you are trying to DISprove. By attempting to do this, you are actually using intelligence to create a life-sustaining enviroment.
And in thinking as I wrote this, I thought of something else. (keeping in mind my science and vocab, excuse and correct me if this is completely off the wall and ridiculous.) How do you know that the "ancestors" of the E. coli didn't have whatever it was they needed to do whatever it was they did/are doing? (I desperately need to study this stuff more D=) I mean, couldn't it have been in their "blood," I guess, and they not had it, but their "offspring" did? Can scientists test for that?
Then, we believe that Genesis is a literal account. There would be many problems if it weren't. God doesn't care about poetry. The path of the Righteous doesn't look like the fun or easy path, by any means. It's the narrow, difficult path. But we have God to help us get through it. I love Pilgim's Progress. XD
So anyways, you're right. Not everything is in the Bible. But God tells us what we need to know. FOr example, He tells us all we need to know about what is NOT true, and he tells us about what...hm,... what... what his plan is, I guess. And he tells us certain facts, that we need to know to understand what really happened. But he leaves lots of blanks that we as believers have to fill in.
Now, back to SCIENCE. yuck.
Adrian, if you don't mind me asking, why did you turn from the Lord? Please don't be offended... I was just wondering...
Some of my friends get stumped on questions, and that makes them turn from God. I think that happens with a lot of people. But for me, it just makes my faith stronger. I love questions like; If God is everywhere, all the time, than how can he not be in an unbeliever's heart? And more humorous questions but that still get me thinking. Like; can God make a rock so huge that he can't lift it? They entertain me, not pull me away. They actually help me in my relationship with the Lord. Was it unanswered questions that pulled you away from Him?
