God formed Adam out of the dust of the earth. God made man - the dust did nothing. It was God who formed and breathed a living soul into it and gave it animation/life and dust we shall return.

It's interesting that Christ used mud on the blind man's eyes to perform a miracle - mud does not cure blindness, but God does. Only the power of God made the difference between mud and miracle.

Does evolution, contained within the teachings/textbooks, mention a Creator even as a possibility? - Or does it attempt instead to bypass the creator, as though it's all a result of coincidental occurances?

If it's unscientific to attribute this to a creator and include the idea in a science textbook, do you as an evolutionist find it scientific to exclude a creator? Surely to attribute this to blind chance/coincidence takes an even greater leap of faith to believe than a creator God? And from a standpoint of evolution, do they have the scientific proof to back up any exclusion of a creator and give the credit to blind chance/random processes and time?

Since evolution is taught in science classrooms and textbooks - the burden of proof again lies on the evolutionist. Since the world around us dictates life comes from life, I'd say that any theory excluding such, is unscientific until proven otherwise. As has also been mentioned, even if man could create life in a lab - this would also prove it takes outside intelligence and life to bring forth the same. Therefore, something much greater than us would need to be at work to bring forth all of creation, with all its balance and mathematical precision. All things are set up for life, survival/sustainance. One only has to look around and consider it all and it is indeed mind blowing.

He has revealed Himself in His creation. The evidence is all around us:

Quote

Romans 1:20 - For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.

Quote

"The heavens declare the glory of God, and the skies declare the work of His hands" (Psalm 19:1). "I will praise Thee for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Thy works are wonderful and my soul knows this full well" (Psalm 139:14).

You have frequently accused us of calling all scientists/biologists liars on this forum and you have been answered about this time and time again. You then repeat the same defensive accusations - when instead you could (or should) be presenting the scientific evidence to convince us of why we should place our trust in such a theory and not challenge or dispute it.

So I'll repeat - It is not science and biology itself that people take issue with - it the theory of evolution. I'll give an example of where such beliefs can lead a person and how truly ludicrous it gets:

Fish oil is now considered an essential nutrient, even for vegetarians. Recent research also revealed, that the transformation humans underwent when apes became intelligent and turned into humans happened only in coastal regions, where the apes started to consume large amounts of fish.

Now whether a person reads this and rolls around the floor laughing, or sits in disbelief shaking their heads is one thing, but consider that this is put across by somebody in the medical arena. He not only believes this as a fact, he's put it across as such in a medical/health article as though it is. Sadly there maybe members of the unsuspecting public that read this in blind faith without question. Others more clued up would probably challenge it a bit more Personally, I had to read it more than once to believe that anybody could state such a thing, let alone assume people would accept it in blind faith without checking it out.

We (creationists) are not obligated to accept all the evolutionary claims in blind faith - they are not gods, they are flawed human beings, as are those in the medical profession (all of us are). If people like this with their claims are never challenged or tried, regardless of concerns - it would be even more disastrous! It's thanks to those that do, that many of us are able to help ourselves (if we can repair the damage done). Yet, according to Linear's mindset, anybody who does challenge them are calling them all liars.....He should then not be surprised if the same kinds of accusations are employed towards himself!

Next - The study of Science and biology itself is commendable and very helpful. But it does not depend upon evolution, nor is it based in evolution. Evolution is simply a theory. And theories are just that "ideas". There is no reason why anybody is obligated to believe in evolution, especially through lack of substantial evidence to back it up as being clear cut.

Next - evolutionary scientists are not the only scientists. There are creation scientists who challenge the claims of evolution scientists - even though the majority wins in regards to having the loudest voice, there is another voice and one in which has every right to be heard.

It would appear from Linear's perspective, that it is ok to challenge/dispute/question the claims of Creation scientists and Genesis, but almost blasphemy if one dares to challenge the claims of mainstream evolutionary scientists/biologists .

Yet, ironically, Linear has no problem questioning/challenging scripture at it's very foundation - the word of the living God via inspiration of the Holy Spirit - as though the evolutionary scientists/biologists should be accepted on blind faith without questions/challenges (or we're calling them all liars) but God should not. Since it is God's statements (ultimately) that Linear is disputing/challenging, I'll apply Linear's accusations towards others back to himself - Since Linear questions what the Holy Spirit has revealed to us in Genesis about creation to mankind through his chosen instruments - Linear must therefore be calling God a liar, and all those who believe in His word from the beginning as stated in Genesis.

Quote

Luke 12:10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven,
but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

Since it is the inspiration of the Holy Spirit via men that has given us the written truth within Holy scripture (Starting with Genesis) and that He is the ultimate author - I'd be very careful where one treads in this area and the statements they are making. Be careful about interpreting and symbolising scripture to the detriment of the literal. Any twists/ommissions/additions to scripture is a dangerous position to put oneself and could be a heretical one. We were warned about being a cause of scandal/doubt to others.

This is why fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom.







Those who think they can treat His word as being second place to the flawed theories of man (which they appear to uphold as infallible truths) could very well be insulting God Himself. God is the source of all wisdom/knowledge, not an evolutionary scientist.
