Just a different perspective here. I am a Christian, but I do not deny the [i]evidence[/i] of that of evolution. However. I believe to the core that such [i]adaptability[/i] was given to the living entities of earth in the short term as a way of making different environments livable. I do not, however, believe in the concept that humans evolved from a lesser species but rather were given those same gifts to adapt to the planet we live. As far as the Big Bang and such that people seem to want to relate to the evolution theory, I personally believe it was engineered by God if it happened. Evolution was founded by a second means of understanding what we are and the earth around us and its species, but when I learn and discover the different amazing things on earth I think of it as discovering what God has created and all that goes with it. And in that there are no holes. I posting this here because it's already a rage thread, just posting my perspective.

  • That's a good perspective. Why is it a rage thread?

  • I guess it's not really now that I look again, it was more of an assumption because people always seem to get butthurt over these things Lol. I just decided to say something because the op was actually intelligent about his post.

What makes you believe they were "given" similar traits as us?[/quote] Lemme rephrase a little. I believe that God created everything with an ability to adapt to their surroundings and environments. That birds in one place over time will develop (by selection and other means) beaks appropriate for the food available as an example. Birds with longer and sharper beaks to grab smaller insects would survive more in one area while another with shorter stronger beaks for cracking nuts would survive in another. I believe this is by design.

    So basically God created natural selection? What makes it hard to believe we evolved from something else? The concept that God created Adam and Eve?

But it was possible before and severely limited after the flood because of what mankind did with genetics. That part is mostly inferred by the bible but I believe those things were done at Gods discretion.
