Yankeeabe:
Sorry, I guess I wasn't specific enough. When I mentioned creationism, I meant to refer only to the kind belegkano and others believe in. I realized that there was a kind of creationism that could coexist with evolution, but after I typed all that other stuff, it sort of slipped my mind. :/ sorry
I think your view of creationism is a lot more plausible than the other kind (no offense, belegkano), although I don't believe in either one. I'd rather not get into a debate over it, though, since that would inevitably lead to an argument over the existence of God, and I've never seen one of those get anywhere.
By the way, it's refreshing to see someone so open-minded about religion, who obviously doesn't take everything the Bible says literally or unquestioningly. Thanks.
belegkano:
"creation and evolution wont ever mix,mesh,or blend together,in any way"
Suppose God created the first single-celled organisms, which then evolved into plants, animals, etc. over billions of years. Wouldn't creationism and evolution mix then?
"evolution cant fit into 10,000 yrs or so of history,it takes to long"
Um, life has been around for more than 10,000 years. A lot more. There is abundant evidence to prove this. Heck, we've found human skeletons much, much older than that.
"not only that ,its impossible to inter-breed two species"
Evolution wouldn't require species to inter-breed...
There's a lot of grey area between species. Scientists have discovered situations where there are 3 or more kinds of a bird (A, B, C) where A and B can breed, B and C can breed, but A and C can't. Species aren't always clearly defined. A segment of a population of one kind of organism can thus evolve through this grey area towards a new kind of organism. (I hope that made sense; it's kind of hard to explain.)
"God doesnt care if dolphines have five 'fingers'on there flippers,he made them that way to make us,(i guess)wonder"
Wonder about what? Unless I'm misunderstanding you, it sounds like you're suggesting God is intentionally trying to mislead us. I'm pretty sure that contradicts a big chunk of the Bible.
"dolphines(for crying out loud)dont even resemble monkeys"
Dolphins' ancestors and monkeys' ancestors split family trees a long, long time ago - long before our ancestors split with monkes' ancestors. Dolphins and monkeys split after the five fingers developed, but before things like legs. I wouldn't expect two species that have gone through millions of generations separately to look much alike.
"God made them to swim around and have fun,
there the only animals that do this,why only did theese animals(who have so much to fret about ,like sharks and food)seem noot to care?
according to wat u believe,they shouldn't"
A few problems with this:
Sorry, but I doubt you're an expert on dolphins. Neither am I, but I'm quite sure there's more to them than what you see on Flipper and at Sea World. They feel pain, they get hungry, lonely, angry, and sad, they are capable of killing. Just like any other mammal. (I don't have proof of this, but I can't imagine it being otherwise. If you look hard enough, you'll probably find some stories supporting this.)
Also, dolphins aren't the only playful animals. Monkeys can be, too. And humans. Yes, humans are animals. I'm sure most mammals have fun from time to time, just in different ways.
And why would evolution stop a species from being playful? Maybe an earlier breed had no fun, and they had no will to live. (I think dolphins are intelligent enough to have such feelings.) Then, gradually, more playful dolphins happened to be born, and they had a much better chance of living and making offspring, so they took over.
"they have been programed to evolve,like God might desided to do with us,bet yet he didnt,he says he didnt and he dosent lie "
Please don't respond to arguments with blind faith in the word of the Bible or by saying things like "Don't question God's will." When you do that, I don't know why we're having this discussion. Just try to have an open mind and at least consider what we're saying.
And last, but not least, sorry about your arm. I hope it gets better soon. I hope I haven't sounded too harsh or anything. It's just that you're not looking at all the evidence, and that bugs me for some reason.
I'm sure you're all tired of reading my ridiculously long posts by now, so this'll probably be my last in this thread, unless it looks like it's getting somewhere soon.
