And all of that programmed into their DNA without any brain matter, or
any kind of thoughts, No eyes to see with, and no ears to hear with,
just an unconscious force. That's like walking into Walmart and they
tell you none of that merchandise was made by anyone. It was all
created by blind and deaf evolution over millions of years.
James, are you being sarcastic here?
Sometimes sarcasm is factual.
If not, can you see the flaw in your analogy?
If I thought it had flaws, I wouldn't have posted it.
Would you accept that explanation? If so, then I have a large statue
in a New York harbor, that I can give you a good price on.
The first life form was allegedly a microscopic one cell thing in a
primitive soup. So the next time you open up a Campbell's can, keep on
the lookout.
Many of the planets and moons out there at least fit the extremophile
environments. Yet NOTHING, zero, null, 00. That pregnant evolution
thing on earth allegedly gave birth to millions of things. Yet on
other planets and moons evolution must have been sleeping.
We don't know yet if there is life on other planets. How do you already >know?
There are trillions of planets and moons out there. If macroevolution
is real, the universe should be teaming with life forms. Look what
alleged evolution did on this planet. It didn't just created one
species, But possibly TRILLIONS.
We should at least see non-earth extremophiles within our solar system
of planets and moons. How can a universal force go nuts here,
then close up shop elsewhere? Something sounds and smells fishy.
Can you give us a reference?
Sure. (

So in our Milky Way galaxy planets are estimated to be 100-200
billion. (not counting their moons)
But we are just one GALAXY among billions, or even TRILLIONS. (

So all the above can be summed up at Genesis 1:1,
Do you accept the bible as an authoratative textbook of settled science?
Yes. for example the earth is round:
-- New King James
Isaiah 40:22 It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like
a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.
The word "circle" there comes from the Hebrew word "hhug". Which
according to Davidson's Concordance means also "sphere".
Also, the Bible says this:
Back then concerning the earth:
The Egyptians said it was supported by pillars.
The Greeks by Atlas.
In India by elephants.
The Bible:
-- New King James
Job 26:7 He stretches out the north over empty space; he hangs the
earth on nothing.
So to combine them: We have a spherical earth floating in a void in
space. Sound familiar?
The Bible says the universe had a beginning. Genesis 1:1.
Scientists agree it had a beginning with the Big Bang.
- New King James
1 Corinthians 15:41 There is one glory of the sun, another glory of
the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from
another star in glory.
Scientists now know that there are blue stars, yellow ones, white
dwarfs, neutron stars, and others.-
Centuries before naturalists were aware of migration, Jeremiah wrote
(seventh century B.C.E.) "The stork in the sky knows the time to
migrate, the dove and the swift and the wryneck know the season of return."-Jeremiah 8:7, The New English Bible.
A thousand years before Christ, Solomon wrote in figurative language
about the circulation of the blood. (Ecclesiastes 12:6) Medical
science did not understand it until the 15th century C.E.
The Mosaic Law (16th century B.C.E.) reflected awareness of disease
germs thousands of years before Pasteur.-Leviticus, chapters 13, 14.
The creation account of Genesis is accurate biology-testified to by
the fossil record and by modern genetics-when it says that each family
kind was to reproduce "according to its kind."-Genesis 1:12, 21, 25.
The genetic blueprint in the fertilized human egg cell contains
programs for all the bodily parts before any hint of their presence.
Compare Psalm 139:16: "Your eyes [Jehovah's] saw even the embryo of
me, and in your book all its parts were down in writing, as regards
the days when they were formed and there was not yet one among them."

Likewise, about 800aB.C.E. the prophet Amos, a humble shepherd and
farmworker, wrote that Jehovah is othe One calling for the waters of
the sea, that he may pour them out upon the surface of the earth.o
(Amos 5:8) Without using complex, technical language, both Solomon and
Amos accurately described the water cycle, each from a slightly
different perspective...." (2005 Watchtower, 4/1)
If you have any questions about the Bible, I will see what I can find.
