Believe me I'm aware of the science and rationale associated with the theory of evolution. What I have been saying to you is that the science associated with the theory was added after the concept was dreamed up. In other words, there was no evidentiary trail that Darwin followed, that would have led him to a point where he was able to then draw his conclusions. Sorting and stacking proven science to support the theory is the major deception. As you mention, the crown jewel used to validate the discovery of transitory life forms is the example of Archaeopteryx and, said validity is much in dispute. I've not seen any other representations of a transitory life form. And FTR, I'm a big fan of science myself.

In any event, true science never contradicts scripture. And, I know for a fact that God never intended for man to get know Him through scientific investigative efforts. 1 Corinthians 2:13-15 (KJV)
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.


Simply put, the theory of evolution is meant to give those who prefer not to submit to the authority of God a plausible alternative reality. The theory of evolution provides that alternative, and as you said. It's an ever changing and mutating (evolving if you will) growing repository of man's wisdom.

Therefore, in light of your upbringing and former association with the things of God, we will have to agree to disagree. I went through a time when I felt similarly and God reached out to me anyway, I hope the same for you.

We will just have to agree to disagree, I suppose.
Darwin had an educated guess based on his research and observations, a hypothesis. Obviously he didn't have the use of such scientific methods that were discovered after his death, such ad DNA and radiocarbon dating that other scientists used years later to prove that his hypothesis was actually fact. His genius brain had the original ideas and they have been expanded on ever since by others.

And you haven't answered my question: Who created God? You said some believe that everything began from a exploding rock.....so, who created the rock? And I answered that was a good question, but if you are going to assume that God created the rock then we have to go on and ask the age-old question of 'who or what created God?' No one has ever given me a satisfactory answer to that question that makes a lick of sense to me.
