why humans are frail, i would blame (according to the bible) the fall of man in the garden of eden. all was perfect before then, and it just got worse afterwards.
|
I don't remember is saying anything about being "perfect" for adam and eve... i just remember they were naked.. then ate some fruit because the snake with legs (iguana) told them too.. so after they did god told them they had to wear clothes and then took the snakes legs away from him so he would have to slither on his stomach everywhere for the rest of time..

i wish i were taking hebrew so i could tell you exactly what the hebrew means by "image", because i suspect that it means in his appearance... because if we were just like him we would be gods ourselves (as the mormons believe we will become)
|
Well... i was talking about in his own image as in appearance... and another thing on that.. why are there black/asain/indians/whites and everyother ethnic group i left out... "made in his apperance" indians and blacks don't look the same.... neither do asains and whites.. unless they are talking about physical body structure.. but then there would be a problem with the midgets and/or anyone else that an apperance altering disease..

as far as the animals, i dont know exactly. why have animals gone extinct? well, for a vast majority of the animals that have gone extinct you could blame humans. deforestation, overpredation, all that good stuff
|
Overpredation??.. you would think god would know how to balance out the ecosystems a little better...

as far as the two stomachs thing, the appendix in humans and all of that jazz, all i can say is that microevolution obviously takes place. its obvious as you look at the minor changes that happen in different generations of certain species, darwins finches for example. perhaps those stomachs in the dolphins were initially used, and became unneeded. why didnt God make them that way to begin with? well, i would say because conditions have changed over the years and generations of dolphins. the amount of food has changed, the amount of food needed to sustain their metabolism has changed, i dont know. thats my best guess

Yea.. well heres my best guess... follow the chart
Amino acids -> DNA -> Single Celled -> Multi Cellular (sp?) -> Plants
^---> Single Celled ^--> Animals -V
V---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
V->Fish -> fish
V->Amphibious Bugs -> Regular Bugs
>->Amphibians -> Reptiles
^->Dynapsids -> Gators/Lizards
- ^->Dinosaurs -> Birds
-->Synapsids ->Mammals -> Great Apes -> Prime Apes -> Humans
Yea.. im sure yall can figure that out.. Evolution baby.. the reason we are here today..

though 87x may take no comfort from it,

I take comfort knowing that when i die, well.. i dont know what will happen.. people say that when you die your brain stire fires its nerve pulses for 15 seconds.. and while sleeping you know that 15 secs can seem like an eternity.. so thats probably the reviewing of there life sensation people always talk about getting right before they die or think they are about to die or come back from the dead
(no im not talking about zombies, im talking about when you flat line for like 10 seconds.. then come back).. but i can't really say whats comming for me in death, because the more you think about the more confused you get... try it..
