<b>spe-cies</b> n. pl. 1.) a distinct kind; sort. 2.) <b>any</b> of the groups of <b>related plants or animals</b> that make up a genus. - Webster's New World Dictionary.
there you have it. my previous explaination IS accurate. different species within the same plant or animal family can be achieved through selective cross-breeding.
ok, salt deserts are explainable by science... how about the giant clam that was nowhere near where the ocean should have been? there's a lot of fossils that science CAN'T explain without a global flood of some sorts.
i also know how plate tectonics work. i said that the pentagon developed a theory of how BOTH (the flood and plate tectonics) are possible. and there is pleanty of evidence supporting the flood... and i've given a decent amount of it.
i find it humerous how some people will be so quick to believe that living cells just magically appeared on the earth by some chemicles mixing together and being electricuted. then somehow managed to create itself extra DNA in order to progress higher in the "evolutionary ladder"... but yet they will refuse to believe that there's something else out there (God) that created us...
what i speak of (species changing through crossbreeding and such) is adaptation. true you can consider this a form of evolution... the evolution i don't believe in is bacteria progressing into invertibrates, progressing into fish, progressing into amphibians, progressing into reptiles, and so on and so forth... because it's IMPOSSIBLE. darwin himself even renounced his theory of that happening. in order for a change in an animals anatomy to happen like that it'd have to gain substantial amounts of DNA... tell me... how does DNA just appear out of nowhere in the nucleus of an organism? and also... maybe you could try explaining why it is we can't find the fossils to verify that this form of evolution actually took place? where's all the half mammal/half dolphins that drowned before dolphins learned how to evolove into aqautic mammals? there's far too many holes for evolution to be even close to accurate.
as for why God would choose to put the animals in a boat instead of just starting over... that's a good question, and i honestly can't tell you the answer to it. i'm not God, nor do i claim to understand why he does what he does.
digit, don't worry about it being 2 against one... i don't mind
it just might take me a little longer to reply.
i personally only read the King James Version. not because of what a pastor tells me; but because i've done outside research and found out that the other versions were translated from a text that was taken from the textus receptus (the original greek and hebrew texts) and altered by 2 people who were deeply involved in the occult and hated the original texts. these versions were also <i>interpreted</i> by the translators. the KJV was translated word for word (meaning the took the original word and matched it with the closest possible english word).
most people who are Christians will tell you they don't have all the answers (unless they're an idiot and think they do). i don't disagree that science plays a big roll, and has a lot of truth. but i do believe it is very flawed.
i'll post again on some of the differences between KJV and the more modern versions.
