God's Place In Evolution

slevesque writes:Okok, well I not too well versed in that subject, but I have to say that this all seems to be more of an hypothesis then an established fact., which seems to be intricately connected to the documentary hypothesis.Which, in my humble opinion, seems to be an outdated hypothesis for the authorship of the Pentateuch. But that's probably another subject

The difference being that we can detect the percentage of oxygen in a gaseous atmosphere. Even more, we can create oxygen free atmospheres and see if that person does survive.What are the analogous supernatural experiments that we can do?

Well, you can always just look at the gods in the two fables themselves to see the evolution of the god description. The two different gods are completely unlike, one competent and sure but aloof and apart, the other fumbling, unsure, fearful but personal, intimate.

(yes, I know this is an unfounded assertion)

not true releasing a captive animal that had no contact with its own species in the wild is fatal to the animal because it does not know how to survive there what happened to the instinct ?????You have a point here. But something similar is also true for isolated big- brained humans, as I pointed out in the outset. We are endowed with certain capacities, but the way we are nurtured (our environment, our training) has much to do with what we become and are capable of. You keep talking about your one god what abbout the other 100 000 gods out there those where imagined right ???I did not elaborate in my original post, but my reference to one God comes from the fact that a comparison of various religions reveals striking similarities in their specific themes, "fables" and "legends". It's basically the same story different characters (and sometimes additional ones). Many religions feature accounts about a golden age/age of perfection, a fall from perfection, and an interesting one is the account of the ancient flood "legend" found in various forms in cultures all over the world. The fact that many cultures all over the world contain an ancient flood legend supports the fact that humanity started in one place, with one God, and one religion, and spread. When people spread, details became added and embellished. Well i dont believe in god and most of my friends dont and we still havent died been struck by lightning ....... so my guess is THEY are not so fundamental

All creatures differs little from their parents, but what hard evidence do we have that one species or kind became another?

Obviously, God gave the first man language, spoke to him, and instructed him.

Also, who is the common ancestor between man and apes? If he is only a theory, what is the evidence for him?
