Re: Genetic Information
LOL!
Unfair of me to even comment but I'll let Buz explain how you read him totally wrong.

Re: Genetic Information
You personally BELIEVE that God had nothing to do with it.
There's a substantial amount of evidence that your "God" is a fabrication, so it's impossible for "God" to have had anything to do with it; there's no such thing.
This is up for debate.
You would be the first theist in a long while who was truly prepared to honestly debate the existence of God - if you actually are. Like most theists, though, I suspect you're not prepared to become an atheist if atheist arguments are convincing. Won't the debate simply end with you saying "well, say what you like, but you can't shake my faith in God"? And if you're not even willing to consider the other side, how can you debate it?
So I suppose if I threw a rock off a mountain, then hiked down, there would be a brand new Ford F-350 waiting for me at the bottom, based entirely on random occurances on the way down.
If that happens to you (or me) in the next week, I'll believe in God. I promise.
Absurd, just-in-time coincidences are your position, theist, not mine.

Re: Genetic Information
So because my christian God is wrong, there cannot be any higher being?
Dennis, there are no gods at all, Christian or otherwise.
Though this subject is very tough to debate, because the information in the Bible is not accepted by evolutionists.
I absolutely accept that the Bible makes a variety of claims.
If the Bible is truely the written word of God, then 100% of it must be true. If it is not, then it was not God directed, and Christianity is not 100% true.
So what you're saying is that if any of the Bible can be shown to be false, you'll stop believing in God?
If natural selection and macroevolution over time is true, then your entire belief system is based on just-in-time coincidences, hahahaha.
Again, theism is the belief structure predicated on absurd, just-in-time coincidence. Atheism is not.
