ok Gene I will give this my best shot....
I am only guessing mind you but are you a Latter Day Saint (aka) Mormon?
If so you are wrong I know your doctorine very well , some of my good friends are Mormon and I also took some of the classes.
All of that aside, if you are , yes there are certain things I don't agree with, but as far as not beleiving that God doesn't reveal himself today... actually I do beleive that He speaks to people today.
So I guess I'm not as stiff necked as you might think.
Probably if you had an actuall sit down conversation with me in "real" time you would probably be surprised.
But in this type of a back and forth format it's hard for me to always convey everything I would like to say.
It's not like you can inflect your tone of voice through the computer
.
I as a Christian have a personal relationship with God.
I am always looking and searching and questionning.
When I look at the evidence of evolution I just see the evidence different.
And it's not even neccessarily because I am biased by my faith it's because of certain fullfiments that the Big bang and all of the theories used to explain how it all came to be, are not met . For me the answers are not satisfactory . And I am not the only one.
They are such a stretch and no I obviously cannot speak things into existance LOL. But I don't agree with your usage of an egg and seed as comparisons to evolution.
They have the same genetic makeup in the seed and egg stages as they will in their adult stages.
That basis does not change.
That is some of the reason I have a problem with evolution.
Where is the interspecie mating?
Among other things.
Any way Gene just because I may not agree with you doesn't mean I think I'm better in any way...
Just so you know.
