NosyNed please try to use what I post in context. God creating life is not life arising from non-life via purely natural processes.
Please provide a reference that supports that the majority of Christians adhere to your statement. I have always observed the contrary- that the majority hold to a special creation. That being the diversity arose from the originally created kinds.
NosyNed:
If life did arise by supernatural processes then yes, I agree, the possiblitiy of the diversification by supernatural processes at least becomes a possibility. However it is not required.
John Paul:
Lol! No supernatural processes are required. Just the design to evolve. And yes if life was designed to do so it could evolve/ vary very rapidly under specific conditions. Also many species were not required aboard the Ark. For specifics please read "Noah's Ark: A Feasibility Study" by John Woodmorappe. He places less than 16000 animals aboard the Ark- insects and aquatic animals not among them.
