How can evolution be true if there are no between-stage fossils? (+ 1 more question)

That is the problem nos.The tower of Babel was disrupted by God becasue 'they wanted to make a name for themselves'. God, just as any father, created us to be sons and is dejected by sons wanting to 'name themselves' as much as any of us would be dejected at a son disowning his parent guided youth.Hell is nothing more than finding out that by 'naming' oneself you got what you wanted but it was bottom rung compared to what you could have had.What you call a forceful tyrant I call a loving father. This misunderstanding between parents and children in this generation exactly mimics our evasion of our heavenly father. Every teenager at one time or other thinks his parents are tyrrants. Many realise the error of their ways once they pass through this stage. It is no differnt in approaching God. The Bible even explains that the culmination of earth history will be in the 'fathers joining with the children and the children joining with the fathers'.Read the parable of the Prodigal Son for (i) God's viewpoint, (ii) the rebellious one as well as (iii) the 'other' son who stayed home but was only complient. The concept of father/son transcends this age.[This message has been edited by Tranquility Base, 10-17-2002]

MPWho knows howmany interactions occurred between God and the first couple before that time. Within the context of the entire Scriptures I believe God acted because he could see the action of genuine rebellion and loved them too much to let it pass. Just as I chastise my kids out of love (most of the time).
