Well, I guess if you can go back on a promise, I can change my mind? Now, what about that definition?

Neologist,

Yes it's true. CI has told us several times that most of his family and friends are:

a) smarter than he is

b) and they are Christians too.

Honest. Intrepid will back me up on this.

This is an interesting question since both evolutionists and creationists may have to answer the same question.

I really don't see how this is insurmountable for creation but not for evolution. If all species, according to evolution, can be traced back in time to a single ancestor, then how did all those species travel from one spot on the globe to where they are today?

Isn't this simply a logistical problem that faces the creationist and evolutionist alike?


Plate tectonics is a big part of the answer. Farmerman will be able to give you a great answer I am sure. In the meantime there is a super animation of the breakup of the sub-continent Gondwana that you can look at.

Hi Mesquite,

Yes, I am very familiar with plate tectonics and really have no problem with it. (Some Christians even believe it is referred to in Genesis, which speaks of the earth being divided in the times subsequent to the Flood.)

My point was that the current geographical distribution of species in their various habitats around the globe cannot be seen as an insurmountable problem for only creationists. It is a logistical question that both creationists and evolutionists face since both basically believe that all living creatures would have had to migrate from one spot on the globe to where they are now.

The evolutionist thinks they were changing into different creatures as they migrated, the creationist doesn't. That's the only difference.

Brandon9000,

No, I don't want to drag it off topic. I am sorry if it appeared that way. I was just asking why you felt you need to use those words. Just puzzled by it, that's all.

In my opinion, the only way to learn the structure of the universe is by observation, experiment, and logic, and I don't think you're going to end up with God that way.

For how long would you observe? What is the experiment that would be used? What logic process will be put into place?

Well, as a Christian, I believe God created everything. So, to me it's not about ending up with God that way, it's about beginning with him.

Oh yeah, anybody seen C.I.? I think he has some 'splaining to do.
