Is there a god?

"People always tell that me that they don't understand how animals and plants adapt. They tell me they see a chair and know it is designed, and they see grass and see it is designed the same way. A watch works and it is designed - and so since most birds have wings to fly they must be designed, but this is just a way people explain things that they can't understand, after taking a biology course, or even reading a book, one can understand with ease how creatures adapt and develop. It seems normal to me after not understanding how nature develops a child or uneducated culture will explain things with magic - it is unreasonable for educated adults in today's society to explain these parts of nature with magic." - DuncanMcNeil

So this has nothing to do with Christianity right? Good, because it is common sense that things will adapt and change due to thier environment. The thing about it is, can things competly change thier species from one thing to another? That is what the thing is, and it isn't proven as a Fact. The way i see it, there are many different types of birds, mammals, reptiles, fish, amphibians, plants, fungi etc. but they still are what they are. They are changing due to thier changing evnironment, and that's adaptation. But, if you mean evolution as bacteria to man, that is just another idea. Also, you are of course not refering to Christianity when you say magic, i just want to make that clear with myself.

"I do know some things for certain however and so do many people who have dedicated their life to science.  First, evolution is real. It happens every day in many species throughout the planet and we have observed & documented its consequences directly. It is indeed very possible, if not near certain that we evolved from lower life. Although this is called a "scientific theory" the use of the word "theory" does not mean it is uncertain, it simply means we do not have all the details to connect the dots but we know it to be true not by faith but by science. Do not confuse scientific theory with the term "idea" or "possibility" like many faiths do. A good reference to anyone who want to really dig into evlotion is 1st learn some ecology, then microbiology then specifically look at our own cells and compare them to bacteria (im not just talking about anatomy here but also behavior and structure) especially look at our embryological development. The other big step is to learn about sponges to see how it can all be possible. Then you just connect the dots and you will find that given the age of the earth, it is very possible that we evolved into what we are now." - marc

Ok. In no way is Christianity against adaptation. In no way am I (not saying your refering to me) to dumb to understand what a theory is. In no way do i not know what ecology is. If you look at our genetic make up of other living things, of course you would find a similarity. Why? Because we all are made by God. But you don't belive that so i'll say something else. We all originate in the planet Earth. I don't understand this though. Your mind, think abuot it, think about your ability to think, think about how your brain works, and eventually your mind which can make an alternate world for yourself. Think about your mind and you start thinking about your soul. then start thinking about all the other intricasies of the human body (or matter of fact all forms of life).

Is it that people are afraid to accept the mysteries and wonders of God? Is it that htey just so can't believe God that they would accept full-Evolution without thinking truly and deeply about it? In no way is the length of the Earth a long time. A few billion years isn't going to change nature so drastically. You call me crazy for me and my reasons of Faith in God. But i call you foolish for you and your Facts of Evolution. 

Having only Science in your mind makes you weak. You eventually lose sight of what you are. But then, in what way could i make you understand? We'd argue forever to make you see the point. In what way could i make somebody regain the part of life that says I Am Not just another beast of the earth? Why is it that Humans are artificial? Why am i still arguing? i can't change you so whatever. Just don't bash.
