You've been strangely silent since you asked why people think =

umans

ng the
responses- the only reason you might do so is because there's =

much
factual information there to ignore (or you got called away fr=

I can't understand why Suzanne would ask this question and
not find it appropriate to give some kind of response.

Suzanne, like some who came before (Zoe Althrop, for example) has a=3D20
problem of hypothesis and conclusion.

Suzanne's hypothesis is this: =A0God created the universe and everything=
=3D20
in it. =A0It's in the Bible, it therefore must be true.

Her conclusions must follow from that hypothesis.

She scratches vigorously to attempt to pick up bits and pieces of=3D20
science that will fit her hypothesis and reinforce her conclusion. =3D20
Anything outside that is ignored.

I don't expect much from here any more.

Myself, I have no problem with the belief that God created the
universe and everything in it, nor with the belief that whatever
is in the Bible is true.

The problems arise when someone says that evolution is false, or
that the Bible says that evolution is false. And I have some
interest in whether the Bible says anything about "kinds",
whether God created them, whether they are fixed, whether there
have been any new kinds (or extinction of old kinds), whether
all of humanity is of one kind, and so on.

Of course man is one kind.

Do you have a Biblical text to that effect?


Why? is one necessary?

Because I was talking about Biblical texts, and you seemed
to be responding to what I was saying.


Are you saying there are others that fall into "our" catagory?

We belong to lots of categories. For example, we are all
eukaryotes: Like many other forms of life, most of our
cells have nuclei.




How much "PROOF" do you need?

I certainly accept the fact that Homo sapiens is one
species. Is "kind" equivalent to "species"? Is there
any Biblical support for that?


Why? would your definition of "kind" change your whole
"world view"?



O.K then, why not use evolutionists definition of "kind".

Lets pick any branch on the "phylogenetic tree".

Now you have two choices!

1) These branches are seperate. (analogous to "kinds")

2) These branches are "not" seperate, and the tree is false!


You choose!

Do you have a coherent position that you would like to tell
us about?
