Did the movie state how God was created by come chance? Surely something as powerful, intelligence, and "complex" as God had to have something that designed him/her correct? |

So my mom's boyfriend brought this video over today by Lee Strobel called The Case for the Creator. There's also two more but the creator was the one we watched. If you haven't heard of him, Lee Strobel is the guy who used to be an athiest, went out to find proof that there was no God, and ended up becoming a Christian in the process. He wrote a book called The Case for Christ, which my mom actually got me awhile ago but I could never read because it was too boring. |

The Case for Christ, or the case for the Creator/God? There's a big difference in that one of them advocates the belief in specific religions that incorporate the idea of Christ, while the other deals with creationism in general. |

Damn, lol, how could I not have thought of that. |
|
He wrote The Case for Christ, which I have not read. We watched the Case for the Creator, which was specifically about creationism. There were also two other videos, which my mom's boyfriend said focused on Christ and then focused on why Christianity was the only way to God. |

lol well now i just feel much better!!!! thankyou!!!! |

Evolution, on a scale that we're talking about here, is rare to observe. However, evolution, has proven to exist on smaller scales, such as with insects and viruses, bacteria, ect... Evolution takes time. In order for something as complex as a human to have evolved, it would take probably millions of years. Thats the reason we never witness it on this scale. Its not something that happens over night. |

I thought the link between birds and their reptilian predecessors was a big deal in the evolution gig right now, being that there exists no physical evidence for it? Don't be afraid to talk about it, an explanation goes a lot further than just saying "No", and I'm open for whatever you have to say. |

The theory itself doesn't have missing links or missing evidence that would be needed to assert its standing as an accurate scientific theory. Rather, there are specific unanswered questions within evolutionary biology, just as there are unanswered questions in all other scientific fields. |

Exactly. |

Right. When I said "missing links" I was using a term common to the evolution community that's meant to imply that specific evolutionary paths haven't been fully explained yet, that there are certain specimens that have remained as of yet undiscovered and effect the credibility of some of the theories within the theory of evolution (reptilians to birds, as a rough example). My intention was not to challenge the concept as a whole... Although I can see how it appeared that way. |

I thought theory of evolution was pretty convinving until reading some material by non-Christian creationists, more specifically, The Dalai Lama. HH Dalai Lama brings up the point that Darwin's theory does not account for altruism---when one organism gives its life for the betterment of the being's entire society. It's easiest to see in humans, but honey bees will also give their lives to protect the hive. Could conciousness be the result of millions of years of evolution to benefit one set of beings in particular? Now there's a missing link.... |

like i said, i dont know enough on the topic to prove it wrong. by all means i would LOVE it if you would watch the video and tell me exactly why it is wrong. otherwise, this video explains how throughout fossil records, you don't see a gradual species change, it goes from small species to pretty complicated species with spinal cords in a really fast amount of time. also, it says scientists around the world have signed a document AGAINST darwinism. |

I have thought about altruism too. |

Evolution doesn't imply biological determinism, especially so in sentient beings. |

I would really appreciate it if someone would watch a little bit of the video, I'd like to hear from someone who actually knows what I'm talking about. |

Xaqaria
The planet Earth exhibits all of these properties and therefore can be considered alive and its own single organism by the scientific definition.does the planet Earth reproduce, well no unless you count the moon.7. Reproduction: The ability to produce new organisms.

lol thankkkkyouuuuuu! ill check those out |

Yeah, Strobel pulls that whole "I was an atheist" bull, but he was what you would call a "I want to drink and party, therefore I won't believe in god" atheist. So he didn't come to any form of conclusion or conviction based on evidence, he was just an idiot. |
