Hugz_n_Kissez: ...A mutation is not evolution...it is merely a replication with some different properties....
Mutations create variation within the gene pool. Less favorable mutations can be reduced in frequency in the gene pool by natural selection....while more favorable (beneficial or advantageous) mutations may accumulate and result in adaptive evolutionary changes !

I thought hybrid mutations were just a mixing of seeds crossbreeding with each other....

This is my own thinking; I believe that before Adam and Eve came on the scene there was something else. Another plan. I don't know what or whom it was that lived before. God had one plan in the Old Testament and another in the New Testament.
God also said that He will create a New Heaven and a new Earth, there will be no more oceans, we will have a new body but no stomach. This is for the believers someday.
crotalus_p: You clearly do not understand scientific thinking,
and please remember Aries that you are the one who ignores evidence to suite your own beliefs
I HAVE my belief because of my own personal experience, which serves as evidence to me...I wasn't always Christian... nor was I enticed into a Church, or influenced in any way(by any third party).... my decision to become Christian happened quite naturally based on a long period of study and reflection.. as well as certain things which have happened, which made it impossible for me to view anything else as the truth...
Crotalus.. apart from quoting sources.. you are a person who seems to have very little to contribute of your own... ok as a 'scientific' mind you should know that knowledge and science evolves... and it is evolving in the direction of a higher being.... ur so called 'knowledge' is based on the limited materials you have read (and before you get defensive) you cannot have read them all.. my view (like the views of HD and others) are based on empirical evidence, own deductions as well as the materials we have read.... prior to making my choice I read up on numerous religions and theories...
U clearly have a very inflated view of yourself.. this is a dangerous viewpoint.... as someone who clearly 'knows it all' will not be open to new information...
crotalus_p: Who said anything about chance ??? by the way mike the evolution of the eye has been charted back to the point where it was just a patch of light sensitive skin , and I hardly think that an intelligent design in indicated by the naturally accruing flaw in the eye
Your grasping at straws
Albert Einstein German born American threoretical physicist From a correspondence between Ensign Guy H. Raner and Albert Einstein in 1945 and 1949. Einstein responds to the accusation that he was converted by a Jesuit priest: "I have never talked to a Jesuit prest in my life. I am astonished by the audacity to tell such lies about me. From the viewpoint of a Jesuit priest I am, of course, and have always been an atheist." "I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is a childlike one.You may call me an agnostic, but I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from religious indoctrination received in youth."
you did READ this post didn't you?...

Einstein is here, lambasting a Jesuit priest for having the 'audacity' to call him an Athiest... he goes on to say that while he views the idea of a personal God a 'childlike one'... he emphasises that he does not share the 'crusading spirit of a professional atheist, whose fervour is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from religious......'
blhoover84: with all due respect... athiests are evil because they dont believe in god???
Dunno think 'evil' is a bit more complex than that... it baffles me though... that way of thinking when God is so abundantly present in everything we see ...
Pure evil at the very least would be the absence of any good... I am sure the adverage person.. Athiest or not is not completely devoid of good..

I agree: Evil is far more complex....an atheist *might* be evil simply because they reject religion and God but how would you (or anyone) define Ted Bundy? Jeffrey Dahmer? Evil in the extreme...? These types are definitely beyond evil....

LOL...well, NORAD has this thing every X-Mas eve that tracks him...but I think that's just for the kids...
But, how 'bout this: YOU & I (And anyone else who truly cares) could be Santa and send some of that stuff to the starving kids....instead of waiting for some Pagan icon to do it for us?!
Might make for a good 4-wheeling trip! (I have a 98 Sahara)
