Knight, like I said before, we believe in a different God. You created your God in your imagination; I get mine from the Bible.
I am not a catholic, and I don't care what they do or say. They did many things that are not biblical including gay priests and accepting evolution, it has become very corrupt because they set their own doctrines instead of taking them from the Bible. I don't even think they use the same version of Bible as me.
Which version of creation do you believe in? Genesis or Adam and Eve. Cause if you look closely, you'll see that there are two separate stories.
Please, enlighten me further.
Maybe God *intended* evolution by natural selection, because he saw a Universe that ran entirely on its own and didn't require his constant intervention to be more beautiful, elegant, and efficient. Do you believe that God needs to push the planets?
He did intend natural selection, he did intend adaptation to the environment - within a kind. That is why creation was over in 6 days, and there was no creation after that, only adaptation.
Gravity pushes planets, not God. But, explain this to me: Why does gravity exists?, for that matter why any of the physics laws exists? who/what set them?
If he is powerful enough to create life (in any form) wouldn't He be powerful enough to preserver His word?
I don't really know what this means.
It means that if He has power to create life, He certainly has enough power to preserve the Bible (His word means Bible).
Plenty of legends mention dragons... how come they aren't regularly seen today devouring ships or razing cities to the ground?
How many times have you seen or heard that Grizzly bears razing cities? Just a couple weeks ago there was a story on CNN about the "lost world" somewhere in Asia, where scientists discovered new species of birds, how come those birds were not seen regularly? And there are a lot more places like that. Africa has a swamp the size of Texas that is completely unexplored, and where there was a lot of citing. People who saw something like that would think twice before going around and telling the story, because of the fear of being laughed at (after all those creatures died 70 mil years ago). Crypto-zoology is the name of the field, check it out.
And for those of you who think Evolution and creation can be true consider this:
Bible: Earth before sun
Evolution: Sun before earth
Bible: Oceans before land
Evolution: Land before oceans
Bible: Light before sun
Evolution: Sun before light
Bible: Land plants first
Evolution: Marine life first
Bible: Fruit trees before fish
Evolution: Fish before fruit trees
Bible: Fish before insects
Evolution: Insects before fish
Bible: Plants before sun
Evolution: Sun before plants
Bible: Marine mammals before land mammals
Evolution: Land mammals before marine mammals
Bible: Birds before reptiles
Evolution: Reptiles before birds
Bible: Atmosphere between 2 layers of water
Evolution: Atmosphere above water
As you can see everything about evolution is backward compared to the Bible. So, no, one cannot logically believe both, It's one or the other.
