Delbert, You asked several questions and made declarative statements in your last post. I chose how to respond. Yes God is omnipotent and omniscient. Now I suppose you will proceed to blame Him for all suffering. God created a universe with free will for man and He established the laws that govern it so that there is a random element to the order of the universe. If He set aside the laws that govern the world by intervening He would be nullifying the reason He created that random element. I am not God so that I know His mind and can explain exactly why He did it this way, but I can see that He did. God will never intervene and thwart your free will. He gave it to you and He will let it run just as he lets this random element in the universe run. On mutations, you state an example that is driven by man's intervention. And it is not a mutation but just a resistance that is developed. Our immune systems develop resistance to some disease or illnesses for us, but we did not mutate. The templates for resistance to disease are passed from mother to child in humans in the mothers milk during the first few days. These templates would have to be made again by a child that did not breast feed. Our DNA was not changed for our benefit. For evolution to be possible any observed mutation must have happened naturally and the DNA must have changed for the benefit of the organism and be able to be passed down to the next generation. But this does not happen. The DNA is fixed in every organism. Any mutations that were observed were in fact damage to the DNA. The damage was either deadly to the organism or benign enough to allow the organism to live out it's life. The DNA cannot mutate, it is fixed for each species. If DNA cannot beneficially mutate evolution is impossible. It is proved it cannot and therefore evolution is an impossible myth. Please don't slander me by calling me Rush. He is an idiot and it's reactionary on your part. I would have to read the book "A brief History of Time" again to find Hawking's exact quote. He makes references to God and His role in the universe throughout his book. The age of the universe and the world as put forth by "scientists" cannot be confirmed in any scientific way. It is just a guess. The age of the universe is determined by it's observed rate of expansion now. But at the big bang we don't know at what rate it expanded initially. There was no one there to observe it. If the universe expanded a lot faster than scientists predict (guess) that it did then it is much younger than the guesses that have been made. What if the expansion was nearly instantaneous to near the point we are at today and then it slowed, the universe could easily be as young as biblical history predicts. Without an observer to record it there is no way to know. Your assertions are based on faith. There is no real science to back you up. Bob
