I have no problem with evolution of living creatures, though I don't think undirected evolution can explain everything., if you say no, you would have to argue the ages of various species making their arrival on this planet. No problem there either. We know different species have appeared over time. Problem for you is, you're desperate for a spiritual explanation No, I simply can't think of a more reasonable explanation for the origin of information and an information encoding system than intelligent design. I think we can say any encoded information was created by an intelligent being, whether its information encoded in books, software .... or living cells. I think you are desparate to deny this. Unless you can come up with a reason for homo sapiens having DNA so similar to earlier species, your argument is silly. Why shouldn't we have DNA similar to earlier species? "How did the information and information encoding system in the first life originate?" First life is an amoeba...you understand that..is that the encoding system you're referring to????? So how did the information and information encoding system in amoeba's originate?And BTW, you are totally flustered with regard to JC's DNA.....there is nothing consistent in your theory....and it's making you nervous.... LOL I'm sure Jesus had normal human DNA. In fact, Christian dogma would require it. "He is of the same reality as God as far as his deity is concerned and of the same reality as we ourselves as far as his humanness is concerned; thus like us in all respects, sin only excepted." From the Chalcedon creed.
