Your entire posting was a copy and paste job from somewhere else and does not include your own personal comments, which is against the guidelines. You also did not give the source and the URL to show where your quote came from. Again against the forum guidelines. A long post I put on the other day on this subject was deleted by the moderator and it was explained why. He said a post must include significant comment by the person pasting it and must give the source / URL. And it must not be too long. According to the mod and guidelines, pasted material must not be so long and the poster's comment so small or non-existent. Without your own comment, we don't know if you even understand what you are pasting. An examination of your post shows it doesn't exactly explain why God could not have created the different species with similarities in DNA, and other structures. Therefore that long talk about similarities in itself does not prove that it was by evolution. There is also no proof that one species evolved from a different species. Creationists believe that creatures adapt within their own species but I will have to look further into that to understand what that means. They do not believe a fish evolved to become a different species such as a bird or animal, but evolution claims all the different species evolved from some basic form of life in a pond or slime. The fossil record apparently does not prove what you think. It does not show evolution from one species to another species. The fossil record does not show a fish evolving to a bird or animal. There is no clear evidence that evolution is true. I will look further into this and make another comment.

With all the Marxist-leaning government we have in Canada, often the answer they have is to tax us. That is true of Trudeau and the Liberals who think they can solve the world's problems through taxation. One of the most egregious taxes is the carbon taxes. What is most disappointing about this is there are many scientists who disagree with the claims of man-made global warming and the taxes on Canadians will make no difference to climate change. Now a local municipal or regional district government is talking about charging people to go to the local beaches on the west coast, possibly an outrageous $10 per car for every four hours. They also want authorities to stop people from parking their RVs on logging roads while they refuse to build enough forest service campsites for campers.

No, Bible believers don't kill those who disagree with them. Followers of false religions are not following the same God as the God of the Bible. There are followers of other religions who in some cases do kill those who do not follow their religion. They are not Christians or Bible believers. The reason it is important to know that the Theory of Evolution is false is that it is contrary to the teaching of the Bible that God created the universe and mankind. Scientists cannot tell you why man is here unless they get that from the Bible. There are scientists who believe the Bible and believe that God created man. They might have some understanding of why man is here. The question of did any of the Bible authors actually meet Jesus. The answer is yes. This writer explains which ones and what the connections of other New Testament authors were to Jesus. Did any of the Bible's contributors actually meet Jesus? - Quora The following website also explains quite well why the New Testament books were not written down immediately at the time of Christ. There are several possible explanations. Why was the New Testament not written right after Jesus' time? (carm.org)

I read the examples you gave and told you that does not prove the theory of evolution. The theory of evolution is easily debunked on a number of fronts. One you should look into is the biological fact of irreducible complexity. At the time of Darwin's theory of evolution, not much was known about biology. It was in the 1800s. We have come a long way since then. Now it is known biological systems such as the human eye are comprised of extremely complex systems that are interconnected and cannot be reduced to a simple black box as Darwin seemed to think. Irreducible complexity means a biological system cannot be reduced to simple parts of systems as evolution would require. The human body has many parts that are complex and cannot be reduced in complexity. This reduces the possibility that evolution by natural selection could produce something as complex as the human eye.

I read your comments, but I am not sure you gave any examples of evolution. The simple fact is there is no proof in existence that proves the theory of evolution. It is pure speculation and always has been. There are many scientists who have gone into great depth to explain why the theory is not credible. There are two parts to the theory of evolution. The first part claims that life came from non-life matter by what is called random chance processes. It claims certain chemical or molecules randomly came together to form the basic building blocks of life. The second part of the theory is a so-called law of natural selection. This theory claims once life was formed, it evolved by the strongest life form surviving and the weakest dying off and not reproducing. Scientists have debunked that on a number of basis. I won't go into that here. But I mention one thing about the first part of the theory of random chance processes, that is, the mathematical law of probability. The mathematical law of probability for example explains what the chances are of life being formed by certain molecules coming together. The odds of that happening by random chance processes are for all intents and purposes zero. But random chance processes is exactly what the theory of evolution claims created life. Mathematicians have shown anything less than 10 to the 50th power has virtually zero chance of occurring. That is 10 to the power of 50 zeroes. That is an awfully large number. Something with less than those odds is virtually an impossibility. The complexity of the most basic building blocks of life is in fact so complex the chances of the atoms or molecules coming together to form the necessary proteins and biological building blocks is a virtual impossibility. To put it another way, it would be equivalent to you playing the lottery every week for a year and winning the jackpot every single time. What are the odds of that happening? The answer is zero, zilch, never. That is the kind of odds of the correct molecules coming together to form the most basic life forms of happening is. It is a virtual impossibility according to the laws of probability.

You say there is no God. I said a divine designer Creator was required to create the complex universe. If there is no God as you claim, then you must have some idea of how the universe came into existence without God. Can you give any explanation of how or where the complex universe came from? By the same token, how would you explain the fact that eyewitnesses who wrote the New Testament said they saw Jesus Christ after he was risen from the dead and they put their lives on the line for what they witnessed. Why would men do that for a lie? That is illogical. Men will tell lies for some purpose or for money or wealth. But they don't lie to put their lives on the line for nothing.

There are in fact books written that debunk the theory of evolution and the various forms of the theory. If one doesn't want to buy a book, there are countless lengthy articles on the internet that go into all of this from a scientific point of view. Two websites with many articles are reformation.edu and creation.com These are not simple articles but are often very scholarly and in great depth from a scientific point of view.

The fossil record has been found impossible to prove the theory of evolution because it is not a record of the alleged evolution of creatures or mankind. It is full of holes. The fossil record does not show a logical record of the evolution of anything, which if evolution were a fact, one would think it would. The geological time chart is likewise full of holes and does not support the theory of evolution. "Despite the insistence of evolutionists that evolution is a fact, it is really no more than an improbable story. No one has ever shown that the mechanism of NDT can result in Evolution A. Most evolutionists assume that long sequences of microevolutionary events can produce Evolution A, but no one has ever shown it to be so. (Those few evolutionists who hold that macroevolution is really different from microevolution have changed their story several times since they first came out with it, and their mechanism is so fuzzy that I have a hard time telling what it is."

The Bible gives an actual account of the resurrection and various other miracles that Jesus performed during his time on earth. God has chosen to inspire men to record these things in his written word. God is not trying to force anyone to believe it. He has chosen the vehicle of his written word and faith as the method of people believing. If you don't want to believe it for some reason or simply don't believe it, that is entirely your choice. Nobody is forcing you to believe it.

Somehow you replied in an unorthodox manner, putting your comments in red mixed in with mine. So when I tried to reply, it doesn't show your comments. A handful of people who broke into the Whitehouse on Jan. 6th does not represent the 70 or 75 million people who voted for Trump or republicans. There were thousands of antifa who burned and destroyed property in many cities in America. These criminals and thugs do not represent the 75 millions voters who voted for Biden either. It is deceptive to try to equate what a handful of radicals do illegally with the hundreds of millions of Americans. You missed my point about the difference between the masses of religious people in the world. There are hundreds of millions or billions that follow various religions, but this is mostly false religion. This is not true Biblical Christianity. I have been talking about what the Bible teaches with reference specifically to the Bible teaching that God created the universe and created man. That is my main point. You tried to digress into all sorts of things that you think add something to the discussion of God being the Creator, but none of it adds anything. The evil in the world does not diminish the truth of God's revelation to man. The fact that many people do not follow or believe the Bible does not undermine or diminish it's truth and authenticity.

You have given no facts to support the theory of evolution. You say evolution is based on facts, but I would challenge you by saying that is a false statement. There is no real evidence or facts to support evolution. Your claim that our ancestors laid eggs is nonsense and false. There is no evidence or proof to connect some creature that laid eggs with humans. Much of the claims about cavemen remains being found and supposedly human ancestors has been debunked as false. In one case, they claimed a tooth was found and from that drew a pre historic man. I believe it was later found to be a pig's tooth and the whole story was therefore debunked. Many of the prophets and apostles that wrote the Bible were actual eye witnesses to the miraculous power of God. For example, apostles who wrote some books of the New Testament had seen Jesus Christ after he was crucified, died, and placed in a tomb and then several days later rose from the dead. Yes, many people saw him after he was resurrected. Much of the events surrounding this are recorded in the New Testament.

There are a number of errors or false assumptions in your statements. Your pictures of embryos is just that, a man-made picture which you are assuming describes evolution. Remember, it is just a picture that someone drew up. It is not the slightest piece of evidence of the theory of evolution. Anyone can make up a picture. All it may be is something meant to explain the theory in picture form. While it might explain what the theory claims, it still does not prove it is a fact. Referring to the Catholic church has nothing to do with the subject of creation versus the theory of evolution. To begin with, the Catholic church is not a Bible-believing church. That is one reason why the Reformation took place 500 years ago. Priests and church broke away from the Catholic church because they found it to be teaching false religion. The Pope may even have endorsed the theory of evolution. So they are not followers of the Bible. So what they did in residential schools has no bearing whatsoever on the truth of the Bible and the Creation account in Genesis. Your other points about sodomy, wars, white supremacists, and illegal actions of some people again were done by people, some of who claimed to be Christian, but were not followers of the Bible. So they were not real Christians. The Bible does say by their works ye shall know them. There have always been evil people in the world. There have always been wars for many reasons. The Communists killed about 100 million people in the 20th century; yet they claimed to be atheists and were opposed to religion. The human nature is a fallen nature and most of the world is in rebellion against the true God of the Bible.

Give just one aspect of the theory of evolution that is true, just one. Surely you can give one fact about evolution that is true.

You have given no evidence to support your belief in the theory of evolution. How about explaining why you believe it? Do you believe in the theory of evolution just because you heard somebody say that is how life came to be? The means it is a cult you are following. If you follow something major like that without a strong enough reason it is a cult belief. Not a good enough reason to believe something. Faith in God is backed up by evidence and rational thinking. The accounts of the working of God are described in the Bible. Eye witness accounts are a very strong evidence for the truth of something. Courts place much weight on eye witness accounts of events. There is no reason why it would be lies. That is why millions of people accept the accounts in the Bible as fact.

You say what evidence is there that God created it all. The answer is all around you. The complex creation is the evidence. It could not have done it without a Designer-Creator. The fossil records are full of holes and do not prove evolution. Evolution has been debunked and credible scientists do not accept it. Showing a picture of the different stages of life do not prove evolution. That is a stretch. That picture was just someone's guess to try to give credibility to a false theory. DNA just proves the complexity of life. Such things as genes, DNA, and the complexity of the most basic elements of life prove it could not have come about by some kind of "random chance process" as the theory of evolution claims. The mathematical law of probability also demonstrates life could not have started by random chance. The most basic building blocks of life are so complex and operate in such a complex way controlled by what appears to be an incredible biological computer that makes man-made computers look like child's play.

Another question to be asked is why do Canadians keep supporting this unethical government? Now the Liberal government is disrespecting the rule of the supremacy of Parliament and taking it to court over it's ruling about releasing documents. This is completely unethical. Parliament is supreme over courts and a court has no place in trying to over-rule a direct order of Parliament in our Parliamentary system.

Progressives changing America is dividing America along a sharp line of division. America was founded on Judeo-Christianity. This means the traditional family, not gender change or LGBTQ ideology as we see going full tilt in the last 20 years or so. Plus all the woke people and left wingers trying to bring in Socialism or Marxism and banish Christianity from schools and society in general. There is a book just recently written describing the possible coming second civil war. The first civil war was unnecessary cost a lot of lives and suffering. But if progressives persist in pushing and forcing their changes on society much of which does not agree, tensions will continue to increase until who know what will happen. Millions of people will not be willing to surrender their basic freedoms. There are many Marxist-leaning radicals who are not willing to live and let live.

The fighting forces are all about masculinity, not the liberal woke ideology of inclusiveness of sexes and genders. They don't mix well together in the same fighting units because males will always be attracted to females. On top of that, men in combat put their lives on the line for their unit and country. They shouldn't feel they are there to defend females, which would be natural if women are part of the unit. You can't call the problem bad culture and expect to change it somehow. It will never work. You can't see it because you are a diehard believer in liberal ideology. However, I have stated what I believe is the problem. You are free to accept it or reject it.

As I have said before, the real problem is with the government and their woke liberal ideology which ignores human nature. Amalgamating men and women is the military might sound like a bright inclusive idea but it completely ignores the reality of two opposite sexes being lumped together. They will never solve the sexual abuse problem and this ideology of inclusiveness in the military plays very well with our Communist adversaries in the world who see this is a wonderful way to weaken, demoralize, and wreck the Canadian Forces (and American because they are doing the same thing). Nobody could come up with a better way to weaken and wreck the armed forces in the west.

While we're on the question of government funding and promoting religions, we should not forget the vast amount of money given to the Aga Khan Canada Foundation. " Just over the last nine years, the AKF has received over $472 million from Global Affairs Canada, the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), and Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada (2). For the period including this year, as the economy collapses around us, the AKF received over $31 million! And how much more has the Aga Khan received from Canadians that has not been reported since the Ismailis were resettled here by Pierre Trudeau in 1972 (100)?" "The sad reality is that most of this money will be used to enrich the lives of Ismailis over other people, build Mughal architecture around the world, promote Islam, fund lavish lifestyles and horse racing, and even support a fake god on Earth (3)(4)(5)(99)(101). In 1975, the Aga Khan declared himself to be “the living god” and “the spokesman for almighty Allah,” a concept endorsed by his followers and supporters (6)! But who exactly is this “god” and why is he treated like royalty? " The United Nations: Aga Khan's Throne (Part I: Money Laundering) - Civilian Intelligence Network The amount of taxpayer's money which the government contributed to in effect support Islam in the world is stunning. Now we need to constantly be examining what government is doing with our money as they have proven to be completely irresponsible. We should also be examining exactly what it is the government is doing as it bring aboriginal culture into the public school system in BC (and other provinces). I believe this has been mandated by the BC NDP government.

Many aboriginals did at one time attribute a spiritual identity or power to birds such as eagles and animals. Many people still do. This may include Hinduism and Buddhism. There are many people who are not particular followers of any religion, but who seem to be followers of mother earth and elevate the environment to almost god status and consider man as just another animal. "Animism (from Latin: anima, 'breath, spirit, life') is the belief that objects, places, and creatures all possess a distinct spiritual essence. Potentially, animism perceives all things—animals, plants, rocks, rivers, weather systems, human handiwork, and perhaps even words—as animated and alive. Animism is used in the anthropology of religion as a term for the belief system of many indigenous peoples, especially in contrast to the relatively more recent development of organised religions." Wikipedia This is much different that the European civilization which arrived in the last number of centuries and brought with them a Judeo-Christian civilization. The Bible teaches that God created man in his own image and gave man a special status on the earth which includes dominion over all creatures. This special position given to man is described in Psalm 8: " O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. 2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. {ordained: Heb. founded} 3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; 4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: 7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; {All…: Heb. Flocks and oxen all of them} 8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. 9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!" Psalm 8 KJB This of course is a completely different view of man and all creatures than what aboriginals held. They were not aware of the existence of the Holy Scriptures and what many believe to be God's revelation to man. This is why it was felt missionary work needed to be done to get the message out to the aboriginal people. If aboriginals were to continue worshiping creatures and not the true God of the Bible, this could present problems in many ways. The Bible does not teach or condone the idea of stealing someone else's land. But in a country the size of Canada, it is easy to see how settlers would find much unoccupied land over such vast areas as Canada is. Thus the government after Confederation and in the early 20th century was able to grant farmland to immigrants at very low cost or for nothing. Aboriginals were generally not a farming race. They were more hunter-gatherers.

No, we always hear talk about the native culture on CBC, CTV, as if it is something to be promoted but never hear exactly what it is. I am not saying to censor them. What people want to believe or do on their own is part of freedom of religion. It is the woke folks on CBC that seem to promote something undefined in some ways and condemn white society for depriving natives of their culture. I am wondering what this native culture that is never defined exactly is that is being mentioned. For example, there was a court case in B.C. not long ago over the public school allowing an aboriginal to conduct a smudging ceremony in a classroom. The mother of a student said that her child was being forced to participate in a pagan religious ceremony which is contrary to her families beliefs as a Christian. There was a lot of discussion or debate about this with the public school and government taking the position in court that it was not a religious ceremony and therefore was not improper in the classroom. The judge ruled in favour of the school and department of education and rejected the argument of the parent. The government seemed in this case to be forcing a pagan religious ceremony down the students throat (literally with the smoke) while claiming this is just teaching aboriginal culture to students.

Now that we live in the days of reconciliation and have had the Truth and Reconciliation Commision (TRC) complete it's report, we are told culture is one the things that was denied aboriginals by the white man. What exactly is native culture and should it now be promoted? A simple search on the internet of native or aboriginal culture will reveal some surprising things that most people might not be aware of. Some might say American native culture is not the same as Canadian native culture prior to colonization. But we should remember prior to colonization, there was no border, no U.S.A. and no Canada. It was simply North America. There were various tribes throughout north America which of course had different practices and some similar practices and beliefs between them. I believe Shamins or medicine men were a fairly common feature. Worship of animals, birds, etc. was another common feature. A belief in spirits and of course methods to cleanse of evil spirits by medicine men. This deserves further investigation and to what extent this would be associated with aboriginal culture today. This article seems to indicate these beliefs still exist and are practiced in American tribes. It is worth noting one of the purposes of the Indian residential schools was to move native children away from these beliefs and practices. Are we now living in a time when natives will be encouraged to return to these belief systems? Native American Culture - What is Culture? Culture is a term that has many different inter-related meanings that characterizes a group of people in terms of their beliefs, practices and behavior. These patterns of behaviour and beliefs are practised across social units in a population and endure across generations of Native American tribes.

The Canadian military, American military, public school systems in both countries are being brainwashed by the Marxist woke politicians and their special interest groups such as red power activists, BLM activists, etc., etc. They are weakening our military and other institutions. Their ultimate goal is wreck our country and try to build a woke Marxist utopia. Christians need to wake up, read their Bibles, and stand up for their country. Just reported on the CBC news: Two Catholic churches have been burned down in the south Okanogan. The woke antifa at work. Inspired by the hysteria over the unmarked burial site at Kamloops no doubt and the media hype surrounding it.

Other cities like Victoria, BC, Penticton, St. John's NFLD are caving in to the progressive left woke crowd and dumping on Canada. It is shameful to see people not respect Canada and our heritage. This kind of thing is being promoted by the woke CBC on the taxpayer's money. No country is perfect and no country has a perfect history, but it is insane and dangerous to disparage, and run a country down like these people are doing. There are many great things about Canada which they are ignorant of and ignore. The European founding people also brought a relatively civilized society to north America which did not exist here before. We won't go into all the barbaric things that were going on before white man arrived because it is not politically correct to mention them. The culture of aboriginal people was not something that they would want to embrace either if they knew what it meant to it's full extent. It's fine to have a dance and feel proud life in general today but let's not pretend everything was civilized before white man arrived. Shameful! They are not doing Canada a favour.
