Evolution does not disprove the bible or God but only someones theological interpretation. On the idea of whether there is a God or not, good science yet remains neutral. Since God is tracing genes in the bible, doesn't that mean that God new about evolution before science? Does Genesis 30:39 where Jacob is dealing with the flocks of sheep reveals that God had taught him something about genes and how they are passed from generation to generation?

The things spoken about in Genesis 1 that God did in an instant mentally/Spiritually is still unraveling in the progress of time and Genesis 2:1-3 from the point of view of the physical has not yet happened. Now Adam was the start of a new segment of time called the Adamic age (of which the bible deals with) within a much older segment of time that could be millions or billions of years old. Adam was something new introduced to this world. Time is actually insignificant to the God. Genesis 6 speaks about Adam's offspring (called the Sons of God) being mixed with the humanoid evolved creatures, that were here before Adam, through their daughters. Noah was mixture and so are we. Adam's offspring introduced language and objectivity to the purely subjective and emotional world of the animal. Adam is the missing link that science has yet to find because of his origin as an angelic genes that were placed in a physical body his bones dissolved after death and so did his descendants that were giant. Not all were physical giants though but some mental and spiritual giants. Adam's genes remain on this planet but only mentally and spiritually

"God said knowledge of creation would increase and therefore knowledge of Creator and so understandin scripture?"



Please show where you quote this from as this is not recorded in Scripture.



The text you show for proof shows that you have changed the original as it is quite clear that "creation" or "knowledge of Creator" nor "understandin of scripture" is not mentioned at all, simply that "knowledge will increase." Please be careful not to change Scripture and then pass it off as a direct quote from God.

"Most branches of modern science were founded by believers in creation"



maybe its because the great great majority of people were believers back then.





back to the topic



"Does Genesis 30:39 where Jacob is dealing with the flocks of sheep reveals that God had taught him something about genes and how they are passed from generation to generation?"



I dont think so. To prove that it came from some supernatural source you need to prove that those genetic principles would not be discoverable with the technology at the time. However, since some genetic principles can be discoevered by merely mating different animals and watching what their descendants look like, its not good evidence. Gregor mendel himself used no high tech equipment.

Most branches of modern science were founded by believers in creation. Evolution does not have such a list !!!



Physics - Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Kelvin, Joule

Chemistry - Boyle, Dalton, Ramsay

Biology - Ray, Linnaeus, Mendel, Pasteur, Virchow, Agassiz

Geology - Steno, Woodward, Brewster, Buckland, Cuvier

Astronomy - Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Herschel, Maunder

Mathematics Pascal, Leibnitz, Euler



Note that we are not claiming that they all agreed on every aspect of creation; rather, they refute the common evolutionary arguments that "no creationists can be real scientists" and that "denying evolution will return us to the Dark Ages."



Even today, many scientists reject particles-to-people evolution (i.e., everything made itself).



Dr Russell Humphreys, a nuclear physicist working with Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, has had over 20 articles published in physics journals, while Dr John Baumgardner's catastrophic plate tectonics theory was reported in Nature. Dr Edward Boudreaux of the University of New Orleans has published 26 articles and four books in physical chemistry. Dr Maciej Giertych, head of the Department of Genetics at the Institute of Dendrology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, has published 90 papers in scientific journals. Dr Raymond Damadian invented the lifesaving medical advance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).



Now you have no logical alternative but to accept that Jesus is God just like these scientists:



“I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God.” That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic-on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg-or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God; or else a madman or something worse.



You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. “

Col 2:9 (NIV)

Where did the additional stories come from. You referred to scripture (the Bible) but some of what you say is not in scripture (the Bible). It's not a good idea to pose an argument using scripture to back you up, forgetting that scripture (the Bible)says not to add to scripture (the Bible) . In other words your point is dead because you decided Gods words had to be added to in order for your point to make sense. Stick to what is Biblical...you can't be wrong

That's true and that's why decent Christians now understand that homophobia comes from Satan. I'd caution you to not add to Scripture as it's disobeying God's Word.
