The art of being human.What does it mean to be human?The art of being human.
Sleep with one eye open child, the worst is yet to come. You have no more hope to hide, It's time to fight or run.
The night air is stained by lights both red and blue and the phantoms are out tonight. The daggers are calling and waiting for you. Your blessing became a blight.
White coats and checklists, you are but a number now. Knuckles of blood and guilt ridden fists, you are but an animal now.
The dead are awake and the living sleep, dreaming a violent dream. The dead are the wise with wisdom

Nightmare NecromanticStanding clear of violent fears. To lose what's left, becoming death.Nightmare Necromantic
Of happy days and skies of gray. Of guide forlorn and life unborn.
Lies of rise necromantic, chaos fear and panic. Of fallen men to rise again.
Drained of mind to follow blind. Bloody hands, puppeteer's demands.
Chaos borne scarred and torn. Rotten flesh void of breath.
Screams of pain, screams in vain. In hope we cry that death may die.

| Well I'm from Cape Town, South Africa. I enjoy writing, playing guitar, listening to music and long walks on the beach. The latter was a lie. I enjoy good times with friends which is actually quite obvious considering people call it having a good time. I don't get why they call it a good time though seriously does the "time" you're having have some kind of moral standing? Just putting it out there. |

Yeah I suppose that's where natural selection comes in with a little help from God of course.
Yeah the chronological aspect I get. We don't even know exactly what a day meant to people from when the Bible was written nevermind how God, being omnipotent, percieves time.
Yeah I can see the points you're coming from, I understand how you justify it and I'm not going to lie I suppose it makes sense. However I believe, unless God shows me otherwise, I'm sticking to creationism. To me religion in faith over fact. Fact justifies but faith tests. Thank you for sharing man, it's very interesting.
Well I really don't know why it was certain monkeys who evolved to become human beings. As far as language goes I know it was the FOXP2 gene that humans evolved to use complex language like we do. I don't think there is any way of knowing why it was humans that evolved. At the time homo erectus and its descendents were the smartest and from there humans moved forward with the most well developed brain. Part of it is luck of a change in DNA sequence that worked out for the best and part of it, I think, is an interpretation of creating us in His image. I see evolution as one of His tools to advance life. In this case, advance once species that can reflect on its own existance and wonder why it lives.
Yeah time is iffy. I would say he lives outside of time and transcends it as time as we use it just for organizing a sequence of events. A funny part of a literal translation of Genesis I think is that 7 days doesn't make any sense if the sun wasn't created until the third XD can't really have days without suns especially if God doesn't follow the same time that we do. That's another point for interpreting the Bible metaphorically.
If you want to keep this going by all means I am enjoying this conversation I hope I am clearing something up for you

Haha I was referring to how they developed a higher form of intelligence, using tools, burying the dead, language, manipulating fire etc. You won't see an untrained chimp doing these things in nature so why did these specific monkeys later evolve to have higher intelligence and also why are they the only animals who evolved to develop these traits. In any environment, being more intelligent would be a definite boost to their odds for survival. I don't literally mean monkeys per se but I'm referring to how some species evolved into early man and all the perks that came along and why didn't other animals at least develop greater intelligence.
Yes we've had a lot of class discussions on this in Biology, I'm fascinated by the various opinions but this is definitely the preferred opinion of most. This does make sense seeing as God is omnipotent and eternal it's hard to define what time really is to Him, in fact I doubt we will ever understand as He is mysterious.
What you should know is that with that skeletal structure and DNA similarities comes the concrete evidence for evolution. And yes it is a theory. But so is gravity.
Uh did monkeys we evolved from evolved from develop higher cognitive functions. I would really like to know where you get this info from XD
Mostly what I think applies metaphorically is that the Earth was created and developed over billions of years. Honestly, would it make sense that we and God have the same time scale (on the first, second, third day blah blah blah)? I don't think so.
