You just want me to ask don't you!

Bhean an ti ilarr mho chupan tae!!... means??? And is this just common knowledge stuff learned by all over in Ireland, or is this stuff you have a class for in school?

I'd like to know how you know that evolution is a tool that God uses. If I even thought for a split second the Bible hinted to it, I would consider it, but I have yet to see one semi-colon that would suggest it. Maybe He did... maybe I'm wrong (But we know I'm not... I jest!) but I plain do not see it.

Okay, God does not make us do things because then that would be depriving us of free will which. He wants us to follow Him freely, not because we are programmed to do so. Why does he allow babies to die and evil to reign in the world? Because the time has not yet come for Him to end it. Again, this is man's free will. He is grieved deeply by the sinful things man does, but He will not stop us until Armegedon. The spelling of which I just slaughtered I think. But this has nothing to do with why God may not have used Evolution.

He could have explained DNA mutations to Moses with more accuracy and better understanding than we have of it. We know nothing of these things. We think we know, but we do not. Moses had seen, undoubtedly, tadpoles turn into frogs, and caterpillars into butterflies. Where as this is not evolution but metamorphasis, Moses could have understood this. He was no more ignorant than we are.

And still, my question remains unanswered... if each creature that was used to lead to another creature was killed off, why are monkeys still around? If we evolved from monkeys, should they not be gone?

No where in my Bible does it say that the creatures evolved, breaking away from their own kind.

Genesis 1:21 "And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. 23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good."

See, they all brought forth after his own kind. Not one breath of "and some of the fowl of the air had feet as a dog, and that creature then shed the wings and grew short arms, and then that creature had children that shed the beak and turned into a terrible lizard four and a half cubits tall."

And even if Moses didn't understand it, if he had been told by God to write "and the bird turned into a dinosaur and that later featured in three movies by Universal Studios" I have a hunch Moses would have written that, even if he did not understand it. I dont' think John understood all he saw in Revelation, or at least, he could describe it all very well, but he wrote just what God told him to write. When Ezekiel saw the wheel, did he know what it meant? Who knows! Does it matter? Not really. The point is, he wrote down what God told him to, even if he didn't understand it. If God had used Evolution, I assure you, he wouldn't have spared Moses from writing it down because Moses wouldn't have understood it.

And I beg to differ with the Alegebra and an ancient middle-easterner. I don't get algebra and I am living in the post Newton world. Believe me, Moses would have gotten Algebra faster than me. And the stick. I still don't get it and I'm going to college in the fall. My algebra stops at 2x+3=15. If I'm having a good day and my calculator is handy I could figure out 2x+3=21-x... or something kinda like that...

Math is NOT my thing. Writing is. You can stop laughing now! :o) I know my grammer here is horrendous and my spelling is miserable, but I'm usually writing fast and late at night, with out proof reading at all.

And tonight it is especially bad because I was spraying trees to kill bugs, and well... No bug will come with in three feet of me. That stuff got all over me, and I'm just really hoping I didn't breathe in too much or accidentally swallow any of it (some got on my lips and probaby in my mouth). And tomorrow I got to go do it again, but this time I'm spraying grass not trees. But don't worry... if I become seriously ill or die, I'll be sure to have someone tell you so all aren't wondering, "whatever happened to Farlas? She just disappeared one day."

I joke... sorta.

And just to make you wonder for once what the Valars I'm saying...
