Trees


You have a family tree. You are also part of a racial tree, and a member of the human family tree. Animals belong to the animal tree, and that tree has many branches.


The Bible speaks twenty two times of trees. These are symbolic trees, as are your family, racial, and human trees.


One tree in the Garden, the tree of the knowledge of good and bad. Genesis 2:17...was this a real tree, or a symbolic tree?

Four questions that are members of the same issue;


1) Was the tree in the Garden a real tree, or a symbolic tree?

2) Why did Satan and one third of the angels rebel when Adam was created?

3) Why did Satan want Eve to disobey God?

4) Why did Satan use the tree in Genesis to get Eve to disobey God?


Seeds.


The Bible speaks of ten seeds. Some are symbolic, and some are not.


1) Humans have seed to reproduce.

2) Animals have seeds to Reproduce

30 Plants, fish, and flying creatures also have seed.


Living things that do not have seed, and cannot reproduce.


1) Angels.


Rebellion


1) Why did the angels rebel?

2) What was the act of rebellion.

3) What did God do about the rebellion?

The human family tree is part of the animal family tree :) We are a small section of the primate branch of the mammal kingdom

The Bible makes a clear distention between animal, and human. Man is known as a living soul, whereas animals are referred to as animals.
God gave man domain over all the animals. After the flood God gave man all the animals to eat.

That still doesnt really or at least successfully argue against scientific classification. Regardless of whether one believes in creation or evolution its proven fact we share 98.5 of our DNA sequences with primates specifically chimpanzees.

I do marvel at this :

Mark 8


And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. 23And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. 24And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. 25After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly. 26And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.

I agree with your statment. Science backs what I will soon post on the thread, "Who Killed Jesus." Bible proof of why mans DNA is such.

Again with your false teachings Domenic you never give any proof of anything you talk about. You are unskilled and untrained!!! Where is your scripture oh thats right you have NONE. Nice avatar one eye are you trying to tell all of us something you have a special light or some thing perhaps a little pyramid on your desk or maybe a square and compass. and how about you answer the countless questions people ask on your other threads. I am still wondering was it AK 47 or M-16s before the flood or maybe ray guns your a teacher indeed Domenic teacher of what that should be your next thread.

The Bible was written at least a thousand years before modern science even got started!! How can the Bible explain DNA sequencing? LEAVE the Bible for issues of faith and spirituality, it CAN NOT explain the intricacies of human evolution! Or if you don't believe in evolution, cellular biology! There is no verse in the Bible that says 'This is how a cell divides'

You claim to be a Christian. Have I said something, done anything to harm you? What is behind your attacks from thread to thread, and the pm? Do you believe yourself Gods judge? You sound like those who took Jesus to trial. If you have a problem with me for any reason, please, take it up with the owner of this forum.

That's a theory, and not true.

Being a scientific theory doesn't make something only a hypothesis or speculation. In science, models of reality are still called theories even after they have been utterly confirmed. E.g. Heliocentric theory, that the Earth orbits the sun, is a theory. So is gravitational theory. Like evolutionary theory, both have been confirmed by vast amounts of evidence and successful predictions, but that doesn't make them be promoted from theories into facts, that's not how it works.
Theories are frameworks of understanding that explain facts, not speculations that haven't been confirmed yet.
(In science. There's a colloquial usage of the word theory which means speculation which is how you used it, but that's not what it means to be a scientific theory)

You know I read something somewhere (I forget) anyway, I think it was Cedar trees, they grown in circles so they can combine their roots and grow taller. I thought it was a lovely metaphor of what church should be like (my church is like that). :)
