"people get all kinds of diseases ect. " Thanks for coming back for another stab at this question, ggcage. I see you're no closer to answering why genetic disorders can be both beneficial and malignant.
By: ggcage. on 21 Nov 08, 00:17:37
Usually a disorder is not beneficial. In fact a disorder is pretty much bad by definition. One of the Earthly consequences of sin is chaos. We live in a world that is filled with disorder. Things detiorate, storms happen, accidents happen, people get all kinds of diseases ect. We've been partially seperated from God and the result is chaos, but not pure chaos.

Caspari & Lee 'Older age becomes common late in human evolution' (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA, 2004, p. 10895-10900) Etc. etc. Now cite three papers that show paleolithic humans lived longer than us.

=DNA passing on to next generation does not help anything.= Of course it does! It ensures the survival of the next generation. Where would you be if you didnt have your parents DNA??
By: GenXFuturist101. on 20 Nov 08, 04:46:50
I would also just chime in that the genetic results of an individual may be rather horrific to us (any of us) and in such cases at the very least I would hope we learn compassion. Often times only the strong can carry such deviations from intended norm & it is for all the rest of us to grow stronger in our faith and sense of appreciation of our own fortunes even if they are disguised as a lack of misfortune which we do not share with a less foturnate individual. :)

What is funny about this is the spinnery. I believe this to have been produced by an understudy of News-Spinnery 101 "the movie". XD.... What is not properly spun here is teh elegance of DNA where it in FACT reflects the consciousness of the en-souled person. We (I perhaps and anybody for that matter) may have been born with genetic "shortcomings" or challenges or raw de-facto PROBLEMS but that we could infer that God has any explaining to do is at best an entertaining supposition if not folly

"Your DNA is the result of an uninterrupted chain of survivors stretching back to the first self-replicating molecule; it has avoided death for nearly 4 billion years." Of course, that's a bit of an overstatement, because your ancestry traces back to BEFORE the evolution of DNA itself.
By: gpak1234. on 19 Nov 08, 22:16:42
potholer54. DNA passing on to next generation does not help anything, one has to die. Give me your archeological reference to confirm that life span has increased with time.
By: potholer54. on 19 Nov 08, 20:37:53
=why couldnt the DNA mutate to avoid death?= DNA does avoid death. It is passed on to the next generation. =why today life span is shorter compared to the the primitive races?= Its not. Check out the archaeological evidence. =Evaloution should have helped prolong it!= What makes you think that? What evolutionary advantage is there to living longer?
By: ReductioAdAbsurdum. on 19 Nov 08, 20:27:21
"why couldnt the DNA mutate to avoid death?" IT DOES! You are confusing DNA with the organism it expresses. DNA avoids death when the organism reproduces. It's a disadvantage for DNA if the organism lives too long after reproductive age. Longer lifespan = slower evolution = slower adaptation to change = reduced survival for DNA. Your DNA is the result of an uninterrupted chain of survivors stretching back to the first self-replicating molecule; it has avoided death for nearly 4 billion years.
By: gpak1234. on 19 Nov 08, 12:50:27
EVALOUTION? billions of mutations-why couldnt the DNA mutate to avoid death? which we all have to go through. why today life span is shorter compared to the the primitive races? coz of mutations? emmm NOT REALLY evaloution should have helped prolong it! MAN was created with the death stamp on his DNA before life, remember every on has to be judged-unfortunate ppl dont believe. imgine telling an uborn baby the stoies of this world-will never believe untill he himself sees it, same are we.

"Blackhawknz1 wrote 3 weeks ago, in response to my comments:" Well if you're going to wait three weeks before responding, please cite who or what you're responding to. I'm not sure what the archaeological evidence for Biblical cities has to do with genetic disorders.
By: middlekk. on 18 Nov 08, 15:18:10
The bible has basis in reality in the exact same way as The Odyssey does. We don't believe Achilles actually lived, do we? Yet we have archeologic evidence that Troy existed AND that a great war was fought there. It's historical fiction. Just like the bible. Myths and fairy stories wrapped around the rulers of the day designed to keep the goatherders from molesting the livestock on Friday night.
By: marsCubed. on 18 Nov 08, 15:08:03
Science cannot disprove all concepts of God, It can however disprove some, such as a God who's head was the world, this could be disproved easily. Also the God in the bible who describes the basis for his reality in many ways. Archaeology finds the story in the bible to be false, so either god is a liar or a fake. Either way he is falsified by evidence. Biblical history is the revision, the ranting of con men who got converts with lies and threats.
By: marsCubed. on 18 Nov 08, 14:59:04
The suggestion that biblical archaeology is fake is absurd. Professor Filkenstein and others, of Tel Aviv university, have summed up the result of many decades of work in 'The Bible Unearthed'. Despite having pressure applied to them to validate Israeli basis for land. Another history is discovered. that of Polytheistic Canaan. The bible is the revision and a fake. This is not a hypothesis, this is verifiable with material finds and complete absence of predicted finds which the bible makes.
By: middlekk. on 18 Nov 08, 14:34:41
And let me be clearer...the "evidence" for Jesus is only found in the bible. The evidence for no-Jesus is found in the holy books of every other religion that does not recognize him as deity. Add to that the billion or so people who don't believe in any of the "holy" books, except as historical remnants of a violent, superstitious past, and you're left with nothing but smoke.
By: middlekk. on 18 Nov 08, 14:31:02
Well, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Jehovah's Witnesses, and a whole host of other religions and nonreligions would disagree with your assertion that god became human and was resurrected. The only evidence you have for that assertion is the same evidence all of those other religions have for their position that such a thing never happened. If you don't see why that's a 'problem', then you're not being very rational.
By: desertTRUTH. on 18 Nov 08, 12:05:12
Before going on with this post- must point out this IS actually a response to former responses to my previous comments here on this forum - not spam ok. It's a discussion from 3 weeks ago Ok middlekk, God revealed himself historically most clearly by becoming human and then resurrecting from the dead - eye-witnessed and documented with independently, contemporaneously written texts Plus interaction with lots of human-beings and nations which are also documented before his coming in human flesh
By: desertTRUTH. on 18 Nov 08, 11:35:27
Yes check out a bible to find the truth Biblical history's well-founded but your wild revisionist-history is hard to take seriously If you're committed to contradicting history, you'd be better served to not throw common-sense completely out the window You know...start with SOME truth and known history..at least Furthermore archaeology, cosmology, physics, and biology CANNOT say the biblical God is fake - this would be to say the 4 sciences contain omniscient knowledge - which isn't possible
By: desertTRUTH. on 18 Nov 08, 11:32:53
potholer54, I'm not sure what you mean about spamming? I responded to this response to one of my previous comments: Blackhawknz1 wrote 3 weeks ago, in response to my comments: ' You are blindly following a book of old fables and fairy tales that have no basis in reality. ' It's true he/she didn't write specifically the 'Bible' has no basis in reality -- but I'm pretty sure he/she was referring to the Bible as the 'book of old fables and fairy tales'. It's a previous discussion on this forum
By: potholer54. on 18 Nov 08, 09:26:05
DesertTRUTH, please see my channel description for rules about spamming. No one has suggested, on the video or in this forum, that the Bible has no basis in reality. I can only assume that either you have posted this on the wrong forum or you are trolling atheist channels. I hope you will join in the discussion but please dont mindlessly spam.
By: desertTRUTH. on 18 Nov 08, 07:39:00
The bible has no basis in reality? Are you saying ancient Jerusalem didn't exist, governed by Roman governors? King Herod isn't a historical figure? Augustus Caesar is fictional? How about ancient Hebrew tradition - it's all fairy-tale that the modern Jews must be deluded into trusting? All this Abraham and Moses stuff is one, big hoax? Interesting. The bible has no basis in reality whatsoever huh?
By: potholer54. on 18 Nov 08, 04:21:21
"No,you should get it fixed," But you told me =God wants to see who gets enticed by Satan by not changing bad things.= So you were suggesting that we shouldn't get these bad things fixed. Now you're saying it's OK. Which is it?
