God and DNA

Could God have designed DNA? In animation and pictures I show how God has a lot of explaining to do. WARNING: this video contains graphic images of genetic disorders.

Basically, you are asking how can God and evil coexist, and it has been explained over and over again by christian apologetics. It is interesting that in the video you are only talking about DNA replication, but how did DNA form itself, where did the information in the genes come from, how can something that complicated come into being by accident, coincidence? That is the real question. I cant see how evolution fits in that. You asking God the 'why' question is like a fly asking about physics.

@sototajeri =how did DNA form itself= Please see my video The Origin of Life Made Easy.

thumbs up if Robert van Oz brought you here with the 'Water Lilies' blog post!

@ian9toes Evolution does not go in reverse, no matter what idiotic misconceptions you managed to hammer in your head. An observable and repeatable fact doesn't count as belief. Yes, neutral mutations happen a lot; on average 128 between human generations, and another 30 during one's lifespan. These mutations can be catalogued, and SUPPORT evolution, by matching perfectly, in all instances, with the tree of life which is a product of evolution.

@StrikaAmaru John Sanford has already demonstrated that the only evolution going on is in reverse. I know that goes against your faith, so try and have an open mind to common sense. Every educated person knows that beneficial mutations are extremely rare, and that detrimental and near neutral ones are in abundance. N/S can take care of the detrimental ones, but the near neutral ones happen to ALL, so N/S does nothing but allow them to accumulate. Game over, evo never happened.

@ian9toes I guess you missed that part where a mutation keeps you alive from malaria.

Re: "complexity" - if a mutation duplicates a gene, a sequence of genes, or even a whole chromosome, does that not count as an increase in complexity and "information"? I put "information" in quotes, because it's strictly an IDer term, no geneticist would use it except in the loosest sense, or when talking to a dumb blonde reporter.. They deal with genes and alleles, not "information".

So we can live with him in his future kingdom.

* correction: What happens to those who DON'T pass the test?

[britcom1]

By this method of spiritual Darwinism we as a species will be purified and improved and ultimately saved and live again in the resurrection. Sound harsh? It is, but it is what is necessary to defeat humanity's desire for evil and violence. We are being domesticated by the circumstances that God set up for us.

[britcom1]

The temporal flesh is weak and dies, but the spiritual being within that temporal body is what God is after. This he will use to create a better us. But we must pass the spiritual test first to go on to the next level of life. (not a heavenly life, that's another false theological notion, but a future Earthly life in a new perfected body). What happens to those who pass the test? They are separated and destroyed like chaff is burned but the wheat is saved.

[britcom1]

There is also the fallacy of blaming God for deformity like he's not doing his job or some such idea. This life is a temporal existence, we live and then we die. If God were the God most people expect him to be, surely he wouldn't allow death or suffering to exist. But that is human rationalization of what God is. The reason for death and suffering in this world is because we are the mechanism to improve life (or to corrupt it) ...

And that He (God/the creator) TOLD us about what he did in the ancient past and we stored that knowledge in the bible using the limited verbal concepts available in that day to describe a highly advanced system of technology used by an ancient and highly advanced being (God), then you begin to realize that what is described in the bible and what science describes don't conflict, they correlate. It is man's penchant for overly mythologizing and ultra-deifying God's nature that creates conflict.

[britcom1]

The bible clearly teaches us that we are flawed creatures of flesh and only God himself has the state of perfection. DNA and its errors is a necessary evil because life must have it to work in this temporal state of physics. When one understands that God is real being who exists out there in space (what the ancients called "heaven") and realises that that being not only seeded life on this planet, but also genetically modified that life to produce more intelligent creatures called humans, ...
