wow, all this discussion is getting very interesting! I'd like to make another contribution with a few more lines.
About the desoxirribe nucleic acid, their main task is to sintetize Proteins, which are long chains of aminoacid, made of raw molecules which could be found very easily in the primordial soup that formed the oceans of Earth.
These raw elements (Amonia, carbon, hidrogen, and so on), under specific atmosphere conditions(high pressure, lightning bolts, etc), can be combined into aminoacids, which are organics molecules. Scientists attempted to reproduce this phenomenon in a controled experiment and actually succedded in producing aminoacid from raw elements only, proving that it was possible to happen in the past.
When one of those aminoacid chains reached an specific configuration that allowed it to create a molecule capable of make another exact copie of it, the whole process of evolving organic creatures started on Earth(well, acording to biologic theories).
Pink, you said:
"Jesus and God are God, and they both are one"
And you also said:
"God is not bias. He didn't say in the bible that christians can't wear gold and stuff"
According to what you said, I can conclude that being Jesus also God, what he said is actually what God said.
But Jesus told to his 12 friends that, in order to follow him, they had to give all they owned to the poor people, and always divide the bread with others.
So, I see a logical contradition in your arguments, here. I thought that when you say that you beleive in the Bible, It means the whole Bible, from the first to the last page. By the way, do you use an English Bible? do you know that the original Bible was written in aramaic, hebraic and Greek? Do you know who translated the Bible you use and you say you beleive. Are you sure, all the words in there are exactly the same ones used thousands years ago, with the same meanings?
Just a little example the Greek word for ghost is Daemon, which means a non-living creature, not good neither evil, but all the translations from the greek created this word: Demon and gave it an evil meaning, mostly in the middle age in Europe, by the catholic church. So, when you read demon, it doesn't mean exactly evil. ther are good "demons", or ghosts, like Moses and Isaias, that appeared to Jesus and his 12 friends.
I'm not trying to be bold and offensive, not at all. But saying that you beleifs are actually the true, and others beleifs aren't, is not a humble attitude, for a Christian.
Sorry to be addressing all this arguemnts toward you, Pinky. don't take it personally. I'm sure you are a great person. It's just that you seem to be the most closed-minded person in this discussion, without trying to comprehend or even tolerate others opinions. Be the way, comprehension and tolerance are beautiful christian attitudes.
One more thing I'd like to know, Pink. In your humble opinion, as a Christian you say you are, what should a person do, and behave, and beleive, to be considered a Christian? If you could give a detailed explanation, I'd appreciate that.
