[quote=Anonymous][quote]1. What the nature of G-d is, is a mystery. G-d is radically other. To say G-d does or does not learn is to presume to know more about G-d than man can.[/quote]

BBC1
G-d, who is omnipotent, knows everything already so there is nothing for him to learn. This is not presumption, it is acknowledging a fact because that is the definition of G-d: all knowing, all seeing, all powerful.

Psalm 94:8 (somewhat paraphrased)
[i]You fools, when will you become wise?
He that made the ear, does he not hear? he that formed the eye, does he not see all things?
He that teaches man knowledge, does he not know everything?
The Lord knows the vain thoughts of man (he can read every mind, billions or even trillions of them, all at the same time effortlessly)[/i]

G-d formed they eye and connected the optic nerve to the brain, along with the nervous system to carry the signals to various parts of the body. The eye did not evolve from some light-sensitive blob of cells, despite a consensus from scientists who insist that it probably did.  The bible, when it declares things such as the order of creation, completely outclasses and supersedes anything said by any human or group of humans working under the umbrella of science, or any other branch of knowledge.

[quote]2. When I said following G-d, I did not mean imitating G-d. I meant doing what G-d wishes us to do. Following his will. I believe his will is for us to learn about the will.[/quote]
 
Your search is over.  No more do yout need to go on a goose chase or Easter egg hunt to learn God’s will, it has already been declared:
 
John 6:35
[i]Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to me shall not hunger, and he who believes in me shall never thirst…   
For [u]this is the will of my Father[/u], that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”[/i]

I fully believe Jesus is telling the truth so I have believed and become a Christian which is God’s will. Signing a paper becoming a member of a denomination, being baptized as a baby, acknowledging some saint or prophet, or giving faithless  intellectual assent or lip service, none of these make you a Christian.  It is believing in Jesus, believing 100% having total faith that Jesus is who he said he was, that he “takes away the sins of the world”. That is what makes you a Christian who should enter the kingdom of heaven.

[quote]3. I would suggest your belief in vaccines, contrasted with your belief that Darwin was a dwarf, suggests a lack of familiarity with the nature of scientific understanding of bacteria, viruses, the immune system etc. The theory of evolution is at the heart of scientific biology and medecine, and Darwin as to his science (I do not speak of his theology) was a giant indeed.  [/quote]

I understand clearly that living things can evolve and adapt to an environment. This evolution is observed science which is as indisputable as photosynthesis.  What is not science is the proposition that man evolved from an ape-like ancestor. This “Evolution” is swept under a rug called science to appear as science. It is an hypothesis proposed by Darwin, a person who I am convinced was an opium addict (how else could a mind so addled come up with such nonsense?).  “Common Descent” is not science, it is conjecture and speculation not supported by evidence.  Peer-reviewed opinions interpreting old bones and comparing bits and pieces of the genome (humans share 60% of the same DNA as lemons) is not evidence. Furthermore, “Common Descent” contradicts the bible, therefore it is false.  Unbelievers seized upon Darwin to rationalize away the clear evidence that humans were designed and created. They do this  so as to embrace a fairy tale that it is was  a series of fortuitous accidents and mutations over millions of years that resulted in the existence of humans.  
 
How Useful Is Evolutionary Theory?

But if you want to believe in "Common Descent over millions of years", be my guest.  It is not critical to salvation concerning how life began on the planet, but someone who rejects the book of Genesis, you have to wonder what else that person will reject. [/quote]
