[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remain religious,, meaning, my faith in God continues, because my eyes have been opened by the Holy Spirit. It is similar in Acts 9 when Paul describes his sight returning, “There fell from his eyes as it had been scales…”

It is plain to see (now) that God exists: the countless interconnected mechanisms that is impossible to have occurred without intelligent direction. I see the reproduction systems of ducks, orchids, and mammals, all of which require structures to be in place at the same time to function. You cannot evolve a human without lungs, veins, blood, and a heart: all of these  [i]must[/i] be present at birth or it dies, never reproducing.

The believer in the fable of evolution claims we evolved from lower primates and primitive organisms because there are genetic similarities.

It is true there are genetic similarities such as veins in leaves, insect wings, and humans. This does not indicate, and certainly does not prove common descent but common design. Veins, like highways, are efficient means for transport, so God uses the same blueprint in various organisms.

As for “junk DNA”, God does not produce junk, does not create useless things. Everything is created with a purpose. Junk DNA is simply DNA that was either not activated or, like after a second set of teeth, the DNA is switched off, not producing a third set of teeth.

I get frustrated when people cannot see the truth but I am reminded I used to be blind and did not see until I repented of my sins, believed in Jesus the son of God, and was baptized —full immersion under water, in the name of Jesus Christ.

There is an active agent in this world named Satan who works ceaselessly to keep people blind. False religions that deny Jesus is the son of God is the main method because children who grow up in such religions often do not question it out of fear of being murdered or isolated from family.

[i]In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.[/i] —2 Corinthians 4:4

Satan is often assisted by a person’s sins which keeps a person out of fellowship with God and drags that person down a path of continued disbelief and disobedience until Satan runs out the clock and the person dies in his sins.

[i]I [Jesus] said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.[/i] —John 8:24

You my friend are a perfect example to disprove that God doesn't create junk  :roll: [/quote]
