If you can't understand this fairly simple concept then how can you understand other topics in the Bible? Truly, truly I tell you we can't even begun to scratch the surface.

What I put isn't all that hard to understand, I even included an example for you. It's not my problem if you have trouble with comprehension.

'shes supposed to be the best example.
"would the 'theory be different?" naw it would just be a theory with one less fraud
evolution (macro) is unique among the institution of science. never has there ever been so much fraud and embarrassment over any other theory. why do you think that is? one would think with all the fraud and chit science that goes with the belief of macro evolution that it would challenge their faith. but they waver not

it shouldnt be hard to find lucys feet (Australopithecus afarensis)
(not literally find them :)

You wrote "Gods free will is achieved through our free will".

No go on and make sense of it. I am ready.

God's Will is achieved through our free will. You see this when Joseph is sold as a slave to Egypt by his own brothers.

No, I said God's Will. Here is the quote again.



Here is the example I gave. It's up to you to read the story in its entirety.

Genesis 50:18-21

18 His brothers then came and threw themselves down before him. “We are your slaves,” they said.

19 But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? 20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. 21 So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them.

If anyone tries to thwart God's Will, He instead will bring about that Will through that very action of people trying to thwart his Will.

You want another example? The fact that ^addone created that one other thread, by doing say he has only helped spread the Word even further. Had he not done that, I'd have never done the Ecclesiastes series or the current Thessalonians series. If addone had not done that I wouldn't have done the 40 day lent and tagging him in every single post, every single day.

The very action of trying to suppress The Word will always bring about the exact opposite effect.

Looked into the Lucy case. Couldnt find any fraud. Its parts of a skeleton.
47 out of 207 bones (in 88 segments) were found. Thats it. You confuse research with fraud. Not the first time that happened.

the question was about her feet. how did she end up with human feet?

lucy/Australopithecus afarensis
a fossil with out a face, hands or feet.
about a thousand miles away in the same layer is a track of human footprints (Laetoli footprints) and since we just know humans were not around then...
lol they just up and assigned those foot prints to the lucy fossil. lol just hard to believe how much bullchitery thats allowed to go on.

her hands? when she was first reconstructed she was also given human hands. later that was quietly changed to ape hands.

so there you have the story of lucy. hip bone all jacked up, just whip out a power saw and reconstruct it into a human hip.
feet missing, just write in what ever gets a good story. thats science folks

Let me ask you a question:

If I would know the lottery numbers for next sunday, would they still roll the way they roll by chance or was it predetermined? I am not talking about guessing them right, someone guesses them right all the time. I mean knowing.

My point is: There is only one reason for knowing the future. Its already determined.

If god exists, then absolutely everything for the eternity of time is determinsitic and already decided beyond doubt.
He is allmighty and omnipotent. He is timeless. Everything that will happen, happened already for a timeless being. It happened simultanously to everything else, happens right now, happens always. There is nothing that WILL happen for a timeless being. Do you understand what it means to claim such a being would exist? He KNOWS everything. There is NOTHING you can still decide. Its all settled. Established. Done since forever. There was never a point at which it wasnt done.
