To some degree. I would look at the main claims of the book and then if I thought relevant would read and see if they were solidly backed up.

No it does not. There are three different types of tetrapod wing: pterosaur wings (skin and one finger), bird wings (feathers and two fused fingers) and bat wings (skin and five fingers).

Nature often produces different solutions to the same problem.

You honestly think it took 6 days for an all powerful God to create the universe and then he took a rest?

Wow it must have been a real effort on God’s part.

Oh, I get it … because God supposedly got tired after all his creating, this proves that the “six days” story is not literal. The trouble with this argument is, nowhere in the Scripture does it say God became tired from all his creating was forced to take a rest. It merely says God ceased his creation after six days - because it was complete (which by the way, contradicts evolution, which implies creation is a never-ending process).

Not saying that he didn’t do that, but we know he would have to transform the clay into everything else a human body is made of.

That would entail a miracle - you know, like transforming bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ or something. Do you know of any God who can perform such miracles?

If so, what happened to that race of soul-less humans that Adam was taken from? Are we to believe that they happily survived for hundreds of thousands of years and then suddenly vanished from the face of the earth?

I don’t see evolution as a threat so i am unlikely to be swayed, unless of course you have real evidence of an alternative physical theory. I’m all ears.

Why do you need a physical theory? You have a God who is omnipotent and can perform miracles and therefore not bound by the laws of nature - so you can accept evolution as a series of little miracles performed and guided by God Almighty. Why rely on puny, limited human intelligence to come up with some explanation for how God pulled it off?

On Dawkins and the selfish gene - “He is totally confused.” “He has misused a metaphor” “He [Dawkins] is philosophically naive and I am afraid he has misled many people for a very considerable period of time.”

Oh dear!

I wonder how many of Dawkins fans are aware that in an interview with Ben Stein, Dawkins seriously suggested that life on earth could have been seeded by aliens. The respect for scientific rigour displayed by Darwinists is admirable.

They were not humans. Some of them vanished, being out-competed by humans. Some of them may have evolved into modern animals.

How would you look at the main claims of the book without buying it? I’ll tell you what. If you buy me a copy of the book you recommended, I promise to read it cover to cover. Deal?
 
Stein edited the scene tendentiously, but even through his editing it is clear that Dawkins is saying that even if life on Earth had been designed by a superior civilisation elsewhere, and had then come to Earth from that somewhere else, there would still need to be an explanation for how the life somewhere else evolved. Dawkins was obviously naive not to realise that Stein would mispresent his views, and that these misrepresented views would then be picked up and magnified by the ID lie machine.

I - nor anyone else - knows to what extent God guides his creation; we can only guess. But if evolution is true, then I believe God guided it. That’s what creators do - they create. Someone who creates wealth, for example, doesn’t do it by sitting back and wait for his lottery numbers to come up.
