Ok, in this modern world, when many of us rethink different religions, and some of what was written 'differently' all those years ago - 'I know' the Romans told us porkie pies, re 'how' Jesus passed from here all those years ago, as on the link I wrote on below in 2019, so 'how much' other stuff written is totally correct / or not.

And if correct - your opinions please on the years etc... Science tells us we evolved from Apes...

And I personally believe them...

According to Genesis 1:25 animals came before humans, but it depends which Genesis is believed, 1 or 2

Still this old horse? The science is clear about it.

Humans as a species coming from two people doesn’t work evolutionary. Species adapt and pass on their genes, technically there is no “human”, “erectus”, “australopithecus etc. It is easy to think about species, even the world, cultures etc. in terms of NOUNS, when actually it really helps if you think of it all as VERBS.

(p.s. [for anyone who feels spoken to] I have no patience for ignorance )

well as this is the christian forum can i remind you that god doesn't have to follow our rules for how things work?

Just because we say something, that doesn't make it so.

Not yet..

Just remember, the world is a collection of verbs. It's about ongoing stories, the species around you didn't start at ''page 1'', it's more like any other pages, and the previous page is a very slightly different version of it. A human culture is like that too.

That was one of my first thoughts. When someone says "we evolved from apes" I think they are not talking about us or "we" in my opinion as I think we are souls, not the temporary body we are in.

But I think yes the physical body we are merged with or temporarily "in" is evolving or changing. I think all life physical forms on this planet have been "created" or formed by intelligent beings not necessarily in this physical plane. I think these beings "tweak" life forms from time to time by altering the DNA thus creating abrupt changes in the physical forms.

That's why I think human traits suddenly appeared. Some being (or beings) made changes in the DNA. (The bible says a group was involved using the words we and us. )

Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

I think who or what made souls is another question than who or what made physical forms or bodies. I think a "soul" is basically an individual consciousness within a united form of consciousness's which could be called "God" or the source. Changes in consciousness (souls) is very different from changes in physical forms in my opinion. Very different mechanisms involved I think. I think consciousness changes through increases in awareness and I doubt that can be "tweaked" like DNA can. I think it comes about naturally through experience. But then I think brain capacity is involved.

I'm reading all that you lovely people say here...

I've not researched at all on how we evolved, I know some of it I've read here and there over the years - It's 'just' in churches and the new generation that comes in - we have to be so careful what is said, as in they believe us - or they don't come again - I think it's important what is said / or not...

So keep sharing your opinions everyone - I respect to everyone's free choice what to say here.
