WANTED: Stories of people who lost or almost lost faith – and only came back because they realized…
There’s more than one way to read Genesis!
I’d love to feature your story here on my blog.
Post a short version in the comments below and if it’s a fit we’ll be in touch with you directly.
Genesis 1:24-25 (NASB):
Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind”; and it was so.
God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good.
You may ask, “Where is evolution in this passage?”
Right here:
When you confront bacteria with antibiotics, they actively seek to adapt and survive. They begin editing their DNA, causing mutation rates to skyrocket. The rate of DNA changes suddenly ramps up to 100,000X normal speed.
Watch this time-lapse video by Harvard Medical School. It only takes two weeks for these bacteria to develop 1000X resistance!

Evolution 2.0 is the cell’s capacity to adapt and to generate new features and new species – by engineering its own DNA in real time. This is based on 100 years of experiments which the public has heard little about.
Evolution 2.0 
recognizes that neither “side” is telling you the truth.
I got a provocative blog comment from Young Earth Creationist B. A. Christian:
Question: Do we need “Special Knowledge” in this case brought in from something called science to rightly interpret the passages? Or does it mean what it says? Is death the hero of the plot or the last enemy? Does consensus of geologists, biologists and astronomers determine truth?
What happens when you are FORCED to evolve? A conversation with a business customer puzzled by Evolution 2.0 leaves some clues about Symbiogenesis:
An elegant solution to an old problem:

I once complained to an eminent professor at a prestigious university: “Everybody here is miles deep in some incredibly specialized topic. Nobody seems to be about the big picture.”
“Exactly,” he said. Cosmo Sapiens is one of those rare books that is about the big picture, yet also reports the state of the field accurately and not triumphantly.
I received a review copy from the publisher. I might not have Read more »
If you were studying computers today…
Would you start with the 1984 “Apple II Plus Troubleshooting and Repair Manual”?
Then… why would you learn evolution by reading Richard Dawkins and Bill Nye?
Dawkins’ books on evolution – like those of his pals Bill Nye, Jerry Coyne and others – are every bit as outdated as this computer book.
You may be tempted to doubt me. But don’t take my word for it. In a minute I’m going to show you how to prove this to yourself.
Old-school Neo-Darwinism has been replaced by a new, Post Modern Synthesis. Practicing biologists know this. Only now is the public beginning to hear the truth.
