I'm a visual learner, this was fun to make, been super bored lately. I'm not even sure anyone will get what I did with the imagery but hopefully some might.

I think some of this is more commonly known with that video of I think Jim Carrey pointing out how God's design is almost even visible on humans.


I also get this vision sometimes when I close my eyes that looks like what's in the video a nuclear bomb going off and as the smoke raises it resembles and then turns into a tree. Like how destruction can actually breathe life. John 2:19-21 English Standard Version 2016 (ESV)Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?” But he was speaking about the temple of his body.

It speaks on the fall with the war in heaven, people dying because they are in physical temporal bodies. My theory is also that this world may possibly be hell (cars, oil, animal torture, all sorts of death and decay) In John 18:36, Jesus says, "My kingdom is not of this world," meaning that his reign and authority are not based on earthly power or political structures, but rather on a spiritual realm that transcends the physical world; essentially, his kingdom is not from this earth.

Ties into how the promise of eternal life in the bible works with being born of Spirit and Spirit working against flesh and flesh against Spirit. I believe that the only way to escape the world is essentially ascencion.

I think everyone knows all this, it's basic stuff lol

I know a lot of people don't agree that Evolution and God can co exist, I strongly disagree. Evolution definition is simply the gradual development of something, especially from a simple to a more complex form. This happens all the time. As someone who likes fitness and understands dieting, i've seen how the body can even have physiological adaptions to certain diets, routines and conditions. Entire civilizations can turn from prosperous to tyrannus with oppressive or impoverished circumstances. And these events are always over a course of time, not instantaneous.

I think evolution is not debatable, the course of it's direction is.

There is a time for all that God permits, but evolution (as used and defined in the world we live in) has never happened.
What? That's ridiculous. Evolution happens in real time, right now, regularly. There's no reason to deny things we see with our own eyes.

It makes sense that God would install some mechanism for which creatures can adapt to changing environemnts. We are not passive lumps of flesh who cannot navigate our way around and without God given abilities to adapt.

But we have evolved beyond the material mechanisms to a higher plane that is our true self in the overall scheme of things. One that goes on beyond this world. We know it because we live it everyday. Its not an illusion but the real thing.

This is our challenge that God is asking, that Christ has shown. That we transcend our flesh bodies and desires and begin Gods Kingdom down here on earth. The complete opposite of what a world idea of naturalistic evolution is about. Which is everything about surviving within this temporary world.

As humans even without religious belief we know this. Throughout our history helping the needy, saving for a rainy day, sacrificing self for the family and others and even laying down our life for another. We already know the treasures in heaven are what really give life meaning.

But the only way we can overcome our weak carnal flesh is to be born again of the spirit. We cannot overcome this by our own effort as the flesh is weak but Christ is stronge.

Hi
Is it evolution or creation

Love and Peace
Dave
Both. Creation for sure, never thought of it like that. But must be some miscommunication with the word evolution. I think of it as simply things changing over time, and things always change, that's a given. Even heavenly realms come and go changing with the times.

I don't know why or how people can say evolution isn't a real thing when it's simply things and people changing over time (And they DO!) people change alll the time. We are either moving more toward the spirit or flesh. Idk.
