Even evolution supports creation; the big bang is a chemical reaction and we know that action and reaction are equal an opposite. An action must have started the reaction.

Some humans however don't really need to camouflage. All they have to do is behave like what they fancy.

E.g, nizoorians behaving like apes.

Was it designed by an intelligent creator or did it evolve?

Yes. It's very possible. But the books about creation didn't say that it happened that way. It says the created said life forms should appear and they did. So by what process did this life form appear? Did the creator have in mind each of these life forms or it was simply random? Or did he allow whatever life form to occur by chance?

The Bible has a purpose and it is to lead men to salvation..for men to be completely equipped for every good work. The Bible does not need to go in-depth into details of how man was created for it to achieve its purpose. It's not a scientific book, so it is not surprising that many details are not included.

That being said, there are some verses that shed some light on your questions.

Psalms 134v15
New American Standard Bible
My frame was not hidden from You When I was made in secret, And skillfully formed in the depths of the earth

NASB 1977
My frame was not hidden from Thee, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth.

Amplified Bible
My frame was not hidden from You, When I was being formed in secret, And intricately and skillfully formed [as if embroidered with many colors] in the depths of the earth.

Also verse 16
Your eyes even saw me as an embryo; All its parts were written in your book Regarding the days when they were formed, Before any of them existed.

and in thy book all [my members] were written: [which] in continuance
were fashioned, when [as yet there was] none of them;
in the book of God's eternal mind, and designs, the plan of the human body was drawn, all the parts of it described, and their form, places, and uses fixed, even when as yet not one of them was in actual being; but in due time they are all exactly formed and fashioned according to the model of them in the mind of God; who has as perfect knowledge of them beforehand as if they were written down in a book before him, Or "in thy book are written all [of them], what days they should be fashioned"; not only each of the members of the body were put down in this book, but each of the days in which they should be formed and come into order: "when" as yet there was "none of them"; none of those days, before they took place, even before all time.
So it shows there is a design process which involves skills and intricacy to achieve. Verse 16 mentions that all the parts were written in a book/code such that design process or development follows a pattern like a software code being executed. The minutes or days a cell will divide, when it will fuse with another and form a new member etc

This code is what the scientists call the DNA, which has a record of all the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth and reproduction of all known organisms.

Following same line of logic, who knows, maybe the books about creation were written with the language and knowledge of 1st century people. Imagine the Nostradamus prophecies, how he saw “destructive birds” of the sky, a 4th century man who was unaware that aircrafts and warplanes could someday be built.

Also, they say the world was created in 6 days, just using our galaxy for instance, 1 day on the moon is about 4 weeks on earth. The days may be relatively expressed

The Bible never said it was a 24 hour day period. A 'day' in the Bible can be an unspecified time period in which an event occurred.
As you said the days are relatively expressed. If I say I would come during the day...my listener automatically knows that am talking about coming during the daylight hours, late evening and night is a excluded, so I have used day in that context not as a 24 hour period.

In genesis 2v4
4This is a history of the heavens and the earth in the time they were created, in the day[i][/i] that Jehovah God made earth and heaven.

The whole creation of the heaven and earth was said to be done in a day. This 'day' subsumes the 6 creative days and each of the six creative days can thousands of years to humans.

In fact the Bible said a day in God's eyes is a thousand years with humans. So it would wrong to take the 6 creative days as literal days.

I asked you a question and instead of saying you don't have answers, which is a honest response, you start by attacking me.

I am a Christian. I believe in a God. At the same time, I am not blind. The bible does not provide all the answers, in fact, based on what we know today, the Bible reflect the mentality of people of that time who had little understanding of how the world works.

When you don't have answers, the honest response is, you don't know than to attack people that.
Why can't people just be decent without attaching it to being religious? Why only be good because God told you to be? I've never got that.
I was brought up catholic, obliged to go to church every sunday my whole youth. Getting hit in prepschool wit a stick on our butt if we couldn't say the religious texts by heart. Going to Holy Mass every day in my first year at boarding school. We weren't allowed to have our own say, we were always thought wrong, our parents and priests always knew better. Every evening we prayed the rosary, in my teens I must have said about 440.000 Hail Mary's and 35,000 Our fathers before my 19th birthday, Never were my thoughts with the words I said.My Parents still sent me to a university where I had to stand up any where I was on Campus by 12noon and say Hail Mary.
Okija then was Hell.
From,The moment I left my parents house and went for youth service I never went to church anymore except marriages and burials til now.

Human pls lean.

God didn't create human body and existence alone.

He's has to work much harder and conceive the concept of our spiritual body.. Cos human appears in dual worlds.

Then in his Devine immeasurable know-how conceive the knowledge to multiply us.. And retain our bloodlines from millennium to generation.

You response shows foolishness personified. None of the questions doubt the existence of God but the process of creation or evolution. But since you people don't have a mind that can think or reason, any questions that is difficult to comprehend or you cannot answer becomes an attack on your god.

At least I have a God and a creator you can attack, make una dey there dey yeye unaself.

Understood but when you’re arguing with a scientist, you try not to quote too much from the Bible because though that’s your truth, you’re not sounding logical to them. It’s like when you’re in the law court, you don’t win a case with Bible quotes, you win with evidence, facts, logic, and witnesses

You mean the intelligent creator sat down, designed all part of it, the internal system, the DNA, RNA, chromosomes, respiratory system, nervous systems etc, then began the process of producing different parts and then assembling them?

Or the intelligent designer simply willed it into existence?


He sat down and designed it. Inch by inch. Even the number of chromosomes. Even the number of hairs in your armpit and on your hair. He is ALMIGHTY. ALL KNOWING. He created. His word CREATES.

I had to turn my phone upsidedown to look for the caterpillar, indeed God is great.
Which God did it? Was it the one that was born, sucked milk like a man, piss and shit like a man, was beaten and killed like a man and then resurrected (woke) up again or the one that always send his messenger to kill others on his behalf?

This phenomenon is called "God of the Gaps". Other examples are ;I hear roaring thunder in the sky - God did it and is angry. I see volcanic eruptions at the top of a mountain - God lives in the mountain. I see the sun rise up every morning - it was made by God or is a God itself.

Primitive man had always worshipped the God of the Gaps since antiquity as the simplest explanation for phenomenon he does not understand.

I believe that you are referring to Jehovah (one of the deities edified by the homo sapiens).
He's a figment of imagination just like other deities, and this doesn't proof his existence in anyway.

Why are you worried about Atheists? How does their belief in the non-existence of your god affect you? You say you believe in a higher being, they say to them there is no higher being. So live and let live. Or does your bible not preach something like that?

Jehovah the Almighty God never told anyone that he will send him to hellfire rather he told Adam that he will go back to dust because that was where he was created from so teaching of tormenting people in hellfire never emanated from him
