Oh... so plants lived billions of years unable to synthesize proteins, and didn't starve out? they probably got their energy needs through some other source, until a mutation that allowed some plants to take in sunlight as well. over time, photosynthesis became so effective that the plants bred out the need for the other source |

They can adjust how much light enters to prevent UV damage to their cells. Mutation would cause this to malfunction and they would burn up. |

Any other notion other than intelligent design takes a whole lot more faith to believe in....so much easier and well, intelligent to believe there is a God who created everything we are and all of the world. It always boils down to the fact that they are afraid that if there is a God they may be held accountable to Him one day, which they will. Then they are forced to discount the obvious, not a smart choice. |

Prior to Darwin's pinnacle of non-scientific stupidity, no one was simple enough to think anything formed by accident, "For God’s wrath is being revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who are suppressing the truth in an unrighteous way, 19 because what may be known about God is manifest among them, for God made it manifest to them. 20 For his invisible [qualities] are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable; 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God nor did they thank him, but they became empty-headed in their reasonings and their unintelligent heart became darkened. 22 Although asserting they were wise, they became foolish 23 and turned the glory of the incorruptible God into something like the image of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed creatures and creeping things.'

Prior to Darwin's pinnacle of non-scientific stupidity, no one was simple enough to think anything formed by accident, You mean, no one was SMART enough to think anything formed by natural movement...thus a need for man to create something they had no proof of. At least we have proof of evolution and how that continues to work today. But then again....that would have you confront your biggest fears and those fears are neatly and tidily kept raging in the cage within your mind and soul, bleeding and feeding the fear energy outward. People were so wrapped up in fear that they had to assign contexts that they could understand in their usually tribal and extremely primitive ways. It was always about fear and trying to understand things in ways they could comprehend to appease that fear. It still is, and you are a prime example of that still happening. Read Karen Armstrong's book, A History of God, if you aren't too afraid to read it. I suspect you are too afraid but some reading it will not be too afraid and will welcome the moment to unlock the shackles of their mind and soul. She reviews the human "evolution" of God in a way that is very non-threatening to those like yourself who are rabid believers. [link to www.abebooks.com] |

No way the plants developed receptors for the sun later. All things are given life by the sun, for anything to 'evolve' without evolving in direct proportion to the energy it is receiving from the sun would just not make sense. |
