The Bible does tell all, you just have to know how to read it.

In May 1601 King James VI of Scotland attended the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland at St. Columba's Church in Burntisland, Fife, and proposals were put forward for a new translation of the Bible into English. Two years later he acceded to the throne of England.
The King James Version was first conceived at the Hampton Court Conference, which the new king called in 1604 in response to the problems posed by Puritans in the Millenary Petition. According to an eyewitness account, Dr John Rainolds "moved his majesty that there might be a new translation of the Bible, because those which were allowed in the reign of king Henry the Eight and Edward the Sixt were corrupt and not answerable to the truth of the original."

Hahahaha wrote:Yes, it is known who was on the council, most are now saints. We have no choice but to trust them as there is no other option. I would also argue that although imperfect like the rest of us, they took the religion seriously as well as the fact that it is a sin to alter God's word. More faith required.
Hahahaha wrote:The KJV is a rough translation but it is also the only version with that particular set of texts. There is no Revelation in certain Bibles, and no book of Angels in KJV, so you need a couple different ones just to get all of the "Authorized" books. The chuirch did not destroy texts they did trust, they simply left them out of the Bible. For example, the Gospel of Thomas is still around, just not in the Bible as it was altered by Gnostics.

This is my belief.

True, I'm sure that they took religion seriously and did not alter what they thought was gods word. They did decide, on their own, what books they believed were truly inspired by god. The problem is, how did they know? They didn't, unless you believe that god gave them the ability to tell the difference. They just picked the books THEY liked and as a result, any books they did not pick are seen as fakes or nonsense. You do have an option, read all of the scriptures available, even the ones they did not include. Ever here of the book of Judah or Mary? How about the other versions of revelations?

well for purposes of keeping the discussion going.... man is classified as an animal. we are mammals and over time just the same as the smaller animals you have mentioned and organisms down to microorganisms have proved...
the larger , more complex, or more dense the animal/object...the longer it takes to show change.
for example.
micro organisms can show evolution in a few hours, also have the shortest lifespans
the scorpions which have a shorter lifespan than humans by far a few years or decade at the most for the longest living ones.
humans, which are far larger, more complex, and more or less since the start of the US have only been through on avg about 5 generations will take far more time to evolve.
see, my main point of evolution, is like any other thing on earth.
the larger, more dense, more complex something is, the longer it takes the change. if something lives for a long time, per generation over lets say 100 years, you are NOT gonna notice much change. a human thats barely 2 full generations worth of time.
100 years for something like micro bacteria thats millions and millions of offspring and generations, so its more evident, that organism would have had more time to change.

There's your answer. God did create a species to evolve.....
