Hi All, Elizabeth, Very good. I'm going to save this explanation as it seems to me that this is how it really happened and is happening.

Maybe he liked the joy of creating a big bang? My son certainly loves to! Maybe he took awhile to cook up a batch of misbegotten human beans? Elizabeth -----Original Message----- From: [SMTP: ] Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2001 12:42 AM To: Subject: [Melungeon] Melungeon-D Digest V01 #123 The Bible is based on faith, we are not supposed to know or understand,jsut believe. In fact He tells us that we are not to question. But I also think that one of his wonderful gifts to mankind was our mind and the gifts that go with it. One of these was knowledge to use it and one was the ability to solve questions. I do believe in the Creation, as told to us in the Bible, but I also think that He gave man a mind to use and the ability to do discover great things, I also think that someday both theories will be melded together finding that both the Creation and evolution were correct, I know that in our present way of thinking, that this can not be true, but sense I am not God, and no one knows the answer, it does seem to me that this has to be the answer. Science is not usually wrong, but God is NEVER wrong, so why can the Creation not have started out as some sort of evolution that God started, or created, as you will? Man kind was made in God's image, but who has seen God to know what he looked like, and did Adam and Eve look like human beings right from the start?(any way humans as we know them) I know that many faiths do not believe in medicine, but if God had not wanted man to use his brain to discover ways of healing, why would He have given us the ability to use the mind in that manner, and why did he allow it to progress, with such good results for as long as man has existed. Each year more is discovered to help us live better, longer lives, to elevate pain and suffering. My own personal thought is that he intended us to use it or he would have never have installed that into our brain, with the ability to continue it on. Some times there can be a simple answer such as both evolution and creation being the same. We as humans try to over use or brains and make something hard out of simple things. It does seem like we do try to out do our own thinking abilities. When we should use them to solve other problems that he wants us to use these mind cells for. like getting rid of pain and suffering and peace on earth. As far as the different colors of people, was this not part of the tower of Bable,where He made mankind speak in different languages so that they could not argue, or am I mistaken about that? Please do correct me if I am wrong because I do want to know if I recall it correctly. As in any theory, there is room for discussion. Would not persons color change according to how warm the climate was where they come from. I know that I read somewhere that the people who came from the cold climates were short and heavy, and the ones who came from the warmer climates where there were tall grasses and tress were taller and thinner. I can't remember, but there was much more, and it did make sense because of how they had to adapt to climates.
