‘Who made me?’
said the apple
to the tree.'
“I made you, but
who made me?”

“Another tree 
made apples,
and one
fell
to the ground –
and I’d begun,
for it grew
to be
me!”

‘But which came first –
an apple or a tree?’
“Well, there you have
the riddle, you see.”

“But we know He
made the first apple tree
able to grow apples
continually!”

Certainly a valid question, but never mind an answer!

Why does it not fall far from the tree? Nolan &

Oh, it does fall, but I'm not sure if it asks the question before or after!

Genesis 1:11-13 implies the vegetation, including trees, were made with seed/fruit, like Adam was made fully grown up! Rh

so much for evolution theory!

If Darwin had lived now he'd realise that the mechanisms he hoped might be discovered haven't been and and new discoveries eg soft tissues in dinosaurs fossils and increasing awareness of the intricacy of the chemistry of life and its complex organisation, makes his theory even less likely, and maybe he wouldn't have proposed it!

There is a beautiful part where Aslan creates (the founding) of Narnia which almost makes it seem feasible, Creation I mean. In the story "The Magician's nephew". As for myself I don't know really what to believe but neither is it so terribly important exactly how things happened.

Keep well & all the best & Nolan

The problem is that people feel that they've been told evolution has happened, without realising the fallacies in the theory and evidence proffered, increasingly clear, but there is a reluctance to consider creation because it means there is a God (which people realise in their heart of hearts must be so) with whom we need to relate (and he invites all to come to Him). Creation is feasable because God is almighty, more feasable than evolution really which has impossible chance possibilities to somehow get things becoming more complex not more damaged! Rhiannon
