Ecclesiastes 9-12

[wolfpurplemoon]

Everyone dies so enjoy life while you can, as noone knows when their time is up, once you're gone that is it.

Wisdom is better than war, although good things can be destroyed by one sinner.

Wisdom is needed in every day life to avoid dangers that can occur during your work, even the bible is obsessed with health and safety!

Again, human knowledge had surpassed what was known in biblical times, we do know the path of the wind and we understand the development of the foetus in its mother's womb, so (following the logic of 11:5) obviously we can know the "work of God who makes everything".

How does this not make your head explode? You are to enjoy your life to the fullest, following your desires and impulses. BUT you must remember that God is judging you at all times. And while keeping that in mind you have to avoid stress, how?

And the conclusion of this book? Fear God and follow his commandments. I'm not entirely sure how Ecclesiastes leads you to that conclusion.

I think you are just a bit confused in your definitions. There is a great difference in evolving and adapting. Just because a colder climate people may have more body hair or a finch from galapagos has a harder beak, does not prove evolution. They sipmly adapted to their surroundings

Sure, those two pieces of evidence in isolation don't prove evolution, but they are just a small part of the amazing wealth of evidence that together proves evolution conclusively. Oh, and as adaptation is one of many evolutionary processes, it doesn't make much sense saying there is a great difference between evolution and adaptation.

Adaptation is the only evolutionary process that actually exists.
