Creation as described genesis is a reality... and of course there is an evolution of things (the reason why you look like a combo of your mom and dad) but you cannot evolve outside your class. Example: plant kingdom, animal kingdom, people kingdom..... You are created in the image and likeness of an amazing Creation.... but if you want to believe that an amoeba became a monkey after a million years and then fell off a tree, tail was cut off, and we got jobs and became humans.... that is fine .... you can believe you are made in the image of a monkey.
But I prefer to see you and all people as something special and unique - Godlike.

Kingdoms are at the second level of classification. The human species is at the 26th level of classification. You are only 25 orders of magnitude wrong. Not bad for a fundie.

"Creation as described genesis is a reality..."

Not even close, pal.

"and of course there is an evolution of things (the reason why you look like a combo of your mom and dad) but you cannot evolve outside your class."

Well, you're sort of correct in a round about, fuzzy sort of way.

"Example: plant kingdom, animal kingdom, people kingdom....."

If you'll look closely you'll probably note those are "Kingdoms", not "Classes".

"You are created in the image and likeness of an amazing Creation...."

If you say so.

"but if you want to believe that an amoeba became a monkey after a million years and then fell off a tree, tail was cut off, and we got jobs and became humans.... that is fine ...."

You really like those ellipses, don't you? Also, that's a mighty fine straw man you've got there.

"But I prefer to see you and all people as something special and unique - Godlike."

And one hell of an ego to go along with your straw man it seems. I'm sure you're aware that calling yourself "Godlike" is heretical and, in an earlier time, you'd have been burned at the stake, right?

and of course there is an evolution of things but you cannot evolve outside your class. Example: plant kingdom, animal kingdom, people kingdom

Explain why small changes, when integrated over time, can't result in changes large enough to cross a class boundary.

By the way, you seem to be erroneously using the word "class" interchangeably with "kingdom" - a class is two taxonomic ranks below a kingdom; you cannot therefore describe the boundaries of a class in terms of "plant", "animal", etc, which are kingdoms.

Even if you wont budge on your dogmatic rejection of evolution, at least save us some headaches by learning the right words before you sound off.

old comment by Euclid

Creation as described genesis is a reality
Which one? Gen 1 or Gen 2?
there is an evolution of things
Heresy! Clearly you're not a True Christian (as defined by other True Christians).
You are created in the image and likeness of an amazing Creation
Er, what? God is a Creation? Who was God's Creator, then? Or are we made in the likeness of Creation (ie the natural world)... in which case, yeah, that's kinda what evolution says (without the necessity for a creator).
if you want to believe that an amoeba became a monkey after a million years
you're an idiot. If you want to believe that Christians believe that Jesus was a purple dwarf who ate magic toast that gave him x-ray vision, you're also an idiot.
Godlike
God's made out of dirt?
