Broadcast<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n In the Beginning - Part 3\n Genesis 1:11-13\n 10\/23\/2024\n\n\n 11 And God said, ``Let the earth sprout vegetation,\n plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing\n fruit in which is their seed, each according to\n its kind, on the earth.'' And it was so.\n 12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants\n yielding seed according to their own kinds, and\n trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each\n according to its kind. And God saw that it was\n good.\n 13 And there was evening and there was morning, the\n third day. (ESV)\n\n According to the United States Department of Agriculture,\n about 88 percent of the soybean crop in Minnesota had been\n harvested as of October 13, 2024.[1] While looking at the soybean\n fields a few weeks ago, you might have noticed some stalks of\n corn growing in the rows. No one would suggest that somehow the\n beans had mutated into corn. Rather, one would rightly conclude\n that there were kernels of corn in the seed which was planted\n last spring. Likewise the weeds which infested the beans were\n not caused by some sort of evolution, but by natural processes\n where seeds may be blown or transported by insects or animals.\n\n This agrees with the words of Genesis:\n And God said, ``Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants\n yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which\n is their seed, each according to its kind, on the\n earth.'' And it was so. The earth brought forth\n vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own\n kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed,\n each according to its kind. And God saw that it was\n good. And there was evening and there was morning, the\n third day.\n\n\n We expect bean fields to produce beans and corn fields to\n produce corn and sunflower fields to produce sunflowers. Can we\n question the idea of macro-evolution that suggests that one\n species may mutate to become another species? If that teaching\n is correct, why do we no longer see such changes? What happened\n to give us the sure and certain hope that planting a field of\n beans will produce more beans?\n\n May our Lord grant us faith to see His almighty power in\n sustaining this world. Amen.\n ____________________\n\n 1. https:\/\/www.nass.usda.gov\/Statistics_by_State\/Minnesota\/Publications\/Crop_Progress_&_Condition\/2024\/MN-Crop-Progress-10-15-24.pdf<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"October 23, 2024 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2445","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2024"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2445","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2445"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2445\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2446,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2445\/revisions\/2446"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
