Question
Hello, honestly I don't expect you to know about this... but I couldn't find any other thing that could explain(for now). I just read a article about a half-plant, half-animal called Elysia chlorotica. It's a sea-slug that has stolen chloplasts from the plants that they eat, and can carry out photosynthesis. I would like to know how this would apply to creationism, and evolutionism.
Hello Edwin;
Genesis 1:24, "And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds..."" This command allows a limited "evolution" "according to their kinds." In other words, adaptability, change--within the "kind"--influenced by the land or earth. The Elysia chlorotica is an amazing creature, it has adopted photosynthesis, but it remains within its "kind." It's still a sea-slug.
Adaptability is built into creatures and gives live tenacity and flexibility a fixed state would prevent.
Sincerely,
Marilyn

Expertise
I can answer questions on issues about evolution and creationism. I can answer questions on how the Bible applies to every day life and the future of mankind. I have some understanding of spiritual warfare. If I don`t know the answer to your question, I`m not going to try and pretend that I do. But every answer a questioner receives from any person, expert here or anywhere else, must be weighed against what the Bible says and laid before God in prayer. Spiritual issues are too important to just accept what a person tells you without confirmation from the Bible and the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit who gives a person wisdom. He will give peace regarding how to handle any issue or teaching if it is correct.
Experience
I am a life long student of the Bible and have tested its teachings under fire and found them solid.
Education/Credentials
I have a Bachelor's degree in English and Art Education. I am a mother, and I think that is an educational qualification of itself.
