“why not through what we now call evolution.?”
Because that would deny Scripture.
Science has no facts just theories which haven’t been disproven through the scientific method. For instance our understanding of gravity has been revised recently after new observations gleaned through cosmology.
Anybody who claims there are “facts” instead of theories in science is an idiot. A close minded, earth is flat idiot.
A little more thought went into the bible’s canonization than you let on. Look up the Councils of Carthage sometime.
Who are you do mock Gods intentions.
If he intended Humans to have risen by random mutations from a lesser life form, thats his business.
You put way too much in a book written by men...and men who have edited out some of what use to be in the bible. (the gospel of Judas for instance...).
Scripture was written by men.
Jesus accepted and quoted Scripture as inspired. He quoted as inspired every book in the Old Testament, as a matter of fact, except Song of Solomon, according to biblical scholars.
Of course, if you don’t think God gave us His Word, inerrant and inspired, you can believe anything. I’d rather someone (like you) admit they don’t believe the Bible is the Word of God, rather than pretend that they believe the Bible is the Word of God but believe in evolution, anyway.
If we reject Scripture as authoritative, we must find alternatives, hence evolution and other ideas. Theories rush into the vaccuum.
Exactly. Evo-atheists like Attenborough don’t want to know what God said, so they invent a fairy-tale to make their sins easier to bear.
This guy is in his 80’s though, so he’ll find out just how wrong he was soon enough. He’ll wish all he had to worry about was an eye worm when his time comes.
Absolutely, in Scripture we find that God records for us precisely why we have such afflictions as the African eye worm.
He also gives us a way to escape the final curse, if we will take it.
> Because that would deny Scripture.
Prove it. How would the Fact of Evolution “deny” Scripture?
I believe Jesus used lots of tools in his teachings. If he were dealing with Jewish people who believed in the Old Testament, he would use these as homilies.
but the stuff that was written down, even about Jesus, was written down decades, even centuries after His death. So your assumption of his exact quoting of Scriptures is suspect.
Indeed. The Bible says...
“The dice are cast into the lap. But every result is from the Lord.”
Random processes exclude God only if you think God’s power stops at the casino door, that God has no power over random processes. This is obviously a non-Biblical viewpoint, yet it is the favorite bugaboo of most Creationists. ‘You say it is random? That means you are excluding God!’. Only if you assume random is synonymous with “out of God’s control”.
I am not sure what “Who are you do mock Gods intentions.” (sic) means. But, I have no intention of mocking God in any way.
Your assumption that you understand His intentions must have arisen from some kind of input. What is it that you are relying upon to understand God’s intentions?
Sounds like you have been watching that highly reliable PBS stuff recently. Take their input with a grain of salt.
Scripture was written by men.....inspired by GOD’s Holy Spirit.
Your computer wrote that comment.
INTREP
So, you know better? Should we just make assumptions based on our feelings, rather than writing that have stood the test for centuries?
if man evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
chimps and humans evolved from a common ancestor which was an ape more primitive then both man or chimp.
there are lots of types of apes....gibbons, orangutans, gorillas and our closest ancestor, chimps and bonobos.
why are there Horses, zebras and asses, when they both evolved from primitive horse like ancestors?
