the Lord works in mysterious ways....why not through what we now call evolution.

[Dutchboy88]

The difficulty with this position is that, at bottom, evolution relies upon a conviction that random (meaning undirected) mutations arose from a single life form to ascend to every living thing now in existence, whether plant or animal. At least biblical Christianity would contend that the text denies such unattended or unintended events. There is, according to the Scriptures, no such thing.

[Dutchboy88]

Don’t misunderstand me to say that the death threats are justified. That is simply unacceptable. The man cannot see because he is prevented from seeing. And he loves it.

“why not through what we now call evolution.”

That might be well and good except God told us otherwise. For evolution to exist would mean God created mistakes; a world that’s imperfect and getting better. Death and suffering are all good things because it perfects the creation. God’s Word tells us otherwise.

The worm cannot live in any other way, except by burrowing through eyeballs. I find that hard to reconcile with the notion of a divine and benevolent creator."

Same as the bubonic plague, in fact ANY illness or disease. If people would actually READ the Bible, rather than sit hoity-toity & pass ignorant judgement, they would KNOW what the answers to these easy questions are.

(A) - who ever said God was "benevolent". HE made YOU. Don't YOU apply labels to HIM that you think he ought have.

(B) - what do you know about "divine"? You use the term like it means "lovely". It DOESN'T mean lovely. READ the Bible, and get some idea of WHAT divine actually MEANS.

(C) - Man is CURSED. Man is living in a SPIRITUAL reality, and our corporeal existance is merely a shadow of that reality. These illnesses and afflictions are part of that CURSE. We must be REDEEMED from that curse. God has provided a means through which we can BE redeemed from the curse. God says that he curses a few generations of those who hate him, but blesses HUNDREDS of generations of those who love him. That is why Christian nations are doing well. Even in Africa, the Christians do better. This is from the blessing of God. But we are in a lot of TROUBLE, because we are starting to become like SODOM, and the blessing of God might be LIFTED from us. That would be BAD.

“why not through what we now call evolution.?”

Because that would deny Scripture.

Ditto what you said.
