the number one answer that I get for there not being a God, so then I don’t have to believe in [God/the gospel], is evolution.

..well maybe if people stopped making this the line in the sand of faith, and consider that God may have put evolution in place as His 'how', things would change.

Read the article - it is exactly that approach that is weakening the church. Either Genesis is right or evolution is right. Oil and water, they won't mix. Kind regards.

Doesn’t seem that difficult does it?

Sure- We’ll just ignore all the evidnece against Macroevolution and beleive ‘God used evolution’ despite hte fact that it violates several key scientific principles- Yep- there’s no conflict with Creation and evolution at all

that’s like saying you can believe in a cradle to grave welfare state and still be a conservative. “We’ll just manage it better than the liberals.”

Wow...blame the victim games.

If lunatic liberal evolution cultists weren’t demanding God be removed from not only science class, but schools all together, in fact public period...maybe Christians wouldn’t be drawing lines in the sand!

As it is now, liberal lunatics are demanding such idiocy as crosses be removed from federal cemeteries (Mt. Soledad), crosses from town logos: Las Cruces (which MEANS the crosses btw) and Los Angeles (city of angels), forcing little children to sing ‘O Christmas Tree’ as ‘O Holiday tree’, because “Christmas” is too offensive...IGWT off our money and pretty much everything, 10 commandments, same thing...

and on and on and on and on...they’re unhinged.

Normal people are just fed up with secular humanist boobs.

BTW...I’m all for teaching evolution that way, as long as it isn’t propped up by lawsuits to enforce children to believe that evolution is sheer happenstance, with no purpose, no intelligence, totally random, without guidance and on and on and on...alongside creation/ID, and let the debate continue, science move forward.

Evos go by evidence, which they say eliminates the need for faith.

Without faith it's impossible to please God. So if we demand that God used evolution, we've removed the faith element.

Perhaps if the evos could consider that God used special creation instead of evolution, things would change. Why do the creationists have to give ground, especially when God Himself told us how He created it in Genesis?

I think I've sent you this link before, but maybe I haven't: "Jesus Was Not A Theistic Evolutionist."

Seems like a strong argument against TE. Please wrestle with that blog, perhaps even following the embedded links. It seems correct. And if you're not correct, then you are propagating something that is not true.

Didn’t read the article, did you?

And not to be offensive, but I agree with every single word attributed to Richard Dawkins in that article.
