Evolution isn't even golden. It was really made from Darwin's dung. But people still like to worship it.

This article is a good example of the logical fallacy of “confirmation bias”. It would be analogous to my claiming that Jim Jones and his cult are typical of Christianity. Both are equally absurd.
The pic “How to Build A Bomb in the public school system” says it all!
Darwinistic evolution gives people who do not want to be accountable to God a means to eliminate Him. Illogical, but “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge...”, without it one is easily deceived by foolish lies.
When my son was seven he explained to his grandpa how the second law of thermodynamics proves the theory of evolution to be impossible. I remember because my dad’s (a physics teacher) jaw dropped-he also stopped pushing us to give up homeschooling after that conversation. Even a child can see it’s flaws. I am continually surprised at how much energy and effort adults put into defending a flawed theory.
Amen.
1Ti 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
Judeo-Christian theology and atheistic anything are, by definition, incompatible.
When it comes to evolution, many Christians try very hard to make it compatible with the Bible.
And many try very hard to make it incompatible.
To be fair he should have explained to you that this means “in a closed system.” The 2nd Law was not meant to apply to open systems.
The way it is seen to behave shows that it’s open. Now the question becomes: open to just WHAT.
I think the question is simpler. Is what we see in the appearance of the cornucopia of life on earth, behavior that would be characteristic of Darwinism? If it isn’t, then that suggests another factor, or Factor. If we see apples rising off the ground and lodging in tree branches, we don’t attribute this to gravity. Gravity does not behave like that.
This is just the record of nature and logic. This is even before cracking open a bible.

People are convinced by the evidence for evolution, it’s not a matter of belief.
I ran across this the other day:

Teaching evolution is a sneaky way of turning kids into atheists. He does well at explaining how people can be so wrong these days.
Well...he was only seven years old ;).
Unless by killing machine you mean the beast that most efficiently hunts and enjoys the meat, then it’s true. Wolves could outdo coyotes with their group hunting structure, until humans hunted them out, allowing coyotes to win by default. But ordinarily, wolves trump coyotes in terms of who gets the bacon.
Well, the Miller/Urey experiment showed the absurdity of expecting more than molecules far less complex than say DNA of forming on Earth. Expecting organic chemicals to form complex organic molecules such as DNA on their own is insane, far less complex molecules are not formed without direction and control in an experimental setting, lack of control, and even the molecules formed can break down, undoing your very objectives.
Godless evolution is a far-fetched bet.
Yep, and I am amazed at how many Christians strongly adhere to that theory. I have degree in biology from a Baptist college. My senior year my roommate gave me a little book that explained the flaws in evolution. It was as though the scales fell from my eyes. I was so excited that I started talking to my friends in the department and they all warned me not to bring it up in any class as the professors were all evolutionists.
One geology prof sort of hinted that there was a possibility of six day creation, but that was in a statement on the first day of class that we can agree that God did it, we have no way of knowing how He did it, so we will not spend any time in class debating young earth creationism vs old earth evolution.
All I had ever been taught (outside of bible stories in church) was old earth evolution. When I went to this Christian college I thought that since they were Christians, they would teach the truth about earth’s origins. Silly, I know, but it its what I thought. When all I heard was evidence for evolution I thought that must be what happened. That little book changed everything for me, it wasn’t just about evolution. It was about myths that Christians believe and why they shouldn’t.
My college experience includes a fellow biology major who was one of my best friends literally leaving the faith due to evolution. It was a process that happened over many years, but she was very honest about it. She had a Unitarian minister perform the marriage ceremony for her and her hindu husband. Their kids are not being raised as Christians. I have seen the consequences of opening the door to doubting God’s word and so I firmly believe that an evolutionary world view will allow people’s minds to walk away from every aspect of the truth of the bible, including every single one of the 10 Commandments.
I am not sure about the six day creation. I just also see the general concept of spontaneous evolution as being extremely far-fetched because it is not something I can experimentally prove.
As for people who try to destroy faith, they try to do it with the very same logical fallacies that your English teacher warned you all about, common ones that I see are Strawman and Ad Hominem.
The evolution “debate” hinges on the Strawman Fallacy, because you have to assume that everyone who believes in creation by God stereotypically also believes in a six day creation, that is not addressing any point made, that is making up an argument for the sake of ridicule.
I don’t know how long the Earth took to be created with exactness, but I do know that arguing spontaneity is a little rediculous, I also believe that we don’t have aliens like you see in sci-fi, I do believe that since evolution is guided, “aliens” look like human beings out there and live like we do, under the same exact God, and subject to heaven, purgatory, and hell all the same. Well, I guess I am on a tangent there, but since we have not certifiably actually found other intelligent life out there, perhaps I am right.
