Enough noise from this damn thing. |

Im happy to report that I was in constant correspondence with Ann regarding her chapters on Darwinism indeed, I take all responsibility for any errors in those chapters. :-)

"Well, a lot of us Christians accept the Bible as the truth and that means we accept God as the creator."
So do the people who accept evolution and Christianity.
"But something MUST be wrong!
Why is there so much SIN in the country???"
Unconnected to a person's accepting evolution... or being a creationist.
What "rule" would that be? Oh, right, there isn't one.
It can be a *courtesy* (not a "rule") to ping someone if their post is quoted, but a) you have posted enough insulting material that I owe you no courtesy, b) it's not as if I employed your post in a way that you would find objectionable or requiring rebuttal, I just included it to show that there are indeed people who hold the position you do (please don't try to claim that you object to having your public opinions made public...), and c) I wasn't interested in having the thread dragged farther afield by having you and your fellows pop in to add to the noise. And sure enough here you are with the same old routine. It has already been dealt with before, and I'm not going to waste time on it now.
But hey, if you wnt to argue with someone, and you clearly do, go take it up with wallcrawlr. He said, with regard to the notion that "a belief in evolution is incompatible with conservatism and a belief in God", and I quote, "It isnt. PERIOD." Let's you and him fight it out and get back to me when you come to a consistent position, m'kay? Until then, I'm not too impressed with your absolute claims to know what the Bible actually says, since it disagrees so much with other people's claims to know what the Bible says. Or as someone once pointed out, "So long as man is still in flesh, there will be the argument over what the Bible does in fact say and instruct.". Oh, wait, that was you, wasn't it?
Poor baby. I'm sorry for exceeding your short attention span.
Wrong again. Evolution is a field of the biological sciences. Whether or not a few people might misuse it in any particular manner doesn't change what evolution actually *is*, son.
Reword your accusations next time so that they more closely resemble reality, and not a gross falsehood. Bearing false witness is a sin.
Interesting. Thanks.
No argument here!!!
Ich, I support any Christian in their work to discuss this topic.
It does not matter to me from what perspective they come from.
Keep at it just...it is not our job to grow the seed...but to plant it.
(Keep at it just...it is not our job to grow the seed...but to plant it.)
Amen!
It's disturbing to me that those who claim to be Christians (meaning that they believe the Bible is the inspired word of God) can also believe that God flat out lied in Genesis. You can't have it both ways. Either God did what He said or He is a liar. I believe He did what He said.
Have a wonderful Carolina weekend.
If Adam was created on the sixth day, and the sixth day was an unknown, long period of time, then how was Adam 930 years old at the time of his death?
If the word "day" means a long period of time, then what does "evening" and "morning" mean?
Horse manure. In the post to which you are responding, I included a link where you called someone "blasphemous" for daring to state that he had no problem believing in God, and also believing that God employed evolution in His methods.
Finny wrote this:
And you responded thusly:But recognize that He may just have done it the old fashioned way....through evolution.
Mac, I agree. The arrogance of people like Sevakis who assume that they know how God performed His miracles, is breathtaking. To conclude that a the person who understands Natural Selection therefore doesn't believe in God, is arrogant in the extreme. The truth will set you free -- using God's name to deny the evidence and promote a falsehood ("scientific" creationism) in order to cleave to a literal interpretation of Genesis, is wrong and true Christians should seek the truth through science and have enough faith in God to see His hand in all of it, as I certainly do in natural selection -- it is in itself intelligent design!
Notice that no literal interpretation of the New Testament is mandatory -- everyone knows that Jesus wasn't talking about someone having, literally, a sty or a log or a plank in their eye, because that makes no physical sense!!! Double standards!!! To me, it's the folks who insist on creationism who exhibit lack of faith in God, and the brains God gave them.
interesting...condescending, arrogant, and blasphemous...but interesting too

So don't give us this pretense of impartiality and fairmindedness now...
Oh wait, I get it -- you only refrain from disagreeing with your fellow anti-evolutionists! But when it comes to attacking people who actually do subscribe to both God and evolution, on the other hand, you consider it open season, right?
They give direct examples that the word day is not exclusive to a 24 hour period.
As to evening and morning, read the entire post.
Need a little plotted diversion did you????
Wow -- like a great many anti-evolutionists, you're in a dire need of the following:
Do you know if there exists a Linux alternative for that software, or if the Windows release will run successfully with Wine?
Was there no sin before Darwin's theory?
It gets verse.
