I don’t believe in evolution because of conclusive evidence. I believe it is the hypothesis best supported by a preponderance of evidence. As evidence is accumlated for (and against) the hypothesis, my support for it will adjust accordingly.
You believe in God based on no evidence but purely on your faith in His existance. That is fine.
The difference is that my position can be influenced by reason where yours, as you admit, cannot.
“The difference is that my position can be influenced by reason where yours, as you admit, cannot.”
Actually - it is an “Escape from Reason” to assert that God is not there and the claims of the Bible are not true.
If you are unafraid of investigating the REASON for the certainty of Christian faith - I would strongly suggest you invest in these 3 classics from Francis Schaeffer:
The God Who Is There
He Is There and He Is Not Silent
Escape from Reason
God is the Creator of this universe and of all mankind, including you and we are to “’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”
REASON demands the verdict that only an intelligent designer could create the intricate complexities of all we find in the universe.
Random chance events over time simply cannot explain WHAT IS.
“The difference is that my position can be influenced by reason where yours, as you admit, cannot.”
Nope... I never admitted any such thing. Reason could absolutely influence me. Where I have a problem with evolutionists is when they are presented with reason and they do not know how to respond they resort to attacks, whining, name-calling, etc. I admit I’ve been a bit forward at times but it’s honestly in response to the attitude of the majority of evolutionists on this site. The only way I can get anything out of most of them is to fight fire with fire and sometimes I learn where they are coming from.
I’ve been pleasantly surprised by a couple of evolutionists on the site that have been not only civil, but reasonable, pleasant and a joy to debate. That, however has been the exception and not the rule.
