If you are defining evolution as “survival of the fittest,” no problem. But are you defining it as all life came from the primordial ooze? If so, you are really on thin ice. Or maybe you are one of the evolutionists who will not address from whence came the universe? It just appeared out of nowhere from nothing? Talk about having faith!
Evolution deals with change in living plants, animals, etc. abiogenesis deals with the origin of life. Evolution has been happening as long as there has been life and deals only with living things. The origin of the universe and changes there arent a subject for evolution. My interest in geology led to my interest in evolution and it leads to my acceptance of evolution. I dont know enough about cosmology if you will to form more than a superficial opinion.
Quite right: either all of scripture is true, or none of it...
4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by ~every~ word of God.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
So, when God says there was evening and there was morning, the first day...sad that people really think God does not understand the ramifications of what he said or does not mean what he says.
Oh, there is controversy...even among evolutionists, there is not agreement: do you still read scientific material very often?
The so called evolution controversy is a phenomenon caused by the incompatiblity between science and religion. Within science there is no controversy. Thats why evolution is referred to as a theory. A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not “guesses” but reliable accounts of the real world. Take, for instance, the theory of gravity. Wikipedia can give you all of this.
Bingo.
Thanks!
You are willfully blind, man.
LOL! "'Die Protestant heretic!,' he suggested."
