I am getting very frustrated with people who make all kinds of assertions without any knowledge of fact. For about the gazillionth time, evolution has nothing whatsoever to say about the existence of God. Evolution deals with what happened after the first life form came into existence. Notice that it has absolutely nothing to say about the origin of this life. It could have arisen as a result of chemical processes, it could have been created directly by God, it could have come from space, or it could have been sneezed out by the Great Green Arkleseizure. It is completely irrelevant to the theory of evolution. I have furthermore repeatedly maintained that no scientific theory or hypothesis, up to and including the big bang theory is a repudiation of God's existence. Could God not have created space-time via the mechanism of the big bang and allowed the universe to evolve according to the laws of nature which he also created? Could not life have arisen as a result of this process? Could not all the life seen on earth have arisen then as a result of evolution? God would still be the Creator of life; he just used the big bang, the laws of nature and the process of evolution to do the job. To me, a God who could design and create all of this is a much more awe-inspiring God than one who has to create each and every thing separately. Science continues to reinforce my faith. If it causes you to question yours or anyone else's, then maybe the problem isn't science.
Evolution is a THEORY about what happened to cause variations in life forms.. it is not a fact.. Creationism is also a theory.. Both explanations are handed down by proponents of the "faithful".. Evolution is a fairy tale for adults, and creationism is a fairy tale for adults and children.. Creationism is a more fully vetted and refined unproven theory. The truth is nobody knows how life began, really, how could "we".. Preachers of evolution have no proof, only things that appear to have happened in such and such of a way..
Biblical proponents used ancient "sayings" that could very well be metaphors.. and probably are to explain things.. The Adam and Eve story as an example.. That story could very be a metaphor.. and probably is..
Talking to the "faithful" on both sides of this issue can be attacking their "faith".. as they see it.. I have attacked both sides for many years and LOVE the drooling tongue hanging out responses of both sides..
Jesus came to make ALL religion obsolete, AND DID(his words)...
Much more important an event than how did "feathers" evolve"
What would a real God even NEED with a religion anyway?
Religion is probably an invention of "Satan" if there is such a thing.
And evolution theory is simply a reaction to a really good metaphor.. that "liberals can't understand" so they thunk up their own theory.
Kind of like republicans and democrats, both socialists but its only the degree of socialism in question... and how to morph this republic into being a democracy most efficiently. Democracy sucks, always, in every place, at ever time.. and socialism is a symptom of the political degradation of a democracy being created.. Same with evolution theory, it is a symptom of creationists that have lost "faith" or rejected good metaphorical myth like Buddism or Hinduism and have "faith" in something that "could have happened", BUT DIDN'T.. Evolution "faithful" basically believe in partial truth, because some "mental figments" of the "faithful" are proven facts but they "expand" on those facts to fairy tale like deductions and call them facts TOO.. The evolutionists disease is, "WHAT IF"... They throw bullshit agaisnt the wall and whatever sticks... MUST HAVE HAPPENED.. A very dirty business and the "faithful" are very "ripe"..
Know what I mean ?...
