It's evidently clear who's afraid of the Truth!
Are you also saying that God stops a population from further adapting to its environment, resulting in its eventual extinction?
I haven't time to read the whole thread now, so I may be echoing others, but who does this guy think thought up this ingenious plan, whereby life adapts to change? Just the way the human body adapts to change--in diet, environment, injury, illness, etc. There is a lesson in creation and how it works. It is not a one-time-only thing and then finished. Neither are our lives. We don't get off the hook that easy, and besides, that's what makes it all interesting. I'd like to meet the one who invented evolution sometime.
"Sometimes made mistakes."
That's the difference in our views. No need to belabor the other points. That's the only one that matters.
Only when they want to prop up said texts in a SCIENCE CLASSROOM. Wonder how you guys would feel if WE came to YOUR church and insisted everyone read Evolution of Species, because "all the alternatives to Creation should be explored"?
But, yes, Darwinism is Anti-God. It calls God a liar. Plain and simple.
No. Some people that believe in evolution are atheists. Some are quite spiritual (perhaps even more than YOU! -gasp-). The theory itself, WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LIFE'S ORIGIN, also has nothing to do with God. As do ALL scientific theories.
You don't have a leg to stand on. I don't think anyone disputes that God inspired the Bible, and that God is perfect.
God is perfect, but he used imperfect men to accomplish His goal. He doesn't make us work against our nature.
Nope. Lots of people do.
The Great Flood that Moses survived, its a term of endearment that I've been using for as far as I remember.
Yes they are of a kind. There is no dispute that adaptations take place. I refer to those adaptations as micro-evolution.
Fair enough. I'm not Christian, but I do believe the Bible relates the spiritual concepts it's meant to illustrate. And, as prviously mentioned, the two are not mutually exclusive.
I do. The first, at least; I don't consider it worthwhile to contest the attributes of a being whose very existence is unproven.
Like I said, you have no leg to stand on and that was self-evident in your nonsensical response. God is perfect and does everything perfectly. Yes the humans are imperfect, but God's inspiration to write the Chapters of the Bible was perfectly done.
Humanists have always tried to replace God with themselves.
So, if enough adaptations crop up in one, separate population, of a species, such that it is no longer genetically compatible with other populations, wouldn't this be "macro-evolution?"
I will pray for you.
Knock yourself out.
According to the Old Testament, Pi is equal to EXACTLY 3.
Now, either the human beings writing the Bible got that wrong, or God did.
Who screwed up there, please?
Yes the humans are imperfect, but God's inspiration to write the Chapters of the Bible was perfectly done.
See above. Somewhere, somebody hosed a galley proof. Who do we blame? The scribes, or God Himself?
IMHO, it does not. If that were true, wouldn't we have a lot of weird fossils? Wouldn't the DNA fo the elephant be like or similar to an ant?
Many people believe that God throws a red herring once in a while, just to test our faith. Another red herring, the Big Bang!
