I did find evolution "convincing" BEFORE I meet Christ.
I don't know a single genuine believer in Christ who accepts evolution.
The author of evolution sure didn't.
What did Charles Darwin himself believe about the role of God in evolution? Darwin expert Neal Gillespie, in his book CHARLES DARWIN AND THE PROBLEM OF CREATION (1974, p. 141), said that "Darwin clearly rejected Christianity and virtually all conventional arguments in defense of the existence of God and human immortality."
In his own autobiography, Darwin admitted that his evolutionary beliefs gradually made the Bible unbelievable to him and said "Thus disbelief crept over me at a very slow rate, but was at last complete. The rate was so slow that I felt no distress, and have never since doubted even for a single second that my conclusion was correct. I can indeed hardly see how anyone ought to wish Christianity to be true."
"I don't know a single genuine believer in Christ who accepts evolution."
How do you determine who is a genuine believer? God wants to know. </sarcasm off>
Darwin was not convinced that the Christian dogma of his day was true. Also, Darwin lost a son and was angry at God.
"If sound science appears to contradict the Bible, we may be sure that it is our interpretation of the Bible that is at fault." Christian Observer, 1832, pg. 437
"Christians should look on evolution simply as the method by which God works." Rev. James McCosh, theologian and President of Princeton, 1890
Whenever the church has determined that a certain passage means a certain scientific idea it has run into trouble. If you still believe the Sun revolves around the Earth or
the Earth is flat, then go ahead and believe the peculiar idea that God is so stupid he had to create everything separately and do it in less than 6000 years with some kind of flood intervening destroying everything. Yes, that will get you into Heaven through works of your mind.
If Christian faith revolves around nonsense, it is no wonder that most of Europe has rejected it and it is under attack here.
Sure you do, lots of them.
Merry Christmas!
