Narby:"The theory of evolution is irrelevant to the subject of God."
(and goes in to say God could have created evolution)
GLDNGUN: "And that's the problem. God is NOT irrelevant."
I think the problem occurs when people can't, or refuse to, distinguish between the statement he made and the one you attributed to him.
It's so very common, I'm not picking on you. It would just be refreshing to have a thread where people argued only the points that are actually made.
Insisting that one can't believe in God and evolution both is dangerous, IMHO. And accusing evolutionists of being motivated by a desire to sin with impunity is simply unjust.
Evidently you missed my point entirely. He showed his cards when he said "The theory of evolution is irrelevant to the subject of God." Those are HIS words, not mine. I merely quoted him. That is the entire basis and reason for the theory of evolution. It seeks the origins of a universe in which THE EXISTENCE OF GOD IS IRRELEVANT. If you can't see or understand that, I will pray for your eyes to be opened. Yes, anyone and everyone is free to believe in a god that created a universe in a way in which he is irrelevant. I believe in a God that is quite relevant and I believe He was quite relevant in the creation of the universe.
The Bible clearly states that God created the animal life and humans and made them to reproduce after their own kind. Again, you are free to not believe it, and to believe whatever you want.
Nowhere did I "insist that one can't believe in God and evolution". I don't think it's very logical, and requires some pretty nimble mental gymnastics but it's no doubt possible.
And now to quote you..."It's so very common, I'm not picking on you. It would just be refreshing to have a thread where people argued only the points that are actually made."
Touche!
