Actually, I tend to believe in evolution, and that it is all part of God's plan.
Funny how so many who take evolution as an article of faith constantly try to alter our behavior to prevent global warming or whatever the useful environemtal meme of the day is. If evolution works as advertised, will a 2 degree change in the earth's temperature really cause mass extinctions? Wouldn't the most adaptable species prosper, while those that are less adaptable will either migrate, die out, or evolve? If evolution is such a basic scientific principle, who are we to attempt to halt it?
They constantly preach the awesome power of nature, all the while trying to convince us to freeze nature in stasis like a fly in amber.
Science deals with the physical world and the 5 senses. Anything past that world (creationism, Intelligent Design, Global warming, etc.) are not science, but metaphysics.
Science depends on an objective study of verifiable phenomena. Any speculation as to the cause or the moral correctness of said phenomena are beliefs and belong only to philosophical discussions of a metaphysical nature.Religion begins where science ends.
None of this objective evidence is denial of God, IMHO.
according to Hank Hanegraaff:
Under the banner of "theistic evolution," a growing number of Christians maintain that God used evolution as His method for creation. This, in my estimation, is the worst of all possibilities.
It is one thing to believe in evolution, it is quite another to blame God for it. Not only is theistic evolution a contradiction in terms -- like the phrase flaming snowflakes -- but as we have seen, it is also the cruelest, most inefficient system for creation imaginable….
The most significant consequence, however, is that [evolution] undermines the very foundation of Christianity. If indeed evolution is reflective for the laws of science, then Genesis must be reflective of the flaws of Scripture. And if the foundation of Christianity is flawed, the superstructure is destined to fall.
Does God have to make millions of mistakes along the way to have fellowship with you and me?
By killing God, evolutionists kill that which gave rise to our Western Culture, namely Christianity. By killing Western Culture...
To control the present is to control the past and, hence, the future of mankind.
There has never been a "Transitional" Species discovered.
(Reptile to Bird etc.)...archiopterix was a fully developed Bird.
If Evolution is True the Fossil record should have Millions of "Transitional Fossils"
as there are many Fossils of Fully separate Species.
Yet there are No "Transitional" ones....NONE.
Evolution is a False "God".
Yes. My personal philosophy has room for both though I must admit I have serious problems with orthodox religion and True Believers in general whether sacred or secular.
Dawkins himself is a perfect example of the latter. Read his "The Selfish Gene" sometime and tell me whether it requires more faith to believe his version of human "creation" or that in the Bible. To me they are indistinguishable.
Yes, and these people are idiots. They believe that the first day (24 hour) came before the sun was created. And, much more... Perhaps it is some sort of a "natural selection" selection process in and of itself.
