Creationism is the belief that God created the world and all that is in it. It says that he did it in 6 literal days and on the seventh day, he deigned a rest day for man. Creationism says that death did not enter the world until Adam and Eve plunged the world into error (sin) and that this explains why all die to this day.

The evolutionist believes that death is natural and a mechanism for species change and believes therefore that death will always the norm.

For the Creationist, the God who warned Adam and Eve not to commit this act, afterwords provided a way of salvation (the bruising of the serpents head - done on the cross by the Lord Jesus Christ) and life eternal, just as God had planned.

The Evolutionist believes that there is no life after death and therefore can rape and pillage as his inclination desires. The believer, on the other hand, through the scripture, knows the result of this and is compelled to live virtuously since death will be done away with.

Which do you choose?

That's just a vile slur. Does your religion teach that you can lie as your inclination desires?

Goodness! Which evolutionist did you have in mind when you wrote that. You are aware, are you not, that many Christians also believe that evolution is the method by which new species are created?

Your entire statement is incorrect on its face. I can understand why you won't be testifying in this case.

Don't make bogus generalizations. You only expose your ignorance when you do.

You've set up a meaningless either/or. I choose neither. When you cease fundamentally misstating the evolutionist position, maybe you'll get an answer.

This argument is one of the most ridiculous arguments that can be made. Perhaps you would rape and pillage if you lost your belief in a God, but no 'evolutionist' I know would do such a thing. If you presume no God, as I and other atheists do, the basis for the morals of the Bible and our personal morals come from the same place - DNA, culture and our ability to predict outcomes, and are therefore similar.

Gee...I'm a deist who thinks that evolution is the best explanation we have for the origin and diversity of species....um, do I still get to rape and pillage? Or am I confined to things like petty larceny? Could you provide me with some sort of permit for that? I mean, I haven't committed any crimes yet, so I'm not sure how your system is supposed to work, you know?

Would not have believed it if someone told me. Still having hard time believing my own eyes, that you actually think along these lines. What difficulties you must have mingling with common folk, seeing as you walk on water and stuff.

Oh please. That is one of the silliest things I've read yet on FR.

This accounts for the well known fact that there were no wars anywhere in the world prior to the publication of Origin of Species.

The one factor you haven't considered is how tiring it can be to rape and pillage all day. Sometimes I prefer to just lie on on weekends.

I'm an evolutionist and I don't believe that.

Hitler was a believer who used scripture to justify his murder and mayhem. How do you explain that?

Which do you choose?

I'll choose truth, thank you.

Please let us all know if you ever get a crisis of faith. Perhaps you should also notify your local police department that the only thing stopping you from venturing on a life of rapine and slaughter is your religious beliefs. They may want to keep a close eye on you.

Am I to understand that the only reason that believers don't rape and pillage is because of a fear of what will happen to them in the afterlife?

[little jeremiah]

And fervid believers in evolution cannot handle the tiniest bit of criticism, one must swallow the entire cathecism whole or be labeled a crank, knuckle dragging uneducated drooling idiot - even "wicked".

There is no possibility of rational debate with evolution fundamentalists.

Please cite where the Modern Synthesis of evolutionary theory states that (1) there is no life after death or (2) that raping and pillaging are morally permissable.

Because if you can't, I'm going to call you a liar.

What utter nonsense. No wonder creationists are not taken seriously by reasonable people. Some creationists use stupid statements like these that actually demonstrate their own bizarre imagination.

I seem to recall a commandment forbidding one from bearing false witness against a neighbor. Perhaps I was mistaken.
