Anglican leader opposes creationism in schools

So many nominal Christians are getting suckered into anti-God cults like Evolution, and Reincarnation. By the time they find out the truth it will be too late for them.

Do you mean that if somebody accepts evolution, he will go to Hell when he dies?

[Paleo Conservative]

What about the Anglican primates?

By Gad, I think you've got it.

[furball4paws]

Well, I'll be there to greet you :-)

It surely doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that today's "leaders" of many of the mainstream Christian (and,I suspect,Jewish) denominations are,in fact,atheists.

That's a hilarious statement...and it's ridiculous too. I'd like to see you try to substantiate this and name names.

Becareful, the evil overlord Xenu may sue you!

"When I wrote an article saying there were no creationists in Britain, they both wrote to me."

Actually, there are three, but one can't write.

"Sorry,can't argue matters of religion with an atheist."

If you watch the video linked to in this post, you'll see the exact same comment made by GSC in here, being made by a guy wearing a black hat.

Funny how religions stick together.

So, if you accept the scientific validity of evolution, you are, perforce, an atheist?

[Luis Gonzalez]

"Sorry,can't argue matters of religion with an atheist."

So your ministry addresses only those who need no ministering?

Nope,not necessarily.

But it's nonsensical.

It's a common position among liberal church pastors and leaders who, despite all the trappings, probably don't read the Bible.

Actually, I think this underscores how creationists associate evolutionists with liberals. Not even counting the number of libs pushing evolution as a way to discredit Christianity, evolution is generally something that a great number of 'Christians' who think they're Christians because they go to church on Sunday (but subsequently act like the devil Monday through Saturday) tend to support. Rowan Williams is a good example of this. He's involved in druidism and paganism, which suggests he doesn't really believe the things in the Bible, or more likely, he wants the Bible to say something else so he ignores the parts of it that are inconvenient for him.

Don't get me wrong. There are some on fire Christians who accept evolution. But there are very, very few athiestic church attenders who call themselves Christians that subscribe to creationism and almost all of these accept evolution. It's not a two-way correlation (can't remember the term for that; it's been a few years since prob & stat back in the dark ages when I was a freshman in college).

I tend to think your personal motives aren't political. But it is an objective fact that the left is using evolution as a club against the church. Combine that with the fact that evos won't allow discussion of anything that might suggest something other than evolution in a school. It really leaves evos looking like left-wing nanny staters. And in many cases, it's true.

Sorry,can't argue matters of religion with an atheist.Other matters,sure....but not religion.

Many of the fundamentalists here claim that atheism is a religion. If that is the case, shouldn't atheists be able to argue matters of religion?

Compared to spending eternity in a Heaven filled with gloating True Christians, it looks like another reason to Accept Darwin

[Junior]

Then why did you make the comment you did?

[Luis Gonzalez]

"But it is an objective fact that the left is using evolution as a club against the church."

"Truth is great and will prevail if left to herself." -- Thomas Jefferson

"Combine that with the fact that evos won't allow discussion of anything that might suggest something other than evolution in a school."

Why on Earth would you want to give the School boards, the NEA, and secular teachers in general the ability to posit Biblical Creation as a theory, rather than a truth, to school children?

That's going backward.

[blowfish]

But it is an objective fact that the left is using evolution as a club against the church.

Yeah: look at all the lawsuits the Darwinists have filed, clamoring to get Darwinism presented alongside the sermons at local churches.

"Before you jump in with both feet, there's some things you need to know about Dr Rowan Williams.

"He's a flaming left-winger. He supports the homosexual agenda. He favors palestinians more than Israelis. He's very pro-UN. There is not a liberal cause he's met that he didn't like.

"So know that you are associating yourself with a flaming liberal before you dig in too deep.

What does any of the above have to do with the issue at hand?

This is nothing but an attempt to 'poison the well'; not a very good argument.

Same old Creationists lies misstatements.
