Why are so many so certain that God would not have used evolution for his creation process?
As Isaiah quoted God, “My thoughts are not your thoughts.”
Evolution is natural man’s thoughts.
Good post billy, lots of us believers in Jesus Christ believe this.

Was that your best shot at a verse to back up your own beliefs?
You can do better than that, but in the meantime you have to toss out the entire book of Genesis along with most of the rest of the Bible.

Because irt takes a GREATER faith to beleive in a process that is biologically, mathematically, chemically, and naturally impossible than it does to beleive God said exactly what He meant- When God looked aroudn hte garden for a mate for Adam, and found none- How long would Adam have had to wait while Macroevolution beat al lthe impossible odds against it (Which aren’t just trivial improbabilities, but SERIOUS odds)? Did he live billions of years while Eve ‘evolved from goo? Or did God itnentionally lie to us all when He said Adam had no mate, and that He put Adam to sleep and made Him a mate, and then awoke Adam? How are you goign to explain this away?
AMEN!
I like Sir Isaac Newton: "Nature's Laws are God's thoughts." I wouldn't expect brightboy Coyne here to understand.

Well, if God's thoughts are not man's thoughts, then man's thoughts about evolution are wrong cause God told us in Genesis that He spoke creation into existence.
I just love how evos say that religion has no place in Scripture and that you can't prove God and then turn around and try to use Scripture to support evolution.
How about cuz the Bible says so...
From my standpoint, two reasons: 1) He didn't need it; and most importantly, 2) the Bible says nothing about it.

Great quote. Apropos of it, when satan was trying to tempt God, the former said: "Prove you're God by changing these stones into bread". The Latter could have said, "Who needs stones? I can make bread out of bread, or I can make bread out of nothing." Instead He said, "It is written...", and insisted that the higher priority is the Word of God -- which, again, says nothing about evolution (or the changing of rocks into people).
Thanks for the thought-provoking post.
Exactly. The real issue is evolution is used to deny the existence of God. So many people of faith attack evolution when the attack should be on the denial. Evolution is just a red herring and if it didn't exist, some other specious argument would be used.
I remember an atheist friend telling me once that even though he had no belief, he still thought himself a moral person. I asked him if he came to these moral beliefs through reason. He said no. Then how I asked? Family, culture or innately he supposed. I then asked how his family and culture got those moral beliefs or how they could spring up "a priori". At that he said he would have to think about it some more.(#)
Well said.

Christians believe in Jesus Christ. He is documented in “The New Testament”. He clearly believed the “Old Testament” which gives a clear timeline from the first man and woman, and provides geo-historical information such as the global flood.
In Genesis (in the Old Testament) it is told how the first man and woman sinned. They were perfect before that. It is not known how they could have sinned, being sinless. But it is related that they did. God had warned them that death would come if they sinned. Since they had immortal souls, their physical death (while terrible) would not end their consciousness. Unfortunately having sinned they would be separated from God forever. But God promised that He would take their sins from them, in Jesus. This is what happened between Good Friday (death) and Easter (resurrection).
Evolution not only posits a timeline that would tend to make that of the Bible irrelevant - much worse, it builds everything on death. Millions of years of death without regard to sin and judgement. That is not what the Bible says. Christians believe in Jesus Christ, who is God and man at one time. The only real information on Jesus is in the Bible. Jesus clearly believed the Old Testament.
