“Then I have to assume that evolution is allegory as well.”
You can assume anything you want. However, if science is allegory, you would have to explain the advancement of the human species since the time of the ancient Egyptians. Of course, you’d be off the hook for the period of religious oppression of science and reason during the dark ages.
Science is verifiable and falsifiable. Faith is neither. Science and faith are not mutually exclusive. Faith is outside the domain of scientific inquiry. Faith and science therefore coexist. Evolution and Christianity are perfectly compatible.
“You can assume anything you want. However, if science is allegory, you would have to explain the advancement...”
Dang it! Can’t evolutionists follow a line of logic past the first couple of words?
What I’m saying is if you:
A. Believe evolution is true
B. Believe all the Word of God is a myth
C. Believe Christianity is based on a myth
D. Believe Christianity and evolution are compatible
then evolution and the bible must both be allegory. Definitive “evidence” of evolution as science preaches it is in no way scientific. There are too many millions of holes in the evolutionary process for it to be anything more than theory... by definition theory does not = proven science.
I tried explaining this to another Evo the other day and he could not follow me either. Please just answer this one question for me.
If evolution is scientific fact then that would conclude there are literally millions of steps from one species to another. If the early species are most primitive and the remaining are more advanced there are millions of more advanced species between the most primitive and the most advanced... say man to monkey or any other range you want to specify. Where are the examples, the living examples... the fossil examples of this? I don’t care about some single missing link. I don’t even believe that would prove anything. Where are the millions of transitionary species?
Inquiring minds want to know.
My faith is verifiable and not falsifiable. Of course I don’t think you’d understand how since your faith appears not to be strong nor true. Science appears to be above faith in your mind.
One of the myriad reasons that my faith is verfiable and not falsifiable is the uniqueness and truthfulness of God’s Word - The Holy Bible. Just study some of the prophecy that has already been fulfilled and was written beforehand - say Psalm 22 - and try to use your scientific process to refute it.
YOU CAN’T, if you are truthful and accurate in your analysis. The supernatural trumps the natural order of things anytime God so desires.
