[[What do you need to have civil discussion with someone who has doesn’t share your religious beliefs?]]
Well let’s see- somethign other than the snide comments like
“There is no contradiction between evolution and religious faith. There is no threat to the bible in the concept or actuality of evolution. There is no need to defend Genesis against evolution. Creationists are just so afraid we all become godless if we don’t believe all the allegories and parables in the bible are literal. Oh ye of little faith! There is nothing to worry about!!! God created evolution. Rest in that and stop making asses of yourselves. You are as backwards as flat earthers!”
Start a civil discussion- and I’ll respond in like manner- Act liek a kid, and I’ll expose the assininity of the childish comments levelled agaisnt Creationists- pretty simple really-
I respect anyone’s right to dissagree- but what I do NOT respect is hwen they act liek a child and keep bringing FALSE ACCUSATIONS and insults to the table along with hteir beleifs- present the beleif in a respectful manner, and we’ll have a perfectly civil conversation
And by the way- what You quoted me stating IS civil- You MUST so manipulate hte word of God in order to beleive macoreovlution andthe bible aren’t in confl;ict- this is a fact- this isn’t a psurious statement.
In order beleive God used evolution- you must beleive God created evil, and that man was simply hte hapless victim of evil, and NOT the perpetrator, and therefore there woudl be no need for a Savior because man was not at fault for sin. God didn’t create evil- He allowed free will, and man brought sin and death upon himself willfully- hence the need for propitiation
The doctrine of theistic evolution undermines the very basic premisses, and key concepts of hte bible, and it must do so in order to justify their beleif- Pointing this out is not being uncivil- it’s beign factual- if someoen stil lwishes to beleive it after beign given the facts, then whatever- but challenging someone’s unbiblical beleifs is not being uncivil
