“I do appreciate intelligent and constructive comments and feedback. “
I do as well. One of the reasons that I post so infrequently is the acid-tongue responses from some on this forum who can’t make a lucid argument so they insult someone who is.
“As such all is predicated on existence of God. It affirms the compatibility of Science and Scripture as both being authored by God.”
I totally agree.
“Evolution is only the process, created by God, by which God introduced and guided the life and the ascent of Man in a dynamic universe.”
I need to ask you a couple of questions:
1. How do you handle Jesus’ words in Mark 10:6? He obviously says man and woman were created “at the beginning”. If evolution is true then Jesus is lying or wrong....either of which would cast doubt on all of scripture.
2. Creation by death (which is what evolution really would entail) is incapatible with the character of God. How do you explain that.
“Some on this forum consider my position blasphemous”
My take is that you are wrong.....on what do you base your belief that God designed and created by the use of evolution?
As long as you are civil in this discussion, I’ll hang in there with you. If the flames come out this discussion will be over.
As a believer in Intelligent Design I believe that God's plan, from the beginning, was to create man and woman. I do not have a problem with God's patience or process He used. Jesus also spoke to those not yet born, is there any difference?
Creation by death (which is what evolution really would entail) is incapatible with the character of God. How do you explain that.
I rationalize that as being no different than believing that my parents, grandparents, great grandparents, great-great-grandparents, etc. had to live and die so that I could be born.
