The creationists also have an agenda.
Everyone has an agenda.
Why couldn’t God have given us evolution?
Why are these considered mutually exclusive by narrow minds on both sides?
***Why couldn’t God have given us evolution?***
Actually sakic, it is an untenable position for a Christian.... and for many reasons. Not the least of which is this:
Mark 10:6-7 says: 6 But from the beginning of the creation, God ‘made them male and female.’ 7 ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife
John 1, Colossians 1 and Hebrews 1 all tell us that Jesus Christ is the Creator. So in this passage, the Creator of the universe told the Pharisees that He created man and woman “from the beginning of Creation.”
If you look up “beginning” in Strong’s Concordance it sends you to the appendix. In other words, according to Strong’s, the definition of beginning is so obvious that they see no reason to define it.
Mark 10:6 leaves no room for a Christian to hold to evolution. If Christ is your Savior, belief in evolution is tantamount to calling Him a liar (based on this passage).
” The creationists also have an agenda.”
That’s true, and it’s also true that every one has an agenda - of course. But I referred to a HIDDEN agenda - a means to obfuscate or fool people.
Science agenda is to seek the truth - wherever it may lead - even God and the supernatural. To exclude those possibilities as causes limits its potential for knowledge.
A couple books I read recently that I found intellectually honest in the area of evolution are “Signature in the cell” and “Darwin’s doubt” by Stephen Meyer.
Because evolution is not true.
