Should seem to be too obvious. But here goes.
A great many conservative Christians reject the theory of evolution because it conflicts with the Bible.
Now this is, IMO, a position that can be argued. But it is not possible to argue that the vast majority of scientific evidence does not point towards the truth that evolution takes place. Without evolution the whole notion of living things being organized into hierarchies of “related” organisms makes no sense.
Personally, I believe God created life and the evolutionary process. I see it as the equivalent in biology of free will in sentient beings.
God could have created spirit beings and humans with no free will. But he didn’t. He apparently wanted friends, not slaves, and was interested in having things happen other than what he directly caused to happen.
I see similar mechanisms in evolution, though I don’t discount the possibility that he could of course intervene in the process when he chose. Evolution was the method God chose to use to create the wild diversity of life we see around us.
I realize a lot of Christians disagree, and I respect their opinions. I just think they are wrong.
So you choose to argue w/God? His Word is to be BELIEVED and not argued with.
Without evolution the whole notion of living things being organized into hierarchies of “related” organisms makes no sense.
We are to BELIEVE as it is written and 'NOT lean unto your own understanding' despite what 'natural evidence' you think there is and/or what doesn't 'make sense'. You really think with your natural mind you can understand the supernatural things of God? That is PRIDE!
Jesus says...'only believe'. You can be argumentative all you want, disobedient and prideful - it will get you nowhere and/or somewhere you don't want to be.
It doesn't take faith to 'see' something in the natural.
"Without faith no one can please God."
Who are you trying to please?
