They should argue whether stairs go both up and down.
Definite articles or indefinite articles? Don’t they all go back to Anglo-Saxon words?
Well I read all that but still ain’t sure what it is exactly you’re trying to get at here lol.
Replace the word author with creator
And then you have an evolutionist versus creationism argument and it’s amazing how atheists will use this argument to claim a creator does not exist but rather we evolved
Proving the thesis. It is better already.
There are other documents that disprove the theory. Biblical texts, especially from the Old Testament, the Jewish Bible, are unchanged for 2500 years. Not a letter has changed. They have remained absolutely unchanged for millennia. Similarly the laws of creation are absolutely unchanged for eternity.
(”wander”, not “wonder”)
I read that line too - just woke up after an early morning (for me). Wow went right past it.
Using someone else’s desk at work a few weeks ago, I noticed a large note taped to their desk.
I kept looking at the bold underlined word - “you must do this accept blah blah blah”.
I kept trying to make heads or tails of the note. It just didn’t make sense.
Then I realized that they didn’t mean you “accept” the condition - it should have been “except” - then the note made sense.
I have no problem with accepting that God imbued Creation with evolutionary mechanisms. It makes sense. (And I’m not an atheist.)
Main stream science supports that the universe was created billions of years ago. This science may be wrong, but there are two camps that need it to be wrong in order to be correct:
1) Young-Earth Creationists, who need to show the universe was created only a few thousand years ago.
2) Materialists/Atheists/Naturalists, who need to show the universe was not created.
The argument between these two camps to see which main stream science supports seems silly. It supports neither. But again, main stream science in such matters is speculative and may change.
The standard argument against intelligent design is nothing more than playing with words. It goes ‘That’s “religion”, therefore it’s not “science”, and therefore not a valid alternative to evolution’.
Then you don’t believe GOD created.
Did HE bring Jesus back to life? Did he heal the deaf, lame, and blind? If so, how can he then not create what you see in such a way as to confuse those who want to live a life away from him into believing the lies of Satan.
Did we evolve as humans also? Thus you then disagree with the Biblical account and with God. One cannot have it both ways. Either He told the truth or HE lied, if HE lied then he is not the perfect GOD we worship.
By the way, the event of Mt St Helens shows us how a short event can make the earth seem like millions of years old.
Both. They had to be created before they can evolve, but conditions can make them evolve. If they are unable to evolve their likelihood is that they will become extinct. So, there is a creator. 🙂
Seems like a rather convoluted way to make that case, but whatever.
What makes you think that God didn’t incorporate evolutionary mechanisms into Creation?
I am not a ‘fundamentalist’. If you don’t want responses from people who think somewhat differently than you do, use a Caucus designation.
Because God created everything in 6 days. That is not enough time for evolution to happen.
After every day God said this is good. Thus death, destruction, and misery that is needed for evolution is not good.
But, but, but using the evolutionist understanding, meens it just happened like life.
You must obviously believe in an “Author”.
So your an authorist, and that takes faith, so you cannot know what you are talking about.
What makes you think He did?
Also, if you claim to be a Christian, but are not a fundamentalist, then you are not a Christian, because you fundamentally disagree with what Jesus taught.
If you are not a Christian, but believe in GOD, then you are not a believer in the GOD of the Bible if you are not a fundamentalist.
Fundamentalism means you believe in that which makes it what it is. Without believing in the fundamentals of math, you will never be able to build anything, how can you have a faith in a GOD if you disagree with the fundamentals of what the One truly GOD has espoused since time began?
Other you believe in GOD via the fundamentals of what the Bible teaches or you are either an atheist, or a false god worshiper.
Cannot have it both ways.
