I guess it's a matter of where you place your faith. I trust in God. You trust in science.

I just think that it's ironic when Evolutionists deride those that have faith in Creationism / Intelligent Design, when they (Evolutionists) make up for the lack of scientific evidence with faith.

It is quite ironic. It takes more faith to believe the lie of evolution, which has NO evidential standing, than to believe in a little thing called EVIDENCE! Evidence supports the biblical account of creation. Interesting, how there exists NO evidence of one species becoming another species in the fossil record. Some people point to Archeopteryx, not only has this myth been debunked, but now bird fossils have now been found dating back to the late Triassic!!! You don't (and won't) read about this in the popular journals, that's for sure. And how about those hoaxes of "Piltdown Man", later found to be the skull of an Orangutan with the teeth filed down (the filing marks were still fresh), oh yeah, and how about "Nebraska Man", that one turned out to be a.... get this... pig's tooth, out of which the "Scientific community" built a prehistoric predecessor of modern man. Or how about "Peking Man", one might ask. Well if you are willing to build a subhuman ancestor out of a single skull cap (not the entire skull, mind you, just a piece of bone), well then, I guess we should call that an incredible piece of scientific work. Never mind that nearly complete, modern human skeletons were found in the same strata, within 50 yards of the "Peking Man's" skull cap.

Those who won't believe in creation, are simply holding on to the little comforts of life. Not having to answer to a higher power gives them a great sense of freedom, after all, admitting there's a God would mean admitting they are sinners in need of a Saviour. People like their sin, it's in their nature. What they don't realize is that their sin will mean their ultimate demise.

I'll pray for all of you who find it difficult to admit in the existence of God (despite the evidence that He does exist) right now, and hopefully, at least some of you, will see the error you are spreading, and BLINDLY believing. You see, believing in evolution is a BLIND belief, it says "I'll believe it, even without a shred of evidence to support it".

You believe what you want, I'll believe in the evidence...

Bless you,

Jeff

> (Evolutionists) make up for the lack of scientific evidence with faith.

I'm breaking my rule of never posting on an evolutionist thread... but it is only peripherally related. Talking with my liberal hyper-atheist (former) carpool-mate, I would ask "if you don't believe in God, why is murder wrong?" His answer starts on the lines of "because it's the right thing."

"What defines right and wrong, without a Creator?" I ask.

His answer morphs into "society works better when people follow the Golden Rule." I admit to him that I too think society works well with such a rule, but point out, historically, that it is not the only rule of societal governance that is self sustaining, stable, promotes the advancement of culture, etc. (all the things that otherwise appeals to liberals).

In the end, he is forced to emphatically insist (i.e., by way of faith) that a Christian morality society is the "proper" way a society to function, except for all that God mumbo-jumbo.

Incidentally, he is a religious Darwinist, as well. So, you are right that such people also adhere to articles of faith, though they refuse to admit it.
