1) Evolution is "JUST" a theory (implying that it has no scientific backing)
You never heard that from me. I think evolution has abundant scientific backing. I am an evolutionist, on scientific and personal experience/observational grounds.
2) The Second Law of Thermodynamics makes evolution impossible. (along with all their fake science distortions of entropy.)
Au contraire, mon chere — but according to new sources I’ve read, thermodynamic entropy and information in living systems are directly, synergistically, and thus most intimately correlated terms.
3) Schools teach evolution as fact, not theory.
Schools (it seems to me) teach whatever is “politically correct.” Schools ought not to be ideologically driven; but there you are. You can’t even blame the local school board for this state of affairs. It is the parents who are generally derelict in their duty here.
4) Man descended from the ape.
But what would be the meaning of such “descent,” assuming it happened in the first place? How definite are species categories anyway? Are they exact, or merely descriptive of general tendencies? Is all of Nature really driven by the urge to reproduce such that Nature puts all her resources into this direction alone? Does anyone think that this is what Darwin really meant to suggest?
5) There is no fossil evidence of evolution.
Well, how could there be? Fossils don’t “last forever.” With fossils, it’s always a case of “catch as catch can.” You never see what you never found. But according to the theorists, evolution does last forever. So it seems we need to be looking for a kind of “forever-qualified” evidence, rather than this fleeting, temporal, fragile stuff like fossils, skeletons, etc., in order to place Darwinism on a firm footing.
6) It is impossible for the Colorado River to have carved the Grand Canyon.
Oh? Why is that? Nature has her way with material things in the long run, and has a certain way of going about it. This is what makes Nature "observable" in the first place.
7) There is no evidence that the humans existed prior to 6000 years ago.
Well, of course there is. Have you never heard of the Caves at Lascaux, in the French-Spanish Pyranees? They are said to be a human community habitation dating back some 40,000 years…. Lots of "art" -- i.e, paintings of natural figures -- on the walls....
8) Radiometric dating is a false science used by evolutionists.
I doubt that statement in general. But then everybody needs to get his instrument calibrated right, from time to time. :^)
9) Genesis is true therefore evolution is false (no, we will never get by this one).
Genesis is true, and Darwinian evolution also is true as far as it goes. But it does not go everywhere. It leaves out the origin of life, and life’s manner of transmission into material forms. Seems that’s a whole lot to be left out, assuming we want to know the truth about life in the first place.
10) All non-Christians are doomed to hell.
I’ve heard some Christians say this. I’ve also heard Muslims say similar things about their non-coreligionists. Etc. Another story for another time. Point for now is, this Christian doesn’t say such a thing. And wouldn’t.
11) Enough for now.
Amen! And Praise the Lord! And may He bless you extravagantly, dear Wild Turkey.
About as smarmy a piece of writing as I've seen in a while. Congrats, BB. Are you a lawyer?
Indeed you have...........
I wonder why??
John 14:6
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. "
17. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
18. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.
"I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.
47. "As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it.
48. There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day.
18. Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men.
19. For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
1. Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
2. because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.
When we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world.
11. And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
13. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.
But not contradictory.
I’ve heard some Christians say this. I’ve also heard Muslims say similar things about their non-coreligionists. Etc. Another story for another time. Point for now is, this Christian doesn’t say such a thing. And wouldn’t.
Really. Some of the "Christians" right here have told me that I am doomed to hell for not being a Christian.
