You're obviously not clear on what science is all about. It's not about "leaps of faith". It's about following the evidence, seeing what fits and what doesn't, and doing reality checks on all of one's ideas and presumptions.
Goodness, it's been so discredited.
Oh really? Tell us how. This ought to be... interesting.
I suppose what amazes me is the lengths one will go to to deny the Judeo Christian God
You haven't the first clue what I'm about -- nor can you seem to wrap your mind around the concept of the countless Christians who accept that evolution fits the evidence better than anything else.
It just strikes me as funny - the vanity and ego of your kind.
Look, son, *you're* the one with enough "vanity and ego" to think that you have me all figured out, when you've managed to be wrong on every guess so far.
There are a lot of decent Christians in the world, but unfortunately there are a small subset of Christians who seem to enjoy their faith mostly as an excuse for self-congratulatory superior self-righteousness and a platform from which to insult people who displease them.
If your faith is such a good thing, try being a better example of it.
Truly, you grieve God by failing to use your God given brain.
Something does not come out of nothing as evolutions wish so desperately to believe. Faulty dating systems don't add substance to your wild claims either.
Of course you don't wish to admit that your premise is that this is all there is hence, no role for the Judeo Christian God. According to you, He just couldn't get His act together. He needed millions and millions of years, or is it billions now to create an ape. The odds of that happening defy common sense alone. The human body did not evolve by chance. It is incredibily sophisticated and egotistical doctors still don't understand its complexity. Yet, you wish to believe all this popycock because it suits your atheist outlook.
Those "Christians" who believe in evolution are NOT Christians. It's just a label they like to apply so they feel good about themselves.
The Bible makes it VERY clear that all we see and don't see was created in seven, twenty-four hour days. This is what God says through the Hebrew. There is NO confusion on that and neither is there confusion that He is NOT an ape. Humans were made in Hisimage as stated in the Bible. To date there have been NO transitional animal to human bones found so He is validated.
Actually, this is precisely true of YOU:
"mostly as an excuse for self-congratulatory superior self-righteousness and a platform from which to insult people who displease them."
You see your platform is atheism. And you can't stand it when someone disagrees with you or doesn't compromise. Till the day I die, I won't compromise on God and His word. What is comforting to me is that eveidence validates ALL He says. SO truth, whether it be Biblical or scientific only enhances my faith.
"If your faith is such a good thing, try being a better example of it."
I am being a "better example" of it. I stick to truth and do NOT compromise to make people feel good. It is you who desperately needs help in the spiritual department. I have NO intention on being a compromised Christian. To do so and buy into evolution calls the Judeo Christian God a liar. This is not a possibility.
