Giants do not exist.
The argument that Darwin is right and that evolution is how we became thinking, feeling humans is unimaginative, unproven hocum.
Young earth theory...ditto.
My Pastor believes in theistic evolution ... it seems to be a popular PCA heresy these days
This has the potential to be a ‘Five Figure’ thread !!!
We have come to realize that only adult species can produce offspring of its kind. Recently scientists in England ‘discovered’ that the chicken came first - the egg just cannot appear. Biblical Christians knew that from Genesis 1 - thousands of years ago.
All scientists know the first and second Laws of Thermodynamics; thus, they realize that life CANNOT come from non-life. They also realize that things move from order to disorder not the other way around.
EXCEPT in their theory of evolution - which they have not been able to repeat in the lab. So much for science.
Also, in the Greek language there are at least three words for life - one refers to the body, one to the mind, and one to the spirit/soul of man.
Evolutionists only speak of ‘bios’ the body. They don’t even have answers as to how we acquired our minds and the ability to think abstractly. They don’t have answers to the heart (conscience or enthusiasm and vitality in life.)
I believe that takes a much bigger leap of faith to believe in evolution than it does to belive in God and special creation.
Kind of hard to get past the fact that speciation has never been observed and so is not established as factual.
And I don’t know why a pastor would want to bend his beliefs merely so they will fit an antiquated proposition which is defied by the fossil record.
Can you reconcile Mohler and your relativity of time and location theory?
The creation-evolution conflict in historical perspective
http://evolutionarychristianity.com/blog/general/ted-davis-the-creation-evolution-conflict-in-historical-perspective/
The funniest thing about theistic evolution is that Christians who buy into it think they’re being logical and sophisticated, but they are then worshipping a Lord descended from a fictional character. The Bible places Adam in Jesus’ geneaology...
Albert Mohler is right!

The idea that the creation of the universe proceeded by purely natural means with no "interference"(???) from the Creator is based on extrapolation from our knowledge of present processes. That is, the formation of stars, galaxies, volcanoes, and canyons allegedly tell us exactly how the universe came into existence at the beginning of time. Similarly, the way babies are conceived and born allegedly tells us exactly how the "first man" came into existence.
Though full of unfounded assumptions, this is well and good if one is going to be internally consistent. Atheist evolutionists can do this. But "theistic" evolutionists cannot. "Theistic" evolutionists inevitably arbitrarily deviate from this model at any number of places. Orthodox Jewish evolutionists deviate from it when it comes to the splitting of the Red Sea or the Revelation at Sinai (both of which are impossible via purely natural law as observable today). Chr*stian evolutionists, while insisting that Adam must have been conceived and born exactly as all humans are today, deviate from this to believe in the scientifically impossible "virgin birth." There is also the conundrum that the same G-d Who allegedly would never have "interfered"(???) with the natural process of creation has done nothing but interfere with the functioning of the universe since that time. In short, "theistic" evolutionists are not and cannot be internally consistent on this issue.
Ultimately it all boils down to the sociological issue of "us" vs. "them." "Our" miracles are sublime and inspirational and worthy of belief by the greatest intellects while "their" miracles are for "trailer trash."
There is absolutely nothing more to add to this.
They work hard everyday to deny the very foundational principle of our nation.
They all hate the American foundational assumption that we are "endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights"
They will lie and spin and deny, but in the end they will all come out of the closet to admit they reject that foundational principle just as they reject our Constitution.
I have been watching the left slowly become bolder in this admission for decades, always hedging their bets in case admission of their guilt would not yet be palatable.
The closet leftist revisionists on Free Republic will join them in their coming out of the closet, always painting historic American views on such things as the greatest of evils.
What a goofball this guy is.
These inerrancy types love to throw around the terms liberal and conservative. But they consider you a “liberal” if you don’t believe their centralized authority (in direct opposition to baptist tradition) and a 4000 year old earth,,,you are a “liberal”.
People would be surprised at some of the old school Texas baptists that woke up to find they were actually liberals. SB Seminary used to be respected.
Well, he’s right that the theory of evolution is more than an explanation of evidence. From day one, it has been an overarching theory of the universe. Theistic evolution counters this with still another myth, which is something like Teilhard de Chardin’s view of things.
They'll throw out a ton of meaningless, memorized propaganda mentally copied from the same predictable sources.
Then at the end, you get a ridiculous attempt at QED:
9/11 Truther: "Do you just believe everything you're told? Fire can't melt steel! It's impossible!"
Moon Landing Conspiracy Guy: "How did we get through the Van Allen Belts? Explain that! It's impossible! And there's no wind on the moon, so how was the flag waving?"
Creationist: "How can something come from nothing? Explain that! No one's ever observed a chimp turning into a man before their eyes, therefore evolution is false. Get over it Mr. Materialist. I am not a monkey!"
I do enjoy reading a thread full of so much hokum though.
