The Danger of Creationism

[TLK Valentine]

Evolution has been the BASIS of giving to us abortions and the Holocaust, along with KKK, so how dangerous is it then?

Should we ask that same question about Christianity and see what happens?

 

[AV1611VET]

Kind of throws a spanner in your "adoption" analogy, then... Does He adopt us, or do we adopt Him?

I have a feeling you're familiar with the doctrine.

 

[TLK Valentine]

I have a feeling you're familiar with the doctrine.

I'm familiar with several contradictory doctrines... I'm just wondering which one is being applied here.

I don't sign up on atheist forums and troll them all day on the dangers of atheism. You people come here on a Christian forum, and have the nerve to rant about the dangers of creationism and the evils of Christianity and the Bible, and the mods let you do it.

And if I try and defend our religion, on our own forum, from you, who are guests of another religion, you act like I'm a bigot.

All you do is start arguments just for fun. That's called trolling. This thread topic shouldn't even be allowed. KJV only-ism is banned, yet "The Danger of Creationism" and all your anti-Christian, anti-God, anti-Bible insults are allowed. Why? Does the site owner have a soft spot for atheists and a hatred of the KJV?

Don't you people have anything better to do with your lives than troll Christians night and day? Is this the highlight of your life? The apex of entertainment for you?

Is this that you are spewing an example of that "Christian Love" we hear so
much about?

 

[Estrid]

Most of CF is "Christians Only" sub-fora. Go there.

Please.

Lol, the Danger of reading your Bible and believing it? You know that there are all kinds of things in scripture that aren't possible according to science, correct? Like a man coming back from the dead. Maybe you think that was a conspiracy theory too, but it's the most basic tenet of Christianity.

Still waiting for any Evolutionist to give us the origin of Life, Universe, and where there was definite species changes recorded down!

You'll have a long wait... but that's your business.

True biblcal christianity has given to us science and medicine and broke down prejudice and segregation, again, what has evolution ever done positive?

Find me some people who actually practice "true Biblical Christianity" and I'll ask them myself.

And before you offer up yourself as such an example, what should be done about the Christians who would say you're not?

again, what has evolution ever done positive?

Here's an interesting article on the subject: Evolution and Today's Society

Revisionism 101.
On the subject of medicine the ancient Egyptians left us medical manuals such as the Edwin Smith papyrus dated from the 17th century BC.

The Egyptians were also into dentistry introducing the earliest dental bridges.

​

We can thank the ancient Greeks for initiating the development of science.

​

Thales of Miletus (/ˈθeɪliːz/ THAY-leez; Greek: Θαλῆς (ὁ Μιλήσιος), Thalēs; c. 624/623 – c. 548/545 BC) was a Greek mathematician, astronomer and pre-Socratic philosopher from Miletus in Ionia, Asia Minor. He was one of the Seven Sages of Greece. Many, most notably Aristotle, regarded him as the first philosopher in the Greek tradition,[1][2] and he is otherwise historically recognized as the first individual known to have entertained and engaged in scientific philosophy.[3][4] He is often referred to as the Father of Science.

No, we are not.

Galatians 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

(That happens to be my signature verse.)

It's not that easy. It is not clear, as many scholars note, as to whether the genitive form of "faith" (pistis Christou) that Paul uses is a subjective genitive or objective genitive. So that verse could just as easily be translated "For ye are all children of God by the faith of Christ (i.e. Christ's faithfulness)." That's the natural translation of the genitive (possession or description). In that case, your implication that this verse claims only those who believe in Christ are God's children no longer holds.

Not even close.

Reminds me of the saying:

There are no atheists in foxholes.

"True biblical christianity" is a fantasy. It has given us only con-men, and scammers.
Evolution has happened. And thats all it needs to do.

Still waiting for any evolutionists to exist outside creationist rhetoric

Fun fact: Jews make up 0.25% of the world population and get 23% of Nobel Prizes.

Fun fact: Nearly all modern technology and advances in science are thanks to Christians. Here are 34 Christian scientists:

34 Great Scientists Who Were Committed Christians

Thank Christianity for science, chemisty, advanced mathematics (including calculus), universities, hospitals, electricity, computers, electronic communication, the airplane (but a Jew invented the blimp), genetics, telescopes, batteries, geology, physics, civil rights, just a few examples.

So what great achievements have atheists done in the name of science? Oh right, they murdered Australians and put their dead stuffed bodies on display in museums:

Centuries Of Slaughter: Genocide In The Australian Outback

Ok ok. Maybe I just cherry picked that as a biased example. Let's not forget what else atheists are famous for:

Mass killings under communist regimes - Wikipedia

So they murdered over 100,000,000 people. Ok ok. Surely there are some other famous atheists that did other stuff:

EVIL ATHEISTS / EVILS OF ATHEISM / ATHEIST EVIL ACTS AND IDEAS/EVIL PHILOSOPHERS

In the past 100 years, atheist regimes murdered up to 259,432,000 people. So how does that compare to Christianity?

Atheism and Mass Murder - Conservapedia

Oh ok. So the annual murder rate for atheists is only 182,716 times worse than Christianity's worst evil act in it's 2,000 year history, the Spanish Inquisition:

The total body count for the ninety years between 1917 and 2007 is approximately 148 million dead at the bloody hands of fifty-two atheists, three times more than all the human beings killed by war, civil war, and individual crime in the entire twentieth century combined.

The historical record of collective atheism is thus 182,716 times worse on an annual basis than Christianity’s worst and most infamous misdeed, the Spanish Inquisition.

So much for the "Danger of Creationism".

 

[Mr Laurier]

Atheists in the USA have higher IQ, more
education and higher income, fewer in prison
than the relihious. The gap is much bigger
for the fundamentalists, who draw their numbers
from the lower socio-economic ranks of society.

"Atheist" is not a proper noun, btw.

Hey.
Yes. Atheists tend to be well educated, and to have better impulse control. Less tendency to lash out in anger, and less cause to be angry in the first place.
Also, a tendency to better problem solving skills.
And are more likely to have better paying jobs, with greater stability of employment.
All told, less likelyhood of becoming that angry drunk who explodes with rage and beats up the waitress.
Also, a better sense of ones place in the universe. So no self entitled fantasies of deserving a better station in life.

Two things.
1)Every one of those scientists, by their works, have refuted young earth creationism.
2)And the list omits Mr Charles Darwin. Another christian who contributed to science.
