Totally serious question here... My understanding is that a species, as a whole, is constantly evolving, some individuals will have large mutations, others none, but overall a species will continue to evolve. Surely this means that any species, at any point in time is transitional between...

Why do you think that Christians who believe in evolution do so? Just out of interest really, do you think we've been somehow fooled, or what?

I never see anything UK FS here, but I'll put some books up in case anyone wants them. Case For A Creator - Lee Strobel God's Amazings Claims - Lee Strobel Relationships Revolution - Nigel Pollock Distinctives - Vaughan Roberts Run Baby Run - Nicky Cruz Purpose Driven Life - Rick Warren...

Here's something I've been thinking about for a while - I'm pretty much decided in my mind on this but I thought I'd get others' opinions. In a quest for truth, should we consider the possiblity that we have got it wrong, and Christianity is at all flawed? What I mean is, should we only...

Why do people keep referring to 'belief' as if it's a choice? If I have an experience, I will believe it happened. If I see evidence from a source I trust, then I believe it is true. Belief is a logical deduction based on the best evidence you have to hand - whether that's personal...

Seems a fairly simple question... I see people who put their faith icon as 'messianic', yet I don't really know/understand much about what it means, anyone care to shed some light on this for me?

I know, I'm hardly alone in this, but this is causing me quite a lot of anguish at the moment, and I would appreciate prayer, so I thought I couldn't really lose by posting this here. No problem too big or too small for God eh? It's a good thing He cares about the silly things in my life as well...

Science and faith are, for most people, actually quite similar. Science requires evidence, or is, in fact, more accurately, a study of the available evidence and the attainment of more. Faith is believing in things not seen, yet that doesn't mean that there is no evidence for God, nor does it...

I'm in something of a quandry, and there are very few people who I can talk to openly about it, so I thought the anonymity of the 'net would be a good place to ask people for honest christian advice. Basically, I am a student at university in Bristol, UK, and it's now my 4th year. My problem...

I can't find books 1, 11, or 12, grrr... Anyway, if you're in the UK, and wanted to try these books, then I'm going to put them up for grabs at £6 each plus P&P (I think new they varied between £12 and £16, but I could have misremembered that). If you wanted to take them all, then I'd...

Having just come back from a home group, we were discussing the issue of people who have never heard 'the Gospel', though between us we weren't really satisfied with the conclusions (as we didn't really come to that many). The general idea put forward seems to be that God's 'justice', or, put...

Please, these are serious questions from someone who is looking for serious answers, so no jumping on each others backs on this one. So, to get started: 1. Is traditional Darwinism (as opposed to evolution in general) in trouble as a theory? Are there even nearly AS MANY transitional...

This is a thread I thought I'd start as it is something that has been annoying me for ages, having lived with some ardent creationists in the past. I have no problem with creationists, or them holding the views they do, you're all allowed to think what you want to. However, failure to admit...

Hmmm, it's 2.40am over here but its about time I finally got all my thoughts out, and shared them so that others can discuss them with me. Im really struggling with many ideas within the christian faith at the moment, I would say that at the moment I have no relationship with God, but Im too...

OK, this is just an excuse to show off my new sig, which is probably far too big on most people's screens anyway. Oh well! How's everyone's day been? Anyone done anything exciting? I started a new job today! Though its only a 3 day temp job, which makes it less exciting...

Pretty self explanitory thread really...

Anyone going to see third day in London, sometime in June I believe..

I can't find the name Jehova in any of my translations of the bible, so I'm interested to know where it came from? My houemate insists that it is merely a mistranslation of the tetragrammon YHWH, and I've seen this in other places too. I've also seen it claimed that it comes from the names...

Just wondering if there was an official LDS statement on how literal genesis was? As in, young earth or old earth creation?
