Angels and Theistic Evolution

If Theistic Evolution is correct, where did the angels come from?

How are we supposed to know until you produce an Angel we can study?

 

[Tinker Grey]

I'd always taken angels to be wholly spiritual beings. Jesus strongly suggests that angels do not reproduce. Ergo, no evolution.

 

[MrGoodBytes]

Though I am not a TE, my guess would be "God created them".

 

[Danyc]

Angels are not physical beings. They are spiritual, as Grey has stated.

Thus, I suspect that came from God, if they came from anywhere.

If you are asking if they evolved into what they are-- no, they did not.

Although the nature of angels and the tasks given to them vary from tradition to tradition,

Sounds like Theistic Evolution to me.

Mythology.

Next question?

 

[Lord Emsworth]

They evolved from unicorns.

 

[Nathan Poe]

They evolved from unicorns.

Actually, they evolved from the Greek Muses. Served pretty much the same purpose.

From the same place that fairies came from.

They came from the same place your God came from AV, your mind,
in fact it would be good if you could tell us about some of the things you have imagined,
what does your God look like? and what powers have you given your angels?
and how is your Satan these days?

It might give us an insight into the workings of your mind AV, because at the moment
no one here has the slightest idea how you come to some of your conclusions,
my guess is it's pretty chaotic in there, pretty chaotic indeed.

I think you're caught between what you know is true, and what you want to be true.

Thanks for stopping by to clutter this thread up by bragging that you don't know.

Ergo, no evolution.

I said if Theistic Evolution was correct --- ergo, evolution.

Thanks for the clutter, though.

Actually I believe he's saying that you god is made-up, and so are your angels.

However, humoring the premise that theistic evolution is correct, I'll say that God created the angels. This has nothing to do with how life on earth formed; Satan had already existed and fallen by the time Adam and Eve were tested. That means angels came before life, in all likelihood.

Surely you've considered this, and I wonder what point you think you have?

He, who? (Nevermind --- I think you guys just like to type.)

That Theistic Evolutionists give credit to the angels for being created*, but always refer to mankind as "having evolved".

* At least I have to assume they do --- they're smart enough not to answer me.

Jeez, the one time i decide not to quote a post you manage to squeeze in three new ones under it. It was for the post on top of page 2.

Right. And I don't see any problem with that; theistic evolutionists aren't saying that God doesn't have the capacity to create. They're just saying that the evidence shows that we weren't "poofed," but rather that we evolved.

That's five new posts.

I take it then, that you agree with my point? That God created the angels ex nihilo, but we got here via a series of genetic mistakes?
