  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

That would assume one is a literalist when it comes to the Word, which many people are not. One could, if not believing the entirety of the Bible to be a literal exposition, take the Genesis story of creation as a metaphor for the start of life and generation of the Earth.


All things are possible with God friend.

Then he could create the universe through evolution, right?

Evolution is a process that does not exist without God.
What is to evolutionize without the substance itself?
Hint: God is the Creator of all substance.
Can a certain dog breed with another certain dog? Of course. Is one amazed? How come? The real amazement is that God created it all. One is amazed at creation, another at the Creator Himself. How simple a creation, but to understand that the world is foolishness compared unto the Creator, now that is worthy of attention.

Basically, everything. For starters, we know the age of the universe and the earth. They weren't made in 7 days.

The Creator of all says its created as He states. One may disagree with truth, but by the truth, attempt to make a stand. The truth remains the truth and will stand. Half truth and half lie equals full lie and the truth will consume those that attempt to disagree.

And I disagree entirely. If a god created everything then bully for him. He had a plan and with a flick of his omnipotent finger and a wiggle of his nose he created a beautiful world.

But if everything we see is the result of matter interacting with matter under the regulation of a few simple rules then wow. That is what is amazing to me.

All is subject unto God. God is the Creator of all. Denying that is denying truth itself.

God created all. Only the delusional reject that and desire another answer.
Doesn't answer the question. How hard can it be?

Yes / no?

If god is omnipotent then he could create his creation in whatever way he felt like creating it which includes evolution. The answer you're looking for is an unqualified 'yes.'

A focus on evolution begs to entertain many various types of other responses that only lead to a dead end. I speak of simplicity for those entertained by its simplictistic nature. All creation is a perishing way. Yet the Creator, eternal, is eternal. Would a television "wow" a 15th century civilization... of course. Does that televison perish...of course. God is eternal, where decay does not exist.

If ones response is that evolution exists without God, than that ones response is based on lies. For all that exists, only exists because God, the Creator, said it to exist. If ones definition of evolution excludes God, than that ones defintion is based on lies. Boasting of truth does not make one true. Actual truth is evidence of truth itself. Can I discover a solution to every problem...of course I can, for with God all things are possible. If there is a problem, it is because one has rejected God. God is the solution to every problem.
