The evidence for Evolution.

They could if they wrote about them after they occurred!

Merry Christmas.

Then you need to prove all the prophets like Isaiah were cons and that the time of the things they wrote was way different. Impossible. In all ways you lose.

Poor lad, having his birthday on Christmas day - only one set of presents

His gift is eternal life. I'll take it.

Kind-of - from an historical perspective. The assumption was a hypothesis that was tested and found to be supported by observation and to make predictions which were fruitful. So what was originally an assumption became a well-established part of a larger theory.

Sadly, no matter how much ignorance and denial you express, the facts, like the relevant laws of nature, remain stubbornly unchanged.

It is ignorance and denial to pretend that what we see in our time and space reflects all of creation. You cannot deal with the fact that distances and sizes cannot be known unless we know time exists where the stars are also.

God did not create all things to prove any man's interpretation. Those who claim God created through evolution do violence to the text of Scripture...and the spirit.

And yet the many contradictions in t he Bible tell us that it is clearly not "God's Word" unless one wants to make the rather blasphemous claim that God is incompetent. A claim that I never made when I was a Christian but one that dad seems to make every day.

No, no. The ancients can predict what they like. No, it is the situation that the 'fulfillers' wrote their 'reports' after the claimed events!

I can tell you who will win next year's Melbourne Cup......as long as I publish my prediction the day after the race!

Maybe give the insane blather and blasphemy a rest today. It is Christmas.

Unsound nonsense, and denial. We know when Isaiah lived and wrote more or less. No one could scurry around and raise someone from the dead, make a virgin birth etc etc to fulfil it either. Only God could.

 

[SteveB28]

So, to sum up.....

The creationist makes claims, based on nothing more than 'the words of men' uttered in an age of fear and superstition.

Evolutionary theory is based entirely upon the results of observing evidence.

And there is no evidence that anyone did. Only that it is claimed......

It is in the same boat as those who claim that Mohammed took a midnight horse ride to heaven.

If a God existed perhaps, there's a lot of talk but precious little evidence in fact there's none.

Are you talking to yourself again?

No, they only do violence to your interpretation of scripture which, IMO, it richly deserves.

And yet, the only people in a position to know whether or not it is real are no longer in a position to tell us!

That's a great way to make sure your product gets no one star reviews.

It appears that you are rather behind the times on the Cambrian explosion. It was not as dramatic as the creationist sites try to make it.


You may be basing your opinions on a strawman. Can you tell us your understanding of it?

Of course it wasn't that dramatic! They say it happened overnight, when that clearly isn't the case.

It took a good, solid weekend.

 

[Kylie]

Would 'evolutionary theory' include origins of life on earth? If so you have precisely none at all. If all you mean is mutating bacteria today or some such, well, you need a lot of godless imagination to contort that into creation of life on earth.

No. Evolution is only about how life has changed. It does not describe where life came from.

This is a basic thing about evolution. If you don't know this basic stuff, you obviously don't know enough about evolution to say it is wrong.

There is evidence Jesus lived, and the apostles...and prophets. The Scriptures were best preserved of all documents. There is evidence in the lives of millions. Look into it.

Well, if any man does what Jesus said, namely believes accepts Him and His words...they will know.

Gospels were written by unknown authors decades after the alleged events. But this is a thread about evolution. The existence of Jesus is irrelevant to biology. Francis Collins is one of the most respected geneticists in the world. He accepts evolution and is also a devout Christian. You are certainly not smarter than Mr. Collins when it comes to the facts of evolution.

Excuse unbelief any way you like...ho hum. Creation by Christ is not something you get a vote on.

We are all in a position. Every one that asks receives.
