1) I don't believe in evolution, I was giving you one of many sad attempts to explain this problem with evolution. The story at the time stated apes on the great savannah came down from the trees for food, but because of the tall grass, they couldn't see the lions, so they adapted to standing on two legs to see predators, thus expanding their hips over time. This is not a fairy tale I conjured, this is a fairy tale I read on Scientific American years ago. Since then, that theory was trashed in place of other nonsense. My claim is simple, how could "evolution" foresee in billions of years that small changes to hip structure (for example) would pave the way to a bigger and more helpful brain? Every explanation around evolution is an absurd tale that usually gives the natural processes of evolution an apparent guiding intelligence of some sort. I grab a stick for the first time, and hit something with it... and just imagine, if I had thumbs, how much better I could grab a stick. So now you have to believe a large number of thumbless creatures tried to hold and grab sticks over a long period of time, had babies, taught them the same thing, and thousands of years later... thumbs appear.1) Sorry, but this doesn't address any point I made. To repeat my question: why would you think that delayed development, along with bigger brains, wouldn't be favored by natural selection? You claim evolution shouldn't have favored the traits we have. Defend that claim or retract it. (And where did you get the idea that we started walking upright in order to have wider hips? What are you talking about?)
2) Exactly. You should tell this to the person who started this thread, who thinks that weak humans who grow up slowly are incapable of being evolutionarily successful.
Wrong again. I'm a Christian who studies evolution (among other things) for a living, responding to a really bad argument against it.
3) The only reason I accept evolution is that all of the evidence in the real world points to it. As for the Bible... Do you believe in Jesus because for some reason you decided to believe the Bible is infallible? Have you never met Jesus yourself? I take the Bible seriously because Jesus did, not the other way around -- and that does not mean that I have to think everything in it is literally true. That's never been a requirement for being a Christian.
2) We were created from dust and given authority over the Earth. Just as the Bible says, amazing.
3) I met Jesus, supernaturally in 2006. He appeared before me. Then I began to study the bible and realized every part of it was true. Many people (probably you included) don't even think Moses was a real man, meanwhile Jesus spoke of him. Was Jesus a liar, telling fairy tales?
Jesus never once abandoned the truth of scripture as you have. Evolution is just another deception of the devil to draw people away from God... and it's working. When people ask you about Noah, what do you say? It is just a bedtime story to you? Good fiction? You have given away all of your faith in scripture over to men in white coats... I am sorry you fell for it.
I like how you wrote "all of the evidence in the real world" - Meaning everything in the Bible is just fairy tales and imaginations, right?
What does science tell you about the Resurrection of Jesus Christ? All of the evidence in the "real world" and all the white lab coats tell you it is impossible. So what do you believe? The Bible or the lab coats???
