Tell me this, people that believe in evolution, if you disagree with creationists so much, why is Christianity the only religion thats hated?
I don't hate Christianity.
and why do people only Use Jesus's name as a swear word and no one else's name?
Not sure what this has to do with evolution. Christians that I know have used Jesus' name as an exclamation also.
why do people hate christianity so much but not muslims? or paganism, I know why, because Satan is trying to get you to hate christianity and to turn to evolution, if it wasn't true then other religions would be attacked and mocked just as much as christianity, but every athiest I see only mocks and hates Christianity and the Bible, and just ignore the rest,
How many Islamic creationism-vs-evolution sites have you been to? What is your frame of reference for making this accusation?
Why do you consider a person who agrees with the theory of evolution to always be an atheist when many self-professed Christians believe in the theory of evolution?

does that not mean all of you know there is truth in the Bible? so you are trying to get us Christians to disprove evolution for you?
This is a bit of a silly statement. Evolutionists also ask Islamic creationists to "disprove evolution", does that mean the Qua'ran is true?
Creationists are publicly opposing the theory of evolution and trying to get it removed from school curriculum. Does that opposition mean that evolution is true? Or is it only when someone opposes what you believe, that the opposition automatically mean what you believe is surely true.
So you basicly are always asking US to disprove it for you, while you ignore every other religion, as I said before sense you do this YOU know there is truth in the Bible, and that it is the WORD OF GOD, but you want evolution disproved, even though you know its false already.
I don't ignore every other religion. I don't KNOW that the Bible is true in every facet of what it espouses. I disagree that it is the WORD OF GOD in any sense other than as a nickname for the book.
Since I agree with what I understand from the theory of evolution, I have to say that your last sentence is also incorrect...I don't KNOW evolution is false.


Alot of you will disagree with what I just wrote, but every athiest/evolutionist I've seen shows that they do believe in the word of God/The Bible, if you didn't you would just ignore it, and you would also attack other religions other then Christianity.
I believe in the Bible in the same sense that I believe in Moby Dick....it's a book that is not necessarily completely true although it has elements of truth in it.

Also, all evolutionists are not atheists....some are Christians.

Since the polls show that the majority of people in the US and in the world accept the TOE, I think that you are very wrong.
Jesus didn't:

Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

Mark 13:19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

Revelation 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;


Paul didn't:

Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Peter didn't:

2 Peter 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

I don't.

Believe what you like, the evidence is clear the majority of Christians agree with the TOE.

I have posted the evidence numerous times on this board and have no desire to do the same for you, look it up.

I have explained most of my points in my last reply but to be honest if you don't desire to explain it then you have nothing to explain.

Yes pretty much i believe they don't interpret it correctly or in full detail they can have there beliefs if they want it does not matter as long as they are born again if they are born again they are true Christians even if they believe in TOE.

Yes, lots of interpretations of the bible, hence so many denominations of Christianity.

With science though, there is objective evidence that is there for all to see, that is the great equalizer. It just so happens, the majority of Christians choose not to deny well evidenced science.

Of course, you can if you like.

I love how the only way most evolutioninists I see try twisting the things I say, to try getting it to fit there needs, such as twisting the statements you make, try debating with out that for once.

Scientists have a way of fixing polls in their favor.

Would 42% of the population of the USA believe that the Son of man is a mutant copy-error, made in the image & likeness of God?

Either the wiggly things at the end of your foot or the Theory of Evolution.

I'm not sure how I made it all my 35 years on this planet never once seeing "ToE" as "toe" but now that you have pointed this out, I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO SEE IT AS ANYTHING ELSE.

There are 32% of christians in the world, in the USA more then half of the country is christians, and in the USA alone 42% of the population agreed with evolution, that was proven in 2012, and in the other parts of the world creationism is supported even more, round 82% of the world agree with creationism, but yet no one disagrees with other religions other then Christianity.
It would be interesting to see where you got those figures. Could you give cites?

Here are some other poll results that may be of some interest

Pew Research Center 2013 analysis, six-in-ten Americans (60%) say that “humans and other living things have evolved over time,” while a third (33%) reject the idea of evolution,
Public?s Views on Human Evolution | Pew Research Center's Religion & Public Life Project

Creationism world wide 2011
Lastly, the survey revealed that four in 10 (41%) believe in human evolution compared to 28% who believe in creationism and 31%of the global population who is unsure what to believe.
Ipsos Global @dvisory: Supreme Being(s), the Afterlife and Evolution | Ipsos

There are others showing simular results but in none of these does it show creationists being in a majority much less over 80%

Note that I documented where I got my information.

I feel that I directly responded to your statements without twisting the meaning of those statements.

If you wish to accuse me of twisting statements, it would be in the interest of everyone here if you pointed out which statements were twisted and how I misrepresented those statements.

Otherwise your complaint is nothing but an assertion, deserving of nothing but derision.

The doctrine of Christianity confronts directly against the theory of evolution.
Doctrines of other religions do not.

If scientists can make Thalidomide look like a prenatal wonder drug, a child in the womb a fetus, Pluto a dwarf planet, and the Deepwater Horizon safe for drilling, they can certainly use their powers of persuasion to make people think they came from a race of Homos.

Tell me this, people that believe in evolution, if you disagree with creationists so much, why is Christianity the only religion thats hated?
I don't hate Christianity. I do dislike creationism, though. Any type of creationism, including Muslim and Jewish is equaling appalling in my mind. Hope that helps.

and why do people only Use Jesus's name as a swear word and no one else's name?
I'm not sure. Maybe if you use Mohamed's name, you risk getting your head sawed off?

why do people hate christianity so much but not muslims? or paganism,
There are plenty of people who hate Islam and Muslims. Just tune into Fox News.

I know why, because Satan is trying to get you to hate christianity and to turn to evolution, if it wasn't true then other religions would be attacked and mocked just as much as christianity, but every athiest I see only mocks and hates Christianity and the Bible, and just ignore the rest,
How many atheists do you "see" that are from a Muslim/ Hindu/ Buddhist majority country? Probably not many. That probably is influencing your perspective.

does that not mean all of you know there is truth in the Bible?
Non sequiter.

so you are trying to get us Christians to disprove evolution for you?
No, but plenty come here thinking they can, because they read propaganda and lies from a few "Creation Ministry" websites.


So you basicly are always asking US to disprove it for you, while you ignore every other religion, as I said before sense you do this YOU know there is truth in the Bible, and that it is the WORD OF GOD, but you want evolution disproved, even though you know its false already.
You are really, really confused about what we think... aren't you? Maybe you should just ask us.

Alot of you will disagree with what I just wrote, but every athiest/evolutionist I've seen shows that they do believe in the word of God/The Bible, if you didn't you would just ignore it, and you would also attack other religions other then Christianity.
I haven't seen any atheist who believes in the bible... if they did, they wouldn't be atheists, now would they?

Tell me this, people that believe in evolution, if you disagree with creationists so much, why is Christianity the only religion thats hated?

It's not. And we don't disagree with creationists because we hate Christianity. We disagree with creationists because creationism is a myth which religious zealots are trying to wedge into public education as fact.

and why do people only Use Jesus's name as a swear word and no one else's name?

Much of the Arabic speaking world uses "Allah" as an expletive in the same way the English speaking world uses God. You hear "God ___" much more in America because Christianity is the majority religon here.

why do people hate christianity so much but not muslims? or paganism,

Christianity is a religion. Muslim is a kind of person. You should compare Christianity to Islam, and Christians to Muslims. I don't speak for everyone, but I don't hate anyone for being a Christian or Muslim, however, I maintain that their beliefs deserve no more serious consideration or respect than the belief in bigfoot or fairies.

I know why, because Satan is trying to get you to hate christianity and to turn to evolution, if it wasn't true then other religions would be attacked and mocked just as much as christianity,

The majority of Christians actually accept the evidence for evolution. It's only a minority of fundamentalist protestants (usually Baptist) who oppose science and reality because it conflicts with the idea of original sin in a literal understanding of the Adam and Eve myth.

but every athiest I see only mocks and hates Christianity and the Bible, and just ignore the rest, does that not mean all of you know there is truth in the Bible? so you are trying to get us Christians to disprove evolution for you?


It probably only seems that way because you live in the US. In the US, Christianity is the most common religion, so a lot of the discrimination and opposition that the non-religious (and even science) face comes from Christian fundamentalists.

Not to mention, you are on a website called christianforums.com. Why would you expect to find atheists here challenging Islam?

So you basicly are always asking US to disprove it for you, while you ignore every other religion, as I said before sense you do this YOU know there is truth in the Bible, and that it is the WORD OF GOD, but you want evolution disproved, even though you know its false already.

We're not trying to get you to disprove evolution so much as prove there is a viable alternative. A theory in science doesn't get disproven until there is enough evidence to show that there is a better explanation. So far, the Theory of Evolution, as it is now, remains uncontested.

Occasionally, there is new evidence that calls for revisions here and there, but it's never enough to actually show that evolution doesn't happen.

Alot of you will disagree with what I just wrote, but every athiest/evolutionist I've seen shows that they do believe in the word of God/The Bible,

Haha. How so?

if you didn't you would just ignore it, and you would also attack other religions other then Christianity.

I don't attack Christianity, I retaliate.

It's called divide-and-conquer.

Honorable mention go to diabolical mimicry, diabolical plagiarism, and [current] science.
