    Jesus said "he who is faithful in what is least, is faithful in much" - Evolution? Or in need of it?

    Hi there, So I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, but the words of Jesus on incremental changes, is actually pretty clear: if you have enough of the initial requirement, the fuller difference can be expected. Jesus describes it, in terms of faith, but you could easily translate it...

    What do variations of the same design, result in - in Evolutionary terms?

    Hi there, The concept here is very simple: if I have variations of design, in the one species (not variations of species), what does the culmination of those variations, result in? In Evolutionary terms? A: the variations do not result in Evolution - leaving "Evolution" imaginary? B: the...

    Why did Jesus say "in the beginning, God created them male and female"? Not Masc or Fem evolutions?

    Hi there, So the words of Jesus are pretty explicit: "in the beginning, God created them male and female". He expressly did not say "in the beginning, God created masculine and feminine Evolutions"? But, if you are going to believe Evolution, is that a position you have to take? That...

    EVOLUTION-X (a helpful mnemonic?)

    Dear friends, I wanted to share with you a video which has helped me to remember a common sense response to Darwinian Evolution, in the form of a mnemonic: EVOLUTION-X It has certainly been very useful for me, especially when suddenly thrown into a discussion of Creationism v Evolution and I...

    EVOLUTION - X (A helpful mnemonic to remember?)

    Hello! I am new to ChristianForums.com so please accept my apologies if this has been planted in the wrong place (perhaps a moderator can correctly place it for me)...but I wanted to share with you a video which has helped me to remember common sense objections to Darwinian Evolution, in the...

    Another thought experiment: if the need to survive (tnts) becomes the need to anything (tntx)...

    Hi there, So yeah I am a little unsure, what exactly I am taking for foundation, here, but I want to experiment in some way - that makes the nature of selection pressure, clearer (if not complete)? The point of the experiment, is to see if changing perceived selection pressures, is something...

    God said and it was so: literal or figurative?

    "This has already been stated by other authors, and is well known. A proof for this, namely that the phrase "God said" in the first chapter of Genesis, must be taken in the figurative sense "He willed," and not in its literal meaning, is found in the circumstance that a command can only be given...

    Building a case for Relativity in Creation from Scripture

    I am researching a set of ideas that explain (super)natural events from Scripture using the best models, tools, and data that science can provide. Models arent perfect - but Scripture is- and what understanding we currently possess as individuals, communities, etc can be improved. Scripture was...

    New Earth Creationism: Using Time Dilation to Reconcile the Biblical and Observed Timescales

    So I am brand new to the forum and I specifically joined so I could test this idea I have been developing for the past year. If I am way off base or if what I am saying sounds ridiculous, please let me know, but I think I may have an answer to why the time scales observable science and the bible...

    There are Two Creation Stories in Genesis

    In the first creation story, Genesis 1, plants are created on the third day. 11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants...

    No Stone Age or Bronze Age in Genesis

    I'm not sure people realize in how many ways the creation story in Genesis conflicts with everything we know from every other source. We don't have to go back to the origin of the universe, to the dinosaurs or even to the Neanderthals to show that a literal reading of Genesis is incomplete...

    I give up: I'd rather go backwards, than forwards (in Evolution)

    Hi there, So I don't know whether to make this long or short, I just want to say that whatever Evolution is, I am not going to chase it. I just don't want to. I would rather be backwards and have faith; than go forwards and "evolve". It's not that I am not capable of intellectual denial of my...

    For observation to be of discreet changes in a species, observation itself must self-constrained

    Hi there, So something that will help me, even if it doesn't mean I am a star at translating human to post-human evolution, is that the nature of observation, is that it has to be educated. Observation has to be educated, because if it is observation at random, the observations made will never...

    God amassed the Sun, attaching Earth and then setting it ablaze, while Creation went into a cocoon

    Hi there, So there are four parts to this beginning: gravity (the amassing of the sun), magnetism (the molten core of the Earth), the weak force (sun's fission) and the strong force (compounding the Earth's surface, with meteors). The point of the story, is to show that, before anything could...

    Could Evolution convince the centipede to dance? Or the caterpillar to do better than a butterfly?

    Hi there, So, what we have here is a simple observation that between cell and mammal, is insectum (insect). If there is a transition in a cell to a mammal, at some point it seems reasonable to expect that an insect will at least potentially contribute to that transition. But what do we see...

    Behold the Creative Power of the Lord! (Poem.)

    I wrote this poem to express how much I enjoy nature. The Lord's amazing work that He has done with this earth is incredible. What a glorious habitat He has given to us to live in! The earth is the Lord's, It has been crafted perfectly. He laid down the foundations, He measured it out to the...

    How do we make sustainable environments? Is "Evolution" always the most applicable?

    Hi there, So what I have worked out, is that the meme "Evolution" requires certain environmental conditions, in order to be sustainable. There has to be a stable culture, curiosity, repeatability and translateability. Without these things, Evolution is topical, but not relevant; interesting but...

    Did God create quickly, or slowly?

    You can decide. Click on the "creation" words and decide for yourself. Fast or slow? 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 25 God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, 26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, 27 So God created man in His own image...

    Coronavirus - a symptom of Creation's brokenness

    Why does Coronavirus exist? Is it God's Will? Does He allow it? Thinking about the Coronavirus led me to a new idea about how the disease is Creation's response to its brokenness. Coronavirus — a symptom of Creation’s brokenness Excerpts: "Due to the worldwide impact of the Coronavirus, it...
