    Hillsong Worship on Evolution and the Big Bang

    I was thinking of this article in Christian Today: https://www.christiantoday.com/article/hillsongs-joel-houston-clarifies-views-on-evolution-after-so-will-i-lyrics-spark-debate/129864.htm The article in regards to the song So Will I (100 Billion X). Lyrics: "And as You speak/A hundred...

    An Evolution that includes everyone, is an Evolution that God can approve of

    Hi there, So yes, the Holy Spirit has led me on a massive salvaging operation, over the theory of Evolution. Over time, He has talked about many aspects of Evolution and faith in general, always bringing me back to a point of lesser contention - on which to base my conjectures. Last and...

    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...

    Petitio principii nexum (begging the connection): a connection you can't recruit for Evolution?

    Hi there, So I just want to appeal to mercy for a moment, is there a connection that you can't recruit for Evolution? When you beg the question, you can't beg the question of something that is the foundation - you can't for example question meaning, if you question the reality of someone who...

    The Holy Spirit affirms: we each had a word spoken over us, into which we were born

    Hi there, So I have spent a long time, wrestling with what it is to identify with God, particularly in the light of Evolution - there is a sense in which they are two very different things, so I have spent time trying to understand it. What the Holy Spirit has been able to get across, is that...

    A Young Earth Friendly Old Earth Creationism

    Hi all! A decade ago I was a hard core Young Earth Creationist (YEC). I taught it with zeal at youth group services, evangelism classes, and apologetics seminars. I thought that the main two views of Genesis 1 were the Biblical view (literal), and the non-Biblical view (non-literal)...

    An opportunity for you: help name a new kind of Evolution

    Hi there, So I have come to the conclusion that Evolution deserves its own category. Due to Evolution getting its own category, it behoves the adept to begin to set out things which do not belong to Evolution - according to that category (but belong to that category, because the category is...

    Say we spend our lives waiting for God, to Evolve - is that: life spent wasted?

    Hi there, So I came to the conclusion that it is better to be predetermined than to be self-willed and I started to turn my attention to God; what I started to realise is that God is more predetermined than me - like even if I spent every waking hour focused on God and His predetermination, I...

    So the surname "Darwin" goes down in History, as the one with the least need of further evolution?

    Hi there, The argument goes "we have Evolution, we don't need anything else" but there are ramifications to this, right? For one thing discovering "Evolution" means that you don't have to rediscover it, right? Unless of course you have a certain endless fascination with it, in which case your...

    We Believe In Dinosaurs

    I saw this video on TV just recently, Stream WE BELIEVE IN DINOSAURS on PBS The PBS documentary "we believe in dinosaurs" focuses on can hams "the ark encounter". I figured I would share for those who are interested in this subject.

    Nature’s Destiny - Michael Denton

    I found this book to be outstanding but was troubled all the way through by a little voice in my head saying: “But what if it’s the other way around? What if life has evolved to fit all these conditions?” To save me hours of trawling the Internet for an answer, can anyone help please? With a...

    In the mating game, first impressions count most

    Hi there, So there is a something massive I didn't count on when setting out to work out the relationship between Creation and Evolution: First Impressions. First impressions are simply the instinct first presented to a potential mate, that help define the relationship in a way that develops a...

    Scientists believe in the punctuated equilibrium, do they believe in the "peak eventuality"?

    Hi there, So the concept of the punctuated equilibrium is that life doesn't start without something of a kick, to get it going, one that forces it to change, but one that keeps it in an environment where it can still change. What is interesting is that this is not an isolated concept. A concept...

    Someone help me: as a Creationist, I have God; as a would be Evolutionist, I have what?

    Hi there, So of course the natural reaction is "you have faith: good for you". But I think it goes more deeply than that. I think having a God, at the very least, means that I have something for Evolutionists could believe, if only I knew what. I know the theory: call that which was not, as if...

    If the serpent (Evolution) bites before charmed, why send for the charmer (to develop Evolution)?

    Hi there, So there is actually a scriptural verse that deals with Evolution pretty neatly, actually. It proposes that there is a law, that affects serpents (in much the same way Evolution claims to affect creatures in general). This law can be preempted (the snake can bite before the charming...

    If you could take one verse, from the Bible, to add to Evolution, to make it stronger?

    Hi there, So I am sort of running out of ideas as to what to contrast Evolution with - gravity doesn't make sense to Evolutionists "as a law", epigenetics is irrelevant to butterflies, and there is no real answer to the ubiquity (or lack thereof) of certain adaptations. What seems to matter is...

    If Jesus can guarantee Resurrection, but Evolution can't guarantee Jesus: stick with Jesus?

    Hi there, So there is a bit of a bind here. I have tried to describe as exactly as I can what it is that vexes me about the whole Creation/Evolution thing: Jesus can guarantee Resurrection, but Evolution can't guarantee Jesus. There is a major problem here, right? I mean I am not ultimately...

    Jesus and I have the same adaptation: are we more evolved, or less?

    Hi there, Suppose something for a minute: Jesus and I have the same adaptation, are we more evolved or less? What would give Him praise? Will my copying His adaptation, mean that I am as free from death as He is? Imagine everyone has Jesus' adaptation: can decay change us?

    If my adaptation supersedes my predator's adaptation, does Evolution stop?

    Hi there, So yes, a very simple thought, today: if my adaptation supersedes my predator's adaptation, does Evolution stop? The premise here is simply that survival of the fittest, is only possible while there is "selection pressure". Evolutionists have tended to talk as if pressure is a...
