what I believe and the biologists believe are all faith-based.
Nope. Biology, like any actual science, must be based on empoirical evidence if it's to be considered science at all,
Can someone believe in evolution and still be Christian? That is a question only God can answer.
No, I'll answer it right now, and the answer is "yes". If you don't believe that God could use evolution aif it suits His evend, then that's simply your opinion, held in opposition to observed fact.
From a theological perspective, believing in macroevolution reduces God to being only a super being because he loses his omnipotence.
Baloney. What you're saying is that you can't believe that God used evolution for His purposes, and therefore no one else should. Your opinion in the matter is worth the price charged.
It also throws a monkey wrench into His being a logical entity
Really? If He created the lifeforms He created to evolve then that's illigocal? Sez who?
since He used predation, violence, self-centeredness, and death to create a being; He then commands to love even its enemies. So Christianity becomes somewhat of a haphazard, illogical religion at best.
Trying to figure out where you're going with that. Are you denying the existence of predation, violence, self-centeredness, and death, or that God created the beings, or that He told His beings to love their enemies.
And yeah, Christianity does teach us to behave in contrdiction to our own natural tendencies. Surely you've noticed that.
It also turns Christ into somewhat of a rube who just fell off the turn-up truck because He believed in all of the major events of the Old Testament
I take it that you assume that our Lord has the same limited view of His creation that you do. New Flash: It is, after all,
His Creation. created to His specs. If you can't fathom what He's up to, maybe it's due to you not knowing as much as He does. Radical concept, innit?
, even saying that From the beginning God created male and female. You would think that the person who through all things were created would have been aware of evolution.
Or that He intentionally set things up to work that way. Maybe He should asked your opinion on th subject first...
It also makes one wonder where in the bible did God stop lying to us
About what?
, if He even had anything to do with the formation of the bible.
Agan, without have evn asked for your opinion. Unacceptable!
So as you can see theologically, evolution does a pretty mean broadside to the bible
Better take that up with the Creator, then.
Since the bible claims that through one man (Adam), sin entered the world, and through one man (Jesus), sin was defeated. But if men have been clubbing each other since Luci walked the earth, that becomes fiction, which renders the cross meaningless.
I'm sorry, what? Are you denying the existence of sin, our Lord's triumph over it, or both?
Biblically based Christian theology and macroevolution are binary choices under boolean logic rules.
I'm sorry, but that's simple gibberish.
