I'll stop repeating the truth if you stop repeating nonsense.
Go try your luck at the atheist forums. Christians know better.
Any of them who believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God, as Jesus taught. You can't simultaneously believe that God formed Adam from the dust of the earth and eve from Adam's rib, and that the world is billions of years and man is an evolved species. Ultimately, you can't believe in the authority of the Scriptures and the theories of man. Those who claim both are deceiving themselves. If you claim evolution is true then you are rejecting something so foundational it is referenced throughout the Bible. You are also buying into a theory that is contrary to the observed forces in nature. You're deceiving yourself. Evolution has been demonstrated not to happen. Ignore the experiments that conflict with your chosen belief; reject the Scriptures and become a religion unto yourself if you desire. It doesn't make it truth.Which Christians?

Not my threats, just Promises from God so. How seriously you take that is up to you. And of course evolution goes against the creation of the Bible...what an odd claim you make.
So there ya' go, you're already stepping all over what you just claimed wasn't true. It goes against the Bible....period
And after all that, still no proof. That's what I thought.
I guarantee you will be able to support this assertion.Of course, with "climate change" the "experts" got caught cooking the books and manipulating data, and all of their models have failed.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Exodus 20:11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Sorry, but you're wrong. The Bible says that the earth was created on the first day.
Learning about how the world functions does not require a rejection of it's origin from the word of God to be embraced by the theories of man. Of course, many DO end up rejecting the story of creation in favor of their scientifically untenable theory of molecules to man. To them I would forward the same questions I offer to all T.E.'s. How is man simultaneously created by God and yet evolved over billions of years? How did sin and death come into the world through Adam's sin if millions of years of birth and death preceded him? If there is no original sin and no death sentence on humanity, then why did Christ have to be sacrificed? There doesn't seem to be a clear line where you can decide what to accept and what you can reject because the events of Genesis are interwoven throughout the Scriptures. Jesus, in fact, quotes Genesis 1 when discussing marriage.(some)Christians with an education in science do....

Sorry, but I don't see letters of accomplishment and swoon. Having a PhD in evolution studies just means you have a degree in propaganda of something that never happened. You can write about the accuracy of the Scriptures while rejecting much of the Scriptures if you can live with the duplicity. My point is simple and my conclusion irrefutable; you cannot simultaneously accept and deny that the Bible is the true inspired word of God.
It's been tested and falsified. It's been shown not to happen. The mechanism for advancing a species does not exist in nature.
The fossil record is entirely manipulated to show transition where none existed.
What biology tells us is that there are limits of speciation beyond which sterility always occurs
When the species is manipulated and cross bred too far the result is sterility. All breeders know this.
I'm not a biologist.
Likely all canines are one kind and felines are one kind.
It could be more specific than that; wolves and coyotes being different for example.
Except that benevolent mutations have never been shown to advance a species.
There is more evidence for devolution than evolution.
I'm in agreement that evolution doesn't take place at all.
Sorry. Evolution does not happen. Not even among bacteria.
Please, don't be disingenuous. You were the one that made the threat.
Wrong again, it goes against your interpretation of the Bible.
You can't even use the proper terminology and you get mad when people tell you that you have to learn the basics first? That is rather hypocritical. "Proof" as others have pointed out is a term for mathematics, not science. Science is evidence based just as courts of law are. There is more than enough evidence to prove that "life evolved beyond a reasonable doubt". And much of that science is accepted in courts of law. For example DNA testing tells us that we evolved, DNA testing also can be used to identify who the father of someone was. That is the exact same science that tells us that life evolved. If you want to learn people here will gladly help you. Otherwise there is no real difference between you and a person denying the fact that airplanes can fly.
So here we are again with a bunch of words, yet no proof...imagine that.
How about this one:
"For you will go out with joy And be led forth with peace; The mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you, And all the trees of the field will clap their hands."
Are you suggesting that Isaiah means exactly what he says here? Do you expect to hear mountains and hills to actually sing?
Does he know how evolution works? No, he doesn't.
Why doesn't he know? Probably because he doesn't want to know.
Or could it be, he doesn't know how it works because it doesn't work?
You've been told on several occasions that science does not deal in proofs. Continuing to use the word after shown to be wrong is intellectually dishonest.
Lets start with this: What evidence would be satisfactory to you to demonstrate that evolution is a fact?
"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."
The "dust of the ground" is mostly made up of silicon dioxide and various silicates. So, if we are invited to believe that the above verse is literally true, how is it that the human body is 18% carbon by weight, with only trace amounts of silicon present.
The dust in your house is mostly dead skin cells.
The chemical make up of earth is pretty much the same all the world over.
Christians with an education in science do....
Deborah Haarsma serves as the President of BioLogos, a position she has held since January 2013. Previously, she served as professor and chair in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
As Senior Scholar of BioLogos, Dr. Jeff Schloss holds the T. B. Walker Chair of Natural and Behavioral Sciences at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California, and directs Westmont’s Center for Faith, Ethics, and the Life Sciences. Schloss, whose Ph.D. in ecology and evolutionary biology is from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, often speaks to public, church-related, and secular academic audiences on the intersection of evolutionary science and theology.
Ted Davis is Professor of the History of Science at Messiah College, where he teaches courses on historical and contemporary aspects of Christianity and science and directs the Central Pennsylvania Forum for Religion and Science.
Ted writes for the BioLogos Forum, leading an on-line conversation on the history of Science and the Bible in the United States.
Darrel Falk is Senior Advisor for Dialogue at BioLogos. He is the author of Coming to Peace with Science: Bridging the Worlds Between Faith and Biology and speaks frequently on the relationship between science and faith at universities and seminaries. Darrel’s early research focused on Drosophila molecular and developmental genetics with funding from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. In 1988 he transitioned into Christian higher education in the biology department at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, where he is now Emeritus Professor of Biology. He is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Genetics Society of America, and the American Scientific Affiliation.
