Creationism - Lazy Man's science?

[AV1611VET]

Jesus didn't believe in the Internet either. Why are you using the Internet?

Anyone else have a *cough* answer? I'm sure, since you atheists and agnostics are so "studious" --- surely you can come up with something.

 

[Kaonashi]

Jesus never said anything about evolution or YECism.

The same logic in my statement applies to your statement. Think about when the theory of evolution was discovered versus when Christ lived. Then think about when the Internet appeared versus when Christ lived.

 

[AV1611VET]

Jesus never said anything about evolution or YECism.

He didn't? Didn't mention creation at all? Not a thing, huh?

 

[AV1611VET]

Come back when you've got an answer.

"Next!"

 

[Pete Harcoff]

Come back when you've got an answer.

"Next!"

You really don't understand? Wow...

 

[Kaonashi]

He mentioned creation but he did not mention YECism.

 

[AV1611VET]

He mentioned creation but he did not mention YECism.

I don't care what He mentioned, Kaonashi.

Let's try this again:

Jesus didn't believe in evolution --- why should we?

 

[Pete Harcoff]

Let's try this again:

Jesus didn't believe in evolution --- why should we?

Jesus didn't believe in electricity...

Jesus didn't believe in germ theory...

Jesus didn't believe in airplanes...

Jesus didn't believe in the moon landing...

Jesus didn't believe in quantum mechanics...

You can do this with anything that didn't appear until after Christ's death. It's fun!

Okie-doke, Pete. Like I said --- anyone else?

 

[Kaonashi]

Can you prove that he did not believe in evolution?

 

[AV1611VET]

*** yawn ***

 

[AV1611VET]

Can you prove that he did not believe in evolution?

No --- you show me --- I want to see, since you evolutionists are so "studious" --- if you can even find it.

(Sorry brothers and sisters in Christ, this OP has me upset.)

 

[Pete Harcoff]

AV1611VET, don't you get that your question is inherently illogical? The Theory of Evolution didn't exist in Christ's time. Therefore, how could he have subscribed to something that didn't exist yet?

As to why you should accept it now, maybe because it's a cornerstone of modern biology backed by 150 years of scientific research and has applications in conservation, agriculture, medicine and other areas of applied biotechnology?

Or, if you're looking for some deeper theological reason, maybe because that's what God's Creation reveals?

 

[Protinus]

The people who actually practice science disagree with you.

Ummm..I agree!!

 

[AV1611VET]

Jesus didn't believe in evolution, why should we?

AV1611VET, don't you get that your question is inherently illogical?

I plan to stay focused until you "atheists" answer this.

Let's try this another way, then.

Complex question / Fallacy of interrogation / Fallacy of presupposition

This is the interrogative form of Begging the Question. One example is the classic loaded question:

"Have you stopped beating your wife?"

The question presupposes a definite answer to another question which has not even been asked. This trick is often used by lawyers in cross-examination, when they ask questions like:

"Where did you hide the money you stole?"

Similarly, politicians often ask loaded questions such as:

"How long will this EU interference in our affairs be allowed to continue?"

or

"Does the Chancellor plan two more years of ruinous privatization?"

Another form of this fallacy is to ask for an explanation of something which is untrue or not yet established.

 

[AV1611VET]

Let's try this another way, then.

Have you stopped beating your wife?

Over 1 hour since I asked this --- unbeli... er ... believable.

 

[Protinus]

Have you stopped beating your wife?

is that what you said?

 

[Kaonashi]

No --- you show me --- I want to see, since you evolutionists are so "studious" --- if you can even find it.

(Sorry brothers and sisters in Christ, this OP has me upset.)

No, You made the claim that Jesus did not accept evolution and now You have to back it up.
Where in the Gospels does it say that Jesus did not accept evolution?
