  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

He was saying that he doesn't elevate science to the status of creator, so I was wondering what he does credit it to, if not some sort of God.

My guess is that the answer is "I don't know". That was always my answer when I didn't believe in God, and it's a perfectly reasonable answer.

Of things I have had no explanation for, and later found an explanation, most have not been explained by "God did it".

The scientific method was created by HUMANS, not your God.

...and last time I checked, I don't worship "science" or consider it a "creator" as most religions characterize "god".

Everything that is, has come from God!

Including science... God created science through man...ok? Understand?

That is often the same thing as saying, I am to lazy to search out that answer for you. In some cases it is justifed because people will try to get us to do their work for them. In other cases, it is just an excuse to sit down and do nothing. It is a violation of science that will at least try to come up with three theorys if they can not find the answer to something.

God created man with the ability to be able to observe God's creation. Also, God put understanding into Creation, so that man would be able to understand his observations.

Proverbs 2:6
    For the Lord gives wisdom;
    From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;

IMO not anyone else's, but there isn't any other logical way. I don't believe in god and never will again. And it's the evidence for evolution that makes me say that.

Why call them aliens? Why not use their proper Bible name and call them demons?

I am not talking about demons. :rolleyes:

I am talking about people from other worlds. dUh!

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY GOD HAS COMMISIONED ME TO OPPOSE EVOLUTION! IT TURNS PEOPLE AWAY FROM BELIEVING IN GOD!

It is a straight up lie from satan (the god of this world) as the bible states!

Seesaw, I know that you have persued God before, And I am here to tell you, that He is not far from you and if you seek Him out once again with all of your heart, You will find Him! I am a messenger sent here by Him to encourge you to return to Him! This also goes for others here that have fallen away because of the belief in theories from man that has caused people to become blinded to the truth in Christ Jesus!

Please take this seriously, and remember, to all of you here, God is listening, call upon Him today and He can be found, from your bedrooms, cry out to Him, from your living rooms, cry out to Him, you shall find Him!

(Anyone, Feel free to send me a private message and I will pray for/with you!)

SORRY BUT EVOLUTION ISN'T WAY I AM NO LONGER A CHRISTIAN DUDE. I FOUND EVOLUTION AND PHYSICS AFTER I LEFT CHRISTIANITY. DANG...

Even if it would turn people away it's none of your business.

Well, my friend, I am afraid that you are standing on very shaky ground if your disbelief in a personal God is based off of a scientific theory :)

Surely there must be a better reason for disbelief than "evidence for evolution," as there are most definantly better reasons for faith in a personal God than belief in creation.

I am a Christian, and I don't know where I stand in the whole evolution/creation mix. Why? Because I am unqualified. I do not have the knowledge of the subject to make an accurate judgement.

I would very much like to see where the Bible says that evolution is "a straight-up lie from satan," that could help me in maybe forming an informed opinion on this issue.

See I don't believe in god cause of evolution. Evolution doesn't say there isn't a god. It only tells how we god here. It doesn't say how the origins of life began. My disbelief in god comes from the fact that there is no proof or evidence for god. And no reason for there to be a god.

I have studied evolution for about 3 & half years now. And Physics for 4 almost 5 years. And IMO there is no god.

What a profound statement. Very telling!

I feel bad for you seesaw. :(

Personally, I found the opposite to be true. I was lied to as a student of evolution in school, and when I saw how it can't be true many years ago, I started to think there might be a God. *shrug*
