Do creationists accept the evolution of plants?

No more evidence than you have.


And that is where you are wrong. Evolution has more than enough evidence for it to be considered proven.

Now if you mean evidence for the existence or nonexistence of gods you would be right. I have no evidence that says that god does not exist. But then I never claimed that. My claim is that you have not provided enough evidence to support a reasonable belief in your god, and in that I am correct.

Getting back to evolution, the theory of evolution and science in general do not disprove god. They only disprove certain gods. For example Apollo was debunked once we realized the true nature of the Sun. And if your God is the God of the Genesis myth he was debunked in the 1800's. Of course that is only the God of literalists. Many Christians are not literalists. Their God is no debunked by science.

Well... Goodluck on all of that guys. I think the whole evolution thing is a lie from satan himself and he finds humour in the deception.


And you would be mistaken in that belief. Not only that, Original Sin is a very immoral belief. Think of it for a while. If your father murdered someone without you knowing about it would it be right for you to be forced to go to prison?

How do you know your outlook isn't Satan's lie and that he's not laughing at you?

I was reading on how Bill Nye was brought up religious. The problem with religion these days is that they send people to cemetary, oops I meant seminary, in hopes of doctrinating a good preacher.

The problem is that God does not start with the mind, he begins with the heart.As a reasult we have people like Bill Nye who have never met God on a spiritual basis and therefore do not believe.

Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

So...you know that you aren't being deceived because of the feeling in your heart...

I know that I haven't been deceived because of the empirically observed data I've seen...

Got it.

Or perhaps your God does not exist.

You do realize that not accepting the theory of evolution is roughly equivalent to the supposed beliefs of backwards tribes that cameras stole your soul.

The theory is extremely well proven. In science there is no controversy about the theory.

There would have been no hope of me converting to Christianity without the help of the Holy Spirit and him speaking to me. I too, at one time was an atheist.

I hear a lot of Christians claim this but I seriously doubt most of them.

Why were you an atheist? What religion did your parents have?

And remember that atheism and evolution are different subjects.

Why do you pick and choose which parts of the Bible to believe? No Christian that I know of believes the whole Bible. I am wondering why you believe the Earth is spherical and yet you don't accept the theory of evolution?

It was a man who let the spiritual E (warmth, love, motivation) / c2(faith, hope, charity, joy) lamp out of him. I wanted, and got, what he had spiritually.

Indeed. Evolution has absolutely nothing to do with my atheism. If I became convinced of God, it would merely mean that I would be convinced that both are true.

Your reply made no sense. It was not a response to my questions.

Could you please try again?
