Does learning about evolution make you uncomfortable?

[April_Rose]

It's a catchphrase from a tv show.

Oh,.. never heard of it and I'm afraid that I don't get what you're trying to say. :/

 

[HitchSlap]

These polls never have the correct answer on them.

I'm a creationist and learning about the fairy tale of evolution is a waste of time.

There you go, I added the correct answer for you. I love how you think its to do with comfort. I was an evolutionist for 25 years, that was quite enough wasted time. Now I prefer to spend my time learning something like crochet or gardening, something actually of value.

Well, saying goddidit certainly frees up a lot of time.

It does, glad someone on here appreciates that. Now you all have time for tea and cookies.

Whatever happens .. avoid the effort required to actually think deeply and logically ...

Since when has being intellectually 'comfortable' been followed by practical solutions to life's real challenges?

How about a cold beer and a good book on biology. I recommend David Reich's Who We Are and How We Got Here.

It's what religion peddles, comfort, that is.

They say peer reviews prove evolution.

I'm tempted to gouge my eyes out, but I think I'll just sign out and finish my glass of wine.

 

[AV1611VET]

... anyways please explain what you meant about your beliefs more because I'm curious.

Sure.

I believe God created the universe with age embedded into it.

I call it Embedded Age Creation and define it as: maturity without history.

In other words, God created Adam fully-grown and able to marry and have children right from the get-go.

Adam Clarke, in his commentary, puts it very well:

It appears that God created every thing, not only perfect as it respects its nature, but also in a state of maturity, so that every vegetable production appeared at once in full growth; and this was necessary that man, when he came into being, might find every thing ready for his use.

God can make a dress tomorrow, so old it falls apart with age.

Btw, no offense or anything but your avatar gives me the creeps, but I like being scared so,... Yeah. XD

My avatar is Alfred E. Neuman, the cover boy for MAD Magazine.

Ohh,.. well he's still sort of creepy looking lol but yeah I thought that's what all Christians believed though. It's clear Adam and Eve were adults,.. it's even written about in the Bible that that's how God created them.

 

[AV1611VET]

And oh what a twist it is.

I'm glad you like it.

AKA cognitive dissonance. He's found a way to square the circle so he can sleep at night.

It's actually a tad different than Apparent Age Creation.

Unfortunately for AV, this is a ridiculous assertion.

As it should be, if you look at it through the eyes of an evolutionist.

One for which he has no evidence, but in fact ALL available evidence demonstrates this to be false.

God did not leave evidence behind when He created the universe.

Instead He documented what He did, when He did it, how He did it, what order He did it in, where He did it, why He did it, how long it took Him to do it, why it took Him that long, and who the eyewitnesses were.

 

[AV1611VET]

Actually, it's unfalsifiable.

As it should be.

Falsifiability is an aspect of science; and God didn't use science, He performed miracles.

 

[AV1611VET]

But that was an illusion created by God.

Nope.

You can't put fish in an aquarium, then grow their food.

They'll starve.

 

[AV1611VET]

13.7 billion years, to be exact.

 

[SelfSim]

... Falsifiability is an aspect of science; and God didn't use science, He performed miracles.

Well .. all only because you say so.

Did he define what a miracle is?
If not, how do you know that's what he was actually doing? .. (I mean, given that you also claim that he chose to be 'secretive' by misleading us about the evident age of the Earth and the Universe).

 

[AV1611VET]

Did he define what a miracle is?

His "fingerprint."

Exodus 8:16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt. 17 And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt. 18 And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast. 19 Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.

I love a good smote.

Is that even loosely related to my question?

You're assuming that the documents are not part of the same fake history. There's no way to tell.

 

[AV1611VET]

Fine.

Then I'll change it:

Did he define what a miracle is?

Yes.
