Evolution and Christianity

[JesseB.]

I believe in god-inspired evolution, meaning God did create evolution to help his creation grow.

Another brother baited and hooked.

Crusader, are you saying that God did *not* create the process of evolution?

Which part is not true?

Does evolution not happen?

Or did God not create the process?

 

[Crusadar]

Vance said = Crusader, are you saying that God did *not* create the process of evolution?

No, I am saying that God did not create using evolution, therefore it did not occur.

Which part is not true?

The part that is not supported by scripture - and that practically encompasses the whole sacred cow of evolution.

Does evolution not happen?

Speciation or variations within a kind, yes. Mud to man evolution, no.

Or did God not create the process?

No it is not the method God used in creating - it is a man made, government funded fairytale to discredit God, and it is nothing more than a poorly supported excuse to turn away from the inevitable fact that God is creator.

Speciation is evolution, in reality species is all there is.

Abiogenesis is not evolution.

No it is not the method God used in creating - it is a man made, government funded fairytale to discredit God, and it is nothing more than a poorly supported excuse to turn away from the inevitable fact that God is creator.

Fairytale? Yes, because talking snakes, magic trees, anthropromorphic gods, etc is nothing like a fairy tale.

 

[Vance]

OK, Crusader, you say that speciation happens within "kinds". Do you believe this happens the way evolutionary biologists say it happens? Meaning, do you think that this "inter-kind" speciation and variation happens through the processes described by the theory of evolution?

[hint: most Christian Creation Scientists accept that speciation and variation are caused by the forces that are described by the theory of evolution, they just insist that it only provides for changes within a "kind"]

 

[Saint Philip]

He doesn't know what he's talking about since most Christians accept evolution with no problems. If it destroyed Christianity then Christians wouldn't accept it would they.

Actually, most Christians do not accept Evolution. And, those who do are just demonstrating the human ability to believe mutually exclusive things simultaneously.

 

[Vance]

Most Christians in America are succumbing to the allures of YEC'ism, it is true. But world-wide, the majority of Christians still believe as the Pope does, that evolution is a viable explanation for diversity on the planet which is not inconsistent with God as the Creator (a paraphrase and someone can correct me on the details if they like).

Roman Catholics hold the theistic evolution view and RC makes up most of Christianity.

Creationism is really only popular in America and "Americanized" countries, which isn't really surprising considering the things that go on there (suing McDonalds for being fat, aliens abductions, etc). Places like Sweden for instance you'd be laughed at even by the Christiajs if you said you were a creationist.

People who argue against evolution usually have no idea what evolution actually is. Can you tell us what evolution is?
