or is it the living in sin list? re: consumate such a marriage are futile
(or maybe the need viagra list?)
Unfortunately a lot of critics of evolutionary theory aren't well-meaning. Many are bold-faced liars, deceivers, willfully ignorant stonewallers and other such riff-raff. Evolutionary theory needs to be defended because it is under unwarranted attack by these people.truth above all else said:why should a Christian be required to believe in evolution thus making it a faith.
If the evolutionary process is so obviously prevalent in nature then why is it constantly defended , redefined and its terms of reference narrowing.It appears that any well meaning critic of evolutionary theory must be refuted at any cost

Books don't disprove anything. Facts do.JohnR7 said:But the Bible does disprove man's theory of evolution.
God is a part of all natural processes, evolution included.Anything that God is not a part of, is doomed to failure.
Only in your mind. There hasn't been a criticism leveled at evolutionary theory that hasn't been refuted by a little bit of properly applied knowledge.Just as man's evolutionary theory has failed again and again.

It is not heretical to put evolutionary thinking under the microscope, what we are seeking is truth above all else,evolutionists seem unconcerned with the voluminous evidentiary problems that have been identified and argue that the theory has to be true regardless as described by the following quotefaster_jackrabbit said:Well meaning?

JohnR7 said:The Bible is more than just a book, it is the inspired word of God and is backed up with more then just the facts, it is backed up by the truth.
Usually, even a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other elements of this world, about the motion and orbit of the stars and even their size and relative positions, about the predictable eclipses of the sun and moon, the cycles of the years and the seasons, about the kinds of animals, shrubs, stones, and so forth, and this knowledge he holds to, as being certain from reason and experience. Now, it is a disgraceful and dangerous thing for an infidel to hear a Christian, presumably giving the meaning of Holy Scripture, talking nonsense on these topics; and we should take all means to prevent such an embarrassing situation, in which people show up vast ignorance in a Christian and laugh it to scorn. The shame is not so much that an ignorant individual is derided, but that people outside the household of faith think our sacred writers held such opinions, and, to the great loss of those for whose salvation we toil, the writers of our Scripture are criticized and rejected as unlearned men. If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven, when they think their pages are full of falsehoods on facts which they themselves have learned from experience and the light of reason? Reckless and incompetent expounders of Holy Scripture bring untold trouble and sorrow on their wiser brethren when they are caught in one of their mischievous false opinions and are taken to task by those who are not bound by the authority of our sacred books. For then, to defend their utterly foolish and obviously untrue statements, they will try to call upon Holy Scripture for proof and even recite from memory many passages which they think support their position, although they understand neither what they say nor the things about which they make assertions.

Who is supposed to have said that? Do you have proof that it came from a real evolutionary scientist?truth above all else said:It is not heretical to put evolutionary thinking under the microscope, what we are seeking is truth above all else,evolutionists seem unconcerned with the voluminous evidentiary problems that have been identified and argue that the theory has to be true regardless as described by the following quote
"It is not that the methods of science compel us to accept a material explanation of the world, but on the contrary that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counterintuitive. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we can not allow a Divine Foot in the door."

there are also many CURRENT finds that verify the bible. there will always be a yin and yang.BananaSlug said:O/T, but the knowledge of good came from the tree which God forbade A&E to eat. The serpent told them to eat it. God didn't want A&E to know good and evil... Which is funny because A&E knew the difference between good and evil but didn't really know it until God told them what was good and evil.
Current archaeological findings refute many of the claims of the Bible.

Got any links, from other than religious sites?kingzjewel said:there are also many CURRENT finds that verify the bible. there will always be a yin and yang.
That verify which parts of the Bible? Can we take a look at them?kingzjewel said:there are also many CURRENT finds that verify the bible. there will always be a yin and yang.
