God used Evolution to create man

[PsychoSarah]

Didn't say it was.

Also, belief isn't a choice. Most people do not seek to become atheist

Is belief a product of Darwinist evolution?

 

[Dizredux]

How many 'main reasons' was that?

Six according to a survey of young people by Barna.

The mixed message of accepting Christ while also accepting the worldview which rejects God as creator would be a mixed message, wouldn't you think?

It is false to say that accepting evolution rejects God as creator. It can mean one sees that God created using evolution.

Saying things that are false over and over in defense of one's religion is a dangerous game, if you are caught at it what does it say about your own spirituality?

I think theists overestimate evolution's influence on atheism.

Of course it is. That doesn't make the belief false . . .

Probably in that as the brain developed it became able to form religious beliefs. Many feel this is where God gave humans souls.

No, I haven't said that accepting evolution rejects God as creator. Accepting the view that ONLY naturalistic mechanisms created humanity would therefore reject God as creator, wouldn't it?

Where, in the process of Darwinist evolution, was belief created?

'Probably' is your opinion?

Sure, but not all atheists are naturalists (hoping that I didn't accidently use the one that refers to nudists by mistake).

I think that's 'naturists'. Maybe.

What would be another view of atheists, other than ONLY naturalistic mechanisms, which created the complex and varied life we observe today?

 

[Dizredux]

'Probably' is your opinion?

You really don't understand much about science. All scientific theories are provisional in nature and expressing an idea as probably accurate is the correct term no matter how much evidence is available supporting it and in this case there is a lot.

Not to sound ridiculous, but aliens, for one. Feel free to insert an Ancient Aliens reference into that if you wish. In any case, even for those who are naturalists, that doesn't mean they have to be nihilists. And never neglect to account for people who just don't think about philosophy all that much.

You probably think you're right.

I have often found it fascinating that creationists such as justlookinla can't come to terms with the concepts of tentativity and fallibility.

Aliens would still have to account for the presence or the absence of a 'you' though. Wouldn't it?

You are going to have to elaborate on what you mean, I have trouble with the vagueness

1 Samuel 15:3New International Version (NIV)

3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy[a] all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”

What is your point?

Who are you directing this type of behavior to?

Serious question.
