CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

"I was just wondering what everyone thought about God's Warnings of evolusionists?"
This was the OP of this thread. And, even though it may not have been worded right, yec_12 was trying to covey the concept of Biblical warnings of scientists who seem to contradict God's word, in particular, the theory of evolution, and how it seemingly contradicts the literal interpretation of Genesis, and the warnings of false teachings and man's wisdom.
Wether you agree with yec_12's views or not, show a little respect, and address the OP topic, or don't post in this thread.

Thanks for explaining the question more.
I am confused though where it says that evolution is bad in the bible.
Or is this just one of those general, "Ignorance is bliss" or "science is the devils work" things that I can then rant off on how ignorance isnt bliss?

Well. St Augustine didn't seem to think there was a problem with contradicting the literal interpretation of Genesis:
"Often a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other parts of the world, about the motions and orbits of the stars and even their sizes and distances,... and this knowledge he holds with certainty from reason and experience. It is thus offensive and disgraceful for an unbeliever to hear a Christian talk nonsense about such things, claiming that what he is saying is based in Scripture. We should do all that we can to avoid such an embarrassing situation, lest the unbeliever see only ignorance in the Christian and laugh to scorn."
-- St. Augustine, "De Genesi ad litteram libri duodecim" (The Literal Meaning of Genesis)

Nothing. I'm sure many people think Augustine was an idiot. I mean, I've talked to people who think that a substantial majority of all Christian theologians who have ever lived "never really studied the Bible". We're often very insular.

I haven't seen any that are more specific than general warnings against "false teachings", which could be taken as referring to either evolution or YEC, depending on whom you ask.

G'day YEC 12,
I'm not sure I understand the question. I am unaware of any passages that speak of evolution explicitly. However, those who look at Creation and ignore the evidence for a Creator are described as suppressing the truth n Riomans 1. I posted this on another thread. Perhaps you refer to this text.

WOuldn't "false teachings" refer more to theological and philosophical ideas. Perhaps scientific theories can be used to bolster bizarre cults and ideas, but then again the the same can be said for the bible.

Since science doesn't even address God or how to worship Him, I'm not sure it falls under the false teachings the Bible warns against. I always thought that referred to false religious or theological teachings.

Put it more exactly what do you think of the Bible's condemnation of the wisdoms of man over God? This isn't a science question more of a personal question to each of you.

I have always understood that as applying to people who are totally sure they know what God wants, because those people have put their own belief above any possible clarification or correction from God.

When someone views God's Creation and asserts it happed by chance, they deny the existence of God. That is suppressing God's truth. Christians who seek to make Scripture compatible with popular scientific theories are also distorting the truth.
It comes as no surprise that so called Christians are able to distort even the most fundamental statements of Scripture with similar arguments. The teaching of Scripture on marriage, divorce, and homosexuality, and even the teaching on Christ's death and resurrection are completely undermined in this way.
