Nor the manipulation. We dont really need to discuss how sad it is that people leave the church because everyone doesnt bow to ToE. lol, get real
Like it matters what anyone says here anyway, its the internet, no one is necessarily who or what they seem. I learn that the hard way, time and again.
You complain a lot for someone trying to convince someone (yourself, perhaps?) that none of it matters...
Maybe, but a little leaven leavens the whole lump. If what you say is true then that would be the likely cause.
Does that mean it's part of the natural world?The supernatural world can interface with the natural world and even remove people out of it.
No, scientific theory can be wrong. New discoveries, new ways of measuring things, new insights etc. and theories are revised or sometimes even abandoned. That's why science works. That's why the scientific method is the only reliable way of understanding natural phenomena. That's why human society has been able to emerge from being comparative brutes who had little control over their lives to ones that can cure diseases, re-attached severed hands, use computers, construct and fly aeroplanes and do all those things from which you and I receive an infinite number of benefits on a daily basis. If it weren't for science my friend, chances are you most probably wouldn't have made it past your sixth birthday. Me neither. So don't knock science!
If you don't have a proper grasp of the meaning of 'theory', that doesn't make you stupid! It simply means that you have not properly investigated was science really is, how it works and why it trumps superstitions and myths a million times over. Sarcasm is unnecessary and probably un-Christian?
Nobody was around to directly observe the Big Bang, true, but creation-science people overlook that nobody was around to directly observe God creating in six days either.
At times, yes.Does that mean it's part of the natural world?
Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy.
Nothing there about origins.
Only if they begin with the same premise; that life originated somehow on its own. Creation scientists begin with a different premise, examine the same evidence and come up with entirely different conclusions.
Wow, no kidding? Did you come to that conclusion on your own?
Next you'll be telling me that eyewitness testimony must be stricken from all courthouses since they rely on the personal interpretation of different senses from different angles of view, and personal testimony is not testable.
I think the courts would disagree.
Is foolishness your goal or just an ancillary effect?
The theory of evolution has nothing to do with biology, either. As pointed out, biology is the study of living things.
Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy.
Since evolution is disproved by a higher authority, Christians who adhere to the teaching of Scripture reject evolution.
Nothing has been shown to evolve. The fossil record shows us animals that lived and died without ancestor or predecessor.
To "teach the controversy" in a science class is an absolute crock because when it comes to the theory of evolution there really is no controversy.
lol. But it might come in handy in the zombie apocalypse.Should someone show their kids a video on how to make a pipe bomb, then let them make up their own minds?
What about fish having legs?Everyone learns how to breed animals and plants.
It's the stories about birds being dinosaurs that
have no value.
You are wrong about the internet!This. There's no controversy at all, except for on the internet where there's a controversy about everything.
I would tell my child to tell them we walk by faith and not by sight; and we're not obligated to defend our faith in the face of Egyptian (worldly) science.
I would explain to him that our faith is a shield, not an offensive weapon -- (Ephesians 6).
The Bible is our offensive weapon.
Agreed. Or shelter them, until they go to college and reject the unnecessary dogma along with the meaningful aspects of their faith as well.Hardly a valid comparison since evolution is correct it is not "arming" a student when you teach him or her what happened. Now if your beliefs get "blown up" as a result that is not the child's fault, that is your fault for choosing a false belief in the first place.
?? If God planned fish to multiply over the earth starting from the sea of Eden, how would some NOT need legs??What about fish having legs?
If God planned for life to evolve, why couldn't some fish NOT develop terrestrial habits??? If God planned fish to multiply over the earth starting from the sea of Eden, how would some NOT need legs??
