The concept of our existence being more than a sack of chemicals driven by chemical reactions is contrary to Darwinist evolution though. Something beyond ourselves, outside of ourselves, then exists and we are more than a sack of chemicals driven by chemical reactions.
I think you reversed yourself here. you are the one that was stating that Darwinism made us only a sack of chemicals. Now you are saying it is contrary to that. No matter what there is a maner in which the body and mind work and that which is produced by each. Most of it is electrical as far as I understand.
While Christians losing their lives for the gospel is a tragedy, the teaching of Darwinism is also a tragedy. While one takes the life of an individual, their soul lives on. On the other hand, Darwinism may spare the life but will destroy the soul.
The teaching of Darwinism is no tradegy. It is something to bounce the thery of creation against. It is a thought counter to ours and as such is something that we must try to pull others away, but do you really think that you doing all that assuming without any solid evidence is going to get you anywhere. Science is not a philosophical discipline and has nothing to do with our feelings about it.
Belief is simply that and we must use that with the Lord has given us to use to countret what the world has become. If you think you can assualt science with emotionalism you are outmatched and person up a creek without a paddle.
Darwinist evolution rejects God and rejecting God has dire consequences.
It offers and alternative to religion and that is fine with me. Science has opened up knowledge that we never had before. It is not evil to think and come up with a theory that is counter to ours. It is Evil to force others to adhere to anyone's beliefs.
I would suggest you interact in the manner you deem appropriate and I'll interact in the manner I deem appropriate.
You said you would like to hear from Athiests and I offered you a valid suggestion. If you like breaking your head against a wall of resentment then do so. I would ask you what Jesus would do, because he sat down with people counter to him and I bet he didn't use the tactics you are using.
Like always there is a way to talk to people and there is ways not to. If you wish to browbeat so you personally can say that you defended something then that is on you. Please go after all the glory you seek. It is all about you, isn't it. Do you really think that making a specitcal has ever worked anywhere except for the media to use as an image they can toss back at us?
Darwinism is atheistic creationist pseudo-science and is in direct opposition to God and His word.
It is a counter idea that conforms to the ideology that we have. It is simply that and should be taken as it is. What do you think a thery is. Is it proven, no, but it does have evidence to support it.
Ok said that you were using this Chemicals in a bag and you said you weren't after I stated firmly how you were going about it.
Also I stated your intent in doing what you were doinuing because it was obvious to anyone who had read your posts what you were trying to set up and you countered with the statement that I said you didn't say that. Intent is not stated, that is why the word intent is apart of the vocabulary.
God was involved in the creation of mankind (as well as all creation) before we were born.
The journey is the experince any individual heas in growing up as a human being.

And this is wrong how?
Point out the part which isn't valid and give your reason why it's not valid.
The idea that mankind according to Darwinism is nothing but a sack of chemicals.
That's in the realm of apologetics and that's not allowed on this part of the forum. I certainly don't mind discussing it, but admins have pointed out frequently that's not a subject which is allowed here.
We are not in any way involved in any punishment because we are not the creator. If you were a parent and had two children. One older than the other and the younger was caught and punish for not obeying you, would you not tell the older child that it is not his station to punish your son, because he also is your son.
It has nothing to do with appologist. It is comon sence and did not God give us that.? We all know intrinsically what is right and wrong. Some simply ignore that because they feel they are intitled or they think there is something greater to gain as opposed to the consequences of their actions.
