If evolution is real, then where is it?

[crjmurray]

It's cause science is a lie. Why do y'all think I don't fly in them aeroplanes? Just cause science says they gonna fly don't mean nothing to me nuh uh.

You mean to tell me that a giant piece of metal and plastic is gonna FLY over oceans?

They probably falsified all that there "science."

I use a horse and carriage like any self-respecting Christian. If the lord wanted us to sail the skies he'd'a given us wings, amen.

How the crap do you get to stay on this site?

If you don't acknowledge the vast evidence that supports evolution, that is your choice, but it is there and it is real, whether you acknowledge it or not.

Religious people often talk about a "soul". If a soul is real, where is it?

It's in your body.

LoL isn't evolution like faith after all?
-LOOK AT ALL THE EVOLUTION AROUND US!...
-But, where?, I don't see evolution anywhere, I just see animals like they are and they give birth to their kind.
-Just because you don't see it it doesn't mean it isn't real!! Just wait millions of years and you will see it, you filthy christian retrograd!!

We demonstrate evolution on small time scales all the time. That's why creationists have latched onto their version of terms "I believe in micro evolution, not macro evolution" ignoring that the only difference between the two wasn't scale and time.

We have the pattern of ERV genetic evidence between living species, we have many, many transitional fossils.

Yet you speak as if we ask you to take things on faith for no reason.

Feel free to not accept evolution for any reason you feel comfortable with, but when you misstate our position you are spreading an untruth and you should be ashamed of yourself. I've read a book with things to say about doing that:

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

Exactly!

And by exactly, I do mean exactly exactly, my good friend. I just about had that same ole conversation with a fella who works down at the record store.

He said those exact words, and I responded with those same words, and then he admitted that he was wrong about them evolutions. Goodness gracious I can't believe how spot-on you were being. That there is just how it all goes down in the real world, mmhmm, yes it is. An accurate representation of exactly the kind of arguments we get into.

In fact, the other day, when Bappy Tish and Mo Pete tried to convince me to give up my creationism and get baptized in their evolution, I still remember how that all went down.

"Scooter," she done said to me, "ya'll know that creationism's a lie, don't ya?"

"Naw I don't know that. What's done gotten into you, Bappy?"

"Well, Clifton down at the record store showed me a monkey turning into a man, and now I see we was wrong, Scooter."

"We ain't wrong."

"Oh yes we is."

So I took Bappy Tish and good 'ole Mo Pete and we went down on to the record store, and then that atheist fella said he gonna show us. So you know what he went and did? He disappeared into his closet, came out five minutes later dressed as a monkey. That's right, a monkey. And from the way he thought I was gonna go on believin it, he musta been trying to make a monkey outta me!

"See now?" Bappy said to me. "That there is the evolutions."

"Bappy that ain't no evolutions!" I told her. "That there is a Satan-loving deceiver wearing a monkey suit."

Well, Bappy didn't believe me, so I went over there, took off his monkey helmet, and showed her. Then we hit him over the head, dragged him to the town square, and stoned him to death.

Hallelujah praise Jesus, amen.

P.S. God, if you is listening, we about running out of record-store employees. Can you send us some more?

-_- some sort of joke?

We can only hope. If not it is someone wishing to paint us in a bad light which happens.

Just noticed he is a seeker...

That's what it is. The guy is a really irritating troll. I don't know how he's still here.

He hasn't really done anything to get banned yet. I wrote more but thought better of it, I might get banned. Actually, saying you stoned someone might be a valid reason to ban someone...

I would think attempting to paint Christians as fools would be banworthy.

How do you do that with the rule that we are not suppose to question whether or not someone is a Christian?

 

[crjmurray]

That rule should take the backseat when someone is just trolling. And its obvious this is a troll.

I wonder why He documented that He did it in six days?

Genesis is a legend, it shows the cosmology of the tribes of Hebrew people,
There was no way this people could understand a more complex theory so God allow for this explanation to be used.

now is obvious that that explanation is an oversimplification. but in essence is correct God created man. the metaphor in which man is made of mud it shows that man is made of earth atoms and molecules.

This is complex issue how to put the simplicity of thinking 4000 years ago in today's science frame.

He did not.

I wonder why He documented that He did it in six days?

I wonder why you actually think that there is any "documentation" of this.

 

[morse86]

I've read Genesis 1 and 2 over and over and I cannot find this "gap" people talk about. The first chapter talks about God's creation and the second chapter goes into the details. There is no gap!

God created everything in six days, that is literal. God rested on the seventh day.

We know this because God says in Exodus 20:9-10:
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

We have supporting verses in other books of the bible that confirm without a doubt a six day creation.

 

[pakicetus]

Just because the Bible says it doesn't make it true.

You lost me here, Ivan, sorry.

I'm asking why God documented that He did it in six days.

If you're saying those six days are just a metaphor for something much bigger, then what about the order of the metaphors in Genesis 1?

Is the order just a metaphor as well?

How, for example, do you have angiosperms before the sun -- even metaphorically?
