Maybe, but technological changes aren't genetic either.I think culture lags behind changes in technology.

Personally, I'd lump technology in with culture.
I use a pick instead of a hammer drill at work. Technique can win over technology at times.I still shoot a recurve bow. Call me a dinosaur.

Not a part of the rules, so I will keep posting for Christianity, for scripture, for truth. You don't have to read them.
Sure post what you want. I'm just not sure what value repeating the "evolution is a lie of Satan" creationist cliche followed by some banal preaching is supposed to accomplish here. :/
I was directing my post to the OP, who identifies as Protestant. I certainly would not post that to you or the other non believers on here. Just because this is the secular area does not make everyone here an atheist or agnostic.
I work in soil testing, so that involves digging pits for sampling. With a little experience and elbow grease you can quickly break up the ground with a pick then shape the edges and take the sample with a shovel.Can you explain further? Sounds interesting.
So why, in your view, is evolution a "lie of Satan" rather than just wrong? What does Satan get out of it besides discrediting the interpretation of Genesis favored by some minority Protestant sects? It doesn't seem worth the effort.I was directing my post to the OP, who identifies as Protestant. I certainly would not post that to you or the other non believers on here.

Your re curve bow example is a good one from history. In experienced hands a bow is a better weapon than a crossbow or very early guns... but those two have the advantage of being much easier to train your soldiers how to use.

The same thing he gets out of convincing people the earth is round and orbits around the sun, I suppose.
Indeed, but a literal interpretation of Genesis is not necessary to support the doctrine of Original Sin. Augustine of Hippo, who first formulated that doctrine, himself contemplated figurative interpretations of Genesis.Because it discredits the foundation of the Gospel.
The issue with creation vs evolution isn't really about how things came to be, even if on first glance that is what it appears to be about, no its about sin and how sin came to be.
The Gospel is not just that Jesus will take away sins. It also includes what is sin, how sin came to be, the affect that sin has and why we need to be saved from it.
Wherever God wishes it to. The theory of evolution only accounts for our mere physical bodies.The very first lie Satan told was "Did God really say" Satan will stop at nothing to make people believe they are not sinners in need of repentance. What better way then for them to believe that they are just highly evolved animals. Where does sin or the spirit fit within that view?

If you're right about that, so much the worse for the gospel, because evolution is certainly true.
Can you support that assertion?But the matter of evolution vs sin is certainly why the church and belief in God have declined.
