Because you can do nothing without God and you can not have evolution without God. If God is not a part of evoluion then it will be destoryed in the fire at the end of this age. Also you may want to look at the word Creation next to the word Evolution. God is the Creator, so you can not have a Creation without a Creator. So you can maybe exclude God from your life, but you can not exclude God from this forum. Of course there is no life without God. Isa 40:8 "The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever."How does this belong in the evolution forums?

Do you really think God does not hear us?
Do you really think that God does not listen?
Sure you can. Take a look at the theory. Nothing in it involves God, thus, it can occur quite happily without him. It doesn't preclude God, but it doesn't require him either.Because you can do nothing without God and you can not have evolution without God.
Actually it is against the rules to say your going to report a thread. But I will repeat the question. Can we have a personal relationship with God?*facepalm*
I'm going to go ahead and report this thread for the wrong forum.
Nope. Science is descriptive, not prescriptive. Science tells us what happens, not what should happen. Just because we observe living creatures reproducing and surviving, doesn't mean that we believe that's all there is to life.For the evolutionists the main objective is reproduction and survival.
Ooh, you're doing it again! Tell us, Oh Sage, how you divined this information! I always thought I had hope for a world without disease or war, but clearly you know me better than I do - so tell me, what else do I hope for? What's my favourite colour? Favourite genre of music or film? What do the spirits tell you of my economic beliefs? Do the tarot cards unearth my innermost sexual fetishes?They have no hope that the world will ever be a perfect place to live.
That is the fundamental difference between Evolution and Creationism. Creationism requires a Creator. Evolution does not. Perhaps the question then is does Creationism require a relationship between Creator and Creation (us). Did God just wind us all up in the beginning or is the Creator still a active part of His Creation?Sure you can. Take a look at the theory. Nothing in it involves God, thus, it can occur quite happily without him. It doesn't preclude God, but it doesn't require him either.
If you hope for a world without war, then I would imagine you hope for a world without conflict.I always thought I had hope for a world without disease or war, but clearly you know me better than I do - so tell me, what else do I hope for?
The Bible says everyone is fundamentally evil, starting at an attractive woman is as bad as rape, and any crime can be forgiven, consequence free. I'm disinclined to trust that kind of advice.If you hope for a world without war, then I would imagine you hope for a world without conflict.
The Bible does get into a discussion on Human Nature.
Pastors generally have a formal education and qualifications in counselling and the like - it comes under 'pastoral care'. I'd go to a pastor too, so long as he didn't drip his advice in religious hocum.I would trust the Bible a lot more then I would Dr Fraud and his apprentice Dr Spook. Or whatever it is science has to offer. As I said in another thread, if I needed personal advice I would be much better off going to a free pastor rather then paying a psychologist $100 an hour. Assuming of course that you go to a main line church where the pastor has a real education and not just an independant church where they may only have a two year degree.
And what would constitute 'dripping advice in religious hocum?' saying Jesus walked on water?I'd go to a pastor too, so long as he didn't drip his advice in religious hocum.
Depends. If he were using it as an analogy to help me with a particular problem, that's fine.And what would constitute 'dripping advice in religious hocum?' saying Jesus walked on water?
Would you -- maybe -- answer my question, please?Depends. If he were using it as an analogy to help me with a particular problem, that's fine.
It's like the rumour about Alcoholics Anonymous, where you have to accept a supreme being and the power of prayer before you can pass and get cured. If this is true, then AA is dripping with religious hocum.
By 'That's fine' I meant 'That isn't dripping with religious hocum'. If his advice requires religion to take, then it's dripping with religious hocum. Simple benchmark.Would you -- maybe -- answer my question, please?
I didn't ask what was 'fine;' I ask what constituted 'dripping with religious hocum?'
(Or you can just ignore me -- makes no diff.)
The fundamental difference between Evolution and Creationism is one is a fact and the other is a belief.That is the fundamental difference between Evolution and Creationism. Creationism requires a Creator. Evolution does not.
Oh, please ...The fundamental difference between Evolution and Creationism is one is a fact and the other is a belief.
They profess to believe in a "Higher Power" or a "Power greater then ourselves".It's like the rumour about Alcoholics Anonymous, where you have to accept a supreme being and the power of prayer before you can pass and get cured. If this is true, then AA is dripping with religious hocum.
