Hey, Anglican, would it bother you if theistic evolution was taught in history or science class?If what you meant is biblical creationism, then yes, it has been tossed and good riddance.
I don’t recommend arguing with brick walls or playing chess with pigeons.
Not in science class. Theistic evolution does not belong there any more than biblical creationism. I never found it much of a problem. My kids believed in God before they went to school and still believed after they got out. They understood that science does not address the question of whether God exists, so their faith was not disturbed by it.Hey, Anglican, would it bother you if theistic evolution was taught in history or science class?
Maybe let your pastor teach that segment of the class?
Speaking of science, Anglican, I've been wondering this lately.It just doesn't come up in science class but even there it is not explicitly denied.
No, you claimed "creation is being tossed" and I just wanted to make sure what you meant by "creation."
Sorry ... I don't understand your answer.Not in science class. Theistic evolution does not belong there any more than biblical creationism. I never found it much of a problem.

Thanks for the explanation. We obviously are miles apart when it comes to goals. I don't expect atheists to believe or understand a lot of things, especially when it comes to God and things of a spiritual nature (1 Corinthians 2:14). I keep in mind that more than just atheists are reading such threads as these.-_- you know, from my perspective, that sentence might as well be "what a waste to win a debate and not win nothing". The concept of "winning souls" doesn't make sense to an atheist, because even atheists that do believe in an afterlife don't view souls as "winnable".
I'm on here to improve my patience by challenging it with debates, and given the fact that my patience has improved a bit, I do view this as a worthwhile use of my time. Whether or not people change their minds is irrelevant to that goal.
God makes all the difference, doesn't He?Yes, just as much as if biblical creationism were being taught.
Welcome to CF!!I don't understand why people can't believe in god and observe science?
Since I don't take Holy Communion to "stay saved" I don't think I'll answer your question.Speaking of science, Anglican, I've been wondering this lately.
Since you take Holy Communion to stay saved, answer me this:
Did you ever think to slip a wafer into your pocket and send it to AncestryDNA™ for analysis?
Or might that result in a faith crisis?
Wouldn't that provide physical evidence of God's existence?Since I don't take Holy Communion to "stay saved" I don't think I'll answer your question.
I dunno.
Why would it have ape DNA in it?I dunno.
It seems to me if you took one of those wheat DNA wafers and sent it in, and it came back as ape DNA, I'm sure some scientist somewhere would think something's wong in Hong Kong.
Because it literally changed into Jesus' body?Why would it have ape DNA in it?
