Reasonable faith still has to be faith. That is from God and the things of God are foolishness (silly) to the world.

I wonder how many of you guys had faith at one time, but couldn't defend it in light of science; so now you're here, trying to make it look like we can't defend our faith either?
Obviously not enough. Your theology has errors not the bible. First example of that is the fact you think I can tell you anything to make you a believer; yet at the same time you believe your disbelief is due to your wisdom.
1 Corinthians 1:27 (KJV) But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
If I've asked you this before ... I apologize ... but it's my favorite question for those who claim they deconverted.AV,
I have a graduate degree in a science related field and believed for a good 20 years after earning that degree, so defending the belief in regards to science had zero to do with not believing in Christianity any longer.
Looking deep into the bible though (specifically the NT), was what started the ball rolling and then taking another look at the claims of Christianity and the definition of the Christian God and comparing that to the realities of the world. They couldn't be reconciled any further for me and I don't play pretend belief games with myself.
And, I am here for intellectual conversation, entertainment and observing the psychology involved in the posters on this board, which I find highly intriguing.

Hebrews 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
Hebrews 6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
Are you saying, bhsmte, that at one time you:
... and gave all that up?
- were enlightened
- tasted of the heavenly gift
- made a partaker of the Holy Ghost
- tasted the good word of God
- tasted the powers of the world to come
They aren't all facts.
Adaptation or microevolution; which is easily observed; works in the opposite direction of evolution; which has never been observed. Repeated deletion never leads to addition, only a reduction from the original. Benevolent mutations have never been shown to advance any species. In fact, as the experiment with fruit flies demonstrated, benevolent mutations may not exist at all.
That is non-scientific babal. Your argument is one sided.

"Natural process" Please explain how evolutionary beginnings of a universe are natural.

Would you say the parable of the seed falling upon Stoney ground would hit home with you?
PsychoSarah said:And yes, god effortfully makes intelligent people and people who seek to understand the world confused. Because, you know, that is ever so productive.
biggles53 said:Conclusion assumed in the premise....
Sin is very productive. So productive is sin, that the Author and Finisher of my Faith is required in order for there to be no confusion.
PsychoSarah said:Do you really want me to list out the multiple books worth of data, the history and efforts of people over the course of decades, which support what I have said about evolutionary theory, which isn't even claiming evolution to be true, but just clearing up what it means and some misconceptions about it?
Sure, if I can have your time to also explain the scriptures to you also in full detail.
PsychoSarah said:Evolutionary theory doesn't cover how the universe came to be, only how living entities change over time across generations. It doesn't even cover how life originates, evolution isn't the theory of everything.
In that case explain why the first one cell, asexual organism changed? Considering that reproduction itself involves in something dying?
